We must learn to be conscious of the reaction of the audience and not entirely taken up with our personal histrionics. Therefore, l highly approve of the theme which S'47 has selected for its year book, All the Worlds a Stage - . lf we can learn to see ourselves as actors in the great drama of life, we may be better able to keep the proper perspective and bring balance and proportion to the interpretation of our respective roles. We may feel at times that We have been sadly miscast, that we have been forced to play only bit parts when our talents are for greater things, We may feel that the stage directions are muddled and confused- that the director is incompetent. The setting may seem unreal, the lighting effects bad. Or we may even think that our part is greater than our abilities-that we have insufficient ability and training to play the leading role. No matter what our attitude may be, this we must learn. The success of the play is determined by the team work and cooperation of every individual connected with the cast--from the prompter to the greatest hero in his most thrilling climax, lf we want this world drama to have a happy ending We must be governed by one principle only: Act well your part, there all the honor lies, -Claude L.

For years against a brilliant sky Has stood a tower, tall and high, A tower ruddy, gleaming bright Has stretched toward the sun's warm light. It guards the spacious buildings, broad, Filled with a changing, youthful hoard, Looms o'er ivy-covered walls, Stands sentinel over teeming halls. Ears have heard a thousand times The silver pealing of the chimes, And eyes have lifted up to see lt rise there, always strong and tree. The old friends soon must go away, While those who come with each new day See rise above their new school home The tower, guardian ol Rome. -Iome Schick '-It-'tl-T 1 ', 9.1 xo. x v., .1 0 Q f 11 .9',9' Q 0' 'I- '..:,o'. 4 . -.. llc' P25 9 -gf Ar ,oc r. ,Q '0 ts. x',. 4 .' -5:52 O x8'A,.'xx ss SQ Q 1 UW V ,.. -I ,. . 1 ,A Il' ' ml 1 S6 'f'0 I 1 Q s ,Q .su '-'fsfx' 's'1 .1 , IACK ALEXANDER Student Body President, W'47 'Exerting twice as much energy and effort as might be expected of a class of its size, the W'47 graduating class excelled in accomplishments during its rei gn.

The Cabinet class was mainly responsible for the bringing about of this high spirit through its publicity and campaign- ing, which proved highly successful. Another achievement which shows that the W'47 class really had its mind on school government was the fact that the first draft of the newly planned constitution was d rawn up by the Cabinet class of that term. The ever-popular Roman Club Dances were another in- no t' ' ' va ion of which this class can be proud. Formed under the ' sponsorship of Mrs. Edna Evans, and the original planner and first president of the Roman Cl b u , Norman Adams, the club prospered and continued to grow through the nextiterm. In order to help BlO's and other new students become acquainted with their school faster and more easily, B10 orientation ' pamphlets were issued, tours for these groups were conducted, and other methods such as assembly enter- tainment were planned for these groups. As a final gesture of their sincerity member f , s o the class left a handsome bulletin board for the school to use in an- nouncing the weekly events. At the bottom reads their in- scription to the school and the many students yet to pass through her halls.

Working as a powerful unit, these Student Body officers planned and staged a successful B10 tour and dance, improved the condition of the campus by helping to stage a Clean Yard Campaign, put on a really fine Smile Week to increase school spirit, analyzed the newly proposed Constitution of the Student Council, and did other things too numerous to mention. Individually the six major student body officers also did an excellent job boosting school spirit and continuing the traditions that go to make LA, High a truly great school. The much-publicized co-Girls' Division presidents more than lived up to their advance press notices in doing just twice as much as any other Girls' Division president has ever done. Combining their efforts, they promoted a successful Greek Drive, put on a girls' fashion show that was nothing short of sensational, and planned many other social activities. The House of Representatives set its goal at more student activities, Some things accomplished along that line were the noon movies, B10 Orientation Pamphlets, revised constitution for the school, and a continuation of Mixer activities.

Ever since l893, when through the interest of Ernest W. Oliver the school was represented by a company known as the L.A, High Cadets, military training has been a part of Los Angeles High School. The cadets continued at LA. until l9l9 when an order from the War Department established an official ROTC at L.A, High in compliance with the National Defense Act. At present the batallion selects a rifle team and a drill team to re-present it and the batallion also competes in the seini-annual Federal Inspections. ln the picture at the left, the cadet officers and the instruct- ors are shown. They are, from left to right, Sgt, Instructor Elmer McCoy, Lt. Colonel Ralph Soderbera, W'47, Sat. ln' structors Thomas Vlfithrow, lame-s Baldwin, and lames Law- son, and Lt.

The fire roared, cmd the people ran to the lakes and there they were boiled They stayed in the city, there they were baked. Nowhere could one go to escape the greedy flame, No one, nothing was immune from its unauenchable appetite, All withered under its heat, nothing escaped.

Though ashes are usually mute things, These were able to cry outl There is no distinction in death, as there is no distinction in life, they cried. Those that do exist, exist only in the crude minds of some men. Show these men the city that burned! Tell them that a Iew screamed just as loudly when the flame ate his skin as did the Christian. Show them that the ashes of the Church are indistinguishable from those scattered about the ground where once stood a Synagogue. Tell them that there is no distinction, so that those who live may know.

Highl This has been the motto adopted by the hard-working journalism students devoting themselves exclusively to the make-up of the '47 Annual. The Annual staff has vowed that this semester's edition would revert back to the style of Annuals long past, namely, inter- esting stories about the student body and faculty of Rome to blend in with the pictures presented. There have been numerous campaigns introduced during the semester with the express idea of spreading the word that the new Annual was on the way. A special assembly was held for those who had purchased Annual tickets, with Mrs, Florence McFadden lending invaluable assistance to insure its success. Excellent entertainment was presented in the form of piano playing by Harry Fields, maestro of the 88. This assembly was the direct result of the hard work performed by Mr. Beardsley's salesmanship classes in the selling of the Annual tickets. But while these campaigns may have been glamorous, the actual preparation of the Annual has been far from easy. Writing entertaining and authoritative stories which can be referred to for years to come is never an easy job. But if this Annual realizes the staffs aim-to provide the students of LA. High with stories and pictures of their teachers and classmates so that they will always remember their high school days-no effort could be too much. mvgvf-1 ,..-1 fi . .tg K Ei I E Mrs. Marguerite Ornitz Annual Art Class at Work Annual Art Sponsor Extreme right.

This is what the class of W'47 will remember for an eternity following their graduation. l-low could they possibly forget the exciting and tense moments of the traditional Senior A and B contest, or the antics of Philo Chambers, and the tooting of Mr, Kaplankz fabulous horn as he blew them on to victory in the Senior A and B quiz-or the long-awaited Senior prom and break' fast made so successful by their able sponsor, Miss Inez Hodge, and their president, Ronald Barnett? Even as Bl2's. they had many exciting and precious mo- ments, climaxed by the Circus party, which included swimming, dancing, dinner and the best in entertainment and was enjoyed by all the members of the class Among these students were six Ephebians and fifteen other members who reached the envied heights of being CSFS. lt is this class that inaugurated the system of pre-enrollment of Senior A's, enabling them to assist the teachers with sign- ing up the remaining students, and therefore relieving some of the congestion and tenseness found on enrollment day. Their Senior sweaters and pins proudly bore the green and white emblems which constantly made them known to other Romans. Having presented their Alma Mater with a bulletin board to be used and seen by all LA, students, present and future the Senior Class of Winter '47 lifted high their heads, and with lips smiling with thoughts of the future, and eyes gleaming with pleasant memories, they passed through the portals which so shortly before had welcomed them LA.

Mrs. Eleanor B. Allen, a member ol the Board ol Education and guest speaker at the Winter '47 commence- ment exercises, is shown above, pre- senting lack Alexander, student body president, with his diploma, while Mr. Claude Reeves, principal, and lack's lellow class members look on, At the upper right are pictured Bob Lancet and Scott Macdonald who were selected King and Queen of the Winter '47 Class at the Senior A break- last, Shown with them is Ronny Bar- nett, class president. Also at the break- last, the class will was read, and the entertainment presented was enjoyed by all. The Summer '47 class had its Senior A carnival, which took the place of the breakfast. At the lower right are shown the Senior A's receiving their Star and Crescent pins at the Star and Crescent assembly, at which they were made members of the alumni association, The misty odor ot gardenias envelopes Rome throughout this glorious day, as every girl graduate receives a corsage and every boy a boutonniere. enior ven fri A 6 5,217 .gznior Uhcerri jlllllny p0g2l'.4, Pregideni Corinne gznjamin, Vice-President Seniors come and seniors go, but the Class of S'47 will forever stand out, shining above the rest, in the hearts of its members. Yet, the alma mater will not forget it either, During the three years that the students roamed through the halls and over the grounds, their school and class spirit never lagged. Their interest in school problems and govern- ment was constantly being proved by their participation in all events and affairs. A class with such an outstanding rate of scholarship as theirs would find it difficult to fail in leadership. Out of 554 members, half of them had a B average or betterg one-third of the 187 Pericleans were of this class. 41 students applied for Ephebianship as Pre-Ephebians, with l5 being chosen for the honor. A number of new ideas was also put into effect by the S'47 graduates, The Park Commission, headed by Wally Gayner, proved the key to Senior Park control. Another project, gaining many favorable comments, was the Senior A Carnival. This event consisted of tournaments, sideeshows, a vaudeville show, circus music, Iapanese lan- terns, hot dogs, dancing, and numerous other fun providers. While still Senior B's, the class presented the unfortunate members of Iuvenile Hall School a Christmas talent show, along with 5106.33 contributed by the class. They also had a Christmas party, with Mr. Richard Iennings playing the jolly old St. Nick. L.A. High is proud to have claimed these students, and-in sending them out into the turmoil of the world, it utters a silent prayer that these sons and daughters of America will help to build a freer and brighter world-a world where peace and unity are the by-words among students and adults of all nations. gamifk Mick Secretary Dave lgodenhefci Star and Crescent President .yaf.MCAL0l'Il, Treasurer 774115. guna Evanb, Senior A Sponsor Gabriel Abdolnour, Ianice Abraham.

The small boy walked up the stairsp and, like most children, he found the need to put his grimy hands on the white walls. He went to his room. fell on the bed and began pull- ing out the white tutts that dotted the spread, He soon had a spot about five inches wide without a single white dot, Fearing to pull any more, he turned over and gazed at the ceiling. Thoughtless. habit of being thoughtless, she had said, He didn't mean to be thought- less. lamie began to think back over the conversation with his mother. Why did she say he made her extra work? Didn't she want him? Didn't most boys make work? He heard footsteps on the stairs. The door to his room opened and his mother came in. She sat down on the bed beside him. She wore a blue dress. l-ie liked her in blue. She didn't look like a mother who had to work hard for her son. She reached out her small hand and moved his feet over the side ot the bed. There were two brownish smudges where his shoes had been. lamie, that's one of the things I mean. Did you know that it takes almost forty-tive minutes to wash and iron this spread, while it takes you only a minute to get it dirty? Iamie tried to brush the spot from the spread but it only grew worse. He looked at the rug and traced the design with his toe. I don't mean to do them, mother. I know, dear. She pushed his hair back with her hand. But don't you think you could remember if you tried? Yes, Ma'm. A group of small boys yelled from the trout yard. lainie started toward the window, then he remembered his punishment. You may go, Iamie. He hurried downstairs.

Philomathian, the oldest existing club at l...A., strives to encourage creative literary talent, to develop a spirit of cooperation and service in club and school activities, and to foster lasting friendships. Started in 1922 to foster an appreciation for literature, Philomathian derived its name from the Greek, and means lovers of learning. There are three traditional social events, coming at different times in the term: the Affiliation Banquet, Mothers' Tea, and the Senior Spread. The Affiliation Banquet is given in honor of the Baby Philos or the girls accepted into the club that term, and a dinner, followed by a program suited to the chosen theme, precedes the formal candlelight service. During the middle of each term, invitations are sent to the Philo mothers to attend an informal tea. At this time, as at the Affiliation Banquet and the Senior Spread that takes place shortly before graduation, a spirit of friendliness prevails. Senior Spread is the most mem- orable occasion of all, for then, the club must say good-bye to its seniors and welcome in the new officers. Officers for the Spring term were: president, Maria Ostrom, vice-president, Eva Lewy, secretary, Shirley Dickenson, treasurer, Lillian Naruse, sergeant-at-arms, Marjorie Dace. Officers for the Fall term were: president, Connie Dunscomb, viceepresident, Ieannie Bennett, secretary, Pat Hutchins, treasurer, Eva Lewy, and sergeant-at-arms, Scott Mac- donald. Brush and Quill strives to make Rome a more creative art-and-literary-minded school. Under Miss Ruth Edwards' sponsorship, with a standing membership of thirty-five, Brush and Ouill wound up the S'47 term's activities with a combination Senior Spread and Installation banquet. Other term projects have been: Open Meeting, Affiliation Banquet, first regular meeting, Mothers' and Daughters' Tea, plus playing a big part in Rome-'s clean-up campaign. In order to join the club, a girl must be gifted in either art or literature, and at the time of tryouts, she must present a sample of her handiwork for approval by the majority of the club. If accepted, she must complete three projects during her first term in order to earn her pin.

The first is to orientate the B10 girls to L.A. High. The second is to familiarize the members with other school clubs. The third is to provide social activities and a chance to become acquainted with B10 girls from other junior highs. Adelphians have four open meetings at the beginning of each semester and BlO's meet student officers in an informal manner. The girls learn school yells and songs at these meetings. Mrs. Edna Evans, who is the social coordinator, presents a survey of school clubs. Programs during the semester are provided by four committees: Art, Drama, Music and Hospitality. These committees also work on holiday parties. The biggest event, with all active members participating, is the Mothers' and Daughters' Tea. Officers for the fall semester were: president, Ioanne Herbst, vice-president, Suzie Allen, secretary, Audrey Catreng historian, Louise Louie, senior sponsor, Ieanette Bennett. Officers of the spring semester Were: president, Ioan Broderp vice-president, Marlene Coggan, secretary, Pat Hatch, historian, Rosetta Iacobs, and senior sponsor, Marian Asa- doorian.

With advancement of creative ability as their purpose, and friendliness their motto, the artistically possessed members have participated in many gay activities, under the able leadership of Miss Martha Krogmann, sponsor. Some of the functions last term were the open meeting, mothers' tea, and senior spread. During the clean-up drive this semester, Palladians proved their talent lay not only in such things as drama, art, and music, but in picking up papers, for they were the proud winners.

This year, the Philharmonic Club has no doubt sponsored some of the most enjoyable programs of music on wax in its entire career, Pops music and familiar melodies from the cinema and hit musicals have comprised rnost of the rioontime musicales. Besides presenting relaxing programs for the student body every Tuesday noon, the club has witnessed rehearsals of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, had pictures taken with Alfred Wallenstein, permanent conductor and director of the orchestra, and attended all-city-schools Philharmonic meetings under the auspices of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Society. The members have also participated in such social events as the two semi-annual teas and their first annual picnic, held in Griffith Park. Officers of the society are Lora Rodman, president, Ioyce Powell, vice-president, and four-semester member Libby Labovitch, who holds the combined role of secretary-treasurer, Through the fine work done by the members and their sponsor, Miss Ina Davids, the club has finally earned the prestige that it deserves. uralom cience Established in l9tl5. the Los Angeles High School museums are still open to the students br-cause of the work done by the Curator Club. founded in S'45 by Mrs. Wilma Harper, zoology teacher. Originally the club was associated with the Los Angeles Museum luniors at the County Museum, but now it is an independent organization. Such things as field trips, projects, and occasional parties are planned at the weekly meetings, Many of the members' noon periods are spent doing the various tasks necessary for fulfilling their primary purpose of keeping the museums open for the use of the students and teachers. The officers are: Vera von Block, president, Lynne Hayes, secretary, lack Blumberg, treasurer, lean Mills, head of l39, lohn Rees, head of 120. Under the leadership of Robert Smith, president, Sid Kaufman, vice-president, Peter Hullock, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. R. Miller, sponsor, the Science Club functions smoothly with astronomy, chemistry, sound, electricity, and physics as the main fields in which the club members participate. Interest is held in the club by various lectures, demonstrations, and movies presented by the club members themselves. This organization is one of the older clubs of the school and so has a history both of length and of achievement. Therefore, since the club is an organization of such long stand- ing, much can be expected from its activities that is of interest to science-minded students. Other groups not pictured: Camera Club.

Rome, as she is called by the proud populace who have occupied her desks and used her texts, who have walked on her campus and played on her fields. Rome has stood for many things in our young lives. She has educated and matured us into young adults and now she has graduated us into the world-to introduce to us the conflicts and opportunities which are awaiting us. We are ready . . . We are ready to move ahead and mold our future, each to his own preference. Some of us will do great things, the others will do things of lesser importance, but all will release their youthful exuberance and initiative into a healthy energy which will supply our hungry appetite for ambition. We do not see or know just what we face, but we shall see it through the eyes of the young, with wonder at the promise of a rich life. Wefhave been entrusted with some important questions, will we be able to find the answers? How about the A-bomb? Will we have to fight again?

We grew up loving the wild wind calling, The wild Waves lashing the rocks by the sea. And one cold evening the wind called loudly- Louder and clearer than ever before- And wild waves answered and echoed the challenge As we walked silently, close to the shore. And because we were young, we stopped and we listened The wind was shouting Be free! Be free? We heard the cry grow faint in the distance Until it was drowned by the roar of the sea. There, with the ice-spray stinging our faces, We made a vow, my brother and I, That we would conquer the roaring ocean, That we would answer the wild wind's cry. We made a vow and sealed it by moonlight, Dipping our hands in the cold, silver foam. The waves were beating, the waves were crashing- So we didn't hear them calling us home. We didn't hear till they came and found us, And pulled us up and dragged us away. Their faces were frozen and white and angry. We tried to tell them-but what could we say? They reached a decision that night- Two young children Can't grow up undisciplined, liie a wild beast. They sent Davey off to learn a profession, .And I went away to a school in the East. The place I was sent to was pleasant and proper, They worked hard at making a lady of me. Time passed, and the cry of the wind came more faintly I listened ho more for the call of the sea. I The wind is an echo now, locked away, sleeping With ghosts of dead laughter and young, vanished tears. Likes the wild waves that roll ever restlessly shoreward, Myldreams all have shattered against the cold years. Yet because I have failed must I cry'with the others That Youth fights a battle which cannot be won, That though-the wind calls, it must never be answered, Thdt no ortelcan do what has never been done? dh, Youth be wild, wild and strong as the breakers- fightffor atuture' when dreams will not die, Wheremen can be'fiee to conquer the ocean 'Artarfoxklow forever thewild .wind's Cry.

Pigskin Points It was a long, hard road for the Romans this season. In their first campaign under Coach Lefty Goodhue, the LA. footballers finished their two practice games with one win and one tie, and their regular league session without a victory. Opening the season with a bang, LA. dropped a favorite Fairfax eleven by a 7-6 score, by far the locals' best showing of the season. Then, in their final tune-up tussle, the Pioneers played to a rugged O-U deadlock, again in the underdog role, with the Wolves from Van Nuys. lt was all a downhill battle from there on. Trekking to Pathfinderville, the Blue and White Men lost to the eventual league champs, Fremont, 27-13, and while still on the road the following week, lost to Washington by a lop-sided 31-U count. ln their first home appearance, Home met lefferson, and at the end of the half, when ahead 7-6, LA. looked as if she might break into the good side of the ledger. But the inspired SQ' Democrats came out and scored four T.D.'s to win 34-7. After dropping their fourth straight to Manual, l8'l2, the Romans ended the season on the short end of a 28-O score with Roose- velt. The bright light of the season was the spectacular and inspiring play of Captain Spencer lianief, who at the fieasotis end was awarded firstfteam league and city honors. it gr' gr-Q wa, QQ wry? iissfrss i X BEE FOOTBALL When the season opened, the prospects looked none too bright for the Lightics of Rome this year, with only two monogrammers returning to brace Coach Albert Hemsaths gridiron crew. But the surprising locals crossed everybody up by dropping only one decision, while sweeping through six opponents unmarred and winning the Southern League title. ln their first practice tussle, the Romans downed a favorite Fairfax eleven, 19-U. Then, led by Buddy Gross, who scored three touchdowns and performed brilliantly on defense, LA. spanked Van Nuys, which during the regular league season was undefeated and unscored upon, 25-13. Fremont opposed LA, in the first league game and returned to Pathfinderville with a 13 7 defeat in its pocket. Next on the agenda was Washington, and the small fry handed them a 20-l2 loss for the Romans' lone two-touchdown win of the season. In the championship clash of the year, LA, dethroned last year's champs, Iefferzson. 7-O, in a tough game that wasn't decided until the last minute of play, when Ioe Ftuccione made a spectacular catch of Guy Maggio's 12-yard flip. lt then happened, Manual Arts' winless Bees visited Housh Field and eked out a fluke 2-O win for the locals' only setback. Needing a victory against Roosevelt to capture the league bunting, the Bees took the field and after trailing 5-U three-quarters of the game, Quarterback Guy Maggie streaked over the goal from the two-yard stripe and then passed to Ierry Rudleson for the extra and championship point.

For the locals it was plainly a case of over-confidence as the boys of Howard Provan hadnt shown much in practice and Horace Bresee's charges had come out on the long end of five out of eight non-league tussles. With a rocky road barring them from the top of the heap, the Pioneers began to roll by whipping a stubborn Wash- ington five, 29-24. The Generals were playing without their sterling forward, Ierry Norman, and lacked the spark to overcome the narrow lead that the homebreds held through- out. One of the features of the tiff was the under-the-basket work of Don Mallot, who dropped in 11, to top Iimmy Iacobs' total by one. With All-Loop Bill Maupin in the lead, the Fremont Path- finders were next to challenge Los Angeles' supremacy. Fiery Bill was bottled up and held to a hall dozen points as his teammates went down to defeat, 30-21. For the home five, loel Fischer went on a spree, knocked off 15 counters and assumed his place among the top league scorers. Minus the services of Forward limmy Iacobs, the Roman quintet played a sparkling first half to lead the Champion Manual Artisans at the midway mark. But in the stretch the shots of Sub-Center Al Wearda broke the backs of the Breseemen. and the top scoring effort by Captain Fischer, of 11 points, went for naught. The hapless Roughriders supplied the opposition in the last game of the first round as a high-powered Roman team swept to a lopsided 44-27 victory. In the first half, Ioel Fischer bucketed 15 to spark a five that seemed to score at will. With blood in their eyes, the second-place Pioneers jour- neyed to leff's crackerbox gym in search of revenge. Fischer's 13 digits and Tom lrlodgins' 12 led the onslaught as the Demos lost a clean-cut decision, 45-38. The victory enabled the Romans to remain in contention for the gonfalon and to hold on to their fine defensive record in spite of the 38 counters rung up by the losers. With the Roman basketeers' looking forward to their pos- sible title-deciding game with Manual Arts, the Generals of Washington took the wind out of L.A.'s sails with a surprise 31-25 win. With loel Fischer playing very little because of the flu, Don Killian assumed high point honors with eight. Bill Maupin made up for his previous performance against the Pioneers by thoroughly demoralizing them with impos- sible shots and a world of hustle, as the Pathfinders handed the locals their fourth and last loop setback, 31-21, With their last chance at a portion of the pennant pie gone, ll. Bresee's casaba contingent whaled the previously un- defeated Toilers in a ding-dong tilt that never saw one team ahead by more than four points until the final gun gave the game to the homebreds, by 37-32. Chan Mahoney hooped 18 to lead Romans Stan Scher and Bill Morris to the wire for top man, Little can be said of the final game, in which Roosevelt tasted defeat for the last time, 35-21, The Roughies never were close enough to threaten as Fischer returned to form and rang up an even ten, to run his total to 100 for the year.

Cinder Dust Although the outlook for a successful season had been dim, Rorrte's varsity spikemen enjoyed a good year, proving themselves one of the top dual meet outfits in the city. A trio of top-notchers stood out in the sprints, Bud Clifford, Bob Pemberton and Paul Holuboff the potent three. Clifford cmd Holuboff were consistent at lU.2s, while Pemberton and Clifford stopped the watches at 22.6s in the fur- long. Len Laudenback and Floyd Parks were outstanding quarter-milers. Len raced to a 5l.4s in his first meet, while Parks was always in the low 52's. The 880 chores were well handled by Ward Lewis, Bob Simpson and Don Killian, all of whom were consistent under 2:08. In the mile, Shel Gollin, Hank Camacho and Dick Porter proved to be among the league's best for the four-lap event. Gollin's best was in the low 4:4O's, and the others were hot on his tail. In hurdles, Iack Bessolo was the out- standing performer, his first effort being l5.Zs, to equal the Los Angeles-Fairfax meet standard. Al Scott, Bob Burks and Bill Reid also performed admirably. Field events were stronger than aver- age. The shot-putting of Spence Hanief was particularly gratifying, well over 47 feet throughout the season. Bill Fimpler and Iohn Rye also boosted the bulb. Pole-vaulting chores were han- dled by Iim Payton, Ray Reynolds and Dan Eliopoulos. Payton's best mark was over ll feet. lim Wilhoite and john Hiss were the local high jumpers, and garnered many valuable points for the Roman cause. The broad jump was the weakest of the field events, with only Iohn Magallon clearing 20 feet. Getting off to a slow start, the mile baton-passing octet finished the season with good time. Those who participated in this event during the term included Bud Clifford, Floyd Parks, Ward Lewis, Stan Scher, Iohn Hiss, Bob Simpson, Bill Duanetz, Bob Pemberton, Len Lauden- back, and Paul Holuboff. ' A TENNIS Again L.A. had one of the top tennis teams in the city this year, led by Tommy Cook, fourth ranking junior in Los Angeles, and Homes standout first singles man. Backing up Cook was Bob Reordan. surprising tenth grader, who can really go places in his remaining two years at LA. Perhaps the most improved player on the squad was third singles man ferry Stern, who provided Rome with many a victory this campaign. Moving up from doubles to the fourth spot this year was Letterman Ed Malone, who possesses one of the hard- est serves on the team, while playing in the fifth and final singles position was another monogrammer, steady, dependable Norm Adams, Backing up these boys were the two doubles duos, Don Getz and Max Ber- man, Howard Walter and Pat Waddell, while Lou Sackin was a capable re- placement.

Preparing this article has been a harder task than one might think, for Homes 1947 Bee track team was a star-studded aggregation if ever there was one. Every event was filled with talent which was put to good use. Needless to say, it is impossible to mention every member of the teamg but the most prominent should be so honored. Leading the locals to victory was Timber-topper Bill Beaver, whose fine abilities found him bouncing over the high and low hurdles in the lead of the other six performers, but usually followed closely by Tony Kilfe and Val Clevenger. Another outstanding cindermidget was George Magallon, whose all-around talent brought him crowning glory in the 660 and probably could have seen him do the same in any running event on the oval. Leading the way in field events were Ed Scott, a most excellent high jumper, and Ieff MacRae, broad jumper de luxe.
