To vast nsicle my worry. VJ like to wnnilc-r far away To find a mountain stream, To lie beneath a shady tree And there to sleep and ilream. To dream of magic hours gone by And of time ilours to come, ful' days that stnrt this Coming June, To Count them, one by one. For with the June I start to live. H1 fling the past lmetlinct-1 nl start a new, a different life, With different tics to bind. But after years have come and gone, Although they may be gay, l'lI like to slip from out the crowd And wander far away. l'll like to wander far away, To break an earthly bond, And live a day in memory When this has gone beyond.

EDNA NIAE BECK ln 1952 a large numher of Freshmen huddled together in frightened groups about the halls, gazing awesomely at the upper classmen who moved ahout so unconcernedly. Qur first social attempt was the Sophomore Return. The following year We did our part in welcoming the Nloahesu with a reception. ln our Junior year the girls inaugurated the HBig Sister custom of helping the new students register and find their classes. During the year We raised money for the loig event, the Junior- Senior Prom, hy selling candy and giving noon dances in the gymnasium. ln loolcing hack over our four years we find that We have been well represented in all activities-athletics, dramatics and chorus. We are proud that in our Senior play, uGroWing Pains. which was the first public performance in three years, our cast played to standing capacity. The profits enaloled us to hold a Senior Vveelc unusually full of varied fun. A delightful Junior-Senior Prom marked the close of our social activities. ln 1956 you may again see us huddled in groups about the halls. This time We are happily discussing our pleasant past four years and our exciting plans for the future. 0 Q o Wm Sfnlmz, Jwezcevf union ,474 5-CAQQZ -- fQ35-30 MARGUERITE DEVAURS LORENA ELlZABE'FH DUTTON LOREN IVIELVIN FURTADO JANE NAN HARTMAN DOROTHY ELIZABETH HARTWIG DOROTHY JEAN LAWRENCE ETHEL RHETA MINK EVELYN CLAIRE SANIJINO DORIS ANNIE STAPP MARJORIE LEE PTHOIVIPSON HELEN LEE THOMPSON HELEN MILENA VYBORNY PATRICIA HELEN VVEBBER Alcorn, E.

I2 School Paper The idea of a paper for the school developed from a composition project iast year in Mrs. Sturdevanfs Freshman academic English classes. The editors of last year's Freshman Review were Martha Mcciung and Beverly Virgo, to whom we give iiherai credit for their pioneering efforts in organization and their continued interest in their project. This year the staff has not consisted entirely of Freshmen. Several upper ciass students have given much of their time and energy to the paper, notahiy .lack Daniels, our cartoonist, and Jane Vvaiter, who has attracted much praise from exchange papers of other schools and the nickname Uvvincheiiu Vvaiter for her clever Work on the scandal feature column. Keyhole Kula. Our editor, Bill Howell, intends to continue as editor next year and to take over the Keyhole Kuh column. His etiquette column, Emiiy's Ghostf' has also been praised hy exchange papers. Other memhers of the staff who should he mentioned for their outstanding woric are Beveriy Gardner, Phyllis Roduner, James Davidson and Lavina Liiiey. The paper is strictly an extra curriculum activity, limited to students of B standing, there heing no journaiism instruction at the present time. We hope to purchase a good journalism text hook for next year with money taken from our fast-growing fund, and to make pians for a reguiariy organized group. Gur paper has been irregular in its publication this year since our sponsor, iwirs. Sturdevant, has been occupied with El Rodeo, and our assemhier, Miss Joerg, has been rushed with other material for her business practice typing class.

This organization, which has added greatly to the pleasure and spirit ol the school, is both a marching unit and concert hand. In the fall of this year, when the music department was reestab- lished, the hand started with ten members. Now at the close ol' the year it numbers almost forty. On February 7 they gave a successful concert for the purpose ol raising lunds for uniforms. in May a program was given the Ellcs Lodge. ln between periods the hand hasplayed lor the student hody programs and assemhlies. As a marching unit the hand has proved itself a success in greatly increasing the spirit ol the student body, especially at our interscholastic clashes in the field ol sports. o Q 0 INSTRUMENTATION Cornet'-Ed Beechham, James Holman: Clarinet-lVlatthew Van Vvinlcle, Vernon Tuster, Theo Declcerg FluteHClxarline Kappelg Horn'-Earl Cregger, Boi: Marshall, Arthur Hughes fBARlTONE,Z pe 1-z: ussionf-Burton Young, James Davison, Delmar Hill: Piccolo'--Richard Balemeg Saxophone'-Jay Anderson,.Ernest Jensen, Priscilla Mccomhs, Clyde Jones, Nlildred Levy: Trombone-Fred Mhacle, Charles Nlinor, Eugene Simpson, Marvin Wisdom, Jordon Jensen, Carl Rodrigues, Vveldon Jaclcsonz Trumpet--Stanley Semi: Tuba-lawrence Comhra, Lonnie Nlurpliy QBASSQ. x Orchestra This year the music department was restored to the High School.

The Senior Quartet, the A Capella Choir, and the annual operetta drew lrom this group lor their memhers. The Senior Quartet, which was always in demand, consisted of Tony Fer- ranti, lirst tenor, Junior lVloomjian, second tenor: Jaclc Daniels, baritone: and Lon- nie Murphy, bass. The quartet represented the school at local service club lunches, dinners, and sang lor concerts and dances as well as school assemhlies and student body meetings. The A Capella Choir received its share of attention and interest, too. An a Capella choir consists ol a group ol' mixed vocalists who sing without musical accompaniment of any lcind. This is a difficult thing to accomplish without getting off lcey. At the hand concert given Fehruary seventh, the choir aroused a great deal ol interest and appreciation lor its excellent rendition.

The next game was a disappointment to the Nlerced lans, as the Bears lost, on an off night, to Ceres. Determining to redeem themselves, lVlerced won over a powerful Roosevelt team, Livingston, and Oakdale. ln the annual Modesto game the final whistle found lxflerced battling hard, only to lose hy a score of I2 to 7. The Bears next lost to a strong, fast Turlock eleven hy a score ol 26 to 0. ln the second half ol this game, Merced started to play the lcind ot football they were capable of playing. Merced won the right to enter the San Joaquin Valley play-offs hy defeating the Madera Wolves 7 to 6. This game, which gave many a thrill to the loyal spectators who journeyed to the rival school, proved to he the hest game Merced played all season. Qn Thanksgiving Day the Bears encountered Hanford in the semi-finals. Experience and Uhrealcsn gave Hanford a six-point victory in a closely fought hattle. ln loolcing ahead to next year's prospects, the lxflerced Bears should have a fairly heavy line and a last haclcllield, which spell a good team.

'W l i it -v .JY 'L ffiii. ...J.Am , , , An Basicethali Starting with a veteran team, iwierced finished one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school. The accurate shooting and fast team work oi nDoug Thomas. Richard Griffin, and Waiter Nlyers in the forecourt, and the defensive work of Forrest Clayton, George Edde and Einer Larsen in the hack court made up a comhination that was hard to heat. As an encouraging start, a pre-league game with a towering Fresno five gave Nierced a victory of 27-10. In the Tri-County League Merced decisively defeated Gustine, Chowchiiia, Dos Palos. and Livingston. The absence through illness of Einer Larsen, star hack guard, made itself evident in the Los Banos game as the Bears lost ground in time closing minutes of play. The Niadera game was hy far the most thrilling of the season. Doug Thomas saved the evening for Nierced hy arching a shot through the net and also scoring a foui shot in the closing seconds of the match. This tied the score, making an overtime period necessary. After five very exciting minutes Nierced topped the score 20-27. This victory over iwadera gave Nierced the privilege of entering the San Joaquin Valley playoffs. The Bears next mnet Edison HTechm of Fresno on the opponents' court, giving them a close battle to the iast second when the final whistle found Merced two points behind with a score of 24. Last of all to complete its hriiiiant record, Nierced, in a post-season game, defeated a highly touted Yuha City team in one of the tiashiest games of the year. - e . - Q A - W W ilfwi A BASKETBALL-Continued Yuba City had a ta11, fast-breaking team with a record of 45 straight victories to defend.

Girls' Athletics The girls of Merced High School showed a lively interest in athletics during the 1935-56 school year. They are heginning to realize more and more, the value of athletics in developing poise, correct posture, quiclc thinlcing and action. lvlrs. Stratton's successful weelcly program covering calesthentics, games, dancing, and two days ol sports, provides a lull and concise schedule lor the girls. Calesthentics: Posture tests, drills, tumhling, and exercises develop rhythm and accuracy: and huild up coordination and team worlc which are the foundation of athletic activities. Games: Relays and various circle games open a lield to new material in sports. They allow equal opportunity to all girls in the classes for the development oi action, precision and timing. Team worlc and sportsmanship are essentials ol all games. Dancing: Dances continue to hold their position of favor in the development of -carriage ancl grace. Follc dances, clogs, and specialty numhers are practiced lay the groups. Sports: The fundamentals, history, rules and loenelits of each sport uncler- talcen are carefully presented hy lxflrs. Stratton. This gives the class a clear understanding ol the purpose ofthe activity. Third, fourth, seventh, and eighth hour interclass teams are organized for each sport. Varsity teams are chosen for volley- ball, basket ball, and baseball. Volleyball: The year of sports lor girls is started with volleyball. Team organization and play develop new material for the more strenuous activities. Class games are played in the gymnasium. lnter-class and varsity games are played on out-door courts. Eighth-hour girls toolc the championship. . 41 - WW 'W M BASKETBALL Merced 25-Le Grand 14 Basketball is our hig sport of the season. Large crowds attend the noon games. Even the hoys stand up and cheer. A special team from the seventh and eighth hour classes played Le Grand varsity in our first inter-school game. This marks our first try with teams from other schools and we look forward to additional schedules for next year. The seventh and eighth hour varsities displayed skill and training in an exciting, well-played game for the local championship. Eighth hour T R A C K Qur entries in track do not cover all items on the boys' schedule. Baseball throw for distance, 50-yard and 75-yard dashes, high jump, and relays are popular.

The entrants displayed much interest in playing the ladder matches, since the four highest in ranlc on hoth hoys' and girls, ladders would automatically form the tennis team. We felt lceenly the loss ol several fifth-year students upon whom we had counted for team material. However, the team made a Fine showing in practice matches with Madera, Los Banos and Chowchilla. On April 18, Nlerced played in the tri-county preliminaries against Nladera. Although we staged a line battle, unfortunately lor us Nladera won all the matches except the mixed doubles. VVith the loss ol hut two members through graduation, lVlerced's outlook lor next year is bright. EL RODEO for 1956 g Commercial Activities Because of the practical values in this course, one third ol' the freshmen who entered high school in September, enrolled commercially. Classes were ex- ceedingly large, lout the enthusiasm of the students made it possilole to carry on successfully. Besides the students who took the complete commercial course, some Academic and General students took typing, shorthand, and other commercial subjects because ot their practical, vocational qualities. The Junior Office Practice classes did a great deal of typing and mimeo- graphing for the olilice and different classes in the school. Some of the work done this year was making copies of hallots, class newspapers, courses of study, English outlines, examinations, history outlines, programs, recipe cards, school rules, songs, tickets l-or plays and games, various lqorm hlanks. and lists. One of the largest divisions ol the department is typing. Tri-county awards are given for writing at various speeds, the lowest laeing 50 words a minute for 15 minutes, with not more than tive errors. Up to May l, awards were given to 110 students who wrote at '50, and to O8 students who wrote at 40. The following received awards for writing at 50: Dorothy Archihald, Ceva Bryan, Hattie Carter, Henry Damos, Eleanor Day, Marguerite Devaurs, Peggy Erstad, Juliette Eyraud, Hazel Freitas, Dorris Hamhley, Bertha Hamlett, Jeannette Harrispure, Dorothy Hartwig, Tressahelle Jennings, Doddridge King, Bettye Large, Barbara Larsen, Flossie Loho, Teresa Wlassetti, Wlarian lVlcCoy, Ralph Navarro, Marian Nelson, Flora Neves, Cecelia Quinn, Leah Robinson, lsahel Sanchez, Julia Schofield, Ann Silveira, Doris Stapp, lnez Tiscornia, Jimmie Wardrobe, Helen Zierenherg. The following received awards for writing at 60: Nlargaret Henton, Frances l.eap, Ethel Lewis, Ampora Rangel, Dorothy Raymer, Helen Vyhorny. The following students wrote perfectly and received pins: .lohn Clayton, Marguerite Devaurs, Angie Nlachado, Helen Zierenherg. At the Junior Exposition given at the American Legion Hall, May 7, 8 and 9, a group of 28 skilled typists put on an exhihit for the public. These typists were students who type on the average of 60 words or more a minute for I5 minutes. On a one minute test Frances Leap and Eunice Tallacksen wrote 86 words perfectly. Twelve shorthand students took letters which were dictated at 100 words a minute and transcrihed them at 25. Those who took part in the Exposition were: Ceva Bryan, Hattie Carter, Morgan Cook, Henry Damos, hflarguerite Devaurs, Bernice Emery, Viola Geary. Dorothy Hartwig, Margaret Henton, Frances Leap, Ethel Lewis, Flossie Loloo, Teresa Massetti, Marian Nlccoy, Ralph Navarro, Nlarian Nelson, Ampora Rangel, Dorothy Raymer, Carolyn Rector, Leah Robinson, lsahel Sanchez, Doris Stapp, Gladys Stoops, Eunice Tallacksen, Inez Tiscornia, Herhert U,Ren, Helen Vyloorny, Jimmie Vvardrolae. g EL Romeo for 1956 A demonstration of worlcing an electric calculator was given hy Harvey Banks and Teresa Massetti. A group of students entered the State Typing Contest held May 14. There were three classes: novice-in which it was essential to write 40 words with no typ- ing intruction previous to 1055, amateur-50 words with no typing instruction pre- vious to 1054: unlimited,-60 words with no typing helore 1952. The following students entered, lout the results will not he lcnown until later: Novice: Helen Anderson, Laura Haplcen, VN7ylma Henton, Claude Kennedy, Frances Landram, Nancy Neilson, Kathryn Plummer, Angela Raso, Eileen Robinson, Mozelle Thomas, Jane Walter. Amateur: Ceva Bryan, 1Vlorgan Coolc, Henry Damos, Viola Geary, Carolyn Rector, Gladys Stoops, Herbert U'Ren. Unlimited: Margaret Henton. Frances Leap, Ampora Rangel, Dorothy Raymer, lsahel Sanchez, Helen Vyloorny. Shorthand is the twin art of typing. Fourth year typing is transcrihing short- hand notes on the typewriter. Shorthand is dictated from new material at 60, 80. 100, 120 words a minute for live minutes. and then transcribed. Twenty-one students won 60 word awards and the following won 80 word awards: Hattie Carter, Marguerite Devaurs, Mary Louise Elgart, Dorothy Hartwig, Jeannette Harrispure, Flossie Lobo, Teresa lVlassetti, lxflarian Nlccoy, Ralph Navarro, Marian Nelson, Ampora Rangel, Katherine Rudich, Julia Schofield, Doris' Stapp, Eunice Tallaclcsen, Helen Vyhorny, Jimmie Wardrobe. The following won 100 word awards: Marian Nelson, Ampora Rangel, Doris Stapp, and Helen Vyloorny. In the Business Training classes students were given worlc which helped them to adjust themselves to social conditions. They also studied the correct way to malce business forms, and had experience with these forms through the use of worlc hoolcs. Motion pictures were shown for the purpose of acquainting the student with different types of johs,-for instance, factory and clerical workers. In the Boolclceeping classes they hecame familiar with the technique of hus- iness transactions, as used in modern husiness iirrns, hy worlcing on sets of hoolcs which would he used in different types of husiness. Commercial Law was taught to aid the students in their future business trans- actions. Among the many suhjects touched upon, which are essential factors in the wheel of commercial husiness, were: contracts, negotiable instruments, and real estate laws. Actual cases taken from records ol every state in the union were com- mented upon and discussed. Students taking salesmanship learned how well they were litted for the type of selling they expect to do. Practice was given in the last few months in voice improvement, hy requiring the students to give sales lallcs. Business English was interesting. Nlany ol the students showed remarlcahle slcill in writing business letters and in hecoming efficient husiness men and women. EL RODEO for 1956 p The dehates that were held in the class were met with enthusiasm hy all the students. A business play illustrating personality and husiness etiquette proved to he of great value to all. ' A class in Filing and Calculating was conducted for a half year. Calculation was taught on different types of calculators, including an electric one. After five methods of tiling were learned, a test was given and certificates awarded to the tollowing: Gilbert Anderson, Hattie Carter, James Cornett, Marguerite Devaurs. Earnest Landa, Flossie Lobo, Teresa Nlassetti, Lonnie lvlurphy, Ralph Navarro, Marian Nelson, Ampora Rangel, Vvilliam Silveira, Doris Stapp, Albert Vergano, Helen Vyloorny, Nevelle Wallace, James Wardrobe, Nobel Zumwalt. Economic Geography gave the students a new conception of the manner in which man has adapted himself to his environment in order to malce a living. Motion pictures on suhjects such as transportation, steel, cotton, and sillc served to increase interest. A spealcer, who was raised in China, told about the culture of the sillc worm, and showed beautiful and antique pieces ol sillc. A teacher who recently returned from the Scandinavian countries told of home and school life and how those people malce a living. The classes studied United States and her leading products, worlcing conditions in the Orient, lvlexican and Tropical American pro- ducts, and in detail, Merced County. Besides getting practical experience in the Oliice Practice Courses, the students finishing the four-year commercial course, sometimes have had experience hy helping business men who need some one for immediate extra worlc. These employers have seemed glad to pay them for their services. Some of the graduates, after having experience, have talcen State and United States Civil Service Exam- inations and have been very satisfactorily placed. Others have found employment in larger cities, hut commercial graduates have found employment principally he- cause the husiness men ot Merced have formed the habit of calling upon the high school when office help is needed. The office of the high school has a list of the graduate candidates who wish to he placed. This list includes the, grades the student has made as well as comments on personality. It enables the ottice to suggest to the employer the student which is thought to he the hest one for that particular type of jolo. Through Mr. lVleany and the Commercial teachers, a thorough follow-up of these students has heen maintained. This means, the recording of the kind of ioh they have, their duties, their salary, and ohtaining the empioyer's criticism of the students in regard to their iworlc or personality. With these criticisms as a guide, the commercial course has he-en hroadened and developed from year to year.
