May God watch over us all 'til that day when our Tiger Can discard his khaki for the purple and whiteg his rifle and bayonet for school books and footballsg noise, confusion and death for security and happiness. Though many of us may not return we promise our noble Tiger shall never live in chains.

Why, then, should man in his wisdom Forget in his moments ol gloom That night gives birth tothe morning: That dawn will be coming --and soon? --Reynolds Reyburn Class of 43 Evelyn Dabbs Richard Walburn FUHEUIURD This book has been dedicated by it's staff to the cause of victory. It is fit- ting that such a dedication be made by a class that is graduating in the mid- st of a great warg a class that has itself felt the impact of war and has seen many of its mates called to defend their countryg a class that as a unit has answered every call made upon it for service to their country. Now you go out to a larger call where life itself may be the price you will have to pay for your devotion. It is then that the last full measure of manhood and womanhood will assert itself. lt is then that you will realize that the homely virtues of honesty, morality, integrity. fairdealing and faith in God are and have been the foundations of decent living since the beginning of time. In them you will find the well springs of your courage. You believe in victory over your physical enemy. You believe in vic- tory over forces of evil and enemies of your way of life. But never forget that to win these you must first win victory over yourselves-- to attune yourselves to live the good life before you recommend it to others. There- fore when you dedicate yourselves to victory let it be a three-fold vic- tory over your enemies, over evil, and over yourselves. Merge these three and you will have VICTORY. May this book be an additional tie that binds you together in the great adventure ahead--May the God of our Fathers protect you while you are apart one from the other.

Mr. James C. Nisbet, Principle, Mr. Paul Stollar, Dean of Boys and Miss Freida Beik, Dean of Girls. Added to their many duties as heads of the administrative department this year are the responsibilities of teaching the students how to win a war and yet prepare lthemselves for the peace to come. Mr. Nisbet has organized military groups, pre-induction courses and all our Wai'- time activities. As Dean of Boys, vice-principal and Student Body Adviser, Mr. Stoll- ar has kept things running smoothly in the matters of finance, has acted as adviser for the Nuggevt and still managed to adopt the latest ideas into his own classes. A f To Miss Beik, in addition to her duties as counselor of girls, fall the re- sponsibility of organizing the Girls League work, Red Cross activities, arid the rationning board assistants. She supervises the keeping of all re- cords of credits and courses which with wartime changes is a job in itself. With our Tiger's future in such capable hands we feel confident he will come out on top. ,AMF I V' II f I ,3nfi f lMMLwUWL l X 'ilbfs' at ian lndlw Und N f 3- HDHIIHISTHHTIUH Mr. Graham Miss Martin Two others wfho guide the Tiger along his Way are Miss Mildred Martin and Mr. George Graham. Miss Martin, as Clerk of the Board, keeps for the district the sch0o1's financial records. Besides her regular duties she does a thousand little extras which make her endeared iand indispensable to the Whole student body. Mr. Graham is the gruff, truant officer who keeps all the wayward Ti- ger kittens in line. He probably knows as much about the students as they do themselves. His summers he devotes to repairing some three thousand textbooks. Everyone knows his prickly exterior hides a heart of gold. ,.- ff a9 -..--x 'vuJ i1, L3 Ex L2-fl ,,,- '. , -elk ,.fi3.,KG I' 1' Q? ,xi H x ,,,-- -.Wx if X X ' ' ,six Qvfx XJ ' fl' 5 am 2: ' PD Q V, N 5 53 gf 9 ' .kt-, If A Xt 'T r .

To accomplish this the freshmen are given a thorough foundation in English fundamentals interspersed with units of short stories, poetry and one classic novel. The second year classes have a review of fundamentals, a wider range of plays and stories, and emphasis on oral English. The Junior year in- cludes remedial work in fudamentals with the study of American literat- ure correlated with American history. The fourth year stresses English literatue and peparation for Subject A examinations. Mrs. Clemo, Mr. Mognis, Miss Winger, and Mrs. Spencer lead these classes. Journalism classes give an outlet for those interested in that particular part of written English. Mr. Campbell teaches this subject. fl ljfblq worth' fl ' k LVM, ff A ' d X . Vi 095 Mrs. Johnson With so many jobs opening in this field, commercial classes wer ex ceptionally large this year. At the first of the year Miss Beik, Mr. Schrader. Miss Larson, and Mrs. Bloom led this department. Whe'n Mr. Schrader accepted a principalship in Fort Bragg, and Mrs. Bloom joined her husband in Boston, two new teachers took their places. Mrs. Johnson took over the typing classes of Mrs. Bloom and Mrs. Twad- dle took Junior Business, Typing and Bookkeeping formerly handled by Mr. Schrader. SCIENCE Mr. G. tpef p. Miss Larsen Mi. Campbell ?l I f e Fiexld of science shares government approval with that of mathe- ma ics. All the courses now emphasize those angles stressed by the gov- erment, especially to induce the students to enter aviation and navigation. Mr. Stollar offers the advanced sciences, Chemistry and Physics. Mr. Gant- ner teaches Chemistry, Electricity and General Science. Miss Larson di- rects the Biology classes. The photography course is given by Mr. Camp- bell. KL 4 N W' 7 X t 1 N ,i Z.,,fL .f ,vw ' 1 1,1 ' . 5 I syfhifq v, f l,. ,.m ' ff iw M , ,,1 NW nd f7dlVf51bfC' 0 SUUIHL SCIENCE l I lflr. Fylling Mrs. Emery Know what we're fighting for, might well define the aims of the Soc ial Science department. The students not only learn why, but who, and where, and how. Emphasis is also placed on post war aims. Freshmen citizenship classes are taught by Mr. Fylling and Mr. Hollidge. World History is taught by Mr. Fylling, Mr. Campbell. United States History courses were taken over by Mrs. Emery when Mr. Bloom left for the Navy. It was with deep pride that the students welcomed their popular coach and teacher when he paid a short visit as Lt.fJ. GJ Arthur C. Bloom. HRT HHU HIUSIU Mr Summy Miss Tinjum The continued interest in this department shows that although they go all-out for the war effort, the students need some cultural, relaxing subjects. On the capable shoulders of Miss Tinjum falls the responsibility of the entire art department. Aside from her own classes, she is called on to direct and help with posters and decorations for the school dances. Many eyes were wet and throats aching when popular Mr. Summy. head of the music department, left the school for the Army Air Corps. Mrs. Johnson, new commercial teacher, stepped in and saved the music department from being dissolved. Through letters the students are eagerly following, !Vlr. Summy's pro- gress, and they know he is glad someone is carrying on the Band and Choir he worked with so diligently. .i i K Wim UMYY an fl . f'l1I7dlVl'5ib!p 5 Hd R tio M., ,UJ Q Humffcnnumlcs , l 6, Jkflrs. Rice Miss Wallace This department is managed by Mrs. Rice and Miss Wallace. The clothing classes, under the direction of Miss Wallace, besides the ac- tual making of garments, learn about styles, most becoming colors, and co- lor combinations, and still find time to sew for the Red Cross, In Mrs. Rice's cooking classes the girls learn, in addition to the actual preparation of food, about balanced diets, special diets for children, and invalids, budgeting and table etiquette. The problems of the Homemaking Classes center around the family: the home, its selection, style and color scheme, furnishings, budgeting, buying child care, and home nursing. The regular Red Cross course in Advanced First Aid was given all senior girls by Mrs. Ralph Hefner during the spring semester as part of their home making requirement. IHDUSTRIHL HRTS Mr. Tresler Mr. Brandstatt TJI1: Nelson The war has thrown ever-increasing importance and enthusiasm on the shop courses which were revised to prepare the students for new types of machins and jobs. Perhaps the most popular of the new jiire-induction courses is the senior Pre-Flight course, under the direction of Mr. Nelson and Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Brandstatt handles Auto Shop and Pre-Induction Shop classesg Mr. Tresler, Wood Shop and Pre-Induction Shop, Mr. Nelson, Printing, Radio. and Mathg Mr. Mitchell, Mechanical Drawing. l fldju Q l K Wifb L fbefly a ' '5Ibfc - RS-f Q Ixldllon mdlw X'-see.-.5 md 3 PHUSIUHL EUUUHTIUII if il! Miss Spreen Mr Harrison Increased interest and enthusiasm marked the students desire for a bet- ter physical condition preparatory for entering some service. Rigorous calisthenics, under the direction of Mr. Harrison and the new obstacle course left the boys stiff and sore at the first but gradually attain- ed the best condition in years. Though perhaps they haven't realized this hardening progress , Mr. Harrison vouches for results. This spring added interest was brought about through the boxing tourn- aments. The results of Miss Spreen's vigorous training are extremely noticeable among the girls in straighter backs, harder muscles, and far improved senses of balance. Tumbling and modern dancing have added to the in- terest and achievement. Although grumbles and groans were heard from both boys and girls at the strenuous program, very few will not grant that the physical condition of the students has been improved almost a hundred per cent. 2 2 Departing Veterans SEHIUH ULHSS f..

U. H. S. Showing the uppeifclzassmen that they had plenty of pep and school spirit, the freshmen turned. out in sp-- lendid form for their Reception. Led by well-chosen exectives, the sophomore class was recognized bg' the other sudents as being a high-spirited and active group by being re- presented in every organization in the school. Upperclassmen at last, the juniors selected capable officers. Gaining still more recognition in the field of sports, the class was well represented in all school activities. Pete Fitzsimmons and Earl Higgins played football and Roger Van Duzer was an outstanding member of the championship basketball team. In the spring, Bob Roney turned up the cinders ru nning' hurdles. Showing talents in other fields besides sports, juniors took two of the main parts in the operetta given in April. Band, dramatics, G. A. A., Block O , and cadets had many juniors participating. In the spring the Junior Prom was a big sucess. The last year at O. U. H. S. passed very quickly. In spite oi' ware-time re- stricitons, the football and basketball teams played championship games The Sudent Body was ably directed by Roger Van Duzer, J ei ry Sloan, and Gertrude Nisbet. The newly-organized Girls' Cadet Corps was excellent- ly staffed by major Rowena Allen and other senior girls as of ficers. J 0 Ann Childs was selected as the first girl president of the class. A musical senior, George Cunha, wielded the baton for the school dance band all year in a most professional maner. This recorder of Scemor affairs is saddened by the fast that quite a few of the Senior boys and several of the teachers were called for the service. We are proud of them, and we hope they will do well from it. May we be as long remembered by it as it will be remembere M5 s Wm ifpfffy an J This Senior C1555 has given much to O. U. H. S. and has ejained much , and revered by us. fg46f0f' K l I I nd mdi.,f5ziwgf Nat ion ii.- 1 U. X .. X Af' 5 ' . ,gf ., f . .g ix Q 0-QQ Q3 NUR WILLIAM I-'.

The second semester Ken- ny O'Brien took over Del's job and Larry Phillips was elected vice-presi- dent. Viola retained her job as secretary, and Bob Powers was on the Ex- ecutive Committee. They had many outstanding students in. the field of sports, such as Terrible Ted Tannehill, Puzzy Hickok, and Del Bartley. Mary of the girls participated in the G. A. A. games. Eleven juniors were on the Hon.- or Society. Fooling everybody because it had been postponed so many times, the Junior Prom was held on April 2 with April Fool as the theme .

So, our turn came and we put out this, our annual, the Nugget of 1943, Early in the fall of 1942, the Executive Committee chose a staff to edit the book of memoirs of 1942 and 1943. Heading this staff as editor was Daryl Porter. On him fell the responsibility of organizing and producing a year book. The early part of the year was spent in selecting a cover, theme, and varw ious other items essential in putting out an annual. Also, at this time, Sen- iors could be seen going down to the photographers for their pictures which would be appearing in the Nugget. Soon after, various group pictures were taken. G. A. A., Block O , Honor Society, and class pictures were some of the many taken. Gradually, bit by bit, the items began to come in. They were immediately assembled, and the Nugget was born. The Nugget Staff really had fun in making this Nugget and they hope the staff next year has as much fun. K Wffb Llbfffy Q 0 I7 6 Natl 6' W Factory Workers DHHHIHTIIIS The Thespian group of Oroville Union High School this year was not or- ganized into a club as it had been in previous terms. As a result the quan- tity of programs was cut down to three events, but the quality was as high as before. The group was headed by Elaine Fylling, who was the real back-bone for all programs presented. The first of the three programs given for the student body was the Lin- coln's Birthday skit put on during February. The main part of the enter- tainment was a play en.titled The Perfect Tribute, which starred Bob Bolles as a woundede Confederate soldier, Eugene Olsen as President Lincoln, Larry Stram as the soldier's brother and Gertrude Nisbet as nar- rator. In celebration of the birthday anniversary of George Washington on Feb- ruary 22, the group put on a short patriotic program which included the plege of allegiance, numbers by the A Cappella Choir and an address by E- laine Fylling. As its part of the program during National School Week, the Thespian group gave a three act comedy entitled Not Quite Such a Goose. Featured in the play were Harry Graffe as a boy veiy much interested in baseball Mary Lou Land as his social climbing sister Ruth Woodward as his mother Llaude Wilson as his sister s tennis playing and rose loving boy friend and Patti Randolph as a friend of Mary Lou and later of Harry Just lcefar Q K LVJIQ Lfbefly All-in-all the programs given by the group were very good. Keep up the good work, Thespians!! .l - E 1,yd'1vJ:?1-:.5- jx ii Ndfiflf' E XN,....X nd TIGER IHIHHUH 1' - ,ipusfnut AP ieazcvuuili me Remember that fine paper that was put out this year by members of the journalism class? Well, here you see that swell gang of kids that Wrote it and made it the success that it was. During the first half of the year the paper was ably edited by June Thompson. She was assisted by Bob Williams as Sports editor and by Marjorie Helton and Barbara Carlin feature co-editors. The second se- mester the editorship was taken over by Larry Stram, he retained the same assistants as June had before. fWho says :LTO the victor belongs the spoils? J Business manager for the entire year was Bill Brewster. But don't think that the above-named did ALL the work of putting out the paper twice monthly. They were aided by fifteen other journalism students, who also had an eye for news. Eileen Caughey, for instance, was editor for the annual Cub Edition, which was printed in January. The entire paper was written and edited by first year journalism students. The advisor and worthy censor for the group was Albert Campbell, a former newspaper man, who could teach not only the pratical but also the bookey side of newswriting. So we salute you, members of the Journalism Class, and long live the TIGER MIRROR! G.H.H. . ' V 1 - I n . , The Girls Athletic Association is under the leadership of Miss Spreen. Aniy girl who has earned 125 points during e. year is eligible for member- ship. These points may be earned by after school sports or outside points.

Ted Tannehill was elected presidentg Daryl Porter, vice presidentg and Bob Powers, secretary. In the next meeting the members voted to change the rule for stripes on sweaters. The new rule provided for one stripe for every block won in a different sport, only one stripe to be allowed for any one sport. In the spring semester the officers were president, Kenny O'Brien, vice president Delmar Bartley. Bob Powers was again elected secretary. The annual Block O dance was given April 28 with music furnished by the Royal Tigers. It was one of the best dances of the year. A good job of decorating was done by Puzzy Hickok and crew. The floor was formed into a ring with couples having to climb through the ropes as they entered. All the cups that have been won by the teams in the past were displayed at the dance. Finally after much delay the annual Freshman-Sophomore Brawl was put on by the Block O on May 7, with the Sophornores coming out on top. Many new members were initiated into the Block O at the end of the year. BHHD Sixty strong they are and a finer all-round band cannot be found any'- where. But we don't need to praise them to the skies to you, you saw them march and heard them play for football games and parades and the annu- al Band-Choir Show. You're the judges---and you KNOW they're good, and you're mighty proud of them, too. During the first part of the year the Band was directed by Charles Sum- my who was called into the armed froces in Feburuary. When Mr. Summy left, members got together with the choir and gave him a fine wrist watch as a token of their appreciation oi the fine Work he had done here. The baton was then taken up by Mrs. Maybeth Johnson. The slogan, Business as Usual, for once was a good idea and things worked out beautifully. During the year concerts were givevn for the Rotary Club, the high school student body, various civic groups in the community, and for the annual Band-Choir Show held in the latter part of April. Many of the members got together and formed a Pep Bafnd for football and basketball games, also. At the Chico-Oroville football game the Band performed in traditional style by giving a wonderful exibition of drill work. Spectators were pleased to see a giant CH and a Block O formed by the group while marching on the field. Drum major was Roger Van Duzer. Included in the repertoire of the band are such international favorites as Selections from Rimsky-Korsakov Light Cavalry Tilsa s Processon to the Cathedral, Rhythmoods Autumn, and Poet and Peasar, Overture A mong the march numbers are Military Escort, Stars and 'itripes Forev I,l!!jf7Uv6fly Lights Out, Air Waves, and Washington Post.

They've played for many school dances in the past under the expert leadership of alumni Petey Kelly, Walter Mitchell, and Arlin Rhine. Last year they were officially christened Royal Tigers, which was a name submitted in a contest put on by the boys. This year the band consists of nine members. George 'tGeol' Cunha, Ray Dirt Sands, and Claude Mud Wilson hold down the sax positions Gordon Hobo Hobbie, Delbert Del Dudley, Larry C. C. Conger give out with the jive on their trumpets. As for scintillating troxnbofne play- ing, you will Search long to find a trombonist as fiep as Kenneth 'tBost-- wick O' Brien. Ted Theo Tannehill beats out the boogie on the piano and Herman Berger Schierenberg is the meanest drummer this side of Gene Krupa. Durimg the past year the Royal Tigers played for such outstanding school and community affairs as the Sophomore Hop, Girls' League Dance, Red Cross Benefit, and many out-of-town dances. Hep-Cat Johnny Gus,' Aleck was also a trumpeter with the band until January when he was called into Uncle Sam's Army. He was replaced by Larry Conger. H UHPPEHH IIHUIR Above you sec the members of the Oroville Union High School A Ca ppella Choir. The original choir was organized by Charles Summy four years ago as a consolidation of the boy's and girl's glee clubs. Since then the choir has become larger and better trained and has been very popular with civ- ic and social clubs throughout the community. When the choir was first organized members used the school graduation robes when giving a concert, but last year new bergundy-colored robes for the exclusive use of the choir were purchased. During the first half of the year the choir was directed by Mr. Summyg Im the second half by Mrs. Johnson. Members helped to purchase a wiist Watch as a farewell gift for Mr. Summy when he was called into the arm- ed forces. The biggest event of the year as far as the choir was concerned was the Sand-Choir Show held in the latter part oil April. Many weeks were spent 1 preparation for the event. During the year the organization sang for the Monday Club, Eastern Star, Women's Club, Northern California Fed- eration of Womens, Clubs convention, graduation and several of the local churches. Included in numbers learned by the group were: Cheribum Song, Deep River, Alleluia, Song of Sleep, Vesper Hymn, the Lords Prayer, and Bell Song.

Since then, weather per- mitting, they have been drilling and learning the different faces. In re- cent company competition, Company A was judged the best. Company A has improved greatly since its organization. You can't pos- sibly imagine how many upper-classmen did not know their left foot from their right foot.

The first outstanding event of the year for the Girls Lea.gue was the exchange meeting with Chico. The Chico girls gave an account of what they had been doing in their meetings, and We gave them our ideas. Around Christmas the Fall Tolo Dance, White Christmas, was sponcer- ed by the Girls League. The attendance was large and it proved suc- cessful. The girls graciously gave Christmas baskets, which were greatly appre- ciated. In the Spring, the dance, Spring is Sprungf, was also given by this ac- tive group. A new officer, Defense Chairman, was added this year. Her duties were centered around the organization's War work. A group was organized to fold bandages for the Red Cross. A number of girls continued this work throughout the year. Officers President Janet James Sec.

Membership is attained through points awarded for high scholarship. Ten points, consisting of at least three A's and one B, are required at the end of each semester. No C's are allowed. This Society is a member of the California Scholarship Federation, and all students who are members for six semesters, including one in their Senior year, are given life membership in the Federation. They also be- come seal bearers and a gold seal is placed on their diploma. Interschool activities were dispensed with this year because of war-time emergencies. However, the society continued its activity at home. An all-school Oratorical Contest was sponsored, the theme being HAmci'- ica's Place in the Future. Prizes awarded were War Stamps. A Key Collection Drive was also sponsored by this organization. icfffl' A Jllsf z-X . ,.

It is open to Junior and Senior boys wih an adequate background of mathematics and physics. Pre-flight is taught jointly by Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Nelson. Mr. Nelson teaches model construction and engine theory, and Mr. Mitchell teaches weather, navigation, and aerodynamics. The purpose of the class is to prepare the boys for duty in one of the fly?- ing branches of the armed services and for a place in the air-minded future after the war. During the second quarter the class was divided into wing, fuselage, and 'tail assembly groups for the building of two large model planes to demon- strate design and construction . One model was left uncovered to show the construction, while the other which belonged to Mr. Nelson, was cover- ed and equipped with a gasoline motor and UH controls so that it could be controlled as it flew at the end of its wires. It has flown many times with varying degrees of success. The class was taught from texts and from a series of still films which were issued by the Jam Handy Organization. A special daylight project- ion tunnel was built which enabled the pictures to be shown in the day- light and limited space. Two representatives of the class, Daryl Porter and Hailev Clewe, were guest speakers at the Fellows Club where they told of the class procedure and demonstrated models to an interested audience of local business men. Because it presents the whole field of aviation and gives not only a gen- eral background of flying but helps the student select the branch which in- terests him the most, the pre-flight class is one of the most valuable and in- teresting courses offered by our school Commandos VHHSITU FUUTBHLL The curtain rose on the local football scene as the Tigers collided with the Red Bluff Spartans on the Oroville gridiron. Outclassed, smaller but a fighting team, the Red Bluffers did well to hold Oro- ville to the score of 18 to 0. A pass from fullback Phil Sorenson, to sure fingered Al Watson was good for the first six points. Agiain in this quarter the passing combination of Sorenson and Watson tallied. Bud Brown, fullback, crashed through the Spartan forward wall, twist- ed and turned his Way for the final score. None of the conversions were good. Watson, Sorenson, Brown, and the punting of Tannehill featured the backfield work, while the heavy defensive work was done by Higgins, Fitzsimmons, and Del Bartley. Orland's Trojans were next. Big, but ineffective, they offered little opposition. There was no scoring the first half. In the third quarer Tan- nehill slid over the goal from the 10. Tannehill added a sensational 60 yard touchdown gallop, and Bud Brown passed to Don Casagrande in the end zone. All extra points were good, leaving final score at 21 to 7. After a scoreless first half the Tigers came back to score three touch- downs and two extra points to defeat Willows for their third con- secutive win. Tannehill cracked over from the 6 to score, Sorenson smashed the second one over. Williams pass to Brown added the final touchdown. Jim Crabtree shone in this game. Season's climax was the sensational 20 to 0 walloping administered to the Chico panthers,the first Oroville victory over Chico in 16 years. A tremendous crowd saw this Armistice Day spectacle. Higgins, recovery of a Chico fumble set up the first score.Tannehill took it over in two tries From then on it was all Oroville. Tannehill took it over again, this time from the one. That brilliant passing duo of Sorenson to Watson accounted for the last touchdown.

When the Red Bluff J. V. did not come the Kittens met the Tiger Re- serves in the Preliminary to the Varsity game. The experience and size advantage was to much and the Kittens were beaten 18 to 0. Williams scored twice and Jerry Sloan once for the Reserves. Cal Bell and line splitting Ray Rouse picked up many yards for the Kittens. The Kittens triumphed over Orland 21 to 0. Rouse dived over for first blood. Evans blocked a punt and end Gene Ludwig fell on it in the end zone for a touchdown. Cal Bell's pass to Jim Calcatera was good for ten yards and another score. Richter, Hedges, and Charley O'Byan stood out for the Kittens. While the Varsity was beating Willows, the Kittens were defeating the Grass Valley Reserves by a score of 12 to 6. Jim Calcatera ran a partially blocked punt over for a talley. Cal Bellis fourth quarter pass to Ganske was good. Grass Valley scored their touchdown on a pass in the final quarter. Art Bloom's Kittens played their last game under him as they batt- led a bigger Live Oak Varsity to a scoreless tie. Cal Bells running and passing was excellent but the Kittens could not get the ball over. Gerry Inman's punting kept the Kittens out of danger. Bob Ganske played with a broken finger. Richter,Jack Alpers, and Bruce Beal all played well. Bell was deservedly nominated for the player of the year award. Don Richter and Bob Ganske, only returning lettermen, were chosen co-captains.

Hickok and Price scored 6 points apiece. Following this the Tigers collided with Orland where they encountered unexpected opposition from Orland and its ace center, Vonasek. But the Tigers were victorious 29 to26. Then came the confident Panthers of Chico to crush the bewildered Tigers 35 to 21. Burt Heberliels scoring was too much for the Tigers. Roger Van Duzer was able to tally 8 points for the locals but that helped only a little. 'Continuing their schedule, with Durham as opponent, the Purple and White had a breather which they won easily 42 to 23. Puzzy Hickok went on one of his periodical scoring sprees to total 16 points. Before a large crowd of local fans the Tigers met the Panthers for the second time of the three game series. This time the Tigers were not awed by Chico. They built up an early lead and this time it was Chico's turn to become desperate. But they could do nothing against the inspired Harrison men and the game en- ded with the score 51 to 27 in Oroville's favor. Hickok and Van Duzer re- ally wenit to town to score 21 and 16 points, respectively. Durham, next on the list, again offered little opposition and every member of the squad saw action. Van Duzer's paced the 25 to 12 win. Exitement reigned as the Tigers prepared to meet Chico in he third and deciding game. Chico seemingly had the advantage as the game was on their home court. This was nullified by the fact that the Panthers had lost several key men through graduation. The Tigers triumphed easily 41 to 29. Guard Bob Williams was high point man with 11. Grass Valley was defeated' for the second time 47 to 36 to end the regular season. JUHIUH VHRSITU 'bra ,.. Considering that most of their players were only C or D classification, the Tiger Junior Varsity did not fare so badly this year. Actually they did far better than the records indicated. They won four games and lost the same number. A much bigger and vastly more experienced Grass Valley J. V. thumpecl the Kittens 37 to 13 the first time they took the floor. However this did not disturb them for they came right back in the second game to defeat Orland by three points, 19 to 16. Freshman Larry Warmack was high piont man in both games. Against Grasi Valley he scored six points and against Orland 6 points. Weiner scored 4 aga.inst Orland. Then came what was to be one of the major upsets of the year. Against the heavily favored Chico Juniors the Kittens, with Warmack scoring 9 points and Weiner 8, pulled an upset to win by a score of 32 to 25. After this stunn- ing upset they found no trouble in defeating Durham 25 to 16. Paul Wei- ner found the hoop that night for a dozen points. The second meeting with Chico was even more exciting than the first. The score was tied all the way. In the fin.al second of play George Lew of Chico scored to break the tie and give Chico a 26 to 24 victory. It was Durham again and the Kitt- ens were again victorious as the first time. This time the score was 20 to 29. Tall Del Dudley at center came into his own as he racked up nine points. Small but mighty Babe Aicega followed with 8 digits. Chico, fortified by the return of high scoring Don Adams was too much for the Kittens and this time it was not even close. They were beaten 32 to 20. Lew scored 12 points and Adams scored 11 points. Grass Vallev was the final game of the year. The Tiger Kittens provided much more opposition than in the opening game but fell 35 to 27 al high point man for the season. He scored a total of 54 points in 8 games. W He was followed by Warmack with 41. Del Dudley, Taber, Aicega, Hob- ie, and Sylva were all outstanding for the Kittens.

With the beginning of spring practice, the outlook for a complete season was not very bright. This year the team did not compete in regular league competition because of War conditions. Practice games also were none too numerous. Most of the practice games were played with the Olives, the local town team. On numerous Sundays the ,Tiger athletes teamed up with members of the Olives and engaged in a few practice games with a few of the soldier teams from the 13th Armor- ed Division from Camp Beale, near Marysville. The only two school games of the season were played with Oroville's traditional rivals, the Chico Panthers. In the first game the Tiger nine Was defeated to the tune of six to one by the Panthers. ln this first game, Rav Dolan, in his first game on the mound, starred offensively and defensively. Hurling only part of the game, Dolan struck out 3 and allowed only one run. Bob Dudley, stellar shortstop, rapped out three hits in a possible four times at bat. 1 All in all the team under the direction of Coach 'iBrick Mitchell had a sucessful season despite their setback handed them by the Chico nine. Some of the Tiger Varsity are expected to have regular spots on the O- live roster this season. A few of these players are, Earl Higgins, first base, Don Broombaugh, outfield, Saud Dunn, second base, Bob Dailey, oufieldg Dean Price, pitcher, and Bob Williams also of the outfield. Because of the absence of Art Bloom, former J ay Vee coach who is now in the services of Uncle Sam, there was no Junior Varsity baseball this year. A few of the veterans who will return for next yearis team are Larry Phillips, Bob Powers, Bob Dudley, Del Hedges, Gene Ludwig, Buddy Rich- ter, Dyke Richter, Bob Ganske and many other members of this year's squad. BUXIHB At the beginning of the second semester a new form of sport was intro- duced in OUHS. This new activity was boxing and was taught in all boys P. E. classes by Coach Harrison. First they were taught the boxers stance, how to lead and counter, ad- vance 8a retreat, how to cover, and many different counter blows. After six weeks of this trainin g the majority of the boys had become quite proficient with the gloves and an elimination tournment was started in which there were both junior and senior divisions of Bantam Weight, Feath- er Weight, Light Weight, Welter Weight, Middle Weight and Heavy Weight. The boys were classed in the junior and senior division according to their ability. Those in the senior division were those who had acquired exception- al skill from the instructions given by Mr. Harrison. Those in the junior di- vision were of the novice class. Out of these two groups 118 elimi- nation bouts were fought in which two hundred thirty seven boys partici- pated. Many exceptionally good bouts were derived from the elimination tournament. For the third consecutive year the finals were staged for the public. These bouts were held in. the Gym. This third annual boxing show proved to be the best one ever put on by the high school. All of the bouts were very successful. In the bout for Bantam Weight Championship, Dick Bacon defeated Billy Keyes. Babe Aicega triumphed over Johnny Lambros for the Feather Weight championship. In the Jun.ior Division of the Heavy Weight class Jimmy Toland out pointed Bob Babb. David Savidge defeated Roy Collier in the Light Weight junior division. Al Lincker out-punched Jim Crabtree for the Welter Weight Crown. In the special event by popular request Claude Broombaugh defeated Ken Graham.
