RICHARD GRIFFIN QQO After three years of fun, study, and growing up, We have at last reached the goal for which We have been striving throughout our school years-our Senior year. On September 22, the listed officers were elected as an executive committee to lead the class through it's social and financial activities. Several meetings of the class were held to discuss the problems of how We should dress, Where We should graduate, and how we should entertain ourselves during the Senior Week. The first of the Senior activities was Senior Ditch Day, which was held at Lake Yosemite, Where all who attended enjoyed a day of picnicing, boating, dancing, and above all the feeling of superiority in not having to attend school. Since our Baccalaureate Services were held on May 30th, Decoration Day, we had the added inspiration from the lives of past heroes. We Wish to thank you, Juniors, for the delightful Prom. We appreciate your effort and courtesy in giving us a Wonderful time. Senior Week was a very busy one with a dinner-dance on Monday, a the- ater party Tuesday, the Prom Wednesday, a breakfast Thursday, and with the most important event of all, our graduation, on Friday. May We express our gratitude to Mr. Meany and the faculty for their splendid advice and guidance to us during our high school days.

The Junior Play, The Pot lioilersf' which was the most profitable event for us, was presented March 5 under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Perkins. ,The east for the play included Martha MeClung', Margaret Guilford, Bruce Gratham, Jack Roth, Walte-1' Crawford, Waltlii' Egli, Baker Conrad and Dorothy B chan Qproinptressl. Thr ughout the year, the Juniors have been well represented in football, baseball asketball and track. Davc Contreras, well known Junior athlete, was p 'e fed at the end of the 1936-37 football season with an All-American blai tt nated by the business men of Merced. California, in appreciation for his. 'illkilintfplaying i11 football. vi' , f 1 -WALTER CRAWFORD X' s, bi -nn3 Mui . W:.:i.4.'3fn.g.'xLf W: A..:a 1' I . f 1 , , f L 4 .A Sophomore Notes ,.

Sfs time honored custom, as some of the poor, little, maltreated Freshmen will testify. After our books had been open a few weeks, we offered the Freshmen Reception as a small repayment for their suffering, and then amused ourselves by watching their antics as Mother Goose characters. .ln about a month the sportsmanlike Freshmen generously dedicated to us the Sophomore Return, at which we enjoyed the decorations and the dancing immensely. The Sophomore Class has taken a very active part in student affairs this year. Among our class celebrities we have a lead in the operetta, an editor of the school paper, and students active in track and tennis. As our number of years at school increase so do our parts in school activities. As the year closes our last Sophomore wish is that the class of 1940 may have as successful and happy a Sophomore year as have the class of 1939. -BETTY GRIFFIN w.. Freshman otes President . . .

HUGH CAMPELL 0 Q 0 Our Freshman year opened at an early season meeting conducted by Mr. Frank Poytress, student body counselor. Mr. Poytress announced that Miss Flora Wilson had been chosen as counselor to the Freshman Class. At the following meeting class officers were ehosen with the results shown above. October l7, the Sophomores gave us our first official welcome at the Freshman Reception where we seemed to furnish the amusing part of the entertainment. Shortly after, our class, aided by Miss Wilson, gave the Sophomore Return, to show that we are socially minded, too. These two dances finished the activities of the class as a whole except for the continuing collec- tion of dues to pay the Piper. Individual Freshmen have exeelled and are exeelling in the various fields of extra curricular endeavor. Several have shown that they possess musical ability, While others have revealed dramatic capabilities. In the field of sports Freshmen have been particularly outstanding. So, at the end of the year, we ean look back with pleasure on our first year achievements. Much of our retrospective pleasure is due to the efforts of Miss Flora Wilson, class counselor. -R.

We sincerely hope you will enjoy reading this 1937 publication of El Rodeo -DOTTIE MAE WIET Acknowledgment We of the Editorial staff wish to take this opportunity to thank the merchants for their generous support and willing cooperation. Without their aid it would be impossible for us to have our year book. We also would like to thank the students who bought their books in advance. By their doing this, we were able to estimate fairly accurately how many books to have printed. -DOUGLAS THOMAS ln behalf of the students of the Senior class and myself, I wish sincerely to thank Mr. Meany and the rest of the faculty for their splendid help and advice to us throughout our high school years. We extend special thanks to Miss Norvell, our class counsellor, who has been so much help in making out our programs, checking up on us throughout the year to make sure that we did not fail to obtain the grades required for college standing, and for advising us about our future careers in college.

POYTRESS 0 Q 6 The Student Body of the year 36-37 has been outstanding in athletics, scholarship, and, above all, its display of school spirit. This year the enrollment has been the largest in the history of the school! a little over a thousand. This, naturally, has led to a slight overcowding, in the classrooms and classes. However, the increased enrollment provided for more and better support of the school activities. For the first time in many years, the custom of having a bonfire rally before the Madera game, has been revived. This is an example of the extra- ordinary rise in school spirit over the preceding years. The band and yell leaders and also the girl pep squad helped to organize and increase this fine display of loyalty. I believe that this year, from a Student Body standpoint, has been a most successful one, and I am sure that the class of '37 will not forget their last and perhaps happiest year at Merced Hi. -ROBERT HALL l l A Girls' League Notes President . . . . . .

Many noon and after school dances have been sponsored by the Girls' League. At Thanksgiving and again at Christmas, baskets of food and presents were given to some of those less fortunate. Our annual Hi-Jinx was held April 29. We anxiously waited for May 13, to arrive, for on that date the Chow- chilla Girls' League entertained us by presenting a very enjoyable program. We closed our year of activities and our meetings of good fellowship with a swimming party at Lake Yosemite in the latter part of May. We . , -' ' Bill Howell . Baker Conrad . Beverly Virgo .

Its first year saw it as a Freshman English project, the Second, as a Freshman Paper, in this it has become a school papcr, and its publication developed on a larger scale. At the first of the year came our big Hbreakn in the form of an offer by the Merced Express to publish our material Weekly in a sectioirof that paper. The previous years the typing department had published the paper under extremely difficult conditions, so the new arrangement marked a pro- gressive step toward an established journalism department. This gave us the advantages of frequent and serious publication and, most important of all to us interested in journalism, praetieal experience: Set periods and dead- lines for preparation, and organized selling. Being an extra carriculum activity, we are decidedly kept oeeupied in weekly preparation of material. This year Baker Conrad, a -lunior, was appointed to the staff as a second editor. The lf'reshmen were placed under the direction of the Business Manager and gradually worked into various places on the Staff. To Amy Whitaker we are indebted for thc title of the Paper. Her motif was that the activity, gossip, and publiealion seemed to center around the Corner Corridor portrayed in the block by Helen Parker. -BILL HOVVELI Bus Transportation Merced Union High School can be proud of operating one of the largest bus transportation systems in thc state, covering a radius of twenty-five miles with most distant points at Lingard, El Nido, Atwater, Winton and Merced Falls. Approximately three hundred and fifty students are transported to and from school each day covering a distance of five hundred and forty miles. The drivers, with tl1e exception of 'Frank Silva, -lr., are students. They undergo a strict physical examination by a physician, and both a written and practical examination given hy the State Highway Patrol. The students selected for bus drivers must be in the best of physical condition, and also possess a good sense of responsibility. Every year the fleet is heing improved by the addition of new busses. This reduces the cost ol' maintenance and also adds to the safety of the students. The busses are serviced and repaired by the Auto Mechanics students, under the supervision of Mr. Robles and Frank Silva, Jr., Mr. Covert keeps watch over the tools and supplies. As the school year draws to a close, we are proud of keeping the admirable record of never having a serious accident. -IVAN FERGUSON 0 Q o Driver Route Bus No. Dan Fagundes . . Atwater - - .

Commercial Activities The praeticahility of the commercial course has been proved through the following up of the commercial graduates. Those who want jobs are employed either in Merced or some other city. In previous years Filing and Calculating was a half credit course, requir- ing only a half year to complete it. The book, 'fBusiness Economic Problems, added to the course to make it a whole credit, subject, is studied along with the Calculating. This book is listed as one of the Consumer Education texts. A new electric posting and adding machine has been added to the equipment, making two electric machines, three hand calculators, and one hand-propelled bookkeeping machine. Two tests are given in Filing by the publishing company--the first one on the principles of filing and the second one on the text book as a whole-for which certificates are given if the student makes 9076 or above. Those getting the first certificate were: Cecelia Alves, Eleanor Day, Patricia Hamill, Stephen Jiminez, Doddridge King, Frances Leap, Celia Love, James McKer- ren, Phillip Mussotto, Flora Neves, Cecilia Quinn, Leah Robinson, Ernest Soria, Dorothy Stockton. Those getting the second certificate were: Doddridge King, Phillip Mussotto, Cecilia Quinn, Ernest Soria, Dorothy Stockton. Each month tri-county awards are given to the students of the typing department who write a fifteen minute speed test, attaining any of the various speeds of 30, 40, 50, 60, or 70 words a minute with not more than five errors.

As there was no room in the main building for the extra classes, a small edifice was erected near the cafeteria at a cost of about four thousand dollars. A capable instructor was found in Lynn Vatught who studied Agriculture at Davis and San Luis Obispo. Classes began last September with very little equipment. It was added to until, at present, the equipment is valued at approximately five hundred dollars. It includes, besides text books and and reference books a soil-tester, a milk tester and a farm level outfit. To supplement the regular class work, the students visited various farms and businesses connected with farming. The most memorable of these were the two trips to the Crocker-Huffman meat packing plant. Home work is carried on in the form of projects. Each student who is able, raises some crop or animal and makes regular reports in a record-book as to the growth and condition of the animal or crop he is studying. Several of the most out- standing projects are Thurlow Craft's purebred Holstein bull, Robert Thomas' forty acres of barley, and Roy Enomoto's half acre of peppers. Although more text-books will be supplied for the larger enrollment expected next year, there will be no major enlargements because of lack of funds. R.

Band Notes Due to the untiring efforts of its director, Mr. Kinnee, the Merced High School band has proved that it is a credit to the county as Well as to the school. Early this year the members of the hand gave an entertaining concert to raise money for their new and very colorful uniforms, for which purpose they will also give another concert in May. By playing for athletic events and school rallies. the band has become very popular. As an added honor, when in competition with four other schools on Armistice Day, it was awarded a cup. lf the students continue to support. this organization as well in the future as they are now doing, it will undoubtedly prove to be an even greater success. 0 Q Q BAND MEMBERS Trumpets: Bob Barcroft, Ralph Ewing, Edgar Fink, Savery Gregory, Harry Miracle, Mollie Solari.

The A Capella Choir marehed up the aisles, dressed as ehoir members singing' Christmas Carols. They also sang' during the play, giving it a finished Christmas air and spirit. The seenery, especially the painting of the Madonna, was very effective. EL RODEO for 1937 Will Eller body Pardon My Angle ish?

In the opening game of the season, Merced lost to Ceres. The Bears came back to defeat Mariposa 13 to O. Continuing their winning streak, Merced defeated Livingston and Oakdale. In the annual Modesto game, the game ended with the Bears on the small end of the 19 to 6 score. On Armistice Day, the Mercedites held a powerful Turlock team to a 7 to 6 win. The Bears were expected to be defeated by five touchdowns in this game. On -November 19th, the Madera Wolves defeated Merced 19 to 13 for their first Hwinl' in ten years. Next year, the Bears will have the entire backfield returning and a good part of the line, which all adds up to a bigger and better football team. FOOTBALL LINEUP Ends ........ . .

Girls' Athletics Today, the values of athletics are more and more realized, and during the school year of I-56-337, the girls have shown a keen interest in their gym activi- ties. Each week we follow a very concise and interesting program, carefully planned by Mrs. Stratton. Monday is set aside for ealesthenties, including exereises, posture tests, drills, ELIICT tumbling, which are so helpful in the development of correct posture, accuracy and balance. Tuesday we participate in relays and various games, which train the mind and body to coordinate. .ln addition to necessitating quick thinking, precision, and accurate timing, these games help to develop good sportsmanship which is very essential in all fields of sports. Wednesday is devoted to folk dances and clogs, which aid in the develop- ment of carriage, grace, and poise. Thursday and Friday we partake in the sport of the season, which begins with volleyball. These tournaments are held on the outside courts during the delightful autumn days, amid the thrills of close rivalry and competition. During the dreary Winter days, we enjoy three court basketball, playing on the gym floor. This is our most cherished sport, and no one fails to enjoy this game of speed and skill. Before we take up our final sport, baseball, We have a very short track season, consisting of the baseball throw for distance, 50 and GIRLS' ATHLETICS Ctfontinuedj T5 yard dashes, and relay races. All attempts, up to date, to set new tract records, have been unsuccessful, but hope still lingers that some day-. With the close of the soft-ball baseball, comes the end of a successful sports season. Before each game is undertaken, the fundamental rules are carefully presented by Mrs. Stratton, giving the classes a clear understanding of each activity. Teams are selected for the three sports and a color and captain arc chosen to represent each team. Tournaments are played in each period to determine the champion team, and shortly after, interclass games are held during the noon hour. These are followed in about a week by the interclass varsity playoffs, which always prove exceedingly close and exciting. Even the boys send forth an occasional cheer, and this is something! Eighth hour girls took the honors in volleyball---. Our awards for activities are based on a point system. All girls receiving an A in P. E. four successive quarters are awarded 25 points, each captain of a team receives the same award. The members of a varsity or winning team receive 50 points. while an additional 50 is presented to the players on the winning interclass varsity. 600 points are required for a small M. while a large M necessitates 900. A star is presented for each additional 100 points over 900. Senior girls who have earned awards this year are as follows: Small Letter-Jeannette Krebs, Lillian lloffknecht, Flora Neves, Louise Pellissier. Stars-Ilelen Crookham, Dorothy Estep, Dorothy Randol. ,- Mike: 71 155913 1 af , 55' ' 1 w we Q...
