OVERMAN lN CONTRAST fo fhe world of business and indusfry, school condifions were never so favorable as fhey have been fhis year. Never before have pupils been so responsive, so co-operafive and so ready fo make fhe mosf of fheir opporfunifies. During fhe year if has been found necessary fo reduce school expendifure greafly, buf fhis sacrifice in maferial fhings seems fo have been more fhan compensafed for by beffer affifudes and beffer co-operafion on fhe parf of pupils. , This improved affifude has been especially noficeable in fhe acfivify life of fhe school. Alfhough, in many cases, you have been forced fo work wifh a budgef less fhan half as large as in former years, fhere has been no decrease in your parficipa- fion and inferesf. Af presenf our governmenf officials are experimenfing wifh a new deal which is nofhing more fhan an affempf fo balance fhe budgef wifhouf sacrifice of wor'l'h while governmenfal acfivifies. You have solved fhe same problem in your sfudenf body acfivifies fhis year. ln looking ahead fo nexf year you will expecf fo make sfill furfher reducfions in sfudenf body expendifures, buf if fhe experience of fhis year is a criferion you will sfill have an increase in inferesf and enfhusiasm and beffer co-operafion in all acfivify work. . .i is 442 by dminisflfaiion Vice-Prim:ipaI's Message MISS DAVIS FACING FORWARD, fhe moffo of fhis year's Sycamore, is af once an epifome of fhe acfivifies of fhis presenf year, a slogan which indicafes fhe view-poinf of fhe sfudenfs of fhe Modesfo High School, and a descripfion of fhe spirif fhaf lives in Modesfo High School. During fhe pasf year fhere has been in Modesfo High School no depression of spirifs, of moods nor of morale. ln all classroom enferprises, and in all exfracurricular acfivifies, sfudenfs and faculfy alike have been facing forward. We have been able fo rise above fhe life sifuafions fhaf are pasf fo face wifh courage and eagerness whafever condifions may be ahead. These are excifing, momenfous days. Hisfory is being made righf now, and we are parficipafing in fhe making of if. We are re- ioicing in fhe consciousness fhaf youfh has a vifally imporfanf place in fhe new deal. We face forward, nof in relucfance because we musf, buf in delighf because we have confidence in fhe fufure. The Sycamore has given us a vanfage poinf on which we may sfand and cry as Columbus did, Land ahead . Lef us, as sfudenfs and faculfy, accepf fhe challenge given us by fhe sfaff. Lef us fruly face forward as individuals and as fhe greaf co- operafing family of Modesfo High School. I ,, -- l l K3 2: Associafed Sludenfs GRATTAN HOGIN THE Associafed Sfudenfs have had a prosperous year alfhough handicapped by a decreased budgef. The parficipafion in sporfs fhis year was more general fhan ever before. Even fhough a championship foofball feam was nof produced, fhe loyalfy of fhe sfudenfs was shown by fhe large number fhaf affended fhe games. The baskefball season was very successful as if produced fwo champions and fwo runners-up. The frack feam won fhe Norfhern C. l. F. championship and added an- ofher permanenf frophy. The agriculfure boys confribufed fheir share of honors won. ln public speak- ing, fhe debafe feam did nof fare so well, buf in fhe Lowell High debafes, sopho- more debafes, exfemporaneous speaking confesf, and oraforical confesf, a safisfacfory record was made. The dramafic producfions of fhe year were successes. The Associafed Sfudenfs inaugurafed a new program of infroducing freshmen fo fhe school and ifs acfivifies. A new mefhod of insfalling officers in fhe sfudenf governmenl' was adopfed af fhe spring elecfion. The award sysfem was revised in several places and a commiffee is working on furfher revisions. The curfailmenf of fhe budgef caused fhe execufive commiffee fo economize in many ways. The Associafed Sfudenfs will be under fhe leadership of Andrew Berfucci and Jean Allderdice nexl' year. Alfhough fhe pospecfs are fhaf fhe buclgef will be slashed. furfher, fhey plan a full program of sfudenf acfivifies.

The boys, alfhough inexperienced, worked hard and by 'lhe end of 'lhe season had probably fhe sfrongesi 'leam in +he league. Their greaiesl' disadvanfage was +heir slow developmenf, which was severely 'Fell' in fhe firsi' few games. ln fhese games much enfhusiasm was shown buf a+ +he cri+ical momeni, while in fhe shadows of +he goal pos+s, many errors were made, usually cosi- ing 'l'hem 'l'he game. They showed iheir 'rrue sfrengih near The end of 'lhe season by defeafing such 'leams as Hilmar and Escalon by scores of 20-0. Four oiher games were los'l' by +he coun+y gridders. From all appearances if seems 1'ha+ +his squad should form a slrong reserve for nex+ year's varsi+y. cc 34 up Lighfweighl' Foofball THE lighfweighf feam, coached by Cham A+wood, was by far fhe mos+ suc- cessful Team, as 'Far as winning games is concerned, of any orher on 'l'he campus. The ream playing in some of 'Phe s+iFFes+ compe+i+ion +ied for 'l irs+ place honors in 'rhe C league. The games were feaiured wi+h hard, deliberale playing, equaling 'lhe skill and polish of 'l'he heavier reams. Johnny Quaresma proved 'ro be a power house a+ 'Full- back, scoring many limes on o'FF-+aclcle plays and end runs. The 'leam won all i+s games by large scores excepl' 'lwo ries wi+h ihe Oakdale Musiangs. The lighiweighrs will nor prac+ice during six+h period nexl year and will be chosen under a new classilicafion which will enable many experienced men +o parficipale in +his class longer. cc 35 79 5 Foofball THIS was Modes1'o's mos? decisive defeat The Panfhers, alfhough discouraged, decided +ha+ ii was no dishonor 'ro lose fo such a wor'I'hy feam. Modes'I'o showed her firsl real sirengih againsi' Madera, even 'lhough a 6-0 lead was all ihai could be gained. Her power plays funciioned perfecily, alihough con- 'rinual fumbling prevenied +he red and black machine from scoring ai' fhe cri+ical momen+. The Panihers enfered 'I'he game wi+h Lodi ra'I'ed as decisive underdogs. The Flames boasfed several friple 1'hrea'r men buf, as ii' developed, +hese men were boH'led up so 'righ+ly 'lha'I' 'ihey never broke away. As a resul+, when Modesfo finally look +he offensive in 'lhe Third quarier, +he 'fables were complefely iurned. The Panfhers pushed over +wo 'I'allies, while +he Flames were making bui one. The game ended wi+h Modesio leading I3-6. cc 36 by 1 --- -f-1 Fooiball Af Sacramenfo fhe Panfhers were greefed wifh probably fhe besf passing affaclc ever sfaged by fhe Dragons. Modesfo was unable fo sfop fhis aerial affaclc which gave her opponenfs fhree scores. The defense for running plays was a greaf feafure on bofh sides. Neifher side could advance on power plays excepf when Modesfo made her lone fally on reverse plays. The final game was, of course, wifh Turlock, Modes'l'o's fradifional rival. The Panfhers predominafed every phase of fhe game, gaining yard affer yard wifh ease. Before fhe final gun, Modesfo had gained a lead of 20-0, and had become, for fhe fhird consecufive year, champions of fhe Soufhern league.

The Panfhers scored fwo wins over fhe highly favored Manfeca Buffaloes, who were league champions from fhe lasf year and were expecfed fo repeal' fheir pre- vious performance.
