McCORY Ten OUR PRINCIPALS QNQJZQQMMM In this book, dedicated to our school and to our boys in the service ot their country, it is only titting that we pay tribute to the many tine qualities they express. Outstanding among these is obedience, which more than all else determines success in the armed torces and in civilian lite. I hope that every boy and girl who plans to enter the armed forces ot the United States, or to talce a place in the industrial world, will learn this lesson before leaving Montebello Senior High School. To be obedient means to be at peace even while in the conflict ot battle: to be disobedient means tailure when you most want to succeed. Goodbye and Godspeed. Lt. Burton P. Hall I am proud ot the tine cooperation ot the Associated Students ot l942-I943 and ot our taculty, so well expressed in our school accomplishments. We have endeavored to advance in our war ettorts as to instruction in classes and in the large number ot students working to release man power. Our school has aimed to teach each student how to think: how to exercise iudgment in his actions based on understanding true values in good daily living, and how to be a contributive citizen to our com- munity. Let us accept our new responsibilities in military service and in worlr situations as a privilege and a challenge to build a better world. Amaricanism is a vision in the brain, a cry in the blood, and a tlame in the heart. Any man who lives it may have it. But the man who lives it not. can never claim it. This is the spirit ot America in which we want to live. May each one ot us do his part. Evetyn Flowers Barnes Eleven :Im1Mf33IeL'LLam1-is sl ML w gl oyrrfp 'M ,Je ff L X16 x vi rf' .f i o z VL?

There is work To do on The baTTleTields, in The TacTories, on The farms, in The homes, and in The schools. Realizing The need for some basic plan for organizing The Thousands of young people who are eager To do Their parT in This emergency, The National Policy Commiffee has recommended The formaTion of a VicTory Corps in every high school of The naTion. The plan is purely volunTary: The Torm of organizaTion is affer a naTional plan, buf There is no naTional organizaTion, as such. Many high schools ThroughouT The counTry have Taken up Their parT in The program by planning Their acTiviTies around High School VicTory Corps, which makes iT possible To uTilize more fully This eagerness To serve, To organize iT inTo efFecTive acTion, To channel iT inTo areas of increasingly criTical need. Two obiecTives of such an organizaTion are To Train youTh for warfime service afTer They leave school and To direcT acTive parTicipaTion of young people in The war efforf of The communiTy while They are in school. To accomplish This end, seven divisions were formed, each wiTh a speciTic aim and a parTicular lisT of qualificafions for membership. The divisions are: Air Service, Land Service, Sea Service, Produc- Tion, General Membership, Girls' MiliTary Service, CommuniTy Service. Members are privileged To wear insignia of Their chosen division as long as They remain in good sTanding. Early in I943 M.S.H.S. ioined The rapidly growing group of parTicipaTing schools and soon The organizaTion was TuncTioning. AfTer The qualificafions of The 280 or more applicanlrs had been checked and eligibiliTy deTermined, our organizaTion was formally launched aT an assembly aT which 258 sTudenTs received Their insignia.

As the first chords were struck, a figure crept across the darkened stage: paused by the foot beating time beneath the piano, and as a flaming match traced in the gloom the path of the tapping foot, the figure receded into the shadows. Faster and faster tumbled the notes from the flying hngers as the flame burned lower: finally the lights went up disclosing Jewel Allen, exhausted, striking the closing notes of Boogie Woogie. Thus began the Junior Talent Show with Ethel Lovers, class president as Master of Ceremonies and members ofthe Junior Class presenting a program of drama, humor, and music. The future will hold varied memories of this occasion. Many might remember the hush of the audience as the last notes ofthe Glory Road , sung by Gene Cates, faded into the echoes: the darkness, broken only by the light from the big bass drum, and the stirring rythmn which swayed and twisted, ebbed and thundered forth from beneath the flashing drumsticks of Logan Hollings- worth, or the surprise that swept the room as Herb Tucker added the closing sentence to a dramatic reading. Some will remember the arrangements played by the Swing Band or Romeo Zabala's singing of Moonlight Becomes You : others will remember, perhaps, June Hart and her accordian or the clear notes of Lenora Williams' voice as she sang. But whatever the memory, this program will always be thought one of the highlights in the activities of the Junior Class of '43. WAYNE MARTIN HAS THE STUFF A variation from the ordinary trend of assemblies was that of Wayne Martin, athletic director, who demonstrated the art of self-defense. Mr. Martin is reputed to have been a star in football, wrestling, track, boxing, gymnastics. baseball, tennis and basketball. According to those who viewed him in action from close range he definitely knows his stuff. With volunteers from the audience he demonstrated the defenses against attack with knife, gun, club or bare hands. It was a program of thrills-for the audience, and spills-for the participants. Armen Abrahamian, president of the student body, found himself crashing to the stage time after time, floored by the speed and skill of the wrestler. Others tried their luck but all met the same fate: impotence. BLIND MUSICIAN ENTERTAINS Pierce Knox, blind xylophone player, was enthusiastically received by M.S.H.S. when he appeared in a program directed b the National Transcribers Society for the Blind, an organization devoted to the helpgof the blind through Braille books. Mr. Knox. who is acclaimed one of the greatest blind musicians, has an extensive repertoire which includes some of the most difficult music written for the xylophone. His numbers inclu e both classi- cal and popular compositions. A part of the program was a demonstration and explanation of the Braille system of writing. This system of impressed ots was illustrated by the use of small lights on a board. As the letters and word symbols were called out, an operater flashed the symbol on the board. Later, books in Braille were displayed to the audience. M.S.H.S. contributions were sufficient to make nearly five Braille books for the ever-growing Braille library. When the books are finished, they will bear an inscription indicating what group made them possible. LUGGAGE DAY Luggage Day, an annual event at many schools, was inaugurated at M.S.H.S. early in March of this year by the Girls' League. kOn this day the girls carry the boys' books and iunk from class to class-if the boys have a tic et. The tickets were sold by the girls at five cents apiece. A girl could carry more than one boy's books if she were that ambitious. No, the girls were not working on a commission basis.

SENIOR GIRLS ENTERTAIN MOTHERS LaughTer reigned as queen aT The senior MoThers-DaughTers parTy. STarTing aT 7:30 p.m. The assembled girls, moThers, and Triends giggled, laughed, and roared as The program prog- ressed.

FiTTy-four Dancing to the melodies of the band that pla s the blues, ParIcay's Rhythms in Blue, approxi- mately 235 students and visitors began the socia year at the Ice-Breaker dance. Cartoons of different students graced the gym at This annual affair which serves each year to acquaint newcomers with M.S.H.S. Celebrating the Oiler football victory over El Monte, alumni and students froliclced and danced to the music of Aris Laird and his Aristocrats of Swing at the Homecoming dance. Theme of this gathering was football. Blue and gold streamers and pom-poms were a baclc- ground for the football equipment hanging around the gym. A dummy dressed in a football uniform was The crowning decorative touch. Santa Claus is Comin To Town, well, ma be that wasn't played at the Christmas-New Year dance at which Parlray's RT1yThms In Blue furnished the music, but an effigy of Old Saint Nick was tlyere. Father Time and Baby New Year were there too, as were many students, alumni, and friends o M.S.H.S. Romance was in the air at the Valentine's Day Sweetheart dance held at The Montebello Women's Club. Gay hearts, red valentines, and a generally romantic feeling held sway throughout This gay evening. With shamroclrs and clay pipes abounding, The Saint Patriclc's Day dance, celebrating both This festive Irish holiday and The end of a gigantic bond sale was held in the gym. Many a colleen said to her lrisher - Shure and l'll dance with ye, me tine bucI:o. Among gay balloons, streamers, and confetti, carnival goers danced to the music of Bob Keclrta and his Rhythm Kings. Yes, it was carnival time at M.S.H.S. Oh, it was leap year for a night at M.S.H.S.-at least as far as a girl grabbing The fella of her choice-which they all did at the Sadie Hawkins dance. The boys were so charming in their calicos, but the same can't be said for the girls in their levis. Bob Keclcta and his Rhythm Kings played at This Board of Representatives-all organizations spon- sored dance. oANcEs i HOMECOMING DAY Triumphing over an old football foe, 24-6, in the best game of the season, the sensational Oiler grid squad broke the twenty-two year iinx that El Monte has held over them as the highlight of Homecoming Day. Other features on the day's program were the Alumni dance, the Alumni tea, a pep rally, open house, and a war bond football auction. The ball was sold to Oleta Slater for SIOOO. THE CARNIVAL Carnival time in May was a gay season for the Oilers. The Tri-Y-Associated Students annual carnival with all its booths, eats, and dancing was easily the gayest, most exciting affair of the season. All sorts of foods were sold, and games were played, with dancing going on in the gym to the music of Bob Keclcta and his orchestra. Different school organizations managed the booths, the Tri-Y being in charge, andthe Associated Students sponsored the dance. THE PROM On a gay evening in June, the junior class played host to the graduating seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. ln keeping with the theme, A Mid-Summer Night, Bob Keclrta and his Rhythm Kings were seated under an arbor covered with flowers and fern, with a piclret fence around the pit. A wishing well was in one corner and garden benches were placed here and there, as were potted palms and other plants. Rosalie Lovers, last year's queen, crowned this year's reigning beauty at Il p.m. before the grand march and the final dance of a long-to-be-remembered evening at the Whittier Women's ASSOCIATED STUDENTS ,CONFERENCE Representatives of the senior high and the tenth grade of the three iunior high schools met in a student conference here in April to discuss M.S.H.S., her activities, traditions and standards. Delegates registered in the rotunda and from There were taken on a tour of the campus. After the tour the guests and entire student body attended the Bulldog Band assembly. The M.S.H.S. representatives and their guests then adjourned to B-I2 where the Oilers painted word pictures of their school's activities, student leadership, responsibilities, and every other phase of life in an active student organization.

Jifxiyw Eighi -Two t VARSITY FOOTBALL This year, the Varsity football squad, built from returning lettermen, had perhaps the best team in the history of Montebello. Experiencing a very fine season with four wins and one loss in league games, the Oilers proved themselves real champions. They excelled with victories over Covina, Mon- rovia, Burbank and El Monte in succession, and came the closest ever to a League Championship. MONTEBELLO 24 COVINA 0 The Oiler machine got off with a bang by rolling over Covina 24-0 in the first league game. Having found their stride, Montebello scored in every quarter. First tally was made by Nick Eropkin, crashing through center. Next honors of the day went to Tony Skarich, end, who caught a beautiful pass made by Del Cook. The next two touchdowns were made by Del Cook due to his beautifu broken field running. MONTEBELLO I9 MONROVIA I3 The Oilers played rather poor ball during the first two quarters, the half ending, Monrovia I3, Montebello 6. The score stayed at this until the fourth period when the Oilers really started to move. With Montebello's line pushing Monrovia's all over the field, Delbert Cook Istar ball packerl went over for two touchdowns. This was done in three very startling and showy runs totaling I I5 yards. The outstanding defensive player in this game was Nick Eropkin. Honors of the day went to Del Cook on the offensive. MONTEBELLO 6 BURBANK 0 Here the boys played against their old coach of last year. Duffy Lewis, and there was as much rivalry as in an EI Monte game. ln the first quartar, although no scoring was done, Burbank had the ball almost every second, with Montebello making two goal-line stands. In the second and third quarters the Oilers made several good drives, but were set back by fumbles and a few penalties. Jack Goss, hard charging Oiler end, caught two beautiful passes for long gains, but the Bulldogs still held. ln the final quarter Del Cook went off right tackle for the lone tally of the game. MONTEBELLO Z4 EL MONTE 6 Defying a twenty-two year old jinx, the Oiler machine smothered the Lions 24-6. We don't know what caused this triumph, but the varsity men say, lt was because of our long beards and spirit. Starting off with a bang in the first quarter, Montebello scored two touchdowns in the first seven minutes of play. A pass from Eropkin to Goss a'1d a lateral to Cook was the first tally. The next one was Eropkin over center. ln the second hall a long pass from Antelope Cook to Skarich resulted in the third touchdown. After a terrific dawn-field march, Nick Eropkin made the fourth one driving over center. Honors on the line, botli on offensive and defensive playing, went to Herb Wilson, tackle, and Ed Fyson, center. 4 FIRST STRING Back raw, Armen Abrahamian, Nick Eropkin, Delbert Cook.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The varsity basketball team breezed through a season ot 24 games with I9 wins and 5 losses to take the San Gabriel Valley League championship and Southern Calitornia's most coveted honor, the C.I.F. minor division championship. They didn't waste any time in getting under way, as they took the consolation prize in the Pasa- dena Victory Tournament with 4 wins out ot 5, dumping Mark Keppel twice and Burbank and Glene dale Hoover, and losing only to Glendale who eventually went to first place in the tourney. MONTEBELLO 36 MONROVIA Z5 As the league opened, the Oilers started right to work with a 36-26 win over the Monrovia Wild- cats, who kept neck and neck with them until the closing moments ot the halt when Montebello surged ahead to a I7-I2 lead. The Oilers held a comfortable lead trom 'then on. MONTEBELLO 45 COVINA 22 The Varsity waded right through the Colts with a variety of attacks, tirst tast, then slow and methodical, and walked away with a 45-22 triumph. Herb Wilson and Del Cook, Oiler pivot man and forward, seemed to profit on the different phases ot the attack. Wilson scored I4 points on the slow break, and Cook trailed him with I3. on the tast attack, MONTEBELLO 52 BURBANK 35 The Bulldogs' well-drilled quintet had the Oilers on the defensive until the start ot the second quarter when the Montebelloans slipped into high and annexed the contest. Herb Wilson, center, directed his tip-in talents to the ottensive aspects ot the game and con- tributed 26 points as his teammates really passed the ammunition. MONTEBELLO 40 EL MONTE 39 After one false start that was rained out, Montebello eked out a 40-39 decision over the Lions that gave them the S.G.V.L. title. In the deciding game the lead see-sawed beck and torth, with the Oilers predominating during the second halt. El Monte rallied in the closing moments ot the contest but the Oilers were able to put the skids under the Lions' bid for victory by freezing the ball the last ten seconds.

VARSITY TRACK The track season this year was exceptionally good, considering that it starred mostly juniors. Winning one track meet, with Whittier High School, and tying Covina, the Montebello cindermen placed fourth in the league tinals. Burbank took us in the tirst league meet, 62lf2 to 4llf2. We put up a good showing though. The all around athlete ot the year, Del Cook, took a tirst place in the century at IO tlat and first in the quarter mile and broad jump. El Monte bumped us with a 56V2 to 47lf2 victo'y. Dick Rasmussen, a veteran trom last year, took a tirst in the high jump. Cook a ain took tirsts in the IOO, 440, and broad jump. The relay was taken by the Montebello quartet, Auget, Peterson, Barnes. and Cook. The meet with Whittier was the highlight of the year, with a 70 to 33 victory. Audet took the 220: Luizzi, the 880: Rasmussen, the high jump: Peterson, the l20 low hurdles: Eropkin, the broad jump: Haueter. the mile: and Cook, the I00 and 440. South Pasadena, with its usually strong team, took the Oilers 75 2f3 to 28 2f3. Nick Eropkin took the broad jump and Cook the l0O. The Tigers went on to take the league. Two meets were postponed earlier in the season and Coach Peterson was able to make un the one with Covina. This final meet tor the whole squad ended in a 52-52 deadlock as each side took six tirst places. The most important cinder struggle ot the year was the all-league meet. Montebello placed tourth. Our relay team was third. Dick Cope placed tourth in the 880: Del Cook took tirst place in the IOO, and second in the 440 and broad jump, to cop the high-scoring honors. The outstanding athlete ot' the season, both at Montebello and in the league tinal, was Delbert Cook. Two victories for the Oilers were garnered by Del who won the IOO, placed second in the shot put jwhat can't he doj, and outdistanced the leag e champ, Ray Petittils, in the broad jump. Nick Eropkin, Oiler all around man. took a tlinj at hurdling and swept to a tirst in the lows in the good time ot l3.9 seconds. Frank Luizzi, made-over halt miler, churned oFf the 440 in 55 seconds. Jack Haueter went the distance in the mile and led his nearest opponent by 220 yards. Jimmie Evans, Gale O'Bryan, and Carl Schy, p'aced in Varsity competition. Del Cook went on trom this last meet to enter the C.l.F. sectional meet which was held at El Monte. He was high scorer at the all-league meet and averaged I3 points in duals, so he's almost certain to place third or above and go to the C.l,F. Finals held at Glendale Hoover. Del ran the IOO, 440, and broad jump. Although the war will take its toll ot Montebello's sports power, the Oilers can be contident ot a '44 squad of all-around strength. More power will be added to the returning lettermen by this year's B's and the new tenth and eleventh grades.

Such might be a fitting way to refer to the I943 edition of the Oiler raclceteer eleven. The local team's man-power short- age really hit the squad's title chances a telling b'ow, to quote Coach Lester K. Gates, local men- tor, who has successfully coached Oiler tennis teams to 6 varsity and 4 iunior varsity S. 6. V. L. team cham ionships since he started guiding the destinies of net teams at Montebello Senior High School exactly a decade ago, This season nearly 90 per cent of the senior squad, or varsity team, were lost prior to the start of the I943 league campaign, thus leaving only one returning varsity letterman, namely Co-Captain Philip Wilson, from the I942 squad. This left only green material from the incoming iunior class from which to fill out an eleven in a brief period of time, Prospective senior material was lost when hall a dozen of the top-ranking senior players entered either the navy or army reserve, choosing either Whittier College or U.S.C. tor morning classes, thus being ineligible according to the C.l.F. standards of requiring attendance of at least three classes at the local prep institution per day. Moreover, the draft and part-time employment also tool: a heavy toll from the older boys' ranlcs. However, an aggressive group of juniors, lei by Co-Captain Don Oblad, filled in and did nobly in spite of their lack of competitive inter-school experience so necessary to meet our league competition. The strongest line-up included in the singles positions: Phil Wilson, Paul Fox, Don Oblad, Herb Tyler, Ray Bateman and Dick Stabnau, while the first two doubles were usually made up from John MacCrorie, Charles Hammond, Dave West and Doug Taylor, The third doubles was quite often a toss-up as to who received the call. Wendell Dain, Paul Linam. Hugh Richards, Robert Hansen, and Power Kim were all included in vario.is tandems for this part of the team. As this article was going to press, the Oiler nztmen stood a better than even chance of getting a second place in the league running, providing they could get over the next meet with South Pasa dena. Both of these teams had previously dropped team matches to the El Montdffigions by the identical scores of 7 to 4. Other team matches in:ludad the following scores: M.S.l-LS. 5. Cathedral 4: M.S.H.S. 6, Mark Keppel 5: M.S.l'l.S. 4, lvlarli Keppel 7: M.S.H,S. 0. Beverly Hills ll: M.S.H.S. 4, Excelsior 7: M.S.H.S. 3, Burbank 8: M.S.H.S. 3, Monrovia, I lcalled, rainl: lv1,S.H.S. vs. Covina. post- poned, to be played later in season. No iunior varsity league games were scheduled for the dura- tion of the present war emergency. Ninety-one Back row: Harold Larimore, Diclr Williams, Ernest Villa, Bob Hadley, Carl Kraushaar, Herb Wilson, Louis Johnson, George Contreras, Paul Champieux. Front row: Bob Frees, Fred Brew- ster, Bob Schaefer, Max Cox, Joe Gordon, Clem Lincicum, Vincent Olague, Wayne Sanderlin lManagerl, Coach Planlc. BASEBALL This year the baseball squad had an up and down season, winning and losing irregularly. When Coach Planlc called tor diamond candidates, there were only tour lettermen remaining from last year's excellent team. They were: Ernie Villa, shortstop-pitcher: Herb Wilson, catcher: Paul Champieux, center tielder-pitcher: and Fred Brewster, tirst saclxer-catcher. Up to the time the Golden Key went to press, Montebello had beaten Mark Keppel, Whit- tier, and Downey, and had lost to Bell, Monrovia, Burbanlr, San Diego Hoover and Glendale Broadway, the latter two being met in the Pasadena Victory Baseball tournament. In addition to the tour hold-overs from last year's club the tollowing men saw tairly regu- lar service: Earl Hadley, tirst base: Bob Frees, second base: Bob Schaefer, third base: Max Cox, shortstop: Carl Kraushaar, Clem Lincicum and Harold Larimore, outtielders: Vince Olague, util- ity: and Dick Williams and Carl Koonce. pitchers. The main tault ot the team was its very erratic baseball. ln one game the Oilers would play championship bell and in the next combine errors and wealc batting to lose to interior opponents. Montebello's swatsmen started the season with a 7-6 triumph over Marlr Keppel. ln the second game Bell proved too strong and Montebello bowed I3-3. Later in the season the Oilers topped Downey 3-2: torrnerly the Norsernen had been nosed out by Bell by the close score ot 5-4. Atter the Bell game the Oilers went wild to wallop Whittier Il-4 on I3 safeties, and the very next game Montebello got only tive hits oft Monrovia and played sloppy ball to lose the hrst league contest 7-5. ln the Pasadena tournament they were shaded 2-I by San Diego Hoover who later went on to win the tournament. Atter the brilliant pertormance against San Diego, in which Ernie Villa held the Hooverites to two hits, Montebello threw away the second league contest with Burbank and its chance tor league supremacy. The score was I I to I, with six errors tor the local team. ln the third league game. the Oilers bowed to El Monte 7 to 2 as the defense tell apart and the Oilers made seven errors to give the Lions tour unearned runs. Next season the Montebelloans can expect a good team. tor the maiority ot this year's squad is composed ot juniors. The '44 nine should have a tight infield made up ot this year's veterans, Schaeter, Fox. Frees, and Hadley. A real addition to the pitching statt will be Carl Koonce, speed specialist, who, with more experience, will have lots on the ball. The outfield will boast Carl Kraushaar. Since tenth grade will probably be up next year as well as the Juniors, talent can be expected trom that quarter.
