Old friends seem to grow in stature, and the memories of our youth take on a deeper sig- nificance. It is because of this that your school year- book will increase in value with the passing years. What amuses you today, as you leaf through its pages, will have a far richer mean- ing when viewed from the vantage point of more mature years. To those of you who are graduating, I want to wish the maximum fulfillment of your every hope and dream. It is the sincere hope of the people of your school that your ex- periences at Modesto High School have been both pleasant and profitable. L. L. JONES Principal ' •.

Be- fore the change, the first team consisted of Russ Reynolds, Bob Ustick, Bill Wetmore, John Mat- tel, and Bill Christie. All but Christie and Mat- tel graduated in January, but Denton Williams, Tom Holloway, Bill Allsup and Arnold Blank moved up to fill in the graduates positions. The team showed clean sportsmanship and a fight- ing spirit throughout the season. These boys will all return next year with the absence of Blank, whose position will probably be filled bv Ken Geist. The hottest game this season was the one with Lodi at Modesto. Modesto led the first three quarters of a fast moving, exciting game, until in the last quarter Lodi moved up to win by only one point.

They lost to Stockton twice, and to Lodi twice also. The first team consisted of Jerry Streeter, Norman Santos, Bob Stewart, Cecil Ritz, Homer Walker, and Kenny McGee. Homer Walker replaced Dick Hughes in the middle of the season. Streeter was the outstanding Modesto player. Next year Streeter will move up to the A team. Santos made next to the high- est point average on the team. At the start of the season the B ' s were beating all opposition, until they trav- eled to Stockton for their first league game. Modesto was leading at the half but lost the game by the score of 54 to 53. All in all, Modesto enjoyed the season, even though four games were lost. Manager GARY SMITH THE B SQUAD.

Despite pre-season comment that the team lacked the enthusiasm shown by the championship pre- decessors, hopes and spirits soared high following impressive wins over Vallejo and Pittsburg. Vallejo fell 26-0 and the Panthers dumped Pittsburg .53-19. But victory was short-lived in the competition of the potent Sac-Joaquin league: the Panthers fell before Sacramento, Turlock, and Stockton before snuffing the Lodi Flame 7-0 for their first and final league win.

After a hard-fought contest the Woodland Wolves dumped the locals by the nar- row margin of 20-18. Fullback Scott was injured in the game, and Panther victory hopes dwindled. Thanksgiving Day found Modesto-invading Tur- lock only to lose the traditional classic to the south- ern rival, 18-6.

With the entire music department, the chorus appeared in the annual Music Festival in May. Besides giving a radio broadcast, the group re- ceived many invitations to perform for various iiurch organizations. The Madrigal Singers, a mixed octet fr(jm A ( ' appella, also made several appearances. The honor society of the music department is the Mu Eta Sigma.

A new club, it promises to go far in its service and value to history students, major or se- quence. The studies in the various his- tory classes provide excellent back- ground for participation in club forums. A large variety of topics is studied in Civics to give a rounded program. The course ends with the study of the United Nations. MISS ADELINE ROSEBROCK ' S WORLD AFFAIRS CLASS Page 66 SOCIAL STUDIES MRS.

Many students this past year, though, have maintained their membership. Life membership was even attained by some. Many club events took place this year, mainly social activities. Modesto was host to a large district meeting and attended one at Washington Union High School in Centerville. And then was the big event of the year, the day when all C. S.

Keeping in mind its goal of maintaining good public relations within the commu- nity, the Press Club has had a busy year. And with Mr. W. C. Jumper as adviser, the group feels that the goal has been reached. To make up its membership, five per- sons each are elected from the Broadcast and Sycamore staffs. To be eligible, students must have at least a B average in upper division jour- nalism. The staffs then elect their most valuable members to the club.

To produce a paper by the stu- dents for the students is the aim oi the Broadcast staff. Under the • direction of Mr. W. C. Jumper that is just what the staff did this year. And very well, too, Com- plete coverage of all news and school activities and pictures cf them was the main goal, with many interesting side-lights to brighten things up. A part of the English department, journalism is a laboratory course. That is, the students learn and do the actual publishing at the same time. Two journalism conferences highlighted the past year for some staff members. The first one at Stanford University was attended by Broad- cast members, Marlyce Hess, Rudy Sanfilipo, and Bill Simmons. Rudy Sanfilippo and Bill Simmons represented the Broadcast at the second conference at Fresno State University. Fall co-editors Rudy Sanfilippo and Bill Simmons had as their staff Marlyce Hess, news editor; Donna Merrill, feature edi- tor; Cheryl Fantazia and Russ Reynolds, sports editors; Lois Andres, advertising manager; and Mary Just, busi- ness manager. Lew Patterson and George Holt did the photography work. Fall staff reporters were Kathleen King, Martha Oaks, Dorothy Silva and Darleen Buffington. Coming back as spring editor Rudy Sanfilippo made a few staff chang es. Mary Serra and Bill Simmons were made sports editors, Kathleen King became copy editor with three assistants, and Ed Maurice took over as busi- ness manager. Ken Hilliard was added as a photographer. Reporters for the spring semester were Dolores Condit, Anita Richardson, Carmelita Mallea, Joan Karsten, Joann Codiga, Gloria Alves, Betty Jean Powell and Phil Mc- Cormick.

PUBLICATIONS SVCAMOIiE ADVISiDK Mr. Will .lumper and Business Man;iger Cheryl Fantazia. Using as its theme the discovery of gold in 1848, the 1948 Sycamore staff has put out what it believes to be a very worthy book. Under the capable editorship of Donna Merrill, an able staff did its very best in trying to compile the bestest book ever . Moments highly hilarious or heartbreaking were experienced by all, but the fervent hope that the results will be considered worth the efforts over- ruled all other emotions. During the fall semester two journalism conferences were attended by members of the staff. Representing the Sycamore at Stanford University were Donna Merrill, Shirley Baker, and Russ Reynolds. Traveling to Fresno State University for the second conference was Donna Merrill. Donna also participated in a radio broadcast from there, which was presented over station KMJ. Neewollah Nuf was the name of the Halloween dance given October 31 after the Modesto-Lodi football game. The purpose of this was to help raise money to finance this yearbook. Money was also raised by selling programs at football games, operating a booth for Frolic Day, and sponsoring a variety show. The staff remained the same all year except for two mid-term graduates and additions made in the spring semester. With Russ Reynolds as associate editor. Donna named her staff thus: Cheryl Fantazia, business manager; Marlyce Hess, copy editor; Pete Baird, photographer; Joice Johnson, photography editor; Betta Born, girls ' sports; and Ira Geist, boys sports editor. Art was done by Shirley Baker and Ed Hayes, while Bob L. Miller drew the cartoons. Spring staff additions were Nancy Wagner, Margaret Reedy, Nina Able, Bob Jones, and Phil McCormick.

A model of the proposed Me- morial Hospital was constructed by the advanced mechanical drawing class. Eigh- teen boys from Mr. Ernest Goodwin ' s classes erected a full-sized club house in Enslen Park. Under the direction of Mr. Jack Men- caccy, the aeronautics classes completely rebuilt, recovered, and gave a one hundred hour check on the engine of a plane owned by a local businessman. The printing of forms for MHS was done by the print sh op boys and Mr. Sam Price. WORKING ON A CAR TRADES AND INDUSTRIES A ' ORKING ON AN AIRPLANE With their annual banquet in January as the main event of the year, the Crafts- man Club was by no means inactive this year. With the Girls ' Athletic Association, they co-sponsored a dance after the Modesto- Woodland football game. The organization made seven hundred and fifty dollars in the fall semester alone by printing and selling programs and sell- ing reserved seats at football games. Club officers for the ' 47- ' 48 school year were Bill Richardson, president; Gary Parker, vice-president; and Ralph Bam- bacigno, secre;:ary-treasurer. MR.

These are the secretarial course, bookkeeping, store service, and general clerical course. The gen- eral clerical course, new this year, presents office work without shorthand. The demand for shorthand and typing makes it necessary to make the department even larger next year. Awards were given for typing, in which speed and accuracy were emphasized. In the spring the 12A seniors took a National Clerical and Ability Test to see how they rated nationally. Transcrip- tion awards were given to shorthand students whose speed merited them, while bookeeping majors earned awards in their field. MR.

During the war years it had been disbanded, and was re-organized last year. The group numbered fifty juniors and seniors both in the fall and spring semesters. Many social events were held by the club during ' 47- ' 48. A reception was held for new members in Octo- ber to acquaint them with group functions. They had a Christmas party, and in February there was an ice skating party. In May was a fare- well get together for the graduating seniors. Also during the year field trips, locally and out- of-town, were made by the members at which time they went through business offices and inspected office procedures.

Its members participat- ed in six interschool events at Tracy, Modesto, Ripon, Modesto, Fresno State, and the College of the Pacific. N. F. L.

With the announcement of Coach Margaret Painter ' s resignation, in her honor the League members success- fully engineered a surprise reunion dinner which was attended by more than seventy of her former honor speak- ers. As the club ' s original sponsor and the supervisor of most of the school ' s speech activities, the N. F. L. will certainly miss her. If anyone wants a speech made to raise money, to cele- brate a patriotic holiday, or to enlighten the public about the school, he calls on the Speakers Bureau. In the first semester this group gave innumerable appeals and presented an elaborate radio program in the cam- paign for the Modesto Mem- orial Hospital. Members of the class participated in speaking contests sponsored by the Lions ' Club and the Native Sons of the Golden West, as well as in debate, declamation, oratory, and ra- dio speaking contests in interscholastic high school tour- naments. Panel discussions on the controversial subject, Does the high school student know the value of the dollar. ' ' were given before the high school and elementary school Parent Teachers ' Associations. And as their most am- bitious project, a series of ten weekly programs featuring school activities was presented by the Speakers ' Bureau over KTRB. BELOW: Pat Mor- gan, .Tim Reinert- ■■ on.

Mrs. Evelyn Hanshaw heads this depart- ment, and teaches English Masterpieces. The annual school play, this year, Seven Sisters , was the primary effort of the drama department. The cast included such outstand- ing dramatic students as Nadine Moore, Charleen Bertolani, and Bill Armell. It was directed by Mr. Greydon Milam, instructor of dramatics. Also under the direction of Mr. Milam, the classes presented a few one-act plays and declamations, which were given to community groups and at various speech festivals. Mr. Milam coached the participants of the school operetta, The Mikado, in their acting. FALL WRITERS ' CLUB; Top row, left to right: Dick Simp- son.

Mr. Will Jumper and his Creative Writing class wrote a few comic lines for the op- eretta. This writing class also made up a radio script having to df) with the com- ing of the Freedom Train to Modesto. It was presented over station KTRB by the Speakers ' Bureau. Modesto High speakers carried away honors in the various fields offered them. Marian Phoenix, Ed Hayes, Jim Reinertson, and Glen Sauls were all outstanding in this field, while Marlene Derivi carried away honors in the Lions Club Contest. After winning the regional and zone contests, she went to Santa Barbara with Miss Painter, speech coach, and participated in the semi-finals. i MR.

Ten credits in science are required for grad- uation from high school. This requirement may be satisfied either with the biological sciences or the physical sciences. The fresh- man science course is general science and the sophomore course biology, with the other sciences available for juniors and seniors. The Modesto High School Wildlife Club was organized in October, 1947, for the pur- pose of bringing together all boys who are interested in wildlife biology as a career. Free trips taken to suitable habitat areas here in the valley, trips to universities, and an annual overnight field trip were some of the activi- ties participated in by the members.

Mrs. Ida Gross ' s encouragement and enthusiasm in this field bring out the creative ability of her students. The applied art classes, under the .supervision of Mrs. Isabel Schrock, have accomplished beau- tiful work in leathercraft, stencil- ing, modern art, ceramics, and wood carving. Color, design, and emphasis on the basic principles of structure are developed. In the commercial art depart- ment, a newcomer. Miss Jean Ariey, has created interest in mod- ern advertising and poster work. The Art Department has brought considerable attention to itself because of its outstanding work and skilled supervision.

During the football and basketball seasons there were many pep game rallies which gave the student body even greater spirit. The National Talent Assemblies sent to us professional per- formers with outstanding entertain- ment. Since this ranged from magicians to musicians, the assemblies were en- joyed by all. Local talent also was displaved at the annual Freshman-Sophomore as- sembly, which carried through the cen- tennial idea. Because of the lack of an auditorium, the boys ' gym was overcrowded during assemblies, but this didn ' t hinder the enjoyment of the program by the stu- dent body.
