As a vlass we were the first to clo away with thu initiation ot' frm-sinncn at the Rove-ption. This has proven successful since it has resulted in a largvr attm-mlaiwv and a lwtter time for all. It was our snggvstion to assign sm-ats in that aiulitoriuln. We wish to give our thanks to both our faculty and our community-to tho former for thcir ahlv guidance and patient assistance and to the latter for its ready support of our activities. We hope to prove- worthy ot' tho ativan- tages be-stowed upon us and to he able to someday give material proof of our gratitude. -J OYFE M INOR HUGH CAMPBELL JOYCE MINOR MARGOT RAGSDALE Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Broich, Max Pittsburgh, California General Cameron, Irene Merced, California Commercial Cr, ' ,J Wayne At, er California cadem' C A ie Committees 1, 2, 3 Bonsi, Dorothy Merced, California Commercial Blackston, Mabel Chattanooga, Oklahoma General Bishop, Helen Red Bluff, California Commercial J Girls' League Pres. 4 Girls' Chorus 4 'lf 2'rssemblies 4 El Rodeo 4 Boles, Mary Long Beach, California Entered 3 Academic Volleyball 3, 4 Basketball 3 Girls' League Vice Big Sister 4 Orchestra 3, 4 PWS- 4 Corner Corridor Callahan, Donna Chico, California Academic Girls' Chorus 4 Volleyball 1 Campbell, Hugh Modesto, California Academic Football 1, 2, 3, 4 Track 1, 3 Class Vice Pres. 4 Baseball 4 7 I Cameron, Betty Merced, California Academic Corner Corridor 1, 2, Radio Program 2 Fl Rodeo 4 Hi Jinks 2 Committees 1, 2, 3, chan, ' m reed, ornia Ge al otball 1, 2, 3, 4 and 1, 2, 3, 4 Orchestra 2, 3, 4 Chorus 4 Track 4 4 Assemblies 1, 2, 3, 4 Committees 1, 2, 3 Butle , Lorett Mere , C l ittees 1, 2, 3, 4 Rodeo 4 Hi .links 1, 2, 3, 4 Big Sister 4 , Assemblies 1, 2, 3, I r 1,1 'L' ,V A I Cvegger, Ivan i Merced, California General Band 1, 2, 3, 4 Orchestra 3 Block M 3 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Programs 2, 3 Committees 2, 3 A Capella 3 4 Treas.

Merced Union High School can be proud of operating one of the largest bus transportation systems in the State. With distant points at Lingard, E1 Nido, Atwater, Winton, and Merced Falls, our bus transportation covers a radius of twenty-five miles. Approximately 550 students are given free transportation to and from school over a route of 750 miles a day, with an operating cost of about fifteen cents a mile. In order to become a bus driver, a student must be eighteen years of age and have successfully passed the following tests: A strict written and prac- tical driving examination given by the State Highway Patrol and a complete physical examination given by a physician. Bus repairs are in a large part taken care of by advanced students in our ow11 auto shop. This work is done under the direction of Frank Silva, Jr., and under the supervision of Mr. Fred Robles, our Shop instructor. As our school year draws to a close, we are proud of keeping a perfect record-no accidents. -TONY FAGUNDES Driver Districts or Colonies Bus No. Ogle Robinson . .

SM ' 1 KCLJQAGF The baseball team, although composed mostly of inexprrienceml men, has shown, by winning- eight ont. of the twelve games so far in the season, that it has the spark and ability to continue on to the valley playoffs nnfl, possibly, to the valley championship. As in the past Couch Billy .loerg has lmronght along a green team to the point where it. can win most of its Qf2lllll'S. 'l'l1e lmvk- bone of the team has been the pitching staff, eomposeil of Salvador Olivurez, Johnny Del llotto and Hugh Campbell, that has turned in many excellent per- ioimanees of winning baseball. iJAMES TROUPE The Merced Team, composed of Howard Cullen 1CatcherJ, Salvador Olivarez fpitcherl, Neil Cullen tfirst basel, Ted Moschito tsecond basel, Johnny Del Dotto tthird basel, Peter Sese tshort stopl, Hugh Campbell fleft fieldl, Henry Apodoca I center fieldl, and Bob Hesse fright fieldl, have managed to win ten out of the fourteen games so far and at the present time are pitted against Roosevelt in the semi-finals for the valley championship. If they defeat the Roughriders they will play Taft in the finals. The Bears have beaten Caruthers, Coalinga, Tulare, Ceres, Mariposa, Los Banos, Turlock lsecond gamel, Dos Palos, Livingston, and Chow- chilla. However, the Orange and Black have bowed to the following opponents: Turlock ffirst gamel, Roosevelt tfirst gamel, Delano ifinals in Delano Champion- shipl, and Fresno. PCL C - . .
