Text from Pages 1 - 44 of the 1937 volume:

A fterglaw Spring 1 93 7 Published by the Senior Class of June '37 Printed at McClymonds Print Shop 35W To teachers who excused the editors from their classes to work on this book so often that it was only through occasional rumors that they knew the authors were still in school, to in- structors who carried on bravely despite class interruptions by engravers, paper salesmen, and printerseall seeking mythical editors-to the office staff and supervisors who attempted to keep track of the whereabouts of the scribesebe it McClymonds, Lowell, or Durant-we. the ru- mored but seldom seen publishers of this publi- cation, dedicate this keyhole edition of iiLOOK. Page Two SWj 7de In an effort to record in pictures and a smat- tering of type so we won't have to reach for our glasses in our old age to reVdevv once again the three-years stay of this class without a home at McClymonds, the editors have, through spe- cial permission of the publishers of iiTime, com- piled this knee-high edition of iiLook , uLife , and hCollege Humor a la mixed up. While it xvas hnpossHhe to photograph so rnany coun- tenances munching doughnuts, sipping milk- shakes, or dashing for green stop lights, the editors hope that with a little imagination on the part of lockers their efforts will recall in the fu- ture the hectic but happy trio of years spent in dashing over our ever increasing campus. With this in mind, the editors pawned their creative resources to produce this twenty-sixth and final edition of McClymondsi Afterglow.

When Principal James A. Hensley handed out the last diploma Wednesday evening, June 16, 1937, ninety-two seniors bade farewell to care- free high school days. Through fair and stormy weather these babes of the road trudged back and forth between McClymonds and Durant, past doughnut shops and soda fountains, where many a dime left its ownefs fingers to purchase crullers and milkshakes which without doubt supplied vitamins that made it possible for foot- sore seniors to trip merrily on.

Although many hairs in the adviserts locks turned grey and pupils who belonged sat up late at nights in protesting fat and indigestion, caused from downing the customary noon dough- nuts with too great speed, three clubs at McCly- monds have lived on. Action of Honor Society members, Girlst Leaguers, and boys belonging to the boys, athletic association, have proved that crullers provide stamina.

Nursing sagging arches and over-grown cases of dyspepsia-caused not too seldom by hurried Tuesday noon snacks of crullers and aglomarations of milk and ice cream-twelve commissioners, representing as many activities. bade farewell to stormy sessions and incumbent legislative duties with the class of '37. Not all are seniors, but most will be retiring from their positions either to accept higher offices or to settle back and reflect on the days when I used to be on the board? Page Nineteen vvvvvv The Board of Commissioners, with Mrs. Eleanor Doherty as advis- er, a r e M y r t A rc h e r, C o r a Babcock, Steph- en Bisbiglia, Lou- is Celia, Modesto Donatelli, I one Fredrickson,Fran- 'j' g ces Gluck, James Kane, Isabel Kiel- basa, Bob Morten, Rose Nobla, and Bernard Uribe. For twenty-four weeks, McClymondsi governing group, the board of com- missioners, convened each Tuesday. wrestled with student political problems. handled financial matters, and sponsored social activities. For their term,s labor, the twelve student big-wigs garnered sixty service points apiece, the distinction of being the twenty-sixth and final student governing board of McClymonds, and a one-day picnic spree in San Francisco. Like the majority of their predecessors, the spring semester commis- sioners, chief aim was to establish co-ordination between their respective committees, keep student-body membership up to par, and help provide the juniors and seniors still at Mack with interesting socials. To this end the law-makers launched a student-body card drive, and dance; a day dedicated to sports on May 28; and a skating party held Friday evening, May 14. On June 1, the commissioners hied themselves off to Fleishacker Park in San Francisco for a farewell get-together. Seven of the board graduate. Five remain to Hirt with future politcal fame. Graduate commissioners are Student Body President Bob Morten; Sec- retary Frances Gluck; and commissioners Isabel Kielbasa, girlsi athletics'; Rose Nobla, welfare; Myrt Archer, publications; Stephen Bisbiglia, finance; and Yell Leader James Kane. Mrs. Eleanor Doherty, on the job since 1924, completed her thirteenth year as adviser to the McClymonds board of commissioners. Page Twenty w, At the first meeting of the term, the senior gentry oarcelled out to two boys and one girl the exacting job of heading the graduating class of June, '37. John Strathouse, president; Livio Lozza, vice-president, and Claire Cody, secretary, in turn entrusted special duties to an excutive committee of Eve. Together with their respective committees these eight big noises of the spring semester seniors took care of the long list of high twelve projects. Claire Cody stood at the head of the prom music committee, whose task it was to obtain the services of a bunch of professional Hhot gents, who provided the swing at the semi-annual senior strut. Johnny Strathouse was saddled with the job of reception committee chairman and Vice-President Lozza with the problem of providing furniture for the prom. Bob Morten receiped for the task of ceiling decorator; Frances Gluck, check-room head; Rose Nobla, blossoms; Myrt Archer, all senior publications, and Isabel Kielbasa, senior prom bids. Strathouse and Cody were both active on school committees. In his junior year Johnny turned out sport and feature copy for the Record. Lozza. vice-head, majored in print shop and polished off his school career by treat- ing himself to a banner season with the basketball varsity. Chosen to lead the class of June '37 w e r e J o h n Strathouse, presi- dent; Livio Lozza, vic e - president; and Claire Cody, secretary. T h e i 1' executive c o m- m i t t e e included B o b M o r t e n, Frances G l u c k. Rose Nobla, Isa- bel Kielbasa, and M y r t A r c h e r. These four girls, f o u r boys, and t h e i r respective committees, draft- ed all plans for s e n i or activities, a n d before the term was out saw the completion of these projects.

Despite the fact that our school was Split among three buildings spread all over the face of west Oakland, the senior class ofhcers, board of commis- sioners and nine committees tjudiciary, welfare, finance, rally programs and entertainments, social affairs, advertising, and oHice staffs fortified their members with corn pads, bromo seltzers, milk shakes and crullers and carried serenely but sore-footedly on. During the past four and a half months of pavement pounding, the senior class heads arranged and staged the traditional class day, using loud clothes as the theme. The board of commissioners functioned perfectly, even though members did suffer indigestion from wolfing down Tuesday lunches to get to board meetmgs on time. Regardless of blistered feet, judiciary members rendered unprejudiced sentence to law breakers, while welfare members nursed corns over a be better known assembly. The finance heads balanced the budget while the rally group.stirred up school spirit, and the programs and entertaihments and soc1al affalrs committees collaborated to amuse doughnut-fed Mackites :vith assemblies, skating parties, noon and after school dances, and swimmnig eats. Page Twenty-fout The p u b l i c a- tions group, which is advised by Mrs. L o i s M c R o y J o n e 3, includes Myrt Archer, ed- i t o r; E v e I y n B o o t h, F 1 o r a Campi, Blaz Ci- k 0 c h, associate editor; Fay De Cristina, Anthony Kovacich, feature editor; Lawrence La Barr, Michael McBride, Phyliss M o r g a n, B i 1 1 Sheide, sports ed- it o r ; Dorothea Silva, June Wil- ley, Ruth Wold- man, Albert Lem- mer, Victor Re- motto, Joan Da CoSta, and Helen Kranovich.

Athletic Day, staged by boys, athletic association members, taxed the editorsi resources severely when they attempted an All-Sport Special, which, although, it added gray hairs galore to the locks of adviser Lois McRoy Jones, and robbed page heads and special writers of their already too scant hours of snooze, came out as planned; and, fairly dripping ink, it was distributed to celebrating would-be athletes. The fourth estate was rocked fore and aft by changes of sports editors throughout the term. Larry La Barr and Mike McBride scribbled out eight issues of the page, Bill Sheide and La Barr two, McBride alone one, and Sheide, upon whose shoulders the burden finally came to rest, three. Evelyn Booth, in addition to writing her column uHeis Different Because? collared the position of news editor, assisted by Helen Kranovich. The athletic world was covered by Vic Remotto, and the sports editors, while June Willey and Albert Lemmer tramped twenty blocks to cover the Lowell division. Dorothea Silva held the sheetis purse strings as business manager, and circulations problems were ironed out by Fay Di Cristina and Phyllis Morgan. Flora Campi and Ruth Woldman broke finger nails and soiled their hands folding papers in the exchange department, while Mrs. Lois McRoy Jones, between her Hights from the Durant division to the Lowell annex, advised the sheet.

Myrt was always recognized, even at great distances, by the enormous pile of books he carried. On the right is Evelyn Booth, who re- ceived special honors for her English work. She was unrivaled in writing ability by the entire school. But, like all aue thors, she has a mania-hers is ham sandwiches. Snuggly ensconced in honor positions after a faculty huddle in mid-April were Myrt Archer, Evelyn Booth, Bob Morten and Isabel Kielbasa. Myrt spent one year in editorial spots in the Record. and during his final term edited the Afterglow. Bob was student-body president, vice-president, and commissioner of welfare. Isabel, for an entire year, was commissioner of girls athletics. Evelyn was a long-term tenant of the Record staff box. Bob M o r t e n, honored for ser- vice, despite his dreamy, care-free nature, proved to be a real leader and, under his generalship pave- m e n t pounding, s t u d e n t b o d y members continu- ed, despite sag- ging arches and rain drenched garments, to sur- mount impending obstacles and carry on. Perhaps the one person. in t'h e high senior class who enjoyed the between per- iod Qi-block jaunt more than any one else is Isabel Kielbasa re- cipient of special honors for her work in girls' ath- letics.

Those who assigned homework, put their faith in tears, threats, or cajolery to pull it in next day. All hoped, come June 16, that by the will of the teacher, the quality of the text, and the grace of God, the pupils learned something.

Recently the group bought a loud speaker which can be attached to the radio or phonograph for noon and afterschool dances. Hall monitors are under the supervision of the delegates and Aurora Avila, captain of the halls, is a stu- dent body member. At the end of the term, pennants, awards and pins are given to students who have been outstanding in sports, citizenship and all the awards. Delegates are elected by Page Thirty 5 a . .....7 17.99.

WW BASEBALL Baseball, the sport that McClymonds sleeps, eats, and plays, ended dis- astrously as compared to their showing in previous years. Although finishing second, McClymonds lost three games, all by one-run margins. They opened the season with a 2-1 extra inning victory against Fremont. The next week they beat University 7-1. Castlemont tripped the Warriors 4-3 for their first defeat in another extra inning contest. Against Roosevelt they emerged the winner to the tune of 7-4. Playing for a first place tie, they beat San Leandro 6-4. Against Oakland they found that their jinx was still there, 4-3. McClymonds, in a tie for first with two teams, Tech and San Leandro, went into their big game against Tech, the favorites, but despite Buck Hagerty's two triples, lost in the fifth and sixth innings in which Tech scored three runs, to win 3-2. BASKETBALL Basketball at McClymonds never before has been as popular as it has this year. Winning four. and losing three, the Indians finished third behind Tech, who won, and Fremont, who finished second. They lost to Tech. Fremont, and Oakland, and beat University, San Leandro, and Castlemont easily. In the other game that they came up the victor, the Warriors went an extra period in doing so They overcame a 13- point lead and beat Roosevelt 41-40, in a game that had the spectators in a frenzy all through the latter half. The O. A. L. was also presented with a new scoring star in Nick Rago, who beat the previous record by 13 points, scoring 93 in seven contests, 21 in the San Leandro game. TRACK Coach Dink Rodriquez has had one of the worst seasons in his entire career at McClymonds this year. At the beginning of track he was greeted with a handful of veterans and a few hopefuls. When all seven practice meets, which were lost, were over, Rod had fewer men than when he started. . In every meet the boys seemed to progress as though they were Going With the Wind , the wind never being with them. In the O. A. L. meet at Edwards Field, Tech was the favorite to win .and the Indians the same for last. . Page Thirty-Five The Girls Ath- letic Committee, headed with Mrs. Helen Ketler as adviser, and Isa- bel Kielbasa, com- missioner, is com- posed of Elisa Avila, Charlotte Christensen, Le- on Downey, Pris- cilla Fernandes, Jane Loeffler, Kay Milicich, and Ruth Woldman. Mrs. Ketler and Miss Hickox, who spent all but one period at the L o w ell division, helped whip into shape the base- a ball teams that played in the Mack versus Lowell season finale. Mrs. Heien M. Krzier Miss Louise 5. Hickox Girlst athletics pulled out of the woods this semester by smashingr the old bugaboo of sparse attendance at after-school competitions. Spring '37 saw the rise of a new system, which Commissioner Kielbasa and committee fig- ured would spark attendance. Two major sports, instead of the customary one, were scheduled. For the first ten weeks basketball and volleyball were the big guns of competition. Paddle-handball was on the lists as the minor sport. During the last part of the term horseshoes was the second attraction. Baseball, as major sport, rang down the curtain on the girls' 37 sports season. Page Thirty-Six Those who are to blame for this mess of type, pic- tures, and paper, are Myrt Archer, editor; Evelyn Booth, associate: Anthony K o v a- c i c h. associate; Larry LaBarr, as- sociate in charge of sports; Isabel Kielbasa. art edi- tor; and Clifford Rogers. make-up editor. The After- glow staff was supervised by Mrs. Lois McRoy Jones. Already reeling from work on the Record, Myrt Archer, editor; Evelyn Booth, associate; Anthony Kovacich, also associate; Larry La Barr, sports editor; and Mrs. Lois McROy Jones, adviser; threw a half hitch around their courage, and augmenting their wavering ranks with Isabel Kielbasa to handle art work and Clifford Rogers to worry over the printing, plunged head on into the task of producing the Afterglow. After a month and a half of running down seniors to get proofs, the lemon that Evelyn drew, the scribes sacrificed Saturday and Sunday snoozes along with what was left of their happy go-lucky dispositions to assemble the pictures, for engraving. Rest at last came to the editors, and they leaned back with feet on their desks to antagonize the engravers and printers and to nurse their shattered dispositions. From this period on Mr. James K. Seebree of the California Arts and Engraving Company; Mr. W. G. Middleton, printing adviser of the book; and Clifford Rogers, makeup editor; were the ones who bade adieu to sunny dis- positions. Left with but four short weeks to engrave, make-up, print, and bind. the memoir, they turned on the speed and brought out this twenty-sixth edition of the Afterglow on time. There is a ray of hope for the future editors and advisers and engravers, however, since movement is under way to create a fund with which to purchase aspirins, a rapid transit system, and an old age pension, for all who labor on coming numbers of this book!
