The buildings furnish the home for the school but the faculty and the classes form the important part. The faculty and classes create school life. V Mr. James C. Nisbet A message from our Principal The old conception of school was that it was a preparation for life. In these more modern times we have come to recognize that school is not only preparation for life, but that school is life itself. For in the school, especially the high school we find every situation confronting the student that confronts the adult person in real life, the difference being that in school the student has the advantage of expert guidance and advice and is gradually trained into the proper channels of thought and conduct. Here then is the opportunity for the student to make those necessary ad-justmens that will mean happiness and contentment in future years as well as ability to maintain oneself in economic independence. Here the mind can be trained to function properly, the body can be tra ned to radiate health and vigor, and character can be made to become the cornerstone of your spiritual building. Your studies, your athletics, your dramatics and your social functions are all a part of that preparation. How far they can be made to serve your ends depends on you. The most important person in the world to you is yourself. Be the kind of a person yourself wants you to be. May your school life be profitable and enjoyable.

Home Long ago in an Eastern state Where the hills are green with grass, There's a little house In a quiet town The little gray house is built of stone On the crest of a wooded hill, And I see the woods Across the road Where I often roamed at will. And the house is set in a spacious lawn Where I often used to play. There were flower beds And a lily pond--I’m going back there some day.

Bidwell Bar Marshall Chapman, Farming, Oroville The Alpha The Alpha is published to furnish a record of school life for its readers. It is a student activity and represents the work of a great many interested individuals. The Alpha is one of the few yearbooks of California printed at the school by the students themselves. This year the cuts used for the cover and division pages were not only designed by students of the Art Department, but linoleum blocks were cut by them and the printing done directly from these blocks. Much credit is due all the students who have shown their interest by working with the staff. It is this spirit of cooperation that is the keynote of our school life.

Also a wide variety of books, magazines, and pamphlets of varying merit have been submitted from time to time to the club for its approval. The meetings are marked with variety and interest and it is believed to be one of the most worth-while clubs in the school. tl Aviation Club The aviation club of our school was organized last semester through the efforts of Mr. Nisbet and Mr. Watts to encourage interest in commercial aviation. A large group of boys attended, but no girls, although there are many opportunities for girls in the different branches of aviation. “Hangar Gang’’ was adopted as the name of the organization. Officers for the year were elected as follows: Mr. Watts, adviser: Richard Peterson, pres.: Vivian Lambert, vice-president: Walter Reese, secretary. Our activities have been somewhat limited due to difficulties in arranging meetings. One of the most interesting and valuable, however, was our trip out to inspect the various types of aircraft which were used in the First Northern California Air Tour which landed at the local airport. We were fortunate in having Mr. Walter Van Haitsma. representing the Boeing Air School to speak at one meeting. His topic was “The Importance of Education in Commercial Aviation.'' El Circulo Espanol The Spanish Club began this year's activities in September with Gilmore Hislop, as president: Ralph Brereton, vice-president: Adrian Ford, secretary. Our teacher, Miss Huddleston, is the club adviser. The purpose of the club is to become better acquainted with the language and customs of Spanish speaking peoples. To do this foreign correspondence is carried on through the World League of International Education Associations of which the club is a member. Many charming letters have been received and great interest shown. Our letters in Spanish and theirs in English provide an effective means for us all to improve our use of the languages. The crowing event of the Spanish Club was the annual Fiesta. The members came to school during the day dressed in gay Spanish costumes. Later a dinner with a truly Spanish menu was served in the cafeteria, during which Spanish songs were sung. A speech was given by Miss Huddleston, although many are still puzzled as to what she said, as it was entirely in Spanish. Following dinner a dance was held in the auditorium which had been beautifully decorated with serpentine, crepe paper and many colored balloons. It seemed almost as if a bit of old Spain itself had been transplanted inbo the colorful hall. Everyone came in brilliant costume and all entered into the spirit of the Fiesta. The members of the club claim that the success attained by the Spanish Fiesta this year is a challenge to all future Spanish Clubs. The Latin Club The main function of the Latin Club is the Roman Banquet. The Banquet is held in the auditorium sometime during the spring semester. The second year Latin students, who are masters.are dressed in brightly colored togas, while the freshmen students, who are slaves, wear dark colored costumes. The food is brought in courses from the cafeteria by the slaves. After each course, the finger bowls are brought in. and they are greatly needed, for the Ro mans have to eat with their fingers. During the dinner a program is given, and it is as follows: Processoin, Add ress of Welcome by President, Lictor Service. First Course. Play, “Guadeamus Igitur (a song), Second Course, Wrestling Match. Boars Head Song. Third Course, Greek Dancing. Sleight of Hand. Fourth Course, A Play, Crowning of Wine, Song “Vinum Bonum,” Farewell by President. The officers of the Latin Club are Roberta Petersen. President: Jane Kingdon vice-president and Virginia Paxton, secretary. Laila Fulkerson has been general chairman for the banquet with Barbara Kennedy in charge of the decorations. and Lesle Smith as chairman of the program committee. 1 he Brush and Easel Club under the supervision of Miss Doris Fry has had a very successful year. The club is open to all art students and was organized for the purpose of encoura3:ng creative art outside of classwork. Much has been gained through the interesting talks given by guest speakers. Their topics have included “The Romance of Color,” “Clever Gifts and How to Make them” and an unusually interesting talk on ‘Silhouettes” by Mrs Charles B. Griggs. 1 he club also has a membership in the Berkeley Art Museum and receives a traveling exhibit every two weeks. In this way club members and other students of the school have an opportunity to see the work of well known artists as well as student work from art schools and colleges on the coast. I he parties given by the Art Club make school history. Club members take great pride in working out novel and original decorations. The Studio dance given in the fall for club members and their guests was held in the auditorium which was cleverly transformed into a modernistic cabaret for the occasion. The second annual Mardi Gras sponsored by the Art Club and open to the entire student body was a gala affair. Students and teachers came in costumes of unusual originality. The crowning of the queen and a grand march did much to make the evening long to be remembered. Several Saturday sketching trips are planned for the spring semester. The Brush and Easel Club Frances Parker Barbara Kennedy Miss Fry Walton Wells President Vice president Adviser Secretary-T reasurer The French Club The French Club consists of students who are intereste din the life of French people. This year it was under the leadership of Miss Helen Kendall and was presided over by Katherine Kirby and Madeleine Leonard. Meetings of the club were held first and third Wednesdays. Members gathered to enjoy programs which put over the idea of French customs. French games and French songs added to the interest. Virginia Epperson gave the life of the French heroine Jeanne d'Arc. At another meeting Miss Kendall amused the members with a puppet show. The club celebrated the Christmas season in a truly French manner. French carols were sung and the Christmas story read from a French Bible. Pere Noel distributed gifts to the members from a decorated Christmas tree. The social functions of the club consisted of a dance and card party given for club members. On April 15-th the French Club held their French Fete which was a dance given for the student body. Cadets We take cadets in Oroville Hi, We have a rifle too: We do just as the major says, ’Cause nothing else v ill do. But in the days of chivalry, They carried lance and sword: They had their many dragons, too, And treasure by the hoard. And in those days of knighthood They fought for their king. They also fought for their lady-love. And every other thing. But oh! how times have changed since then: Instead of riding by. We march around on the cold, hard ground, As Cadets at Oroville Hi. Vivian Lambert The Freshman Reception Snappy music, a good floor, refreshing punch, decorations chosen from the rainbow—all these combined made the Freshmen Reception a gala event. Freshmen girls, pretty in their organdie frocks, were looking frightened but happy. Freshmen boys were thinking. “Do you suppose she would dance with me?” Frances Parker, Bararbara Kennedy, Harold Uren, and Ray Flood were responsible for the decorations. Dolores Savage. Gilmour Hislop, Thelma Klein, and Royal Young were the music committee. The general committee was composed of Bill Fry, Celeste Nelson. Pete Powers and Alta Dunlap. The Spanish Gipsy Carnival The Spanish Club called their spring social function a Spanish Gipsy Carnival. The court was transformed into an outdoor gipsy camp, lighted by Japanese lanterns. A real fortune teller held sway in a dimly lighted tent, and from the waiting line, the entire student body was desirous of knowing the ft ture. The auditorium was particularly effectively decorated with red. yellow and purple crepe paper and balloons, which formed a canopy over the dancers, many of whom were in gipsy costume. During the evening a short program was given besides the dancing which was enjoyed until a late hour. Junior Prom f] The annual Junior Prom was held Friday night. October JO. I he decorations were in keeping with the Hallowe en season. Large pumpkins with the letters spelling Junior Prom carved in them were placed on the stage with corn stalks as a back ground. Large modernistic paintings made by the art class were placed on the walls. Music was furnished by Fred Huntington s orchestra and punch was served during dances. I he committees in charge of dance are as fellows. Decoration Committee Posters Helen Mooney Gilmore Hislop Elmer Ashley Jane Boynton Glen Sheets Tickets Vernon Mann Punch Committee George Frazier Gerald Openshaw The Leap Year Dance This novel dance was made possible through the efforts of Miss 'Dorothy Maxine Armstrong s public speaking class. The event occurred near Valentine’s Day so the decorations consisted of small red hearts hanging from above, and large valentines pinned on the wallls. Hearts strung from the ceiling screened Fred Huntington's orchestra which was placed on the stage. The girls were expected to bring the boys, ask them for dances, let them sit on the benches, and attend them with all the courtesies that gentlemen show ladies. Most of the girls took advantage of this opportunity which has never before been presented to them in our high school, and which will not be open to them again until 1 936. Spanish Fiesta Gay senoritas and dashing caballeros held sway over the school on December 4. That evening dinner was served in the cafeteria at tables decorated with dolls clothed in typical Spanish costumes. Dancing was enjoyed in the auditorium which had been attractively decorated in yellow, red and purple crepe paper, flags .ballons and mistletoe, the last of which was especially enjoyed. During the evening a play, a tap dance and a ballet dance were given, which were appreciated by the guests. La Fete Francaise La Fete Francaise, sponsored by the French Club, had a colorful garden setting for its background. The orchestra was enclosed within a low, white picket fence entwined with greenery. Punch was served from a rustic well under a rose arbar. Every detail helped to carry out the garden ef.'cct; and the result was one of the loveliest parties we have had. Sophomore Hop Members of the sophomore class turned out in numbers Friday evening. December 1 2th, to be hosts to the other high school students at an antnual Sophomore Hop. The Christmas spirit gave the theme to the decorations, in red and green. Striking letters spelled out the name, “Sophomore Hop , across the base of the stage. Cleverly designed programs were presented at the door, and an excellent jazz orchestra furnished the music for this enjoyable party. The committees responsible for its success were: Decorations: Bettie Cauthard, 1 helma Klein. Helen Melo, Jack Andrews. Punch: Roberta, Petersen, Ruth Ginter, Doris Reed. Music: Raymond Petersen, Walter Gallatin. Publicity: Shirley Stapleton. Clean up: Jane Kingdon, Wilma Burch, Abram Mercer, Tom Jamison, Ralph Woods. Virginia Paxton. Eva Mealy. Harding Zundel, Glenn Evans. Football Banquet At the close of the 3 2 Football season the A squad held a banquet in the Cafeteria. The tables were decorated to represent a football field. The work of preparing and serving the banquet was done by Miss Davis and girls of the cooking classes. During the evening Mr. Nisbet gave a talk on athletics in the school. This was followed by a short talk by Captain Ledford who presented a desk set to Coach (Bun) Onyett as a token of appreciation from the team. A framed picture of the squad was given to Assistant Coach Orrin Wight. Members of the squad elected Ivor Gregory as captain of the 1933 football team. 1 he program was concluded with short speeches given by various members of the football squad. DREAMS Out in the breeze Beneath the sky. Beside the stream I love to lie. I dream of nature I dream of life, Of the Creator And his might, Of love and honor And all that’s right. Russell Thompson Ghosts At night, the ghosts that stand around my bed Are not the ghosts of wicked things I've clone; They are the foolish things I've done and said That come to haunt me when I cannot run. (Written at midnight) Margaret Conger ll LCM t,9 ■ Story, Please A light flashed on the switch board of San Francisco’s largest newspaper. An operator plugged in her key and mechanically answered “San Francisco..........”, and a young woman's voice was heard from the other end of the connection. “By any chance, have you an article concerning the capsizing of a sailing yacht yesterday on the bay near Sausalito?” “Well, I don't know”, indifferently drawled the operator. “If ypu have, isn’t there some way of preventing it from being printed? You see,” she confided, “if my father was to find out he would be furious and I am nearly desperate. “I’ll see,” replied the telephone girl, “but I’m not guaranteeing you anything.” Viciously attacking the two sticks of gum in her mouth with double force, she reached for a ready pad and pencil. “Names of persons aboard,” she demanded in a crisp tone. “Oh! 'Do I have to give those?” was the exclamation.” “Certainly, or I can't do anything for you. The names and the other information demanded was hesitatingly given. The operator raised her eyebrows at the answers, for the name of the girl was that of a distingueished family rating highly in the society of the East Bay and P nninsula while the name of her escort was that of a young man equally important. As the light flashed signifying the conversation was at an end, the operator turned her head and called, “Hey, Mike! Story!” Without a single word of explanation she handed the reporter the notes she had taken. That evening many San hranciscans unfolded their evening papers to be met with screeching headlines “Millionaire's Daughter Narrowly Escapes Death,” accompanied by a full column of explanation. It was the story that the distracted young person had attempted to silence, only to involve herself in the much dreaded publicity. Elsie Shattuck A Small Boy's Adventure One sunny morning in the middle of summer, a small boy of six and a very small puppy of two months walked down the long lane that led to Pa Thatcher's cabin. Pa Thatcher was a bent old man who lived in a small, dark, little cabin on the outskirts of Watsonville. He didn’t enjoy a good reputation among the women folk of Watsonville. He liked sitting by the hour and telling stories to small boys, “wild trashy tales”, the women called them. Small Jimmy Blance was one those little boys, in fact Pa's favorite, to whom he told his “wild trashy tales”. If Jimmy's mother had known that her small son was on his way to Pa Thatcher's cabin, she would probably have gone around moaning. “My son will certainly become another A1 Caoibe.” Jimmy was very happy this morning, and as he trudged down the lane talking to himself, he stopped now and then to throw a stone at any object which happened to come into his range of vision. “Ain't this a pip of a day. Slick? Boy. I could jus' walk’ 'n walk n walk, couldn't you? 'Course maybe you couldn't 'cause yore legs is too short but I'm so big 'n strong—say. I betcha I could walk a hundred miles and never know it.” He stopped to hug the puppy. Slick's small red tongue was hanging out of his mouth, and he looked as if he were ready to drop in his tracks. “Yo're kinda cute, Slick, butcha know yore nose is too big for real beauty.” He rose again and started on his way. When he arrived at Pa Thatchers, old Pa was sitting before his cabin making a long willow whistle. “Hullo, Pa!” yelled Jimmy. Well, dod blast it! If it ain't little Jimmy Blance. Come and sit down, you little scallywag! He stooped to give Slick a pat before the pup flopped his little body in the shade. “Whatcha makin'. Pa?” inquired Jimmy. Oh, just a whistle fer some little boy.” “What little boy?” “Any that happens ter want it.” “What d you do if I wanted it ?” o re some kid, aintcha ? Old Pa said as he leaned over to give Jimmy a hug. “I reckon I’d hafter let you have it.” So Jimmy got the whistle, but he blew it so hard and continuously that it lasted only one hour. Jimmy stayed and visited with Pa until eleven o'clock; then he started home. “I s’pose we better go home 'er mom'll be lookin’ fer us, huh. Slick? Jimmy looked down at the pup and the pup looked back up at this adored master. When Jimmy arrived home, his mother had his lunch on the table for him. Both he and the pup looked as if they had been through a cyclone. Jimmy's hat was perched on the back of his head, revealing part of his shock of yellow curls. His big brown eyes were ringed with dirt as if he had been crying. His sweater was torn at the back. His half socks were hanging over his shoe tops. Slick was so hot and fat he moved with the gait of a lazy elephant. To tell the truth they had gone through Pa Thatcher's blackberry patch in search of some big juicy berries. “Where have you been, son? “Oh,......jus' foolin' around.” His mother looked at his small downcast head and a faint smile curved her lips; she knew. “Come on and eat your lunch. Wash your hands first, and then we ll clean you up. You look like a little tramp. Jimmy ate his dinner in silence. Finally, he piped up, ‘Mem, what would happen if I died?” “Jimmy! Don’t talk like that! “Well, what would?” “You would go to a nice place called Heaven. “No, I wouldn’t. I socked Tom Boine in the eye the other day, and Pa Thatcher says I won’t go to Heaven if I do things like that. Gee! He’s a great ole man. ma.” Mrs. Blance listened in silence. She wondered what made old Pa talk to Jimmy about Heaven. She didn't know it. but the truth was old Pa read his Bible every night after dark. As he went out the door to p!ay, he looked up at his mother and said. “Mom. you oughta take Pa some punkin pie. He says he likes it a lot.” So after Jimmy had gone, Mrs. Blance baked a large pumpkin pie and had Mr. Blance take it down to old Pa. much against her husband's will, for you know how a man hates to do anything that takes a little care. After this favor a great friendship grew up between the Blance family and Pa Thatcher. Mrs. Blance no longer objected to the friendship, and every Saturday you could see Jimmy and Slick on their way to Pa's old cabin on the outskirts of Watsonville.

Harold Hefner T wilmht Many strange shades and colorings On the lakes, trees, fields, and flowers Make marvelous miracles of beauty At the pretty twilight hours. A wide splash, a twinkle, a ripple Of color on the quiet lake; Glints of silver and gold, Then following in its wake; Transparent, rapidly deepening the green. An almost black border along the bay The change from the glints of silver and gold To aged, dingy gray. A feeling of sadness steals o’er me As black night settles down, And spreads over hill and valley Her shadowy veil and gown. Mabel Nichols Off The Dam The big Drayson Dam, which was being built about six miles out of Scranton, was about half finished. They were working a full crew to rush the job and housing them near the dam. In gangs of such men as they were, working all day with a few hours of rest in the evening, there was always some practical joke being perpetrated. One of the frequent marks for their fun was Joe Sprague. He was rather quiet, not mingling with the others to a great extent. One of the growing nightmares of his existence was the fact that he couldn't swim. High up on the dam he would look down to the seemingly waiting water below and shiver as he felt rather than heard one of the men walk behind him. The men would threaten to push him off seme day just to see if he really could swim. One morning when he came to breakfast his clothes were quite wet. The men jokingly asked if he had been swimming, but he grew red in the face, mumbled in his plate and answered nothing. This incident recurred twice after this, and each time Joe was more silent with shame and anger Final'y he burst into a tirade, telling to quit wetting his clothes. They didh't need to protest so innocently and it wasn't a joke any longer. He stamped out of the room in a passion of anger and left the men staring at one another in bewilderment and surprise. Joe Sprague to have the nerve to really speak his mind in such plain language fairly took their breath away. Several men got together and tried to find the guilty person, but each proclaimed his innocence. For lack of anything else to do in the matrer. they decided to watch him in shifts that night and see who or what was soaking his clothes. During the night, at about two o'clock, Joe arose and dressed fully, and went out of the shack. The man on watch awoke the others and the group then followed him stealthily. He walked straight to the dam and dived off. He sw’m around for a minute or two and then clambered out. He returned to his bunk and got into bed again The men could hardly contain themselves all during t e day. They wanted to clear themselves, but even more they wanted to watch him again. The next night, repeating the same performance, they followed him to the t D of the dam. However iust as he was diving into the water the en gave a gr at shout. Thus rudely awakened, the man was to'aUy heloless. Th’ mm realized too late that he was drowning. One of them finallv got Hm out. He was gone. Sleepwalkers can do things that are impossible to them while a ake. Virginia Kolb How Soon We Forget I stand here on the corner And dream of the days gone by: Days when people cheered for us As we went marching by. Those were the glorious, golden days. The days right after the war: But those days now are far gone by, And I am remembered no more. I can hear the bugles playing, The drums were beating loud: I can see the flags all flying. And hear the cheering crowd. We had fought and struggled onward From the time the war had begun. And we had come heme victorious. We were men who had fought and won. But now all that is over. The crowd cheers us no more, There is no place for us here now. They turn us from their door. But when we are cold and hungry We are relics of days gone by .Just another of the weary stragglers--Another of the unemployed And here I stand selling apples. A war veteran, cold and wet. Dreaming of those golden days. And thinking-“How soon we forget.” Mildred Swinney The Sea L The sea has always been to me A thing enchanting, a mystery: If able to talk, it could unfold Many a story that's never been told. Upon its bosom great ships have sailed Who, in their fights, have won and failed. The sea has been filled. I am told With vast riches, both silver and gold. The sea is powerful, wild, and free And has played a part in our history. That’s why a longing has come to me To some day sail, and know the sea. Jack Grace Spring ,Tis a time-worn subject that I sing--The effects of that season called Spring, But I shall attempt to show how they lie On the students of Oroville High. There are crowds about the tennis courts --Spring always has been the time for sports. All players enjoy this game in spring; It's then that tennis is quite the thing. The rooms are deserted, but outside The benches are fully occupied. The girls wear new dresses, light and thin, --About this time cottons seem to win. The boys have their shirt sleeves rolled up high. And it's hard to find one with a tie. In classes, even the brightest seem Lost to all mortal things in a dream. It’s hard to study, and teachers, too. Would rather gaze at the sky of blue. But you must have some knowledge sound Before examinations roll round. All in all, it’s the pleasantest time Of the whole school year to put in rhyme. Margaret Conger (Written on a cold, rainy day when the contemplation of spring brought me pleasure) The Great American Institution Mary Todd Lincoln was First Lady of the Land when the bathtub was introduced into the White House. Whether this worthy lady had the tub installed I cannot say, but I think I am safe in saying that it was not only needed but welcomed. You may wonder how our forefathers took their daily baths. They didn't The people of their time were too busy keeping their souls clean to worry about outside conditions. Queen Elizabeth said she had a bath when born, one when married and expected to be bathed again when she died. Although you may not believe it, before the Colonists’ time bathing was considered a sin. I am thankful that it was before my time that people woke up to the important sense, smell. If they possessed it in earlier times, I am sure it was deadened. When they did awake, things began to happen. First the morning bath was introduced, and later good old listerine became a needed asset. People who are strangers to the bathtub might find it funny. Ladies of the harem would think it odd to bathe alone. Of course you know that is one of our peculiarities. They would ask, Why do you sit in a little tub with your own dirt? It would be much nicer to have someone throw water over you. Then the dirt all rolls off, leaving you clean. Also it is more pleasant for a group to take a bath in a pool than to bathe by oneself.” They do not understand that we Americans in this day of midget golf and bridge do not have time to spend several hours bathing, whether it be a Turkish bath or a harem pool. To start the day right we welcome our old friend the bathtub which has become the great American institution. Sara Moore When the Thermometer Registers 1 1 0 Summer is a glorious season. It is vacation time, a time that everyone has been thinking of and dreaming of during the biting cold winter nights when the wind howled dismally, accompanied by the monotonous sound of ceaselessly dripping rain. In the summer time there is swimming and lounging in the sand acqiring the golden tan that is so fashionable at that time of the year. Then there is camping in the mountains with pleasant hikes and delicious meals cooked over a blazing campfire. There are loads of other pleasantries to participate in when vacation time has arrived. At first the thermometer is just another of those articles in an average household that are seldom thought of and scarcely noticed. But it soon forces its way to a prominence shared with nothing. It is king. It is the first thing to be looked at in the morning and the last at night. In between times it is consulted on innumerable occasions. When the mercury begins its important ascent to the topmost extremity of the thermometer, you then spend a great portion of your time trying to keep cool and look cool--only to have the dreadful thought, defying your momentary peace, of the thermometer that still registers 110. The long-dreamed-of swimming is like an oasis in the middle of a desert. It is cool and refreshing, and altogether pleasant--providing you can find space enough to swim three or four strokes in the river or p'unge without bumping into Junior trying the Australian crawl, or having someone dive into the water just in front of your nose. The lounging in the sand to acquire that fashionable golden tan more often results in the purchasing of various jars of creams and many bottles of soothing lotion guaranteed to appease the dreadful fire of a sunburned skin. The camping trip with the pleasant hikes and delicious meals ooked over the camp fire seems to go wrong at the last minute. The salt is forgotten, the mosquitoes are most attentive and the fire refuses to burn. It is hot and dusty: the river is too shallow to swim in: and the flies are even more persistent than the mosquitoes. The delicious mealh are usually scorched in a the most distasteful way possible. In fact.every one is in a murderous mood and return to town once more to endure the hardships that result when the mercury has reached 1 10. No, I’ll be content to sit inside, with the snow piled high and the wind ranting and raving outside unable to penetrate into the cozy abode in which I am drowsily dreaming, with no cares or worries about what to do when the thermometer is seemingly stationary at the mark 110. Dorothy Hofius The President's Fish Story a The President of the Catalina Marlin Swordfish Club had just come in. His boat was empty of fish, but, as is the rule, the loungers on the wharf asked him how the fishing had been. “Well,” the President said. “I did hook one sizeable fish. We were fishing about fifty miles off the point when I felt something take the bait. I stuck the fish and then things really began to happen. The fish made a run, taking us twelve miles down the coast. “How far?” gasped a lounger. “Twenty miles down the coast,” continued the President, “when we struck a reef. Then he took the line off the reel with such great soeed that the reel grew so hot it melted. The drops of metal from the' reel solidified as they fell, and struck upon a piece of quartz we had put in the boat. As the steel struck the quartz it made sparks, which set fire to some cotton we had in the bottom of the boat, to dry line with. This in turn set fire to the rod. and the heat from the burning rod cracked the middle guide. The friction of the line on the crack in the guide set the line on fire, and it burnt down through the water.” “What?” shouted a lounger. “It burnt down through the water.” repeated the President, “and the heat from it burnt the monster's mouth, making it so tender that the hook pulled out and we lost him. “Extraordinary! the lounger said weakly, “What do you suppose it could have been? “A shark,” speculated another lounger, but he was silenced by a look from the President. “Do you suppose it could have been a while?” asked the first lounger. “A whale!” snorted the President. “We were using whales for bait.” ---Joe Cooper--- My Pal. His hair it uz mangy and durty. An' uz litturly covered with fleze, But he 'pears to me very purty For becuz he’s my pal, if you pleze. His ribs they stick out like a washboard Which uz statin’ it light. But by gum! They need never say that he’s horrud For becuz I will fight for my chum. D. G. S. Our New Gymnasium One of the outstanding events of the year is the completion of the new gym. When school opened the students found that work on the building had begun. Week after week they noted the progress of the structure. At last the building was ready for use. Dreams of space and convenience had come true. Indoor sports now prove both enjoyable and profitable for the high school students and for various community teams. The main floor is large enough to have two basketball courts each 43 x 71 feet. With ample room for practice the basketball teams will be better able to compete with neighboring schools. During stormy weather two gym classes use the building at the same time. Knock-down-bleachers are being provided for the gym through the efforts of the faculty. The money from the entertainments which they give before the school goes to the bleacher fund. Th gym building is one of which Oroville Union High School students feel proud. It is constructed of steel reinforced concrete. The two wings form the locker rooms. The one on the left is used by the girls while the other accommodates the boys. The main floor of the gym is hard wood being made of maple: it measures 75 by 85 feet. The new gymnasium brings to our school added efficiency and comfort as well as community service and pleasure. This building affords suitable headquarters for physical education and gives the Oroville Union High School a better standing in the physical development. Block O Society The Block O ' Society has previously been a small organization for the reason that the qualifications for entrance have been too strict. Now this situation has been changed by a new amendment to the Constitution of the Student Body, whereby it has been made possible for a larger number of athletes to gain membership in the Block “O” Society. There are now about forty-three members. Our activities arc: to sponsor the Boys Jazz Party: to supervise the Fresh-Soph Brawl: to see that the Block ‘O” on Table Mountain is kept in good condition: to have at least one dance a year: and last, and most important of all, to see that a high standard of good sportsmanship is maintained at all times, under all conditions. We realize that education covers physical as well as other types of development. We have therefore built up a devotion to physical education that says: “Sport for the sake of sport and for the physical and mental development we gain from it.” We are justly proud of our organization, the oldest in school at this time, and we intend to continue with such a program in the future as will make us the backbone of the Student Body. A Football Roseville 0 Oroville 0 In a game in which they fully expected to win, the Tigers were held a tie. It even seemed that the Railroaders would score. The ball was on the Oroville two-yard line twice, but our forwards held and Art Parker kicked the ball into a safer zone. Roseville continued to hold the ball in Oroville territory for the remainder of the half. During the second half the Tiger Varsity showed signs of awakening. Once after a march down the field, the ball was only inches from the Roseville goal, but was lost on downs and Oroville’s chance of scoring was gone. The game ended with the score Roseville 0, Oroville 0. Woodland 43 Oroville 0 The Oroville team took a good trouncing when they travelled to Woodland for the second league game of the season. Until this year the Tigers had never failed to give the Wolves a hard battle. Disaster came from the initial kickoff. Diggs, a Woodland back, carried the ball back down the gridiron for the first score. Three more touchdowns and a safety were made by Woodland before the half ended. 'During the second, half the Wolves took to the air and Completed two passes over the Oroville goal. The Tigers also completed a few passes but failed to get near their opponents’ goal line. Chico 13 Oroville 6 Another close contest was fought by two old rivals.The first play showed that it would be a real game. The Tigers kept up the old fighting spirit and the half ended with the score 6 to 6. Oroville’s score came when Parker broke Bob Sorenson Bob was the strongest point in our line. The other teams just didn t try to pull their plays through him. We regret that he will not be with us next year. Chet Gibson Chet was handicapped from the first of the season by a weak ankle, but he proved that he could play football. He has lots of power and drive and will be a valuable halfback in “32 Clayton Kennady This husky freshman showed up well as a guard and as tackle. More of such playing will make him a valuable man next season. Otis Sharp Otis was a hard-hitting and smashing end. The tougher they are the better he likes ’em. Many plays were ruined when he came rushing in and broke up the interference. Chester Mower Although “Chet” was no giant for si7.e his fast end runs and persistent gaining on line bucks fully qualified him as a competent half-back. Art Parker “Red” was the mainstay of the Tiger team this year. Art circled the ends for long gains and came through when a few yards were needed for a touchdown. He wore the Purple and White uniform for the last time this season. Captain Ledford With lots of peo and plenty of zip Oliver was a valuable man for the Tigers. He did some good work at fullback, stopping the opponents on the line of scrimmage many times. He will be with us next year. Jack Cameron Seme good football was played by Jack this year. He likes to get in and bust ’em up. He has one more season. Arthur Gould “Art” was a good halfback. He knew how to tackle as well as carrey the ball. He saw lots of service his last year, being willing to work and cooperate in every way. Charles Kennady The pivot position was held down in true shape by the “Swede”. The ball always sent back true and accurate. Graduation will claim this veteran. Ivor Gregory Ivor's specialty was snagging passes. His sprinting ability proved its val.e when a Marysville player escaped through the line and Ivor tackled him after a leng chase down the gridiron. Elton Develter Elton was a bulwark on defense. His specialty was bringing down the bucker on a goal line defense and running interference on offense. He still has another year. ' Torao Kimura Because Torao could squirm out of tight places and gain necessary yardage as a broken field runner he furnished a problem for oppo-ing teams. What wi'l this half-back with the never-say-down spirit do next year? Melvin Moseley Melvin could tackle and run interference as a first string player should. He played heads up football all season. This is his last year of service on the gridiron through the line and crossed the goal standing up. In the next half hour of play, the Panthers battled their way to another touchdown and conversion. Oroville made many more first downs but was never in scoring territory again during the game. The 1 igers played good defense and their offense worked fairly well. Yuba City 13 Oroville 6 Oroville lost again, their fourth league game. The Tigers made the first touchdown in the first quarter after Parker and Ledford had succeeded in bucking the ball over. On the next play a Yuba player squirmed through our defense for their first score. The score at half-time was Yuba City 7, Oroville 6. A few minutes later Yuba City had the ball on Oroville’s 20 yard line. From there they finally reached the scoring marker. Good defensive line play was executed by Sorenson, Develter and Kennady. Many times they tackled the player behind the line of scrimmage. Art Parker did some good broken field and fast running. Marysville 6 Oroville 20 The Tigers wound up the League with a good win over Marysville. Oroville kicked off and held Marysville for downs. After a few plays the first score came when Frasier got loose on a reverse for about twenty yards and Parker swept around end and then through tackle. Sorenson place-kicked the ball for the extra point. Several minutes later, after using reverses, spinners, and end runs to good advantage, the Tigers scored again. The ball sailed through between goal posts for the conversion. T hen Marysville began to do something and made a few first downs. With the ball on the five yard line they shot a low. bullet-likei pass across the goal for their only score in the game. The ball was resting on Marysville’s two-yard line as the gun was shot for the half. Neither team scored in the third quarter. In the fourth, Oorville marched the ball down the field on fakes, reverses, spinners, and line bucks for their third tally. B Football The young Tigers, sometimes known as the ‘B” football team, probably made a better showing for themslves than their bigger brothers, th “A squad. After losing their pre-league games by comparatively large scores they settled down to play better football and forced the boasting Durham A team to take a 6-0 defeat from a smaller and lighter team. The game with Durham was the first league tilt for the Tiger babes and they did it justice by winning it. Although the score only favored the locals by six points it should have been larger. The “B boys easily defeated the Los Molinos outfit 32-0 in their second league game. Biggs took the measure of the local boys 38-6 in the championship game of the season. Chico B won from the Oroville boys by a set of lucky breaks near the end of the tussle. Among the ranks of the baby Tigers were. Smith. Kinchen and Silver ends: Lavey, Huse, Wixom, and Mart Tuhey tackles: Henderson. Wixom. Clark, and Stringfellow, guards: Wells and Van Tongeren centers: Captain Twitchell fullback: Ely. Shull, and Spencer were the shining lights of the backfield. “A” Squad Tiger basketball men were the first to enjoy the new gymnasium this year, where there is plenty of space to work out and to play their games. This has been used to advantage and the results are encouraging. The “A” team beat Woodland, by a score of 1 8 to 12. The terrible tribe of Indians from Marysville barely succeeded in capturing the Tigers scalps by the narrow margin of two points. Coaches Qualls and Wight should now be able to build up teams which will be prominent contenders for the N. C. H. S. A. L. finals Marysville 20 Oroville 8 Yuba City 3 t Oroville 1 2 Woodland 30 Oroville 10 Gridley 1 6 Oroville 1 2 Marysville 12 Oroville 10 Yuba City 26 Oroville 6 Woodland 1 2 Oroville 18 Gridley 28 Oroville 22 League Schedule Marysville vs. Oroville Oroville s A squad played the first hoop contest against their old opponents Irom Marysville. The latter proved to be a strong team and the Oroville boys 1 ought a losing game, but they never stopped trying. The Indians had almost perfect teamwork and p srir.g crmbin?t cn that wat frond hard to break by the Tiger defense. Oroville was outplayed from the start to the finish and the final results gave the game to MarysvTc. 20 to 8. The Purple and Whit-ers who started the game were. Elmer Hayes, Oliver Ledford. Raymond Flood. Richard Bokmann. and Perry Moseley. Jim Huse and Walt Hayes substituted. Woodland vs Oroville In the second league game the Tiger claws were not sharp enough to take the Wolves of Woodland. The Wolf basketball quintet proved to be far superior to Oroville. Nevertheless, our gang made a strong effort to overcome the lead of their opponents. When the gun sounded for the final quarter the Tigers were on the short end of a 30 to 10 score. Ledford and Bokmann were in the guard positions, Hayes and Flood forwards, and Moseley center. Yuba City vs Oroville Oroville cage men were stepped on again when they met the Yuba City basketball squad. T he Tigers were unable to stop the yellow and brown offensive waves which swept over them. There was some very fast playing but Oroville could not find her goal shooting eye or the basket. The final score stood 34 to 12 in favor of the Honkers. Perry Moseley, a tall Freshman saw action and is a promising player. Other members of our squad were Bill Fry. Jim Huse. Charlie Kennady, and Oliver Ledford Chico State Freshmen vs Oroville Coach Qualls scheduled this game with Chico State during a lay-off in the league games. Unlike our football team, the cage team came back from Chico after taking a severe trouncing by the Freshmen The score was 39 to 5. Marysville vs Oroville The Tigers were in new form at the beginning of the second half of the season, being able to give the Indians some stiff competition. Backed by a spirited yelling section led by Johnnie Heinrich and Glen Evans,the Oroville quintet kept the score 5-5 at half-time, going stronger every minute. In the last quarter Marysville gained a two-point lead and began to stall in order to keep this precious margin. With the croud yelling “we want a score!” the Tigers played man-for-man defense and led by Chas. Kennady, guard, succeeded in making the final score read Marysville 12, Oroville 10. This was nearly as good as a win for Oroville. The game was played in the local gym. initiating a new score board that tells the score, time left to play, teams, and the quarter being played. Yuba City vs. Oroville Yuba City gave Oroville a sound beating for the second time in the season. The Tigers kept up consistent fighting but the end of the game found the score 26 to 6. Scamper as they might, our squad couldn't succeed in stopping their opponents' onslaught. Our starting team for the game in Yuba City was Hayes, Flood. Bokmann, Fry, and Kennedy. Only three veterans were on this list namely, Flood, Fry, and Kennedy, forward, center, and guard respectively. These members of the Purple and White team will be lost by graduatin this year. Woodland vs. Oroville It was a fast and heads-up team that won a victory over the Wolves, reversing the score of their former game. This win also broke a fstring of straight losses for the locals. T hey started to function early in the game and the closest Woodland ever came to taking the lead was to tie the score in the first round of play. From then on the Tigers kept their tallies rolling, the game being fast and furious and full of fouls. The final score was 18 tol2. Hayes was high point man with eight points and Oliver Ledford second with five tallies. Flood made two field goals and Kennedy accounted for the other point. The following started the contest: Kennedy, and Flood forwards: Bokmann and Moseley guards: and Hayes at center. Faulk, Ledford and Fry were the substitutes. I he Tigers had one advantage in a new set of knock-down bleachers installed in the local gym. The rooting-section was able to make the rafters ring” under the leadership of yell-leader Johnnie Heinrich Gridley vs. Oroville Our basketball squad failed to use their claws effectively on the Pelicans in the final bout of the circuit. A very good brand of basketball was displayed by the locals, but a better brand was shown by Gridley’s two dashing forwards, Chism and Sinnar, who were unconquerable. The game was plenty exciting from whistle to gun, neither team being able to best the other until Gridley edged ahead toward the last of the game finishing the contest with a six-point lead in a 28-22 count. Flood and Kennady were forwards: Hayes, center. Bokmann and Ledford guards. Hayes won point honors followed by Flood and Bokmann. B Squad The “B squad in basketball was made up this year of last year's championship C team plus a few other players. Although not as victorious as last year, this team retained and improved their excellent basketball technique, losing four games and winning four, making a percentage of 500. Excepting one game wit ' Yuba City, their losing games were lost by not more than two points, a few times by only one. Doesn't this show that Oroville will soon be able to hold her own in basketball. Marysville vs. Oroville Basketball fans rose to their feet when they watched the first close contest between the Oroville Baby Tigers and the Marysville B team. This thrilling scrap was close from the start and our boys gave all they had to win. They won by the close margin of one point in a 9-8 count that went into an extra five minute period. Yuba City vs. Oroville Our B squad had a tough bone to pick when they met the Y. C. boys, and vice versa. Neither team was able to gain a margin of over two points before it was cut down by the other. At half time the score stood 13-15. The final score read Yuba City 20. Oroville 18.

As a result, Woodland won 26 to 24. Marysville vs. Oroville Winning by a large margin, the B team showed a smooth running offense and a defense that couldn't be penetrated. The first team consisted of Pete Powers, Morgan Simmons. Adrian Ford, Gerald Openshaw. and Ivan Cochran. The half time score was 10-1 and the curtain dropped with a 17-3 score. Yuba City vs. Oroville When the B class men journeyed to Yuba City they were beaten for the first time by more than two points. The Honkers took the game by a score of 26-18. Woodland vs. Oroville The Tiger B squad lost its game to the Wolves by a 17-16 score. This was similar to las year's game when Oroville beat Woodland 15-14. High point man for the locals was Morgan Simmons. Gridley vs Oroville The B class turned in another win and displayed their ‘usual unsurpassed style of basketball technique. The final score gave the regulars eleven points to the good in a 26-15 score. C Squad Student Coach Richard Bokmann handled the C team during the past season. The Tiger kittens didn't turn in any victories but they played some good basketball. Most of the fellows were small with D team equipment. Some good material has been developed and instructed in the art of handling the hoop ball.

Finals Our only track man who was able to make a showing in the finals was Bob Sorenson, taking second when he put the 16 pound shot for 39 feet. This is Sorenson's last year cf track for Oroville. He is a valuable track man and we wish he could be with us again Tennis, Baseball, Track. a B BASEBALL When Coach Onyett called for baseball men he got what he called for. About thirty fellows turned out. Some of them were: Melvin Moseley gave the boys in the field a lot of work holding down their positions. Henry Henderson was always out in the tall grass trying to run down the hard hit ones. Robert Smith was the only southpaw in the field and did some fine woik. Pete Powers showed more improvement than any other fellow on the team. He threatened to take Jimmie’s place at short stop. The pitching staff was composed of mighty fine material. Jack Andrews was rated as first. Jack is left landed and made the opponents look sick. Chailes Kennady was next. He also played in the field. Elmer Hayes gave the fans many thrills over his spectacular catches. Adrian Ford was one of the outstanding players in the field. Richard Bokmann, one of the Thcrmalito ‘bums-' was the extra first base-man, and when not there held down one of the fielding positions. James Huse, the flashy short stop from Palermo. Tom Tuhey, the boy who was under a handicap, but who played ball all season at first base. Gerald Openshaw. George’s partner, who did equally well at second. Harold Hefner, Chester Gibson and Martin Tuhey were the other pitchers and all have another year. George Fraser, one of the main stays of the team. He held down the third sack. The backstop work was handled by none other than Oliver Ledford and his fielding and hitting were a big help to the team in winning. Darrel Clinton was rated second behind the plate and upheld his part of the battery. He will be back next year. The rest of the squad included: Clayton Kennady, Melvin Fulk, Richard Hughes and Roy Splawn. Last, but not least, the team was very grateful to “Big Bill” James for his time and the help he gave them. The scores of the league games were: Oroville 7 Oroville 3 Oroville 12 Durham 4 Marysville 2 Chico 4 For the championship of the N. C. H. S. A. L. Oroville 7 the score was: Colusa 6 Cadets Under the direction of Major F. E. Onyett, the Oroville High School Cadets is one of the oldest organizations in the school. Not much is known about them but they deserve a lot of credit. In 1931 the cadets proved to be the most efficient and most excellent of all cadets of the state by winning the efficiency “E’s” at the annual encampment at Sacramento. Fifty cadets under the following officers went to Bakersfield camp this year. Major Harold Uren Adjutant Joe Cooper Captain Oliver Ledford 1st Lieutenant Ralph Brereton 2nd Lieutenant Darrel Damon Sergeant-Major Gilmore Hislop Due to some known reasons such as officers call, buglers discipline, and sick list, they came home with a ham, (no bacon). May 21-22 a rifle team composed of six members went to Leona Heights in Oakland to shoot for marksmanship honors. Last year they lost due to not being able to shoot straight. This year on March 4 the Cadets sponsored a dance. This proved to be a great success and was enjoyed by all. Major Onyett has had a shooting gallery constructed between the wings of the gym and so far the boys hit the target fairly well, beating the girls wifh their bows and arrows. Captain Francis B. Shearer, State Inspector of the Cadet Organization, has inspected the local unit and found it to be very satisfactory. Oroville tied Dinuba for first place. A silk guidon will be received for this feat. (i. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association is an organization whose members enjoy the more active forms of girls' sports.

A. initiation of 13 new members was held at school February 25 During the day many queer looking creatures roamed our halls, usually attended by a stern keeper, who had learned that to “Spare the paddle is to spoil the candidate.” m (iirls’ Vollev ball A large number of girls turned out for volley ball last fall and very good teams were developed. Few games were played due to the lack of gymnasium space and cold weather. Interclass games were the first to be played. Finals which were played off the night of Hi Jinx resulted in a Junior victory. After the completion of our new gym a game was played at Oroville with Gridley. The “A team won by a score 27-42, the “B” team tied. Shortly afterwards the Oroville team played a return game at Gridley where the “A team was def-cated20-21. and the “B” team won 42-20.

I left school one afternoon With fear but hope in my heart. But Sir Graham was a little too smart for me. And I suffered as sinners do, I served four hours detention So look out or he'll get you.
