Our comparison we believe is a plausible one. Those who study closely the habits of fish can easily see how they resemble human beings in many ways. They travel in schools-the small fish in one school, the larger ones in another, and the largest in still another. Some people are gullible and easily duped, quickly caught on hooks. Some are sly and wary, caught with difficulty after a long search. The personalities of human beings are not unlike the personalities of fish. Some are gay and happy like trout, some are playful like dolphins, some are cruel like swordfish, others are aimless like jellyfish, or courageous like salmon. For our purposes the Seniors have been compared to whales. The Juniors, who are next in line, have been classed with sharks. The Sophomores and Freshmen we thought of as trout and minnows Since we consider ourselves faster moving creatures than the Junior l-ligh pupils, we have considered them as turtles. Superficial resemblances like these are easy to con- iure, and are perhaps unworthy of long consideration. What we think pleasurable is the contemplation of the variability of all natures-whether of fish or of people. We hope you can imagine with us as you read the pages of this book.

All those going down to see the wonders of the deep, please get insi e. I was so excited that I could hardly think. And why shouldn't I be? After all, one doesn't go for a submarine ride every day. As I entered into the submarine, I received the surprise of my life. The captain was Merle Beebe, an ex-classmate of mine from Maricopa High. I-Ie greeted me warmly, and then called two of his assistants to his side. They were none other than Carlos Carter and Theodore Follis, two more of my ex-classmates. After talking with them for a few minutes, I hur- ried to my seat, as it was almost time for the submarine to submerge, In my excite- ment l bumped into a dark, beautifully dressed young woman, causing her to drop her purse. Oh, I beg your pardon! I am so-I-lelen Bailey! What in the world are you doing here ! I exclaimed. Why, didn't you know? she asked, flashing me a smile. All the members of the class of '37 are here for a reunion I And sure enough-I looked around to see all my old classmates grinning at me. Come and join us! they cried. Each one is going to tell his experiences since the night of graduation, As the theme of our yearbook was the Underseas in our senior year, we decided this would be a very appropriate place for a 'get- together.' Agnes Deaton was the first to begin. She said that after a whirlwind courtship, she had married Tobert Raylor, a well-known movie actor and was now residing in I-lollywood. - Yes, said Mary Devine, when Agnes had finished, l know all about that ro- mance. I covered it for the Hollywood Stars magazine. Well ! said Kenneth Dudley. My career also has something to do with stars, I am an astrologist. With the aid of my worthy assistant, Vernon I-lelms, who, I am sorry to say, is unable to be here because of business matters, l expect to reveal an- other planet, which I have named the Whaletonf' Bravo! Bravo! shouted Charles I-Ieath, Keep right on with your good work, Ken, and if you ever need a good financial backer, just call on me as I own a string of the finest race horses in the United States, Why, you're the owner of Atlasthewone, the horse that I won on at Sanita Ann the other day, announced Sylvia I-Iosking who was now a very active society woman. I do a little betting on the races, myself, said Benson lngraham. l can afford to lose, now and then, as my orange ranches have been bringing in pretty big profits. You aren't, by any chance, speaking of Sungold oranges-are you? asked Bill Johnston. - Why, yes. That's our brand, replied Benson. We buy hundreds of boxes of Sungold oranges every Christmas for our students at Johnston's School For Boys, said Bill, swelling a little with pride. Why, Bill, if I had known you owned that school, I would have sent my twins there! exclaimed Clara Kincaid. Twins! we all chorused. Come on, Clara, tell us more about yourself Well, Clara said, blushing as she spoke, there isn't much to tell, except that I am married to a Ford V-8 salesman, and we have twin boys named Marian and John. The girl who had been sitting quietly beside Clara was the next to speak. l am an actress, said Alta Mae Kinkade very dramatically My rame on the stage is Tamae Kin, and I want to be left alone. She again relapsed into silence. Page Thirteen Page Fourteen Well, fellow classmates, you are now gazing upon Mlle. Marie Lytell the most noted dressmaker of the time! declared smartly dressed Mary Lytle. And no sooner had this burst on our ears than we were startled by another cry. Yippee! Ki! Yi! announced Mary Mann. l'm a cowgirl from Texas! And she did, indeed, look the part with her chaps, boots, five-gallon hat, in fact, everything but the horse. Our attention was now drawn to Betty and Alice Newman, who were sitting next to our Texas cowgirl. Or were they Alice and Betty Newman? Let me tell them, sis, begged Alice. No I will ! exclaimed Bett . We are ersonal secretaries for Alex and Allen 1, H P Tellus, twin owners of the Lovelorn Agency. That's the agency that helped me find the girl of my dreams, said Joffre Reyes. We are now living on my cattle ranch in the Dyama Valley. And that's also the agency that helped me patch up my quarrel with 'Mimi,' my old school flame, remarked Donald Ricker, who was now a very successful motjon picture director. This information was imparted to me by Margaret Sheppard, a very devoted wife and mother in Maricopa. The next two girls to tell of their adventures were Cla.a Sims and Frances Thomas. They said they had just returned from Japan where they had won world- wide honors in a series of tennis tournaments. ' l had the pleasure of attending a few of your tournaments, Grcver Thornton announced. l was in Japan collecting material for my latest book on 'How to Grow japanese Plants in Tour Own Back Tardf While I didn't have the honor of attending your tournaments in person, re- marked l-larold Throop, l sent one of my sport writers over to get the exclusive story for my newspaper Throopk Dirt-slingerf' lt's your turn next! demanded all my school friends as Harold ceased speaking. lt won't take long to tell what l have to say, l replied. l work as a stenog- rapher for the Flywithuss Airlines. And I am a pilot for the same airline, came from Donald Weaver, now known as Daredevil Peewee. lt's your turn, Olive, we all said as Donald finished. My husband, Olive White said, is owner of a famous opera house where l was singing when I met him. Glenna Belle Wilharber, who was the only one left to relate her experiences be- gan to talk. You have all probably heard me over the radio, but you just didn't recognize my voice. l am Dede Bella, a blues singer on the Sobawhile l-lour. We had all been so busy talking that we had failed to notice what was going on around us. But now our attention was attracted to the many peculiar fish and beauti- fully colored sea plants that inhabited the floor of the ocean. After enjoying these sights for awhile, we began to emerge, and we soon found ourselves back on land once more, bidding each other farewell.

Our class of sharks was busy swimming through the regular exercises of adjusting specs, signing cards, and sharpening pen- cils. There was much talk and ioyous laughter, everybody was in a happy mood and old friendships were renewed. All had had a delightful vacation, and now we were off on another tour of kifowl- edge, With mighty strides we swam through the masses of sea weeds and other obf stacles. We stopped now and then to relax and to enioy a party, but were soon back in the tour, plowing through foam and white caps Gur first relaxation came when the Trout gave the lvlinnows a party, and everybody was invited to dance Proving that a storm follows a calm, we were rushed into a terrific storm, Many of us were pretty worried, but when the angry sea had calmed again, everybody was anxious to see if the ink on his report card matched the color of the beautiful water. Following this we sank back into the depths, striving to gain every bit of information, until at last Christmas vacation came, The vacation helped us a lot, for the way is long and many of us had become weary and were paddling along to the tune of .45lI'l'f1 in Ihr' Drvfl. More fun arrived, and this time it was in the form of, Thr- Pom' Fzivli, a fun packed comedy that was full of many clever iokes, Our large cast had loads of fun putting the play on, and everyone got a big laugh out of it As soon as the play was over, we swam right into the Junior Proms Soft music, low voices, and laughter were heard, and everyone danced Black clouds, flashes of lightning, roaring of thunder-have you guessed what it was? You're right-another storm, this time in the form of final exams We were tossed about somewhat and carried by the strong current, but our class came throtgh still gliding with a strong even stride CLARENCE SOLENBERCER Page Seventeen Page Eighteen Luzior Over hill and Dale rode the Miller with his Burroughs. After reaching the ranch where the hill Billylsl were having a Rupp snortin' old time B'andon their Seale on their cattle, the Miller noticed that a scratch from a Bush was giving him great Payne. Accordingly he called to his Nabers, Dick in son, for first aid. Say, that cut sure is Rosser, was the reply from one of them. The only remedy I c'n suggest for you to take is a Can a dees lKennedysl Green Flakes Daily. After the Miller was tended to, they noticed a cloud of dust coming their way. Hush-aw it's the Bayer in his new White Hudson who is here for the auctioneering of the cattle in that pen over there. Soon the crowd was around the pen. The auctioneer began. One Mann shouted, l'll give you titty-six for herl Another yelled, Walker around so I can See her. Well, now, l'll bid sixty dollars. Gee, that cow certainly is Rankin high, protested one of McKinzie's folks. Finally all the cattle were sold and the Bayer loaded his beef on to the Kahler and headed towards Maricopa. As he was going through the camp, one of Mack's kids said to his pal, l-lenri-ci that wind-Shieldisl l Let's see it we can hit it, Crack! Bang went the glass of the Shieldlsl all over the Bayer and Dower. Dower helpfully suggested, l-lere's a station. Let's stop and get the damage repaired. When the car had stopped the Bayer got out to look around. Say, he murmured, there isn't a Solen-lthisl-berglerl. Or is everyone just sleeping? Get out of here l shouted an old granny who was Munding her fsrnily's socks. l am listening to Malter Mitchell on how to make Money and l Vaughn to be alone So be gone!

She fin- ally succeeded, and we began our steady swim upstream. All grouping together, we made plans to give our minor fellow fish, the minnows, a reception, For this we stopped our tourney, as it took many hours of toilsome work to set the bait for the minnows. Our point was to show the minnows a gay time, but also to teach them their position in our fish organization. First, games were played and then we flashed to the Coral Reef, where we enjoyed seaweed, the refreshments. We then continued our steadfast swim up the roaring waters, after a pleasant time was reported by everyone, As we ventured along, we soon came to the first big event of the New Year, in other words, the Minnows' Capers llfreshman Frolicl, The minnows proved themselves equal to former minnow classes by returning the compliment they received when the trout entertained the minnows, The entertainment consisted of musical numbers by the members of the minnow school, and an excellent play, given by the minnows. As the trout school, looking for further dversion, slowly wandered along the reefs, we heard the voice of Professor Trout summoning us to a party for our school of trout. Many interesting and amusing games were played, after which we paddled over to our favorite Coral Reef to find some food for our starving school. After stuffing themselves with salmon balls and flies, the entire trout school trcoped over to the Sand Bar lAuditoriuml where an evening of dancing was enjoyed by all. We again turned ourselves upstream to continue our year's expedition Proving that there are many brilliant trout, several of the members succeeded in securing coveted positions in the California Scholarship Federation, As we look back over the waning year, we can not help being grateful for the excellent supervision our Professor Trout, lvliss Rider, has given us, and the wonderful time we have had striving to swim the deep blue ocean, GERALD AGEE DORIS DEVINE Page Twenty one I I affer p iz Name Description Famous Last Words Ultimately Gerald Agee .

Joftre Reyes As September turns to June, Frosh turn to Sophs, Sophs turn to Juniors, Juniors turn to Seniors, and the Seniors attempt to conquer the cruel world, another schcol year comes to a close and its events, too, must be recorded. The beginning of the year was greatly enlightened by a splendid group ot Fresh- men, who did their little bit to make the year successful. Athletics were fairly successful. The football team ended their schedule with county honors, The basketball material wasn't quite so good as it has been in pre- vious years, but even at that the boys went down swinging gamely, The usual Senior and Junior stage productions were held, and both were roundly applauded by the well pleased audiences. The school this year had a motion picture machine, and many educational and amusing pictures were enjoyed by the student body, Various organizations held their annual social functions which proved to be highly successful.

Plans were immediately made to initiate three more sharks as new members, The next event was the swim to the CSF Ccnverttion at Bakersfield. All members of the Royal Order of Fish from other schools were entertained with luncheon and a fine program ln October a special meeting was held for the awarding cf pns to all worthy fish members At Christmas they held their annual fcod drive for the less fortunate fish, The drive was very successful, After Christmas vacation, there were more fish to be initiated Initiation for one whale, one shark, and three trout was held in the PTA Club room, with Valentine decorations, games, and refreshments mak- ing the evening an unforgetable one for all The awarding of life membership pins to Kenneth Dud'ey and Muriel Varley was the purpose of the fish assembly held in March, The scheme of the assembly was an amateur hour The many skits and songs made the hour a huge success, almost, one might say, a howling success. Then the anticipation for the trip to San Mateo for the Central Region Conven' tion of Fish had all the whales, sharks, and trout swimming on air, ln April they swam to the Convention for two days, and all the fish enjoyed their trip immensely, At the climax of a very active, successful, and happy year, the members thank Miss Rogers for her friendly advice and help in all the events.

Viola Payre Boys' Quartet Robert Elissague John Miller Richard Eubanks David Munding Dear Father Neptune, Just a line to let you know how the Singing Fish of the underseas are coming along. Eight girls in the g'ee club started the year by swimming down to the Cham- ber of Commerce to sing. They had such fun that the members became encouraged, and so all of them sang several times during the year for the PTA., and for the Women's Club. One afternoon, in fact, the girls sang for Founders' Day program civen by the PTA. After the program, the mothers gave a tea which made many hungry fish look longingly at the table spread with goodies and many other tempting sights. Ohl My goodness, Father Neptunel l just about forgot our picnic we had at the beginning of the year. It was given at the foot of a hill, and the fish had quite a time darting in and out among the sand and weeds. In the second semester occurred our two main events. The first was a trip to an undersea city, often called Bakersfield by the people on sea level, The second was the performance of our operetta held on the night of our jamboree. Our Male Starfish Quartette started out by being a trio. When a new fish en- tered the school, the Starfish quickly snatched him up, changing the trio to a quartette. They sang at numerous places and were Quite popular, Their part in the Jamboree was one of the hits of the evening, Well, dear Father Neptune, it is getting late now, so I must close. Give my love to Mrs. Neptune and all the little Neptunes, and don't forget to get your long white beard cut.

On November l7, l936, the initiation was carried out. The new members wore their shirts and ties backward and carried dictionaries around school all day After school hours they were taken up town and made to do things that caused them much embarrassment. At night the older members finished the initia- tion by using some wooden paddles they had prepared especially for the occasion, and by forcing each new member to eat a raw oyster, and other good things to eat Everyone enjoyed the initation except l-larold Throop, John Mi 'e', Billy Brandon, Clyde Dower, Richard Eubanks, Benson lngraham, and Grover Thornton. They were the new members' Next on the Big lvl calendar was a picnic held on February 20, l937. There wasn't a boy present who didnlt enjoy himself.

Their leader, Miss Bray, was raising her sea weed baton. lt came down with the first blare of music. The graduation march had started, and the whales gracefully flopped between the two islands that served as seats. An old sunken battleship was the stage, and some friendly jelly fish were the curtains. Miss Tuna Fish and Miss Gold Fish, who handed the girl whales their bouquets of water ferns, were softly talking about the orchestra. From the first, Miss Tuna said, the orchestra gave a good impression. Miss Gold Fish, who always liked to add a word, put in, I can distinctly remem- ber their appearance, lt was November 22, for the annual Whale lSeniorl Play. Yes, and the time they played at the Masonic l-lall and in return got a well pre- pared turkey dinner, continued Miss Tuna. While we're discussing their performances, l wonder if you can remember the time they played for the Shark Uuniorl Play? Yes, I can remember that time and also the time when my cousin helped chap- eron them on their trip to Bakersfield, where all the bands, orchestras, and glee clubs of the county met. But hush, so we can hear the presenting of certificates to the graduates, BERNICE ALKIRE BETTY SMITH Page Twenty-nine gh Senior gnfay Splash! The Whales won the i936 academy award, November 20, with their hilarious play The Tin Hero. The comedy had a splendid cast who were as follows: Douglas Goodyear, a timid young man-Kenneth Dudley, Mrs. Blanche Coodyear, his mother-Mary Lytle, Virginia Ferguson, his fiancee-Agnes Deaton, Baxter Warner, the President of The l-lero's Club -William Johnston, Mrs. Baxter Warner, his wife-Frances Thomas, Bunny Wheeler, engaged to Crace-Donald Ricker, Annette Coverdale, the only female member of The Hero's Club -Muriel Varley, Adelaide Young, a friend of Grace's-Alta Mae Kincade, Victoria Esmand, a news- paper woman-Mary Devine, Mile, Claudette Bardoni, a young French woman- Helen Bailey, Spike Ryder, a champion swimmer-Grover Thornton. Mrs. Blanche Goodyear finds her son Douglas, upon his arrival home, caught in a whirlpool of exaggerated stories about his rescuing a French girl from drowning, while he was touring France. In order to become a member of the Hero's Club, Doug must swim against a champion swimmer, Not knowing how to swim a stroke, he finds himself in a very ticklish position, but with the aid of his sister, and during a period of disappearance, he learns to swim. ln the meantime Claudette Bardoni, the French girl, arrives in pursuit of Douglas but falls in love with Spike Ryder, the swimming champion. Douglas wins the race, gains admittance to the club, and as a special award wins Virginia as his wife. The most comic scene, and one which caused a great deal of hilarity, was the one in which Douglas was caught lying on a table going through the motions of swim- ming by Bunny Wheeler, who is doubtful of Doug's ability to swim. Success was due to the splendid cast under the direction of Mrs. Molloy and her assistant Sylvia l-loskin. The stage setting was complete to the smallest detail because of the help given by stage manager, Mary Mann, and her assistants, Olive White, Margaret Sheppard, and Clara Kincaid, aided by the property manager, Harold Throop and his assistants, Carlos Carter, Theodore Follis, and .loffre Reyes. Page Thirty Clue Junior Qufay The shark's play, The Poor Fish, was what one might call a four starfish play. The leading roles were played by Mildred l-lushaw, as Sue Bickford, and David Mund- ing, as the poor fish. The supporting cast was as follows: Florence Arlington, who runs the Rest Cure Sanitorium -Nadine Burroughs, Mariposa, the maid-Pat Daily, Margaret Matters, a patient-Maxine Rankin, Ella Shayne, who suffers from a num- ber of ailments-Shirley Flake, Warda Jewel, who is afraid of germs-Joan Brandon, Billy Bickford, Sue's brother-Tom Dickinson, Dr, Aubrey Nutt, the Door fish's pal- John Bayer, Francine Payton, a jilted bride-Stella Kennedy, Grace Fletcher, who meets with an accident-Pauline Mitchell, Lola Payne, an inventive young lady- Margaret Zimmerli, Justus Smith, a detective-Francis Rupp, Randall Chase, a wealthy man-Billy Brandon, Mrs. Sylvester Fish, who has a temper of her own- Lillian Walker, Sylvester Fish, Sr., her adoring husband-Clarence Solenberger. Sylvester Fish, the poor fish, failed to appear at the church on his wedding day, Friday the l3th, because of his superstitious nature. instead, he and his pal, Dr. Nutt, rode into the mountains to inspect a house that he thought belonged to him. Upon arriving they found it rented asa Rest Cure Sanitoriumf' The young girl, who arrived with her brother a few minutes later, also claimed the old house. The girl was mistaken for a nurse, and her brother for an orderly. The Rest Home had two patients, one a very nervous young woman and the other, an elderly lady with imaginary ailments. Sylvester's iilted bride appeared, and to make matters worse, there was an accident on the road below the house, and the injured lady had a letter in her bag addressed to Mrs. Sylvester Fish. The poor fish was in a muddle with his jilted bride, his supposed bride, and the girl he loved all in the same house. The maid further complicated things by making everybody believe that the place was an insane asylum. Three fugitives from a hotel fire sought refuge in the sanitorium and added to the entertainment. A detective entered and accused Sylvester of being a counterfeiter and discovered that the maid, Mariposa, was his wife. The climax was reached when Sylvester Fish, Sr,, appeared with his bride and began to straighten things out. One of the most amusing scenes was the one in which Billy Bickford was talking with the maid. When she turned her head, he drank the sleeping potion intended for a patient. The detective, the germ chaser, and the lady with the imaginary ail- ments added much to the merrirnent, The members of the Junior Class wish to thank Mrs. Molloy, director, and Viola Payne, assistant director, for their aid in making the play a success. Page Thirty one Page Thirty-two a labs Early in December an activity period was introduced into the regular schedule of classes in the high school. There had been a need lor such a period in order that classes and clubs might hold their meetings without interfering with regular classes, and in order that some students might find an opportunity to learn things or to 'tol- low interests tor which the regular curriculum made no provision. Accordingly, one period every Monday morning was arranged in which each student cculd engage in the work or amusement in which he was most interested. lt was duing this period that there originated the clubs whose activities are explained on the lollcwfng two pages. glue Sfory Adviser ......,.,. Miss Gihbs President . . . . . Doris Devine Vice President ........ Gerald Agee Secretary-Treasurer ....... Mary Devine One of the many activities now being participated in by the students of Maricopa High Schools is the Story Club, which was organized under the leader- ship of Miss Gibbs in the earlier part of the year. The object of the club is to secure interesting stories and to recite them for the benefit ot our members. When the club has been developed further, our ambition is to write our own stories and send them to various organizations to compete with others for prizes. There are many organizations especially for this purpose, and clubs such as our own are eligible to compete, We have had many hearty laughs from humorous stories and have enjoyed very much the other types of stories, At each meeting every member is called cn to tell his story and the members have cooperated splendidly. We wish to thank Miss Gibbs not only for her generosity in supervising our club, but also for the many stories she has provided for our benefit. We wish also to express our appreciation to Mr. Cookman for making our Story Club possible, as it has not only helped our speaking ability, but has given us more self-confidence and enjoyment at the same time. gba Qmmafic Adviser ......,... Mrs. Molloy President . . . .... Mary Lytle Vice President . . . . Glenna Belle Wilharber Secretary-Treasurer ....... Shirley Flake The Dramatic Club met once a month under the leadership of Mrs. Molloy. In their meetings the members discussed problems of the stage and screen, and some- times heard reviews of current movies. An opportunity was given to present short skits during the meetings to discover just what ability could be found among the members. A program was planned to be given at the end of the year. lnconspic- uous though some of the members might have been, who can say what may become of some ot the talent brought to light? ls it too impossible to imagine that Norman Kamp might be a movie director? And what will become of the acting ability of Shirley Flake, Stella Kennedy, Eugene Upton, and Clarence Solenberger? Che Qjersoizalify Adviser ,........, Mrs. Mol'oy President . . Muriel Varley Secretary ..,.,.,, Mildred l-lushaw The purpose of the Personality Club,'which was organized only this year, was to help the members develop their own personalities, Mrs. Molloy, who was unanimously chosen as the adviser, made an outline of the many things she thought the club would like to learn. Included in this outline were such things as how to act at home, in school, at the theater, and at a party Every member was always free to ask any questions concerning these subjccts. Despite the fact that this club was organized late in the year, and could meat only twice a month, it proved to be very popular. cuzcinq Adviser . ...... Miss l-lulrre President ......... Stella Kennedy The activities of the Dancing Club were constant and unchanging from the time of their organization until the late spring. Every Tuesday and Thursday, from twelve-thirty to one o'clock, the same scene was enacted in the schcol gymnasium. First, from the left hand door, would appear a small group of boys, chewing candy bars, and looking expectant. Secondly, from the right hand door, would appear a girl or two, chewing candy bars and smiling brightly. Then the teacher, who had been waiting all this time, would arise, put a record on the phonograph, and wait hopefully. A Fine Romance or The Way You Look Tonight or l've Got Rhythm would float through the room. Gradually-too gradually to suit the teacher -cautiously, and guardedly, the left hand congregation would move toward the right, and would request the pleasure of a dance. l-lalt-way through the session everything would be moving gayly. If you were a boy you could dance anyway you chose, You could dance casually like Billy l-lixon, or seriously like Vernon Helms, or gracefully like David Munding, or trickily like Bob Elissague, or youthfully like John Bayer. If you were a girl, you would, of course, be more adaptable, and you would dance all sorts of ways according to the manner of your partner. There were few interruptions during these proceedings. Sometimes Stella Kennedy would blow a police whistle and call out, The next will be an accumulation dance! or some- times the teacher would extort, XX!hat's the matter with you boys sitting here along the wall? Why don't you go over there and get yourselves some partners? One interruption never failed to adjourn all club members. That was, Did the bell ring? l don't know, did you hear it? Sure it rang! l-lurry up, you'll be late for class! Page Thirty three Page Thirty-four gb ing easofz Sepifember 14 fo June 4 Sept. 14. School started.

Maricopa Trounces Tehachapi 32-0 October 3-For their first league game of the season the Maricopa Indians trav- eled into the mountains to meet the Tehachapi eleven, In the first quarter the ln- dians scored two touchdowns on long passes. From that time on, the Maricopa boys walked all over Tehachapi, scoring additional touchdowns in the first, third, and fourth quarters, In the third period Maricopa recovered a fumble on the Tehachapi five yard line, Then Burroughs, the Indian's substitute quarterback, carried the ball over for a touchdown on an end run. I-Ielms, the Indian's shitty quarte back, and Bush, the powerful Maricopa halfback, were outstanding for their numerous runs and many good blocks, When the final gun was heard, the Indians had overwhelmed the Tehachapi eleven by a score of 32 to 0. Maricopa Holds McFarland 0-0 October IO-For their second league game of the season the Indians journeyed to McFarland to tangle with the Cougars, From the time of the initial kickoff until the final gun was heard both teams fought desperately, but the game ended in a deadlock. As the fourth quarter started, the Indians began a drive for the Cougar's goal line. Their advance ended on the McFarland five yard line, where the Indians lost the ball, The Cougars promptly punted, but the kick was bad, The Indians recezved the ball on about the thirty yard line, where they started another drive tor goal, This time their advance was stopped on the three yard line by the sounding of the gun ending the game, Maricopa Beats Shaffer 8-0 Gctober I7-Wiiidiiig up the first half of the football season, the Indians over- powered the Shatter Cardinals by a score of 8 to O. Twice in the first half of the game the Cards were in scoring territory, but both times the Indian line held, and Page Thirty seven the invaders were unable to score, The Indians began the second half with a bang by starting a march for a touchdown, but they were stopped on the seven yard line, where the Shafter eleven took possession of the ball. The Cards attempted to punt out of the danger zone, but Munding, the Indian's center, blocked the kick, and the ball bounced out of bounds beyond the end zone, this automatically gave Maricopa a safety. Late in the fourth quarter Maricopa started another drive for the goal, which took them to the ten yard line. From there, Ricker tcok the ball over for a touchdown on an end run. Thus the game ended, winding up the f'rst half of the season with Maricopa the victors by a score of 8 to O. Maricopa Overpowers Tehachapi 44-0 October 3l-Starting the second half of the season, the Indians met the Te- hachapi eleven on the local turf. As in the first game with the mountain boys, the score of this game was very one sided in Maricopa's favor. In addition to their ex- cellent offensive work the Indians showed firm defensive resistance, Throughout the entire game the visitors were held in their own territory, and they were never able to reach scoring territory. Frankie Bush was the outstanding man on the field, scor- ing eighteen points in addition to exhibiting fine defensive work. When the Indians were on the way to another touchdown, the final gun was heard, ending the game with Maricopa in the lead by a score of 44 to O, Maricopa Takes McFarland I3-0 November 7-In their second encounter with McFarland, Maricopa emerged vic- torious after a very hard fought game. The first touchdown was made in the first Quarter after a McFarland man had fumbled a punt, which the Indians recovered on the three yard line. During the next two quarters of the game neither team could gain many yards. Late in the last period, Ricker intercepted a pass on the thirty yard line and carried the ball over for a touchdown. When the final gun was heard, Mari- copa was in the lead by twelve points. Thus the Indians ended their next to the last game of the season leading the other teams in the Sierra league and maintaining their record of no points scored against them. Shaffer Trounces Indians 25-0 November I4-An undefeated Maricopa team traveled to Shafter for their last game of the season, Although the Indians fought hard throughout the game they were sadly defeated by twenty-five points. In the second quarter the Cardinals be- gan a drive for the Indian goal. Shatter advanced steadily until they reached the twenty yard line. From therethey put the ball over after an end run and a lateral pass. Then Maricopa started a drive for the Cardinal goal. The Indians advanced to the Shafter thirty yard line. A penalty was called, however, and the touchdown did not count. Shafter scored an additional touchdown in the third quarter and two more in the last period, Although this game was a sad defeat, it ended a very successful season for Maricopa. The Indians tied for the championship of the Sierra league and were not scored upon until the final game. This is the first time in the history of Maricopa football that we have had a championship team. Page Thirty eight G? G Q55 askeffaff A Class Wins First League Game December Il-The A class opened the season with a game with Shatter, which the Indians won by a scant two points. The A class this year was composed for the most part of experienced players from last year's A and B classes The Indians started off with a bang! They scored several baskets before the Shatter five could get started. Maricopa showed excellent defensive work in the first half by holding the Cardinals down to three points. The first half ended with the Indians in the lead by a score of IO to 3. The second half was somewhat different. Shatter brought the score up to an I I to ll tie at the third quarter, and the Indians began to Qet worried. But Maricopa forged into the lead again and kept it until the end of the game. The score at the end of the game was I9 to I7 in favor of the lndans. Rupp was high point man with eleven points to his credit. Maricopa Loses to McFarland in Tight Game December I8-The Maricopa varsity traveled to McFarland for their second con- ference oame of the season. The starting line-up was as fo'lows' Don Ricker and Grover Thornton as guardsg Rupp and Bush as forwardsg and Dudley in the center position, In the first ouarter Maricopa took the lead by a slight marging neverthe- less, at the end of the first half the Indians had a lead of six pcints, which they he'd until the third quarter when the Cougars tied the score. McFarland then gained a lead of five points which they held until late in the last quarter. The lndiars, then fighting like mad, tied the score at 26 to Z6 and maintained it until the end of the game. An over time period was played, and the Cougars were awarded a foul shot which they made iust before the Gun sounded, Dud'ey was hifih point man with IO points. The score at the end of the game was 26 to 27 in favor of McFarland, A Class Defeats Tehachapi 31 to 28 January 8-The Maricopa varsity went to Tehachapi for their third league oeme of the season. Th s game, like all the others played by the varsity, was very excitinn, Maricopa started this game at a very slow pace by allowino the rrountain boys to cet a lead of eight points by the end of the first quarter With the beginning of the l Page Thirty-nine Page Forty second period the Indians got busy and started making baskets. They brought the score up from 2 to lO at the end of the quarter to 20 to l9 in favor of the Indians at the half. With the beginning of the second half the A class started increasing their lead, and they were ahead by six points at the third quarter. The lndians were unable to score much in the last period, but their defense was good and they kept in the lead throughout the remainder of the game, which ended 3l to 28 in Maricopa's favor. Rupp was high point man for Maricopa, scoring ten points. Wasco Takes Varsity 24 to 8 January l5--Fresh from victories over Monrovia, Burbank and Tehachapi, the Maricopa varsity entered their tilt with the Wasco Tigers in high hopes of another victory. But they could not seem to get going, and the Wasco quintet went home with a one sided victory under their belts. The first quarter started off very evenly with both teams fighting hard but with neither team getting anywhere. The score at the end of the first period was 3 to 3, The second quarter was somewhat differ- ent in that Wasco scored several baskets, bringing the score up to I2 to 5 at the half. The Indians could not stop the Tigers in the second half, and the game ended with Wasco the victors by a score of 24 to 8. After losing this game, the A class had very little chance of wining a championship as we have had in the last three years. Maricopa Routs Shafter 23 to 18 January 22-The Maricopa varsity again defeated the Shafter Cardinals in an exciting battle on the local court. The game began rather slowly with each team feeling out the other. Then, led by Bush who was hitting the basket easily, the ln- dians took the lead. With their defense working smoothly and their offense clicking the Indians came out on top in the first half, leading by a score of l2 to 4. During the third quarter the Indians increased their lead and held the Cardinals down at the same time. lt looked like an easy victory until late in the last period when the hard fighting Shafter five started hitting the basket and brought the score up to two points below the lndian's tally. Shatter started their drive too late, however, and their last minute rally served only to give the crowd a thrill The score at the end of the game was 23 to l8 with the Maricopa Indians on top. Maricopa Taken by McFarland February l2-Playing their next to the last game of the season the Varsity met the McFarland Cougars for the second time, and the Indians were defeated again by a scant one point. Maricopa started the scoring in the first quarter and held the lead until the last quarter. At the end of the first period the Indians lead by about five points. But in the second quarter Maricopa's defense dropped off, and the Cougars brought the score up to l2 to ll in favor of the Indians. Throughout the third quarter Maricopa maintained their very slight lead. The last quarter started like the third, but when there were about ten seconds to go with the indians leading by one point, a McFarland man broke lose and scored a basket. Thus the game ended in favor of McFarland 22 to Zl, Varsity Takes Wasco in Tight Game February l9-For the last game of the season the Maricopa Indians traveled to Wasco with the idea of winning the game or going down fighting. Maricopa started the scoring with a basket early in the first quarter and held the lead throughout the game. The lndians, playing a strictly defensive game, were on top at the end of the first quarter with a score of 3 to O. With the second period the Tigers started to fight harder for baskets, but Maricopa, not to be outdone, fought twice as hard and came out on top at the half with a score of 9 to 6. ln the third quarter the ln- dians tightened their defense and Wasco was not able to score in the third quarter. Late in the last period the Tigers scored two baskets in succession and it looked for a while as though the game would be close. But the gun sounded before the Tigers could score again and Maricopa won the game I4 to ll. Although the varsity did not win a championship, this game with Wasco made up for all their defeats. 3 G ass askefeaff Maricopa Wins First League Game 24 to IO December ll-For the first league game of the season the Indians traveled to Shatter to meet the Cardinals. Although Maricopa won the game by a large margin the first guarter was very close Neither team scored a basket until late in the first period. With the beginning of the second guarter Maricopa started scoring, and the half ended with Maricopa in the lead by eight points, During the second half the Indians showed excellent defensive work, and also increased their lead, The Shatter B class fought desperately to score, but the Indians were impassable, Bar- roughs, Maricopa's fast forward, was high point man with seven points to his credit, l-lelms, the veteran Maricopa guard, was outstanding for his defensive work, ln spite of the fact that the B team did not have many experienced players it looked as if they had a good team and as if they would undoubtedly go far in the Sierra League. B Class Overpowers McFarland December IS-The B class played their second conference game with the Mc- Farland quintet on the latter's court The starting line-up was as follows' Burroughs and Bayers as forwards, Eubanks at center, and Helms and Weaver in the guard po- sitions After gaining a lead in the first guarter and holding it throughout the game the Indians came through in grand style. At the end of the first half Maricopa was in the lead by lO points, At the beginning of the third guarter the McFarland flve scored several baskets before Maricopa got started, But the Indians got busy and started making baskets one after the other, Bayer was high point man scoring ten points. The game ended with a score of 23 to ll in favor of Maricopa, Maricopa Trounces Tehachapi 44 to 23 January 8-The Indians traveled into the cold mountains for their third game of the season. The B class came through this game in their usual manner, defeating the mountain quintet by a score of 4-l to 23, The whole game was not so one sided for Maricopa, however, During the first guarter the Indians were getting used to the narrow floor and did not lead Tehachapi by a very large nnajority at the end ol the period. The second guarter was rather close also, but in it Maricopa held a si, b- Page Forty-one Page Forty-two stantial lead. The second half, however, was very different. From the beginning to the end of this period the Indians increased their lead steadily. Burroughs and Eu- banks played outstanding games-each scoring I4 points. The score at the end of the game stood at 44 to 23 with the Indians victorious. B Class Takes Wasco 24 to IZ January I5-Playing the first league game on the local court the Maricopa B class defeated the Wasco Tigers in a very exciting encounter. The first quarter started with both teams showing good defensive work, and neither team gaining a substantial lead. The first quarter ended with a 5 to 5 deadlock. But the second period was somewhat different, because the lndian's superior passing started to make an impression on the scoreboard. The score at the end of the half was I4 to 6. The third quarter was just like the second, with Maricopa increasing their lead steadily. In the last period the Wasco Tigers started a scoring rally, but the Indians stopped it immediately and the game ended 24 to I2 in favor of Maricopa. Elissague was hIgh point man with 8 points to his credit. Maricopa Beats Shaffer 30 to Z0 January 22-Starting off the second half of the season, the B class took the Shafter five on the local floor. The game started very closely with neither team scoring many baskets. At the end of the first quarter the Indians had a very slight lead. But in the second period the Indians caught on to the Shafter defense and started hitting the loop. The score at the half was I9 to IO in Maricopa's favor. With the beginning of the second half the Cardinals seemed to tighten up, and it became more difficult for the Indians to make baskets, But the Indians were not worried, and they kept their lead throughout the third and fourth quarters. The score at the end of the game was 30 to 20 in favor of Maricopa. Weaver and Eubanks played outstanding games scoring 8 and IO points respectively. Maricopa Defeated by McFarland February I2-Meeting the McFarland Cougars on the local court, the Indians were defeated in a very exciting game by a scant two points. From the very begin- ning of the game the Indians seemed to lack their usual punch, and consequently, the McFarland boys had a substantial lead at the end of the first quarter. With the beginning of the second period Maricopa took on a little fight and brought the score up to I3 to IO in favor of the Cougars, The third Quarter was like the first, with the Cougars outplaying Maricopa. The Indians entered the last period trailing by about eight points. Until late in the game, it looked as if Maricopa would be defeated by a large score, but the Indians got busy and started a rally which was ended by the sound 'of the gun. The score at the end of the game was 24 to 26 in favor of McFarland, Losing the game makes the B Class tied with Wasco for the championship. Maricopa Loses Championship to Wasco February I9-The Maricopa B Class traveled to Wasco to play off the champion- ship which was tied between Maricopa and Wasco B Classes. The Indians started the game in their usual style by taking the lead in the first quarter. In spite of the larger court the Indians were able to hold their lead throughout the first half, The score at the end of the half was 8 to 5 in Maricopa's favor. With the beginning of the second half Wasco took the lead since Maricopa scored very few points in the third quarter. Maricopa could not regain the lead in the last quarter, although they fought very hard. The game ended with Wasco leading by a score of Zl to IS. This game ended a very successful season for the Maricopa B Class. Although they did not win the championship, they came through the season with very few defeats and ended in second place in the league. g,uz emzis This year the tennis team used a new system tor their league matches, On April lOth all ot the single matches in the league were played on the local court Each school played one set ot six games with each ot the other schcols in the league, The winners were decided by tallying the number ot games won during the entire day The doubles matches were played in the same manner at Wasco on April lst, Oh March 20th the Maricopa boys' and girls' teams met the Bakersteld teams on the local courts Both ot Mar1copa's teams were very successful, ln both the girls' and the boys' division, Maricopa won tour out ot six matches, The most outa standing match ot the day was played by Clara Sims, who was deteated by a score ot lb-li, 6-4 after a long and territic battle.

The school of Minnows were swimming rapidly along the path of good luck when a school of trout came into their course. The trout stopped and invited the Minnows to enjoy a party and dance given in their honor, A pleasant evening was enjoyed by all and the Minnows started again on their journey. As they advanced farther up the sea they heard Old Father Neptune call out, Hear yel l-lear yel Christmas is just around the corner. Stop and enjoy yourself while you can. The Minnows took his advice and laughter and merrirnent sounded in the Sea Shell Cafeteria, They swam up and down the cafeteria enjcying games and races which increased the appetite of all, Being hungry the Minnows lavishy ate delicious refreshments. Presents from the fellow Minnows were then opened, and everyone declared he had had a marvelous time. After the evening of merry making the Minnows started again on to the sea of success. As they were swlmming afong someone suggested that tlney should give a party for the trout, An invitation was sent to the trout and the larger figh of the sea. The program consisted of two numbers by the Minnow orchestra, vocal num- bers by the Minnow girls' quartet, a negro skit, a piano solo, a Topsy Dance and a comedy, Do You Believe In Luck, which brought much laughter, Aftsr the pro- gram the Minnows entertained the trout at the Royal Minnow Ball which was also en- joyed by the whales and sharks, After much hard work and many splendid times the Minifows slowly swam into the bay of education where they realized their freshman days were over. They wish to thank Miss Rogers, the class adviser, for her help and advice which made it a pleasant and successful year.

Cmrd Gfbouf Our Curffes When we were little, the Mock Turtle went on at last, more calmly, though still sobbing a little now and then, we went to school in the sea - Alice in Wonderland. The sea rolled and tossed about madly that September day and yet not a cloud could be seen. What is this? one poor fish asked another. Oh, it's those dumb turtles across the wave getting ready for school. You know they must learn how to keep out of the soup, and then there's that good old tale of the tortoise and the hare. Anyway you remember how we behaved when we were just other fish to fry? When you were what? a quiet voice asked from the depth of a wave. You mean now, don't you? But to get back to the turtle uprising. Each turtle was trying to stage a sit- down strike much to the disgust of Father and Mother Turtfe and the result was the very obvious upheaval of the otherwise sedate sea. Finally, a group of husky Snapping Turtles were started on their way to school. Swimming reluctantly toward the hated spot these masculine Snappers met up with a group of the opposite Soft- Shelled sex, and in due time they all arrived at their destination. The date was September I4. Three days later, some of the older turtles polished their shells, added a daub of red, white, and blue, and prepared to celebrate Constitution Day in the most pa- triotic manner possible to a turtle. Even Father and Mother Turtle were proud of their offsprings. Time passed inthe usual turtle fashion and then one day, about October 23, King Neptune left his throne and swam into Turtledom. Say, he said, how would you Young Snappers like to form a club for just yourselves-no Soft-Shelled variety permitted if you please-and no one who has not had at least one year's experience in Turtledom? We'll see what we can do, both with regard to having a good time and in discovering some way of taking the snap out of a Snapping Turtle. Twenty-two eager young turtles registered turtle approval in the best turtle manner, and then called themselves a most unturtle-like name, Pasipika Club. But in spite of this handicap-after all, what's in a name?-they proceeded to have some grand times together, such as picnics to a cozy nook known as Western Mineral, and would you believe it, several theater parties. Even turtles have their favorite stars, you know. But the time has come, Chief Turtle said, to talk of many things. To those of you who have managed to keep out of the soup-more literally spcken of as out of the red-we offer our congratulations in the form of an Honor Club Party. You bring the refreshments, and we'll take you to the theater, and putting both together we should have a party. They did, and even in turtle language a good time was had by all. Page Fifty-one Page Fifty-two l-lo, hum, one turtle sighed about December 5. I'm getting so tired of going to school, and just doing the same thing over and over. Why can't we do some- thing different? We've just the thing to soothe tired nerves and renew lagging spirits, said Chief Turtle. You tell us what you'd like to do, and we'll try to help you to do it. This was the beginning of an activity period to be held once a week. Turtle- Teacher Weikal organized a Hobby Club to which all were cordially invited to come and carry out their favorite hobby. Other activities were provided and proved most successful as a means of banishing boredom lyou know how turtles are.l Then came December I8 and with it came the Christmas program, and better still, so l heard a turtle say, Christmas vacation. Vacation ended, the turtles returned to school much refreshed, and for a time, the days passed with only the ordinary routine. Then on February 8, Chief Turtle de- clared it was time for another Honor Club party. Again, those turtles who had won honors for themselves enjoyed a theater party. And to add still more pleasure to their happy hearts, on February ll, the Turtle Orchestra played for some strange group called the Sciots in a place called Taft. The turtles hated to leave their watery homes, but were finally persuaded that honor is greater than comfort. Shortly after this, the waters of the sea again churned and foamed, and turtles could be seen swimming madly hither and thither, getting in the way of each other. What was this all about? Well, some of their distant relatives on the other side of the wave were getting up some kind of book, and the turtles could have their pic- tures in this book if they could raise some money. So they decided to give a pro- gram. Some turtles painted their shells black and closely resembled their brothers along the coast of Africa. These sang songs, danced, and told funny stories. Other turtles grew more romantic and staged a play. Whatever the results were, the tur- tles got their names and pictures in the book. And that's an event even in the life of a turtle. On March IO the older turtles decided it was about time to get organized, and they chose Snapper Bill Smith to be their leader. Then came Easter vacation, and then, woe to the poor turtle! An examination on the Constitution. To celebrate this ordeal they decided to have a party. And because turtles like variety, they had a picnic this timei Frazier Mountain Park was the place, and, of course, because they were turtles, eating was the chief enter- tainment. Each turtle now began to feel that, in the true democratic spirit, happy days were here again. But first there must be due honor paid to their cousins across the wave, On May 3l, these cousins, garbed in their best scales and fins, swam proudly down the aisles to honor. And the Turtle Orchestra beat out a solemn measure for these magnificent relatives. Came another l-lonor Club party and then-but stop, did you ever see a turtle hurry? Well, I did. Just visit any Turtle- dom on June 4, if that happens to be the last day of instruction in How to Keep of fth s U O e Cup TORTOISEMORRISON K HT.
