1 he ugget Contents Classes F eatures Activities Sports Dedication Dr. E. A. Kusel Thq Student Body of the Oroville Union High School respectfully dedicate this annual issue of The Nugget to their friend Dr. E. A. Kusel. Material things may come and pass away but the improvement of the mind is of lasting consequence. Through Dr. Kusel’s liberal generosity many students have been able to continue an education that otherwise would have been denied them. May we in this way, express a small measure of our grateful appreciation. Foreword I This year the Associated Students are presenting for the first time in several years a yearbook of the Oroville Union High School. Since 1932 the senior classes have published a book dealing with themselves alone. It is the hope of the staff that this book will be representative of the life and activities of the school as a whole. For our book we choose the name “The Nugget.’’ We feel that name is appropriate because of its close connection to Oroville—City of Gold. We hope this book will leave forever lasting memories of the Oroville Union High School and the many happy hours spent there. As a record of the Class of 1938 we have tried to make it as complete as possible, with the wish that in years to come it will call to mind many happy experiences. THE NUGGET Above PAUL S.

ORRIN WIGHT Physical Education - THE NUGGET The Senior Class History Nova Powell Bob Bartley Patricia Hastings Joe La Voy Warren Harlan M Idred Barnett Cecelia Maskovich Perhaps some will remember that as freshmen the Class of ’38 had 138 members. Upper classmen might have thought those freshmen were “plenty dumb” but as freshmen go that class wasn’t so dumb. Ihe two most important class officers, Bud Levulett, president, and Marjorie Oniey, executive committee member, were smart enough to satisfy everyone for two semeslers. Of course during those two semesters the usual social events occurred but the one which had the largest freshman attendance was the Freshman Reception. Then, in May, came an event not on the usual list— the first annual O. U. H. S. Carnival. Its future significance should have placed it on the first page of at least 138 memory books. However, the carnival may be on the second page for the boys who were fortunate enough to be on that year’s championship “D” basketball team which received gold basketballs for their efforts. Another page turns in the mythical memory books and the sophomore year with ail its memories is ready to be relived. Again a president, Johanna Kerber, and an executive committee member, Norma Jeanne Wilson, retained those offices for both semesters. Who could forget that in the second semester the first active interest displayed by the class in the carnival was en.bodied in a dart-throw? This booth was found at one end of the mid-way which was built in a semi-circle under the brilliant lights of the football field. 'Cont. at end of senior section) 1938 THE NUGGET Nugget Staff Above are pictured the thirteen members of the Nugget staff with Mr. Stollar, faculty adviser. Reading from left to right they are: Top row Mr. Stollar, St. Sure, Reeves, Mastelier, Pittman, Howell, and Levulett. Bottom row Hastings, Porter, Joyce, Wallace, Gallatin, Barnett and Wilson. We wish to extend our most sincere appreciation to the printing committee who spent many hours in the printing of this book. Members of the committee are Wilmer Levulett, Chet Unfried, George Wallace and Charley Eidwell. To Miss Beik and Mr. Miller we also give a vote of thanks for the work which they did in reading proof, and helping prepare our copy. The work of all others who helped in any way in the publication of this book is greatly appreciated. This is the first book of this type to be published in several years at the Croville Union High School, and it required much time and effort to collect, and prepare necessary material for the book. If it is successful in its intended purpose it wlil be because of the enthusiasm and work put in to it by the members of the staff and their committees who aided them.

Thoughts of one class officer naturally lead to thoughts of the other officers Hertha Kerber, executive committee member for the first half of the year, Leah Wallace, who held that office the last part of the year, and Nodeene Porter who was president of the class during the second halt. May and the carnival roded around again, and the juniors did their part by producing a good old-fashioned “meller-dramy”. Remember Milton True Blue Cohen and Little Gray -Pat Hastings, B. P. (Before Production?) Warren Harlan in the role of Seemoane LeScume turned out to be a really hissable villain. Speaking of turnouts, the girls enthusiastically proclaimed their interest in volleyball and basketball by large turnouts and also by winning several championships. The boys of the class played a part in athletics and a number of them won blocks in such sports as football, basketball, tennis, baseball and track. Several members of the class won triumphs on the track of life during their senior years when elections placed them in Student Body offices. Since the subject of elections has been brought up, class elections may as well be discussed. At the first of the year Bob Bartley was elected vice-president, but he soon became president when President Bob Anderson left school. For the first time Mildred Barnett took a seat in the executive committee, and also for the first time. Warren Harlan held that office the last part of the year. The last president the class could ever have was Pat Hastings. About the time class elections were held some of the seniors were very busy getting ready a program, the last in a series put on by each class, before the Student Body. The senior program had the faculty and entire Student Body roaring with laughter at the antics of some of the people supposedly trying out for parts in a motion picture. The seniors won the prize, a party given by the other three classes. The class had now dwindled to 121 members but anyone will tell you it’s quality and not quantity that counts. Quality was certainly present in the Fun House built by the senior class for the carnival in May, 1938. Another last time that will doubtless be remembei'ed for years to come was the Senior Farewell. It was a gala but neverless sobering affair, sobering because of the realization that it was the last school dance the seniors could attend as students. To complete the year graduation arrived and passed and now the Class of 1938 is nothing but a memory—how lasting only time can tell. THE NUGGET The Junior Class History Marjorie Inman Billy Johnson Roy Rogers Morris Lloyd Bernis Howell Betty Kingdon Roy Rogers President Morris Lloyd Betty Kingdon Vice-president Billy Johnson Marjorie Inman Secretary-Treasurer Marjorie Inman Bernis Howell Executive Committee Betty Kingdon The class of 1939 began the fall semester of this year with 159 members. Out of the total 68 were boys and 91 were girls. On December third, the Junior Whirl was held amid sea-faring decorations and proved quite successful. On January 12, the Junior Program, under the able direction of Mrs. Hughes and Fee Chan, was presented to the student body. The program consisted of nine numbers, and was given in the form of a cabaret floor show. Many outstanding students are members of the Junior Class. It is represented in football by Mike Lucchesi, Bob Dabbs, Roy Rogers, Windy O’Hanlon and Howard Brock. Easketball claims Val Quintana, Morris LLoyd. Dick Herbert, A1 Roberts, Eob Westwood and George BarneH. The Junior girls are not to be slighted, as there are many fields in which they are outstanding. The Junior Girls Volleyball team claimed second place in the class tournament this year. Betty Kingdon, Alice Nicolai. Ruth Kohler, Alice Cole, were all members of the team. Basketball is represented by Alice Cole, Betty Kingdon, Helen Anderson, Alice Nicolai and Genevieve Scott, Dorothy Gray, Laura Dickenson, Lucy Prado, Thelma Nicolai, Roberta Stapleton, Harriett Hills. Ruth Johnson, Alice Hengy. Helen Treichler, and Ruth Davis. Betty Kingdon grought further recognition to the class when she was voted the most popular girl in school. THE NUGGET The Sophomore Class History Dick Fry Jack McKillop Bob Ake Tine Van Duzer Gordon Franklin Mildred Hughey Viola Ross The class which entered high school in 1936, as green, inexperienced freshmen, came into their own on September, 1937 when they walked through the portals of O. U. H. S. as full-fledged sophomores. They held their first class meeting as sophomores to elect officers for the first semester. Jack McKillop, famous in his first year as a football, basketball and baseball star, was unanimously elected president. Dick Fry was elected vice-president; Mildred Hughey, secretary-treasurer; Gordon Franklin was chosen to represent his class on the executive committee. An achievement cf which the class can pride itself was the winning of the Freshman-Sophomore brawl. Speaking of sports, the boys showed quite an aptitude for basketball, many playing on the C and B teams. As president for the second semester, the class elected Bob Ake. Tine Van Duzer was elected vice-president; Viola Ross was elected secretary-treasurer and Gordon Franklin remained Executive Committee member. The Sophomore Hop, held March 25, was a huge success. The Sophomores showed unusual skill and ingenuity in putting on their annual feature dance. Class of 1940 The Class of 1941 THE NUGGET The Freshman Class History Mary Felipe Allan McLain Gaing Chan John Thomas Mary Innis Jeanne Hilton Marion Bumgarner Heigh, Ho! The Freshman class has just been sailing along. They have made a perfect start and are having much success in beginning their high school career. They were formally introduced to dear old Oroville High by the Freshman Reception, which made them feel right at home. Not to be outdone by the upper classes, the Freshmen learned how to organize. The class elected fine, industrious officers. For the first half, the officers were: President , Allan McLain; Vice-president, Mary Felipe; Secretary-Treasurer, Jeanne Hilton; and Executive Committee Member, Mary Innis. For the second half the officers were: President, Gaing Chan; Vice-president, John Thomas; Secretary-Treasurer, Marion Bumgarner; and Executive Committee Member, Allan McLain. The rousing Freshman program presented in Assembly gave the upper classmen stiff competition. However, not only are they excellent entertainers, but they are already showing their ability to shine in sports. Both the boys and the girls are proving that they have what it takes. It looks as though this is a class of which the Oroville Union High School may be proud. s 7 THE NUGGET Senior Special Page With the hopes that we may be long remembered at Oroville Union High School, we, the Class of 1938, are leaving here our names, nicknames hobbies and descriptions.

We must have absolute quiet if I am to gaze into my crystal globe and see what the future holds for us. Is everything quiet? Ah-h, now we proceed. It’s rather faint, but, yes, it is—Harold Walsh. He’s in Hollywood. Doing what? Why, he’s a street cleaner, of course. Over there we have Bob Reeves who has established quite a profitable business. He makes year books for worried senior classes. He learned how, way back when. Dorothea Lambert is married to a minister and they have just left for Arabia to convert the Eskimos into Chinese. Tina Lerner owns her own dairy farm in Australia. She’s experimenting in peppermint, vanilla, and raspberry milk. Howard Mooney has become a hermit and is hibernating in the Ozark mountains. Darwin Musick has made the world “poetry-conscious” with his poem, “The Private Life of a Nail-file.” Alberta Landrum is Public Enemy No. 1. Boy, and does she evade ’em! Ruby Mainard has taken Mrs. Rice’s place in O. U. H. S. She’s such a good cook that she has an average of four proposals a day. Proposals for what? To retire, of course. Don Records gives a political speech every Thursday night. His subject: “Pink Tooth Brush and Why.” And say, Walter Thrasher has become America’s gigolo No. 1. Does he thrill the gals! Leah Wallace and Leona ditto still get mixed up. Was Leona embarrassed when Bud Levulett showed up at the wrong church. Leah is an ex-gold-digger, and Leona sells fake rubber balls to unsuspecting children. Bud, incidentally, writes books about “My Adventures in English Literature.” Cecelia Matskovich is the heavy-weight boxing champ of Thermalito.

This group headed by Mr. Don Roderick has an enrollment of 130. and meets every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at eight o’clock in the morning for practice. The results of these early morning workouts have been most gratifying. Successful programs have been presented before the high school assembly, several service clubs down town, and at various entertainments. The performances at the benefit show at the State Theatre in February, the Spring Festival in the Exposition Building, and in the music festival at Chico were outstanding.

Also, they were able to obtain a first-cltss inspection of the extensive wardrobe used by the players. Several successful one-act plays were given in assembly during the year. The first in this series was “And The Villain Still Pursued Her.” Then came “The Wedding,” and “Nevertheless.” The whole student body was placed under a nervous tension when signs reading “What is the Wonder Hat,” and “What is the Prelude to Darkness,” mysteriously appeared on all the doors and bulletin boards in the high school. Then came the announcement that they were two plays. And what plays they were! Remember? We’re proud of these talented students who can give such excellent portrayals Holywood doesn’t know what it’s missing THE NUGGET The Student Body Play Presented by the Associated Students of Oroville High School, the play “The Yankee King” turned out to be the laugh hit of the year. Supported by a cast of 14, Pa Hinkle (Chet Unfried), and Ma Hinkle (Norma Fields) starred as the King and Queen of Laurania, a small country in Europe, supposedly. The trouble comes when Pa is persuaded to leave his home in Ohio and go to Laurania to become king. Strange customs and ideas and a revolution add life to the play. Pa nearly loses his head, but he realizes then that Ma has been boss of the family long enough. The dream proves so satisfactory that Pa takes the upper hand for good. The play was given before the student body on the afternoon of May 5, and on the evening of May 6 to the general public. Direction and staging were by Mr. Stollar and make-up by Miss Stapleton. Members of the cast were: Pa Hinkle, Chet Unfried; Ma Hinkle, Norma Fields; Marion Hinkle, Mildred Barnett; Wilbur Hinkle, Fred Irwin, Jr.; Wayne Douglas.

The officers elected for the first half were Jack Onyett, President; Will St. Sure, Vice president; Ernest Gibson, Secretary-Treasurer; and Jack McKillop, Executive Committee member. During the first half the Freshman-Sophomore Brawl, the Block O Dance, and the Boys’ Jazz Party were successful events sponsored by the Block O. The Block O Dance was one of the most enjoyable of the social events provided by the students. The Boys’ Jazz Party was held in the auditorium of the high school with a number of fast and furious boxing matches providing entertainment for the evening. The program was followed by a bean feed in the school cafeteria. The second semester officers were Ernest Gibson. President; Jim Me Carty, Vice president; Valerian Quintana, Secretary-Treasurer; and Babe Inman, Executive Committee member. The field day, won this year by the Sophomores, and the Block O initiation were the important events of this semester. The Field Day besides building up a competitive interest among the classes also gave the winning class the honor of having its name engraved on the trophy provided for this event by the Block O. The Block O initiation is the big event of the year for the members as they all plan to get even bv working on the newcomers as hard as they themselves were worked on when they were introduced to the society. ■T THE NUGGET Varsity Football The 1937 football season of the Tiger varsity lived up to all expectations in the form of giving thrills, chills, and excitement to all spectators attending the eight varsity contests. Out of the eight games played the team won four and lost four, making the season neither an outstanding success nor an outstanding failure. The season opened with a crushing 26-0 defeat for the Tiger varsity at the hands of a mighty Woodland team, who also succeeded in defeating a champion Chico eleven. Jack Belloni, a Wolf halfback, was the hero of the game and did three-fourths of the scoring on fast around-end plays. The center of the Tiger line was strong in this contest and smeared most of the Woodland line plunges. Jack Onyett made the longest Tiger gain in the contest, nine yards. In the line Hogans, LaVoy, Rogers, and Masteller ail played fine ball. In their second practice game, and first home game the next week Oro-ville barely defeated the Grass Valley Miners 7-6 in an exciting, hair-raising, 60 minutes of football. Bud Levulett and Jack McKillop were chiefly responsible for the 13 first downs gained by the Purple-and-White in the Miner-Tiger clash. Quarterback Musick kicked the extra point which gave Oroville the edge in the contest. The next Friday the Tigers had little trouble defeating a green Willows squad 20-0. Jack McKillop made all three of the Tiger touchdowns. In the first league game of the year the O. U. H. S. varsity met and conquered, in a close hard-fought contest, the Yuba City Honkers. The game was even closer than the score 13-6 indicates. The pass play, Onyett to Jones, gave the Tigers their touchdowns. In their next game with the underdogs of the league, Redding, the Oro- ville offence reached its peak. Redding was crushed by Oroville 25-7, and the entire Tiger varsity was responsible for the expected victory. The Redding victory was the last victory in the ’37 season for Oroville. In the next three games the Tigers were defeated and they failed to score in any one of them. In the Red Bluff contest Oroville was defeated more by the muddy field than by Red Bluff. Most of the boys played a more or less ragged game which was to be expected under the circumstances. In the Marysville game a weak pass defense spelled ruin for the local gridders. All four of the Indian touchdowns were made by passing, against which Oroville seemed to have no defense. The annual big game of the year with Chico was also played on a muddy turf and was also lost by Oroville, 18-0. Again, as in the Marysville tilt, a weak pass defense meant a defeat for Oroville. The Tigers fought desperately in this game, but were defeated. Due to an unsuccessful season the Tigers did not have the annual postseason game but discontinued football practice at the termination of the Chico tilt. Oroville started out the season strong, perhaps due to spring practice, but failed to wind up at the same pace. Members of the varsity who graduated this year are: Bud Levulett, Jack Onyett, Darwin Musick, Joe Hogans (all conference), Harold Masteller, Joe LaVoy, Bob Bartley, Don Taggart, Fred Irwin, Jack Rowe, Charlie Bidwell, and Iven Bennett. mmmmmmmm THE NUGG Vr 'c Afor -m Witty O VUtfiM JUtk Onyv-ff- A arokJ rfasfe or THE NUGGET Bob Bartley, snappy quarterback was very efficient in eluding tacklers on a broken field. This is his last year at Oroville Hi. Howard Brock, Tiger second-string halfback, played a good game. Howard, is a juior and will probably see service next year. Vic Martin, husky tackle could keep out the “inemy” and poke holes in their line. Cliff Rowe didn’t see much action this year but will probably be a first-class guard next year. Roy Rogers, straight-shooting center, did much to stem the tide of invading attackers. Roy will be here next year, as he is only a junior. Jack McKiilop, greatest yard gaining man in the Tiger back-field, has two years yet to play for the Tigers. Dewey Mclsaac was another of those centers who could get the ball back there. Dewey will probably be one of the mainstays of the Tiger line next year. Joe Hogans—when Joe got mad the other side just naturally opened up and let him go through. He played a great game and will be missed next year. Mike Lucchesi, a stalwart guard that really guarded. Mike was a real player and will hold over for next year, too. Jack Onyett, a halfback that dazzled them with his passes. He is another good player who will not be with us next year. Jack Jones, because of his—well, he was called “Goldilocks.” He was a good end, too. They didn’t get around him very often. Harold Masteller was one of the best guards on the Tiger team. Mac is a senior and has seen his last playing for Oroville. Bob Dabbs was another end whom they didn’t get around. He will probably be with the Tigers next year on their (championship) team. We hope lie is .anyway. Charley Bidwell could take it as all guards must. He has also played his last game for the Tigers. Windy O’Hanlon played end and was very good at it too. Windy will help hold ’em again next year. THE NUGGET B Football The Tiger “Kittens” played their first game of the season with the Grass Valley eleven at Grass Valley, and met with a 13 to 7 defeat. The closest game of the season was played with Marysville, ending in a 13 to 12 victory for Marysville. The game offered many thrills to the spectators and was faster and more spectacular than many of the varsity games. The last game of the season was with Chico. Both teams were fighting to keep out of the cellar position, neither team having won a league game. In spite of the fact that the scares of most of theirgames showed losses the season gave valuable experience to the player's, mostly underclassmen just getting started in the game. Outstanding among the players were George Wallace and Billy Johnson. Wallace, a senior, played fullback; Johnson, a junior, was best at left half. Johnson was handicapped early in the game with an injured eye, but recovered in time to finish the game with a good record for himself. The scores of the games were: Oroville 7 Grass Valley 13 Oroville 12 Chico 0 Oroville 0 Yuba City 14 Oroville 0 Gridley 20 Oroville 12 Marysville 13 Oroville 0 Chico 6 THE NUGGET A Basketball When the call came to practice Varsity basketball, there was a large turn out of fellows each eager to get into the fray and to make the team that was to represent Oroville Union High in the league. After a successful practice season, Coach Griffin cut the squad to twelve men who carried the purple and white through the 1937-’38 season. Basketball was an even break for the Varsity as far as winning and losing were concerned as the team won five games and lost five. We cannot judge the team by this alone but rather by their ability and spirit. Each man of the squad gave a good account of himself in every game. Since every contest was exciting and thrilling to watch we may consider that this was a most successful season. This fact is born out by reading an account of each game on the opposite page. This league is always strongly contested and this year it was more so than usual Even though several of the regulars of the team graduate this spring, there will be men left to form the nucleus of a good team for next year. Members of the squad were: Jack McKillop, Morris Lloyd, Valerian Quintana, Jim McCarty, Howard Brock, Harold Walsh, Milton Cohen, Darwin Musick, Irving Taggart, Dick Herbert, and Iven Bennett. THE NUGGET League Games In the first league game of the 1938 series the Oroville boys lost to the tune of 19 to 24. Both teams fought hard throughout the contest. Oroville beat Colusa 19 to 16 in the second league game. The game was no snap, and the Tiger team had to play good basketball to win. Walsh and Cohen were high point men, each playing a snappy game. The next team to fall for the Tigers was Gridley, beaten 48 to 22. The game was in Oroville’s favor from the start, Gridley at no time seriously threatened Oroville’s lead. Even though the boys tried hard throughout the game Yuba City proved too strong. The game ended with Yuba City having 34 points, Oroville 23. In the fifth game the Tigers were snowed under by Marysville, 39 to 25. The Marysville team, a strong one normally, showed its fighting spirit to a good advantage. This time the Yuba City Honkers lost to a strong much improved Tiger team, 23 to 15. In this defeat the Oroville boys somewhat avenged themselves for the previous game they lost to Yuba City. Though the Oroville team fought for all it was worth, they lost by a margin of one point to the Marysville Indians. The final score was 17 to 16, showing that the game was a close one, won by luck rather than power. Oroville defeated the Biggs team to the tune of 29 to 19. Even then, the Biggs boys were lucky to get their 19 points. Again the Chico team, the strongest in the league, won over the Tigers, this time 39 to 18. The game was a fast one, each team fighting to win. Early in the game, though Chico forged ahead and the Tigers were never able to come up to them. As was expected, the Tigers walked away with Gridley, holding them to 12 points, while piling up 32 for themselves. Throughout the season, the Gridley A team was very weak. Again Oroville beat Colusa, in the last game of the season, this time 32 to 22. The Oroville boys, faced with the knowledge that in order to get their blocks they had to win this game, put all they had into their playing. Out of the 11 league games played by the Oroville A team, 6 were won and 5 lost, enabling most of the players to earn their letters. The Tigers did not have a completely successful season in winning all their games, but as they won over half they felt that it was a very satisfactory one. Each year the basketball season atOroville High becomes increasingly important and interesting to the students. Basketball, since the construction of the Gym is taking its place rightfully as one of the major sports at the high school. At Oroville Union High more boys take part in basketball than in any other sport because of the number of teams that are carried. It offers competition for all ages and sizes of boys. In addition to the regular teams sponsored by the Associated Students, basketball is one of the most popular inter-class sports and many fine players are developed in the regular physical education classes The B team, under the direction of Coach Frank Griffin, developed into one of the best in the league. However, as their coach stated, they seemed to be the most unlucky. All games played by the B team were most interesting to watch and they were won or lost by very small margins. Unfortunately though, the B team was on the small end of the score most of the games. They were able to win only two out of the ten league games played. The scores are no indication of the sort of games played. This year the B league was unusually strong and each game played was the best sort of basketball. The team finished the league in good spirits feeling that they had a most successful season regardless of the number of games lost. The members of the team were: Ernest Gibson, Bob Ake, Jesus Gomez, Doug Countryman, George Barnett, Kenneth Lane, Darrel Johnson, A1 Roberts and John Aicega. THE NUGGET B Basketball THE NUGGET V League scores were: Oroville 32 Oroville 28 Oroville 27 Oroville 22 Oroville 21 Oroville 21 Oroville 23 Chico 36 Colusa 26 Gridley 30 Yuba City 26 Yuba City 27 Marysville 33 Chico 24 The C team played some exciting games and were out fighting all the time. All the games lost were lost by close scores. The team succeeded in winning only one of their league games. In the last game of the season they lost by a small margin to the championship Marysville team. This team was conceded to be one of the best C teams ever produced in this league. Both the C and D teams were coached by Orrin Wight. Members of the C team were: Harry Carpenter, Herman Quintel, Babe Inman, Gordon Franklin, Clifford Kroeger, Don Sawtelle, Gerald Taber, and Bob Withers. The D team this year was a hard fighting bunch of players and had a very successful season. These boys are the light weights and are building up for the future weight teams. They played five league games with the same schools that the other teams played. Of these games the D team won three and lost two. This was a very good showing as the D team was rather unusually light in comparison with teams of the league. We are expecting to see a fine bunch of players develop from these fellows. The members of the squad were: Russell Brinkerhoff, Ross Huntington, Harold Holub. Harold Dahlmeier, Howard Casagrande. Dick Fry, Lyle Horn, and Alan Houston. With the fine bunch of athletes coming up from the ranks of the light weight teams it would look as though the prospects for good teams at Oroville Union High were very bright. Each year sees a more determined bunch of fellows on the floor wearing the purple and white and each year sees a more enthusiastic bunch of rooters on the bleachers cheering them on. D team scores: Chico 12 Oroville 17 Oroville 13 Oroville 13 Oroville 14 C team scores: Oroville 16 Oroville 12 Oroville 15 Oroville 17 Oroville 11 Colusa 18 Marysville 31 Yuba City 4 Chico 18 Biggs 5 Colusa 17 Marysville 24 Yuba City 13 THE NUGGET Baseball Team The 1938 baseball season has progressed very well for the Oroville Tigers up to date, with the loss of only one league game. This was lost to a very strong Marysville nine after a nip and tuck battle all the way. A large group of good ball players turned out this spring with all of the zip and ambition of a professional team. 1 here were several veteran players signed up to give the team a good solid nucleus on which to build. The group was well balanced both in the field and battery. Among the veterans were, Val Quintana, Jack Onyett, Vic Martin, Harold Walsh and Howard Brock. On the pitching staff was two dependable veterans. Bob Dabbs and Irving Taggart, with the very valuable addition of a young freshman, George Price. This staff was considered one of the best ever to take the field for the Tigers. The infield has been able to hold any hit their way very well and have received much valuable experience from the many practice games arranged by Coach George Wilson. Th outfield have also proved themselves very able in all the games. The spectacular fly catching of Val Quintana, the rifle arm of Even Hughes, and the consistent fielding of the three men in right field, Bartley, Steen and Lloyd have suppored the rest of the team in good style. THE NUGGET Track Team The 1938 track team turned out to be one of the best produced in several years. The practice meets were well under the control of the Oroville team as they finished well up near the top in all of the preliminary meets. The subleague meet held at Gridley this year brought a lot of tough competition from this secticn. Loth the unlimited and the limited finished second in the meet with Hogans and Rowe accounting for more than their share of the unlimited points. Bob Ake, (in the pole vault), Bob Westwood, (in the high jump), and Tine Van Duzer, (in the 1320) outdid themselves to take first in their events. The rest of the team also showed up well in that there were twenty blocks awarded. At the N. C. H. S. A. L. meet in Chico several Oroville tracksters proved their ability. Bob Westwood and Gordon Franklin tied for third in the high jump. Bob Ake won the football throw and got a third in the pole vault. Joe Hogans will be the only unlimited man to advance to the Sacramento meet as he got a third in the 100 yard dash. As most of the outstanding athletes in the school are lower classmen the school can expect a track team of championship caliber in the future. THE NUGGET Boys’ Tennis Today tennis is one of the popular spring sports at high school. Oroville Hi s team consisting of eight members, and coached by Frank Griffin, made its bid in the N. C. H. S. A. L. subleague. Although the boys did not do so well in their matches, many of them showed they could play a good game of tennis. Most of the team were new men. George Barnett being the only holdover from last year. Most of this season was spent in whipping the new men into shape. Much is expected of the netmen next year. A large turnout at the beginning of the practice season enabled the coach to select the eight best men who now compose the team. Barnett, number one man on the team, was finalist in the subleague singles tournament. Barnett and Ernest Gibson, number two man, won the finals in the subleague doubles and received their Block O’s. None of the other members of the team won their blocks. Gibson was the only member of the team to graduate this year; the remaining players are expected to play again next year for Oroville. The other team members were: Henry Everett, Bernis Howell, Warren Harlan, Munson Everett, Harold Dahlmeier, and Alan McLain. THE NUGGET Cadet Company I The Orcville High School is the home of Company I, California High School Cadets. The first company was organized at this school in 1917, and there has been an active organization here ever since. For sometime there have been two companies but this year due to apparent lack of interest one of these has become inactive. Firing began soon after the Christmas holidays. Those who qualify with the small bore rifles compose the rifle team. This team competes with other cadet rifle team throughout the state for the Adjutant General’s Trophy. Company I is expected to have a high scoring rifle team this year. Twenty-three cadets from Oroville made the trip to San Luis Obispo for the annual cadet en sampment. There they were introduced to army camp life with ail the glories of guard mount ceremonies and retreat parades. Needless to say, the boys from Oroville did themselves proud. We hope they continue to do so in the future. The officers who command the cadets at Oroville High are Major James C Nisbet, Commandant of Cadets, Cadet Captain Wilmer Levulett. Commander of Company I, First Lieutenant Robert James, Second Lieutenants Jack Onyett and Dwight Helmick. Much credit should be given them for making Co. I a fii-st rate company. ■a THE NUGGE i ■ Cadet Officers Color Squad To the officers go a great deal of the credit for making the cadets at Oroville Union High School a successful organization.

Its aim is to develop interest in athletics, health, and good sportsmanship. To obtain membership in this organization it is necessary to earn 125 points in diversified attivities. The candidate must also have passing grades in acedemic subjects. The two main social affairs of the year, sponsored by the G. A. A., were the Girls’ Hi Jinx and the G. A. A. initiation. The officers for each semester for the past year have been: Leona Wallace Roberta Stapleton Eetty Kingdon President Vice-president Secretary-Treasurer Marjorie Gallatin Alice Nicolai Betty Kingdon THE NUGGET Volley Ball Top row left to right Rose Poindexter, Angeline Arriaga, Irma Rae Grisley. Middle row Cecelia Matskovich, Evelyn Yates, Leona Wallace, Susan Hilgers, Pat Hastings, Nodeene Porter. Blanche Moseley. Bottom row Pat Bruce, Marjorie Gallatin, Johanna Kerber, Annabell Turner, Dariys Porter, Mary Jane Baker. For three consecutive years these girls of the class of ’33 have won the girls’ inter-class volley ball championship. As freshmen they were defeated only by a superior junior team and placed second. The championship team is decided by playing a Round Robin tournament in which each class team plays the others twice. Although some games were very close this team always came out on top. The success of their team is largely due to the large turn-outs they have had for the past four years. Those who received volley ball emblems this year were: Johanna Kerber, (captain), Maricrie Gallatin, Dariys Porter, Patricia Hastings, Nodeene Porter, Evelyn Yates, Blanche Moseley, Patricia Bruce, Leona Wallace, Angeline Arriaga, Cecelia Matskovich, Rose Poindexter. Mary Jane Baker, Irma Rae Grisley. THE NUGGET Basketball Champions again! For the second time the girls of the class of ’38 have won the inter-class basketball championship. A Round Robin tournament was played, as was done in volley-ball, with each class playing the other classes twice. After the first two games the Senior girls set their goal at forty points. They achieved this in all their games except the last one of the tournament, which was played against the Juniors. The success of the team was due largely to the fact that there was a good turnout and that some of the players were able to p’.ay in different positions. The scores of the games for the first half were: Seniors 41 Seniors 45 Seniors 41 Second half: Seniors 46 Seniors 45 Seniors 32 Freshmen 6 Sophomores 10 Juniors 11 Freshmen 13 Sophomores 3 Juniors 23 NUGGET — With the spring each year comes tennis. This year the girls have two outlets for their enthusiasm for this sport. First is the tennis ladder with Roberta Stapleton, Girls’ Tennis Manager as organizer and keeper. The person who finally stays on top when the ladder is closed will receive a gold tennis racquet. Second, third and fourth places draw circles and the one that makes the most improvement receives a can of tennis balls. Second, there is the team. This is composed of four singles and two doubles. This team plays the teams of Chico and Marysville High Schools. Tennis is a sport that takes coordination of mind and muscles. It is one sport in which the smaller and slighter girl stands as good a chance as anyone else. Yet, many of the better players are all-around girl athletes. Tennis is really every girl’s game. The girls are fortunate in having a good tennis team. Many of the girls have shown considerable ability in the sport. At present Dorothy Towle is at the top of the girls’ tennis ladder. Others on the ladder and team are: Alice Mae Beebe. Juanita Barefoot, Juanita Prado. Mary Jane Baker, Roberta Stapleton, Marjorie Gallatin, Thelma Nicolai and Lucy Prado. The team this year was coached by Miss Desmond. THE NUGGET l •- ’ •£.' 5 - sfes. 9 ' attib •TwPdTM 11 • • '4c. - Cft. .
