Oroville Union High School - Nugget Yearbook (Oroville, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1939 volume:

TUG NGMiET The Tchoo e Dedication The Associated Students of Oroville Union High School respectfully dedicate this book to Paul S. Stollar in grateful thanks for the time and effort he has expanded in aiding us in our student affairs. Without his never failing co-operation it would have been impossible to achieve many of our projects, and we are especially grateful for the untiring effort he has expended in making our yearbook of 1939 possible. It is as a means of showing a small fraction of our gratitude that we dedicate this book to Mr. Stollar. On The Campus at Oroville Hi Foreword Again the Associated Students proudly present The Nugget. As a chronicle of school events it will serve as a mirror of the activities of all four classes. In it are pictures and articles depicting the highlights of the school year 1938-1939. In addition to the regular pictures the reader will find casual snapshots of students at fun and frolic in and out of our Oroviile Union High School. The Nugget gives primary importance to the graduating class in the individual senior pictures, senior special page, and senior baby pictures. The other classes have by no means been slighted. It is the hope of the writers that The Nugget of 1939 will be truly representative of the entire student body. The 1939 Nugget has been compiled through the efforts of numerous of the seniors and also through the efforts of several of the underclassmen who have assisted in the writing of class histories. The writers and readers of The Nugget are greatly indebted to Mrs. Clemo, Miss Eeik, and to Mr. Stollar for their valuable assistance in the revision and supervision of this book. To them we gratefully say, “Thank you. As graduating seniors, the staff of The Nugget are leaving high school. From here, all of us will go forward-some to places of renown and others to the more humble stations of life. We will separate, become scattered, and break the bond of unity. Yet, even as we tread our separate paths, we can think back to our high school days and find them recorded in The Nugget of 1939. Above left Paul S. Stollar Center James C. Nisbet Principal James C.

After the freshman reception, however, mystery was not the overhanging branch of the class tree for very long. The students soon began to grow branches of knowledge, entitling them to be sophomores. At the Sophomore Hop, they were in full swing, and by the end of second scene, the once green buds developed into the pink of life. As the third scene opened, they began to develop an understanding, and they were unceremoniously pronounced upper classmen. As juniors they elected Roy Rogers, president of the class; Betty Kingdon, vice-president; and Bernis Howell, executive committee member. For the second half of the third scene, new officers, as follows, were elected: Morris Lloyd, president; Bill Johnson, vice-president. Marjorie Inman, secretary-treasurer; and Betty Kingdon, executive committee member. Looking forward to the time when they were to be high and mighty seniors , those creatures with all the crowning glory of the days, they witnessed the falling of the curtain. To open scene four, Malcolm Hagan was elected class president, with Harriet Hills as vice-president, Ruth Davis as secretary-treasurer, and Genevieve Scott as executive committee member. After another semester, these officers were installed, Darrell Johnson, president, Alice Nicolai, vice-president. Jean Cummings, secretary-treasurer; and Fee Chan, executive committee member.

(Senior History continued) The highlights and climax of senior activity was the banquet and dance which ended our high school social life, together with the Baccalaureate service and graduation exercises. Now that the curtain has closed on the final scene, the participants in this drama are gathering together all that they have gleaned in the past years. They have taken their first steps into the outer world, leaving for the last time the good old stage of high school performance. Junior Class History Audrey Coombes John Aicega Gordon Franklin Betty Jane Toland Heng Chan John Peterson Alice Mae Beebe Beginning the fall semester with new hopes and aspirations, the class of 1940 came into their own as upper classmen in September, 1938. The class electeion resulted in Betty Jane Toland, being chosen first girl president for the class; Johnny Aicega, vice-president; Alice Mae Beebe, secretary-treasurer; Heng Chan, executice committee member. The class was well represented in football, with McKillop, Aicega, Simmons, Gomez, Casagrande among those who turned in good records. Basketball also claimed the attention of many members of the class. The C team brought home a championship through the combined efforts of Alan Houston. Dick Fry. Russell Brinkerhoff. Harold Holub, and Gordon Franklin. Johnny Aicega, who brought fame to his class as the star of the B football team, out did himself in basketball. Johnny only made 30 points one night. Baseball claimed such stars as the Stringfelow twins. Strang, Steen. Gott Thompson and McKillop. The junior program v,as considerer one of the best. It was put on amidst the chanting of Dick Fry, the drawl of Tine Van Duzer, the “peggin” of Jack Coale, while the music was suoplied by their little maestro Allan Houston and his orchestra. Class officers for the spring term were Johnny Aicega. president: Gordon Franklin, vice-president: Audrey Coombes, secretary-treasurer; John Peterson, executive committee member. Politics also claimed members of the talented class. Tine Van Duzer was e'ected president of the Block O and Betty Jane Toland held the office of secretary-treasurer of Girls’ League for the entire year. The Class of 1940 o Sophomore Class History Marian Bumgarner Clifford Rowe Jack Terrell Rosalie Thompson Joy Drobish Mary Felipe Jean Hilton We of the Purple and White Go forward, go farther each day Always we aim for the highest And always for us there’s a way. The Class of ’41 continues the history it started In the fall of 1937. Again we shine in the world of sports. Both our sophomore girls and boys rank as good athletes. We have our boys representing us on the A and B football and basketball teams and also in baseball and tennis. The sophomore girls have their teams in volleyball and basketball and are said to put up a good game. At the first meeting in the fall semester the following were elected class officers. Clifford Rowe, president, well known for his active part on the A football team; Jack Terrell, vice-president, also another player on the A football team. Joy Drobish was chosen secretary-treasurer. Rosalie Thompson was elected executive committee member. Both these girls are members of th C. S. F. in which we have the largest number of members. Not only do we shine in sports but we have splendid ability os entertainers. A large number of our boys and girls are in the glee club, and the girls trio is composed entirely of sophomore girls. Officers the second semester were: Cliford Rowe, president; vice-president, Mary Felipe; secretary-treasurer, Jeanne Helton and Marian Bumgarner, executive committee member.

Freshman Class History Ruth Bryson Wilbur Vaughan Charles McCurry Marjorie Burns Joyce Hastings Bobbie Naify Edith Burroughs Shirley Forbes We freshmen feel that the remaining three years of our high school career will be happy and successful ones. Many things have happened during our first year of high school to make us believe that our prophesy will come true. On September 12, 1938, 200 freshmen students started to Oroville Union High School, full of vim and vigor and ready to buckle down to nine months of school work after a summer full of fun. The first sign of our ability to organize was when we elected as class officers Wilbur Vaughan, President; Marjorie Burns, Vice-president; Shirley Forbes, Secretary-Treasurer; and Joyce Hastings as the Executive Committee Member. Our officers for the second semester are; President, Charlie McCurry; Vive-president, Bobby Naify; Secretary -Treasurer, Ruth Bryson; Executive Committee Member, Edith Burroughs. Through the splendid cooperation of the upper classmen our freshman reception was a real success. The most important happening and the one that will be most remembered is that we were awarded the prize for the best class program. We feel very proud of the fact that as freshmen, we have proven our ability to cooperate with one another. t The Class of 1942 o mr • - •' ’• m In Retrospect Our four short years are over And as we now depart We want to thank you Oroville High For you have played your part.

We know not at present our future Nor can we see what’s ahead Yet we in our minds must consider The value of learning not dead. Throughout all our lives we’ll discover Its due to the learning - and strife That we have ourselves made successful On the highway referred to as life. —Adele Blower Student Body Officers Babe Inman Betty Kingdon For both terms of this year Arthur “Babe” Inman has presided over our student body with an efficient and vigorous gavel. For the first term Morris Lloyd served as vice-president, and for the latter term Valerian Quintana held that office. Again we find one person holding the same office for two consecutive terms in the person of Betty Kingdon as secretary-treasurer. She has been a most capable one, backing up President Inman in every activity undertaken. Tine Van Duzer held the office of Block O Custodian for both terms. The office of Historian was held by Genevieve Scott for the fall and Alice Nicolai for the spring. Athletic Managers were Harry Carpenter for the first semester, and for the second semester Gene Casagrande held that office. The Student Body sponsored the annual program held in the State Theater in the fall. In the spring the students put over a bigger and better carnival than ever before attempted. The student body also publishes The Nugget their annual year book that is always looked forward too eagerly by everyone. This book is largely prepared by seniors with assistance by members of the other classes. Honor Society The intelligencia of the students of the Oroville Union High School is centered in the local branch of the California Scholarship Federation or Honor Society as it is more commonly called. In the past term there was a total of twenty-seven members with Darrell Johnson as president; Henry Everett, vice-president; and Heng Chan, secretary-treasurer. During the f rst semester the principal activities were the initiation and participation in the Northern California Federation Conference, District Convention. At this conference Darrell Johnson led a discussion entitled “Scholarship vs Extra Curricular Activities.” At the beginning of the new semester a revision of crediting for eligibility for membership in the Honor Society was made. Under the new plan forty-one members belonged. The new officers were Henry Everett, president; Jean Cummings, vice-president; and Heng Chan, secretary-treasurer. We again participated in the Northern California Federation Conference, District Seventeen, and Oroville had charge of a discussion group, “Choosing a Vocation,” led by Roberta Stapleton. In addition to the spring initiation the Honor Society sponsors a booth at the carnival and a float in the parade. The Nugget Staff Above are pictured the various chairmen of committees, who constituted the machinery in producing our school annual. The Nuggett. From left to right they are: Darrell Johnson, editor; Henry Everett, group pictures; Fee Chan, Art; Harriet Hills, Arrangements, Betty Cock, senior pictures, Dorothy Gray, senior write-ups, Bob Westwood, Boys’ sports and Ruth Kohler, features, Roberta Stapleton who was in charge of the Girls’ sports was not present at the time the picture was taken. We wish to extend our deepest thanks to Miss Eeik, who worked so hard in reading proof and helping prepare copy. We also wish to extend our appreciation to Mr. Stollar, our adviser who spent much time on the Nugget. We hope that Th eNugget this year has excelled that of last year both in appearance and contents. It has taken much time and effort to assemble and prepare all of the material. The excellent outcome has been through the splendid cooperation of both the committees and the advisers. The Tiger Mirror Staff The Tiger Mirror is the school newspaper published bi-weekly by journalism students of Oroville Union High School under the direction of Miss Alice Green. It is set up by the Oroville Mercury-Register, and printed in the school shop by printing students, directed by Mr. Paul Stollar. Members of the staff for the fall semester were: Genevieve Scott. Editor-in- Chief; Norman McLain. News Editor; A1 Houston. Mary Gillis, Advertising Managers; Ruth Kohler, Feature Editor; Ruth Davis, Girls Sports Editor; Bob Westwood. Boys’ Sports Editor; Dick Fry, Exchange Editor. Present staff members are: Ruth Davis, Editor-in-Chief; Genevieve Scott, Associate Editor; Norman McLain, Business Manager; Ralston Painter, Advertising Manager; Adele Blower, News Editor; Ruth Kohler, Feature Editor; Thelma Nicolai, Girls’ Sports Editor; Bob Westwood, Boys’ Sports Editor; Juanita Barefoot. Exchange Editor; Marjorie Gerloff, Publicity Manager. Other journalists are Betty Jane Toland. Phyllis Petty, Harold Holub, and Doris Hefner. The first half of this year found the Block O very inactive, but the second half proved different. Officers for the first semester of this year were Robert Dabbs, president; Valerian Quintana, vice-president; Bob Westwood, secretary-treasurer; Jack McKillop, executive committee member. The freshman-sophomome brawl was the main activity sponsored during this period. The second semester officers were Tine Van Duzer, president; Jack McKillop, vice-president; John Aicega, secretary-treasurer; Gordon Franklin, executive committee member. The second semester they sponsored the Bean Feed, the annual Block O dance, and field day. This year’s Bean Feed corresponded with last year’s Jazz Party. Boxing matches and a basketball game between the seniors and future varsity provided entertainment. The Block O dance, always a gala event, proved to be as great a success as those in the past. Field Day is looked forward to each spring by the whole student body. It builds up competitive spirit among classes, and also gives the winning class the honor of having its name engraved on the trophy provided by the Block O. Block O initiation is a big event, as the members take great pleasure in working over new members as they themselves were worked on. when introduced to the society. Of course the students enjoy watching the performance. Girls’ Athletic Association The Girls’ Athletic Association is one of the most active organizations in school. It’s membership is composed of the girls out for after-school sports, and there are forty girls in the club this year. The principal purpose of the club is to have general supervision over all after-school sports which include volleyball, basketball, tennis, and some years baseball and speed-ball. Each sport has a manager in charge of the points earned by each one taking part. The awards for girls’ sports are based on a point system. After a girl earns 500 G. A. A. points a five inch block O is given to her. If during her four years she earn 1000 G. A. A. points a larger block O is awarded Only an exceptionally active girl can earn a 1000 point block O in four years and it is an outstanding achievement to earn one in three years. At present there are three 1000 point blocks in school, worn by Alice Nicolai, Roberta Stapleton, and Betty Kingdon. The Girls’ Athletic Association also has charge of play days with other schools; Girls’ Hi Jinks, in which nearly all the girls in school take part; G. A. A. initiation; and a float and hot dog and soda pop booth at the spring carnival. The officers for the first term were Alice Nicolai, president; Betty King-Nicolai. publicity manager. In the second semester Roberta Stapleton served as president; Thelma Nicolai, vice-president; Dorothy Gray, secretary-treasurer; and Ruth Davis, publicity manager. The Band ' At last! The Oroville High School Band actually has new uniforms. At the end of last year the journalism class gave the band one hundred dollars. At the beginning of this year the Dramatics class put on a play (The Brat) under the direction of Mr. Roderick, and the net profit went towards the band uniforms. Other school and community donations were made and altogether there was enough money raised to buy the material for the capes and some new extra caps. The band is increasing rapidly and a drum and bugle core has been started. Interest in our band has been aroused through the school and in the community. The band represents the school more than most any of the other organizations Many times the band represents the community as a whole. The band plays at every football game possible and for the basketball games there is chosen a pep squad. The one big thing of the year for th band is the Musical Festival held in Chico. Other main programs throughout the year in which the band participated are :Paradise Fair, Christmas Concert, Flower Show, Gateway Fiesta, School Carnival, Graduation Exercises and many parades. The Band Club, organized for social purposes, is in its second year. They also raise money to buy band pins for the members. The credit for the success of the band in great measure goes to the director, Mr Ferdinand Giovannetti. The Girls Chorus The girls' glee club under the direction of Mr. Don Roderick has an enrollment of 100 this year. They have worked up many fine numbers and have appeared on several programs. The mosi important ones were the Christmas program at the high school, the Benefit Show at the State Theatre, the Music Festival at Chico, the annual radio broadcast from station K. H. S. L. in Chico. The girls have also sung at various down-town clubs and before the student body. The Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs cooperated in giving one cf the most elaborate and successful dances in the school’s history. The officers for the year were: president, Nora Mae Clover; vice-president, Doris Stanley; secretary-treasurer, Bettie Wallace. 7 he Girls’ Trio, consisting of Mary Felipe, Varah Dietle and Mary Louise Kinchen assisted by Nora Mae Clover, as soloist, have played an important, part in many programs. Leila Mae Blount should be given special recognition for her excellent work as accompanist for both glee clubs. Boys’ Glee Club • The Boys’ Glee Club was organized in September, 1937, under the direction of Mr. Roderick. At that time the organization boasted only 35 members, but since then, it has enlarged, and now is made up of 65 fine voices. The purpose of the club is to give those who enjoy singing an opportunity to do so; and to represent the high school in the community. Among the various activities of the Glee Club are included participation in the Music Festival in Chico, the Christmas Program at the high school, a radio program in Chico, the yearly school program at the theatre, graduation and Baccalaureate services besides performances before many of Oro-ville’s clubs and lodges. Within the club are several smaller organizations such as , “The Rhumba Boys”, including Allen McLain, Jerry Walker, John Thomas, Lawrence Howell, and Harold Dahlmeier. Another group is “The Collegians,” made up of Howard Casagrande, Theron Edwards, Allen McLain, Harold Dahlmeier, Lawrence Howell, Herman Quintel, A1 Houston, Jerry Walker and John Thomas. Herman Quintel, John Thomas, and Glen Harbour form a boys’ Trio known as, “The Choristers.” In the future the boys hope to have two Glee Clubs so that they may separate the beginners from the advanced group. At all their performances the boys are accompanied on the piano by Leila Mae Blount. The Oroville Union High School Cadets under the able leadership of Mr. L. N. Reinecke, have taken an active part in the school affairs this year. In March they competed against Chico but were beaten by three tenths of a point. April 2nd to 9th inclusive 43 members of the cadet corps attended the annual camp at Camp Marion. San Luis Obispo. There they did themselves proud. Dinuba and Oroville tied for first place in the squad drill the first time. In the second competition Oroville won first place. Our boys also came in second in the platoon drill. The cadets put on one of the most successful dances of the school year. Cadet Officers and Color Guard Above: Capt. Helmick, Capt. Taylor. 1st Lieut. Bolin, 2nd Lieut.

Coach Ralph Conrad A Football Team Bottom row-Carpenter. O'Hanlon. Dabbs, Bidwell, Hows, Taber. Simmon:;. Countryman, Lane, Herbert, Hawks. Top Row-Kroeger, Perry, Lucchesi, Erock. Martin, Rogers, Greene, Anderson, Hagan, Evich. F. Rowe. Coach Wilson. Cn October 7, the Oroville Tigers opened their football season with Willows, and snarling their worst, downed the visitors C to 0. he one and only score came late in the fourth quarter after a drive which began on the Willows 41 yard line and climaxed after Brock’s plunge from the 4 yard marker in which he hit the line with all the ferociousness of a lion. The game was marked by many Oroville penalties which cost them many precious yards. The locals put on two drives, one the touchdown and another which ended on the 15 yard line after a fumble. The scoring drive started with Brock making 8 yards in two plays, followed by McKillop’s 1, and again Brock adding a first down on the 30, McKillop 4, Rowe 4, and Me Killop set the ball on the 19, first down with 3 minutes to play. McKillop gained 9 and Brock made it a first on the 6. McKillop went to the 4 and then failed to gain. With a minute to go Brock plunged over. The outstanding players were Martin, Hagan and Countryman. The following week saw Woodland triumph over the Tigers 37 to 0 in as one-sided a game as you could expect to see. The Wolves outplayed Oroville in every department qf the game. O’Hanlon, Green, Bidwell, and Martin were the only locals to make even a fair showing. The next week. Oroville left town for Grass Valley, where they werq nosed out by the score of 12 to 6. After the Miners had scored in the second quarter, Oroville came right back, thrusting at the Grass Valley line and tieing the score at half time. Early in the third quarter, Grass Valley completed a 25 yard pass to a touchdown, where again they failed to convert. A last quarter drive by the Tigers failed to aid their score as a fumble cost them the ball on Grass Valley’s 7 yard line. This game showed up Oroville’s weak pass defense, as both the Miner scores were made on passes. Brock, Greene, and Rogers played fine ball and were very valuable to the locals. The next week spelled ruin for the Tigers, as the league winners from Marysville Hi, ran roughshod to a 34 to 0 triumph. The locals looked weak in every stage of the game and at no time threatened to score on the larger and more experienced Indians. Oroville avenged their last week’s beating by crushing Yuba City on the following Friday by a score of 18 to 0. Backs, Howard Brock and Jack McKillop, continually sloshed off tackle and around ends, knocking down and carrying with them most of the opposing secondary. Brock carried from the 3, to score the first touchdown after a 64 yard march and followed four minutes later with a pass to Countryman, good for 36 yards and a second touchdown. Late in the fourth quarter, McKillop climaxed an 88 yard march with an end run from the 13 to their final score. Every member of the Tiger eleven played a fine game. The Red Bluff Spartans visited next and went home with an easy 24 to 0 victory. The locals failed to provide much competition, but this can be blamed on injuries which hampered the locals all week long. Freitas and Zumwalt were responsible for most of the Spartan gains, which were made through the center of the line. The locals reached their glory when they met the highly favored and bitter rivals from Chico, who were extremely lucky to get by with a 7 to 7 tie. Oroville marched early in the game to the Panther three yard line where a fumble gave the ball to Chico, but came back in the second quarter to march 30 yards, with Brock going over from the two yard line. The visitors came back strong in the second half to score after five minutes of play, but were checked after this, as the Tigers once more took command of things. Things were well under way for the locals during the rest of the contest. The Tigers closed the season rather sorrowfully, traveling to Redding where they were set back, in a hard fought thriller, 19 to 6. The home team eleven scored first, converted and then were outfought and outgained by the locals who were not able to put over a touchdown after two threats. The third march found the Tigers going over the coveted line for six points, but unable to put over the conversion. The last half was about even regardless of he fact that Redding scored twice on breaks and the locals threatened many times again. Jack Rowe played a fine game for the locals. This contest brought to a close the high school football career of Howard Brock, Roy Rogers, Windy O’Hanlon, Bob Dabbs, Vic Martin, Mac Hagan, Howard Brock (upper left) A hard runner and vicious blocker who was a mainstay on this year’s varsity. Coach Wilson will miss him next year. Jack Terrell (second left) With two years of varsity football to come Jack should turn into one of the best linesmen in the school’s history. Windy O’Hanlon (upper center) This “fightin’ Irishman” was a demon on defense. What'll we do without him next year? Leland Green« (second right) A stellar lineman with plenty of fight who will be one of the veterans returning to next year’s squad. Victor Martin (upper right) He was the biggest man on the squad and the best tackle in many years at this school. This was his last year. Kenneth Lane (second row right) Bud didn’t play much this season but when he did the other team knew it. Bud is another of the 10 seniors on last season’s squad. Malcolm Hagan (second row left) What would we have done without him. The only quarterback on thio year’s team. He will be hard to replace next year. Mike Lucchesi (third row left) Mike played plenty of guard last year and his fight and charge will be missed next year. Roy Rogers (third row right) Rated as one of the best centers in the N. C. H. S. A. L. Just another cow-puncher, he played his last high school football this year. Dick Herbert (fourth row right) Dick didn’t play much but he was always on hand, ready, willing and able. Herbert will be missed next year. Bob Dabbs (bottom row left) An end whom nobody visited. They didn’t like the way he tackled. Countryman will take his place next year. Charlie Bidwell (bottom second) If there’s a fight around Charlie’s in it. A tough guard who will be hard to replace on next year’s squad. Hilton Simmons (bottom third) A rough and tough guard. He’ll be in there along side of Greene next year. Doug Countryman (bottom fourth) He played at end while Dabbs was injured. A consistent fighter and a vicious tackier. Doug has one more year of football. Jack Rowe (bottom left) One of the best broken field runners to roam the local gridiron in many a year. He will be back to lead next year’s backfield. o Ray Inman (Top row left He specialized in long runs. With a little more weight he’ll be varsity. Munson Everett (Top row second) His fire gave him a regular berth at end. Mr. Wilson will probably change him into a guard. Herman Quintal (Top row Third ) All he lacked was experience but next year he will be a regular. A tricky quarterback and a wonderful kicker. Jesus Gomez (Top row right) He wasn’t very fast but he certainly can catch passes. Next year he wiil be on the varsity. Lawrence Howell (Second row left) Considered by Coach Lang as the toughest man on the squad, his charge will make him a mainstay on the varsity next year. Galen O’Quinn (Second row right He was second string but a whale of an end. If he’d worked a little harder he would have been a starter. Bud Edwards (Third row left) Bud was thv.- greatest asset the B team had. His blocking was terrific and he led every play. Clifford Sanderson (Third row right) Tip was the best defensive man on the squad. Mr. Wilson has his eye on him for next year’s varsity. Clair Jon«s (Bottom row left Shifted from full to tackle, he played in every game and was in on tne majority of the tackles. Howard Casagrande (Bottom row second) Howard was considered the best end in the B league. A wonderful receiver and a fighter on defence. Warren Seifert (Bottom row third) With a little more experience Warren will be a regular. He has two more years of high school football. John Aicega (Bottom row fourth) Star half-back, triple threat, a spot passer, excellent runner and a fine punter. The reason for many a Kitten victory and Oroville’s choice for All-American. Iveslie Bidwell (Bottom row fourth) r'or his size he had more drive than a truck. Mr. Wilson will probably change him from a fullback to quarter.

The Tiger Kittens started the season with a decisive victory over their old rivals, the Chico B’s. In this game the squad was exceptionally green, so scored only two touchdowns. The second encounter came at Grass Valley on a sawdust field. The Miners won 13 to 0. The game was not as bad as the score might lead one to suspect. The Kittens were supposed to have been greatly outclassed, but proceeded to put up a gallant fight which came very close to netting them two touchdowns. This game ended the practice season. The first league game was with Marysville who came out of the fray on the short end of a 33 to 0 score. Spectacular passing and pass receiving featuring Johnny Aicega and Howard Casagrande lead to most of the scores. In their second adventure in league competition the B’s were trounced 19 to 0 by a powerful Yuba City team. Without the passing of their first string left-half he Kttiens were pushed all over the turf. The game with Gridiey was played on a rain soaked gridiron. This game was won oy the B’s by the score of 19 to 0. Even though it was raining and the players were handling a wet, slippery ball, all of the scores came by passes. The passing combination was Aicega to Casagrande and Gomez. After downing Gridiey the Kittens proceeded to top off a very succcessful season by trouncing their bitter rivals, Chico, for the second game of the season by a score of 31 to 6. Also in this game the brilliant passing of Aicega proved very effective. The kittens placed second in their league, winning three games and losing cplv f r� r r + -) A Basketball Top row: Mr. Lang, Coach, K. Lane, V. Uren, C. Rowe, H. Everett, M. Lloyd, V. Quintana.

Although neither A’s or B’s had a championship quintet, they finished well up in the standings. The varsity got into a playoff for the league championship but were nosed out by Marysville in a 29-27 thriller. The local A's started out slowly, dropping their initial contest to Grant by seven points, 16-9, but followed this by a decisive 45-20 win over the Lincoln Zebras. The Tigers, at this stage of the season, looked rough but suprisingly well, considering the short time they had been out for practice. The locals looked strong in their next battle, with the outstanding Roseville five, and although losing by one point, assured local fans that Oroville was a team that would bear watching in the coming league race. The league opener was a disappointing afair to the locals, who were defeated by Yuba City in an overtime battle, 30-32. The Tigers were much the better team, as they proved in the second meeting, but were just having an off night with all the luck going to the Honkers. Local fans began to get weary after the A’s second contest which they dropped to their rivals from Chico 22-23, but the players kept up the spunk which carried them through to a successful year, and walloped the Honkers of Yuba City, in their second league encounter. The Honkers were at a loss and helpless at the hands of Brock. Lloyd, and Quintana, as the Tigers piled up a thirteen point win. After beating the Marysville Indians 32-24 on the local court, the varsity was edged out of a victory by two points, in an overtime hair raiser on the Indians court. The Tigers hit their point of prefection in the following game at Chico, and paced by Howard Brock, who scored 20 points, ran up a 40-27 victory. The locals’ saddest accident occured in the league playoff with Marysville, as with 15 seconds to play, just after McKillop had tied the contest up, Nealon of Marysvile, slipped through the Oroville defence to score the winning two points. The varsity roster was composed of Red Lloyd who led the local scorers with 104 points for the year, Howard Brock, Mac Hagan, Val Quintana, Jack McKillop, A1 Roberts, Darrell Johnson, Tip Rowe, Dick Herbert, Hank Everett, Robert Lague, Bud Lane and Vernon Uren. The scores for the year follow: Oroville 9 Grant Union 16 Oroville 45 Lincoln 20 Oroville SY5 Roseville 26 Oroville 47 Gridley 23 Oroville 29 Placer Union 36 Oroville 30 Yuba City 32 Oroville 22 Chico 23 Oroville 45 Yuba City 32 Oroville 32 Marysville 24 Oroville 30 Marysville 32 Oroville 40 Chico 27 Oroville 27 Marysville 29 B Basketball Top row: J. Aicega, B. Westwood, A. Inman, M. Everett. H, Carpenter, G. Franklin, C. Kroeger, Mr. Lang, Coach. Bottom row: C. Porter, Mgr.. H. Dahlmeier. J. Gomez, H. Quintel, W. Mitchell. G. Casagrande, Mgr. The Tiger B team came through their season with a record of six wins and five losses. The first practice game was lost by four points to Grant Union on their field. The locals were sadly lacking in practice in this contest as most of them had been out only a week. A 32-22 win over the Lincoln Jebras featured the scoring of Don Sawtelle, Johnny Aicega, and Jesus Gomez showed the B’s in better form for their second game. Then followed a loss to Roseville, an easy win from Gridley and another loss to the fast team from Placer High. The Bees journeyed to Yuba City the following week where they met the Honklets of that school, in thir opening league contest, winning handily 28-23. The locals played rough ball in this game, and were by no means playing their usual way. Chico was the next victim of the Tigers, as Aicega and Gomez led the locals in trouncing the Panthers, 38 to 20. The Tigers increased their pace in the next contest, and behind Johhny Aicega, who accomplished the outstanding feat of scoring 30 points, stepped all over the Yuba City Honklets 51-21. Aicega was hotter than any player who played on the local field this year, and kept the locals way in front. The Marysville Bees were pressed to win in their game with a 40-34score. • Aicega, Gomez and Sawtelle could not even hit the backboard, so Coach Lang played his second team most of the contest. The next Marysville game was another loss, 39-11. Again the sharpshooters were off their game. Coach Lang pepped up the locals some in the next battle, and partly on account of this and partly because they were playing their old rivals Chico, they emerged victorious in a 20-27 hair raising game. Without a doubt, Aicega was the most important man on the quintet, playing both guard and forward and handling both positions in great style. Gordon Franklin, proved himself worthy by making first string Bees, after playing the entire Cee league. Jesus Gomez was a dependable man on the backboard as was Tip Kroeger, and Don Sawtelle was a good field shot. Herman Quintel, Baba Inman, Bob Westwood, Harry Carpenter, Munson Everett, Walter Mitchell and Harold Dahlmeier completed the B squad. The scores for the entire season were: Oroville 15 Grant Union 19 Oroville 32 Lincoln 22 Oroville 22 Roseville 32 Oroville 37 Gridley 30 Oroville 20 Placer 36 Oroville 28 Yuba City 23 Oroville 38 Chico 20 Oroville 51 Yuba City 21 Oroville 34 Marysville 40 Oroville 11 Marysville 39 Oroville 30 Chico 27 Baseball The Tiger baseball nine had a poor season competitively this year. The team did not finish the league on top with a championship, nor did they win their Block O, but every member had a lot of fun out of the sport. Geoige Price and Bob Dabbs held down the position on the mound and both did great jobs, considering the none too good support given them by the, infield which usually appeared nervous. Price will undoubtedly handle the same position next year Dabbs will graduate this spring. Mac Hagan came up from second string third baseman to grab off the catcher spot in midseason, beating out Bud Gott and Thompson. Mac will leave this year. The infield this season found Vic Martin on first, backed by Jack Terrell, Wendel Stringfellow, at second with Howard Casagrande making it hot for him all season long. Howard Brock took care of short stop ahead of Wilton Taber, with Bob Strang handling 3rd base with great skill. Martin and Brock are the only members to graduate. Stringfellow. Quintana, Steen, and Lloyd alternated in the field. Bidwell also saw some action. Two more members on the roster were Howe, and Gomez who were relief pitchers. These two boys handled the pitching on the second A tedm. Brock, Quintana and Steen led the Tiger sluggers, finishing the league season with averages of well over 300. Track Headed by Coach Lang, the Oroville Tiger tracksters had the most successful season of any local track squad during the last several years. Herman Quintel, limited sprinter was the outstanding cinder man of the year winning seven first places in a row. Quintel took first in the 100 and 220 yard dashes in each meet and also a first in the football throw at Grid-ley. The day of his win in the pigskin toss, Herman set a new Gridley track record in the 100 at 10.1 seconds. The limited and unlimited teams were in their prime during the second Gridley meet when they both came home with wins. This was indeed a great honor, as there were six schools entered. The league meet this year, was held at Chico and found the stiffest competition the Tigers ran up against all year. Quintel came through with a victory in both sprints as was expected, and added to this, a fourth in the football throw. Russ Brinkerhoff came through with an outstanding toss of 17 feet 7 inches in the football throw to take the event. Gordon Franklin leaped 5 feet four inches in the high jump for a first and also grabbed a second in the broad jump while George Gannon pole vaulted 10 feet 10 inches to tie for a first, and at the same time tied for third in the high jump. In the unlimited division Jack Rowe came home with the most honors, taking a second in the 220 and a third in the 100. John Thomas ran a marvelous race in the 880, coming up from fifth place to grab a second, one foot behind the winner. Bud Lane tied for second in the high jump while broad jumping 19 feet 6 inches for a fourth. Bob Westwood tied for second with Lane in the high jump and at the same time grabbed a fourth in the pole vault while Bruno Giovannoni placed third in the shot put. Fourth places were won by Bob Martin in the 440. Tine Van Duzer in the 880, Albert Voorhies in the mile and Harry McCurry in the 160 yard low hurdles. The relay squad finished fourth. Tennis The Tiger netsters turned in an outstanding season this year, winning all but one of their practice games and the bigger percentage of league ones. Headed by the freshman sensation, Bobby McKillop, at the number one singles spot the locals trounced each team they met at least once, with the exception of Grass Valley, which is regarded as one of he best teams in the state. McKillop played first singles throughout the year and was defeated only three times in approximately 20 matches. Bobby is expected to go to town next season again, as he will probobly add a few inches to his height by that time. Henry Everett played the number two singles and is the only graduating member of the squad. Hank played fine, steady tennis all year and deserves lots of credit. The number one doubles was composed of Munson Everett and Harold Dahlmeier. both sophomores. The second doubles team was made up of two of the three following boys: Allan McLain, Arlin Rhine, and Walter Mitchell.. These boys alternated changing the line-up for each match. A great deal of credit goes to Coach Fylling who has done so much to maintain enthusiasm in tennis. Rallies O-R O-V-I-L-L-E Oroville! TIGERS Tigers! Oroville Tigers, Oro-ville Tigers, G-r-r-r-rah! Many a time the entire student body has virtually roared these same words under the influence of our peppy yell leaders, Eud Gott, Alice Nicolai and Mary Gillis. Buddy Gott. a junior, served as spokesman of the trio this year. To make his interest in leading yells even greater. Buddy played baseball this spring. Alice Nicolai of the auburn hair was the second member of the trio. Alice graduates this year, and her place will be difficult to fill next next year with a yell leader as lively and efficient. The third member Mary Gillis, is especially noted for the volume and pitch of her voice. She is also a junior, who may again be leading yells next year. In addition to the yell leaders we have the school band under the direction of Mr. Ferdinand Giovannetti. Time and time again the band has aided in pepping up school spirit. Not only has the band played at school rallies, but it has followed our teams to the turf and courts. Volleyball Top row: H. Treichler. T. Nicolai. A. Nicolai, H. Anderson, A. Kehriotis, R.

Tennis The third of the girls “big three’ volleyball, basketball, and tennis has had two principal divisions this year. The first has been coaching by Miss Carpenter in both the fall and spring semesters. The girls were divided into two groups beginners and advanced, and as such received separate instruction. As a girl improved her tennis, she was shifted into advanced groups. The second division was the girls’ tennis ladder. This was conducted in the spring sumester under the supervision of Lucy Prado, spring tennis manager. The tennis ladder is composed of advanced tennis players who play matches to determine their relative standing. At the end of six or seven weeks the ladder is closed and the top four girls are awarded circles. In addition to these awards, the top girl may be given a gold tennis racket and the girl who shows the most improvement may be given a can of tennis balls.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. This old adage certainly applies to the senior girls of the class of 1939. From fourth place in basketball as freshmen, this group of girls have worked up to be the champions of both the A and B leagues. In addition to the A league, a B league was started this year to allow more girls to participate in basketball. The girls were divided into two groups depending upon their playing ability. Due to the few junior girls out, the juniors were not able to take part in the B league, but the other three classes did. Both senior teams won in the round robin tournament by having the most points. In such a tournament a win counts two points, a tie counts one point, and a loss does not count any points. Each team plays six games in either the A or B league. The final whistle of a play-off junior senior game found the score at 35-16 in favor of the seniors. In the A league the ranking was: seniors, 11 poin; juniors, 9 points; freshmen, zero points. In the B league the ranking was: seniors, ten points, sophomores, eight points, and freshmen zero points. Girls who played on the senior A and B teams and eligible for basketball circles are: Betty Kingdon, Alice Nicolai, Dorothy Gray, Genevieve Scott, Lucy Prado, Alice Cole, Roberta Stapleton, Gladys Wood, Harriet Hills, Ruth Johnson, Jean Cummings, Helen Treichelr, Laura Dickenson, and Barbara McCormac.
