Outstanding were Jerry McAtee, Alber Davis, Harold Goff, Melvin Ferguson, and Bill Dowty. . Wilbur Lewis and Jearl Stafford. The Frosh on the C . 'team were Don Hagen, Edward Stram, Harold Caughey, an Jerry Blanchard. Many freshman girls were seen playing hard on Tuesday and 'Thursday afternoons to earn their G. A. A. points. The Dramatics class seemed to hold interest for many fresh- men. Among these were Marjorie Bonner, Marjorie O'Brien, Joanne Gerson, Jack Moseley, George Meyer, Dan Leahy and others. Many girls and boys took part in the activities of the var- ious Y', clubs. Freshmen did their part in providing entertainment for student body meetings and were always ready to do all they could in all school activities. 3 Joan Armstrong Jerry McAtee -Marjorie O'Brien Margie Ann O'Brien Doris Rowland Theda Davenport Mel Ferguson S M came dressed as babies under strict rules to do what was ask- ed of them by any upper classman.

UF '41 X SUPHUIHUHE lIlHSSf With high hopes and renewed vigor the Sophomore Class started the 1943-44 school year. With Freshman require- ments satisfactorily met and many new subjects to be consid- ered this class hoped to make the present year memorable for themselves and for their teachers. At the first class meeting the following students were elect- ed to guide Sophomore affairs for the first semester. Pres- ident-Del Dudley, Vice President-Jack McAtee, Secretary- Mel Forbes, and Executive Committee Member, Dick Hobbie. The Sophomore Hop, the first dance to be put on by the class, was held December 17, The theme, Winter Wonder Land, was very effectively carried out in red, white, and green decorations. Music was by the All Stars. Doughnuts and pop were on sale throughout the evening. Each person attending was asked to bring an inexpensive gift to be ex- changed later in the evening. The Dance was very successful considering the fact that a basketball game was being played in Yuba City at the same time. There are many promising athletes in the class both among the boys and girls. They should prove valuable next year. In February Kenny Borger was elected President for the Spring Semester. Ronnie Bell as Vice President, Maxine Rogers as Secretary, and Doris Everett as Executive Com- mittee Member were chosen to assist him. The Sophomore were well represented in the Band, Block O , Honor Society, Choir, Cadets, G.A.A., and other school organizations. The Student Body elected two Sophomores, Dean Rippey and Babe Aicega, to the offices of Athletic Manger and Block O Custodian. Let us hope this class will be worthy of being upper class- men. They are capable of it. -Delbert-Dudley' 5 I Q . .5 4 K 5 I i I 2 Del Dudley Kenny Borger B N , . i N I ULHSS UF 5 '46 JUHIUH CLHSS The Juniors started the school yea.r with a bang by elect- ing Don Richter, president, Joyce Onyett, vice-president, Betty Gardella, secretary, and Buddy Richter, Executive Committee member. Plans were made for the Junior program, which was pre- sented to the student body later in the year. Juniors supported the sales of war savings stamps and bonds in many ways. A bond show, put on at the State Theatre, was under the supervision and direction of Juniors. ln a mop-up campaign in the spring bond sales drive spon- sored by the Student Body, our class won by selling the larg- est number of bonds. At the beginning of second semester, election of officers was again held with such able leaders as Voyle McFarland,g presidentg Charles O'Bryan, vice-president, Judy Hyatt, sec-' retaryg Eddie Gurrola, Executive Committee member. March third the Junior Prom was held and enjoyed by all! who attended. The theme was St. Patrick's day with the traditional snakes, shamrocks, and horseshoes decorating thej auditorium. I Members of the class participated in the radio broadcastsi given over station KHSL. The last project of the year was the Senior Farewell.

See how timid they are! It seems as though they get smaller every year. These statements were the general exclamations upon the appearence of the fresh- man class of September, 1940. We were enrolled as the largest class yet to enter Oroville Union High School--231 in all. Now, as the spring semester of our senior year draws to a close we find ourselves number- ing only 79 in all, the smallest graduating class in about fifteen years. What has happened? A large number of our boys have gone to join the services of Uncle Sam. Our fall semester officers included Eileen Caughey as the first girl president of our class, Sam Swedenborg as vice pres- ident, Ysleta Campbell as secretary and treasurer, and Bob Powers as representative on the Executive Committee. In our spring semester we elected Puzzy Hickok as president and Jimmy Crabtree as vice president, Lillian Lang as secre- tary and treasurer, and Bob Fuller as senior representative on the Executive Committee. In all our four years of high school we have been well re- presented in athletics. This year in football Del Bartley was chosen captain of the varsity. Terrible Ted was named the most valuable man on the team. Puzzy Hickok was high point man in basketball, and in the Chico tournament Bob Dudley was selected as the best defensive player. The senior girls have also done their part, having won the championshipg in basketball and in volleyball. Y We were also well represented in the other organizationsl of the school. In the fall student body election two members ' of our class were tied in the closest election within the mem- ory of most of the faculty members of this school. The final returns were: Kenny O'Brien, 145 votes and Eileen Caug- hey, 144 A senior pot luck dinner was held at the close of the fall semester for the purpose of installing the spring class officers and also of saying good luck to Delmar Bartley on his de- parture for college. Del is only one among several who worked a little harder in order to earn enough credits to get his diploma before June. This plan enabled the boys to get a little more schooling before going into the armed forces. Eileen Caughey Charles Hickok l OY ALECK G.A.A-1,2,3,4 2 Girls League - 1, 2 Cadets .. 3 High ..

In spite of war-time atmosphere our school has managed to keep up the high standard of student activities that has been set for us through the past years. Not only have we met this standard, but in some respects We have surpassed our previous record. This year our school contributed to the war effort in an all-out drive to boost the sale of stamps and war bonds in our community. In the fall the students managed to purchase one land-going jeep, one amphibious jeep,and a flying jeep. In January the student body sponsored a Bond Show in cooperation with the State Theater to help stimulate bond sales. This program, in the form of a Variety Show, result- ed from a Talent Paraden held before the student body earlier in the semester. The Spring Festival, held late in May, was the last major student body activity for the year. The Queen for the Festival Was chosen from a. group of 5 senior girls. Ruth Lewis reigned over the affair with Eilen Butler, Dorothy Nicolai, Mildred Basye, and Lillian Lang as her att.endants. The program numbers were representatives of various student groups and emphasized America and her Allies in dance and song. We students are proud of the record of activity which we have made for this year: We hope that we have lived up to everyone's expectations of American youth, and we know that since We have been given the opportunity to attend schools and achieve records, as this Student Body has through the past year, We will continue to strive to preserve that right and privilege for American posterity.

THE HUGGET STHFF Each year the Executive Committee l meets and chooses a staff to edit the Nugget. The ones selected this year were: Editor Bob Powers Asst. Editor Bob Dudley Sports Bud Brown Photography Joyce Onyett Art Dorothy Nicolai Music Claude Wilson Dramatics Bob Bolles Many problems were encountered this year that did not have to be met by other editorial staffs. Among these were the increased cost and scarcity of many materials. This in- creased cost was partially met by a series of noon dances given by the e- ditor assisted by members of the staff. After overcoming these problems the work of getting pictures taken, choosing a cover, and the usual rou- tine of getting a publication ready for press was handled with little dif- ficulty. The Nugget staff members, under the efficient leadership of the editor, have put a great deal of effort and time into the 1944 edition. They are grateful for the help given by several members of the faculty, especially Mr. Nelson, who was responsible for the printing of the book. They present their book to the stud- ents of the O.U.H.S. in the hope that you like it and will treasure it for many years to come. Lillian Lang UHHIHHTICS Regardless of the fact that most of che members of the Dramatics club this year were taking part in their first plays, under the able leadership of Mr. Mognis they showed consider- able talent. In November a Talent Parade was organized. Charlotte Gambrel won first prize, Del Bartley and his Weiner Blutz Band was second, and Margaret Jones earned third place. Prizes were War Stamps. In April an amusing play, Be Home By Midnightj' directed by Bob Bolles, was put on. It starred Harry Grafe and Ysleta Campbell as Mr. and Mrs. Jones, and Irving Deal Roberta Fouchy, and Dickie Hobbie played their three troublesome child- ren. In the spring a Gay Nineties pro- gram was produced which included two old fashioned Melodramas . They were Faint Heart Ne'er Won Fair Maidenf, featuring Florence Bean, Peggy Allen and Dan Leahy, and The Great Bottleneck Diamond . The cast included Doris Everett, Margorie Ol'Brien, Marilyn Greves, Marjofrie Bonner, Barbara Parsons, and Pati Randolph. Later the Dramatic Club presented Wildcat Willie Gets Brain Fever, to the Student Body. It starred Jack Conner, Joanne Gerson, Lillian Lang, George Meyer, Glendora Thomee, Dorothy Nicolai, Jack Mosely, and Shirley Weidman. Congratulations to the members of the Dramatics Club. Eileen Caughey TIGER Illlllilllll Among the traditional props of Oroville High is the Bi- weekly newspaper. The Tiger Mirror, going ever forward to bring the Student Body adequate coverage of the news. This years paper was sucessfully edited by Eileen Caughey. Under her unwavering hand the presses were kept rolling. Assisting her were Ysleta Campbell as Feature Editor, Voy- le McFarland giving us the latest in the field of sports, and Marilyn Greves as exchange editor. Ably assisting were 10 Journalism students under the leadership of Albert Camp- bell, facultes advisor. It will be noted that students not taking Journalism were allowed to be on the Staff. The cub Edition came out in April and was edited by the Betty Boyle. Featured were thumb nail sketches made by Bill Liptrap, journalism student. Something new was added to O. U. H. S. in the building of the Students Publication Room. This was used by Mirror staff and the Nugget staff only. It has proven to be a por- fitable investment. To be a member of the T. M. Staff is a privilege. Each member is a willing and untiring worker. This year's group was tops in in cooperation and enthusiasm and had a lot of fun in putting out the paper. The Student Body congratulates Mr. Campbell and the Tiger Mirror Staff. By Lillian Lang. HUHUH suclfw i ' The Honor Society, that organization which requires at least three A's and one B, with no C's, got off to a flying start, electing such capable officers as Eileen Caughey, president, Voyle MacFarland, vice president, and Patti Randolph, secretary. During the first semester the student aid project was started under the direction of the vice president. By this plan anyone could come to a member of the society during study hall for assistance in any subject.. New officers elected for the second semester were Dorothy Dickenson, President, Delbert Dudley, Vice President' and Ann Andrews, secretary. An all-school oratorical contest was sponsored bv this organization under the chairmanship of Irving Deal. The topic chosen was t'The Fight for Freedom? Attractive pins, torches with the initials S.S. . were purchased by many of the members, and they became an added incentive for membership. -Bob Bolles k QA i , gf 'i . 'F i??f'v43' . 2 XV' 1 Qi ' Z.

However, pro- gram adjustments permitted some old members to return and several freshmen advanced so rapidly in be- ginning band that they were promot- ed at the beginning of the second se- mester. Consequently during the spring semester there were thirty- eight members. The purpose of the band is to devel- op balanced ensemble playing and to learn the better compositions written for band. The repertoire of this year included the following selections: Overture to Martha, Introduction to Third Act of Lohengrin, Turkish Pat- rol, Queen of the Night, Tremontier, Bridal Roses Overture, March Mili- taire. The band is one of the most im- portant moral builders in school and community. It has played for school rallies, sports events, and special oc- casions. During the year it gave con- certs for the student body, Monday Club, and Annual Flower Show. It also played an important role in the Spring Festival. The first band in the high school was organized in 1924 with eleven members. During the years it has grown in numbers and in individual abilities of its members. Today the school and, community can rightly be proud of this musical organization. The beginning Band was composed of twenty-six members. It was open to any student who was interested in playing an instrument and served as a preparatory organization for the Advanced Band. Mrs. Maybeth B. Johnson was di- rector of both of these organizations. -Claude Wilson H CHPPEHH UHUIH The A Cappella Choir is a group of students who number among the more talented singers of the school. As the name implies, they sing unac- companied. The purpose of this organization are to do advanced voice Work and to learn and sing some of the great music of the world. The following selections and many others were in- cluded in the repertoire of this year: The Spacious Firmament from the Creation, O Gentle Love from Faust, Choral from Die Miestersinger, O Praise the Lord from Athalia, The Lord's Prayer by Marlowe, Tra.nsfor- mation by Cui. In addition to providing music for assemblies and special school events, the choir was called upon frequently to furnish all or parts of programs . - f -- V---f--wfwamaas..-.-t.1 for community organizations. Out- standing of these was a concert of sacred and secular music for the Mon- day Club. It provided music for the services of the world's Day of Prayer. It sang Negro Spirituals and folk songs of the United Nations for the Spring Festival. The choir sponsored a party on March 10 which was considered the outstanding social event of the music department. On this occasion mem- bers of the Glee Club and Band en- joyed with the Choir a potluck sup- per, games, and dancing. The students of this high school can be justly proud of the accomplish- ments of its choir. This organization is under the di- rection of Mrs. Maybeth B. Johnson. -Claude Wilson DHHCE BHHIJ The Dance Band is, this year, en- joying its second appearance in the Annual. But by no means are dance new to O. U. H. S. One of the first sucessful popular musicians from our high school late Jimmy Walsh. Within the last years such names as Kelly, Rhine, Mitchell and Cunha have adorned the band- stands of our fair school. This year's band has been the larg- est in its history. It consisted of 12 pieces and 3 extras. The band - with- in- a- band was a five man affair that played for many small jobs. The boys played for noon dances as Well as evening affairs. They also played for many local clubs, orgnizations, and other schools. The leader, Claude Mud Wilson, is one of George Cunha's proteges from last year. Ted Theo Tanne- hill, who is featured at the piano, is a veteran member of the band, having played with the organization several years. Just in case you aren't acquainted with all the players they are as fol- lows: Trumpets: Gordon Hobo Hobbie fleadj, Del Dusty Dudley, Steve Squirt Atkins.

The purpose of this organization was to train for choir positions and to furnish any students who were interested in vocal music an opportunity to sing. Com- petition for positions in the choir was very keen among members of the Glee Club this year. The members of this organization met two days each week, at which CLUB 'time they received instruction in breath control, tone placement, and fundalmentals of music as they apply to the voice. The Glee Club has not been a well- known organization in this high school, but this year it has sung with the choir in assemblies and at the Spring Festival. This organization was under the di- rection of Mrs. Maybeth B. Johnson. -Claude Wilson BLUCH U first meeting of the Block O Society new officers cted for the first semester.

The Girl's Athletic Association is an organization to create and maintain interest in girls sports. Any girl who wishes to be a member of this organization must earn 125 points during a year in after school activities and must have a passing grade in academic subjects. There were many activities this year. Interclass games in volleyball, basketball, and baseball were the dominating sports that kept the girls in good health and good sportsman- ship. During the volleyball season Joy Aleck was elected manager, Carmen Brizzolara the manager of basketball. Barbara Brewster was manager of baseball and Charlotte Campbell was elected manager of tennis. The annual events on the social calender sponsored by the Girl's Athletic Association were the Girl's Hi J inks, the Tolo dance, and the initiation. The G.A.A. was under the supervision of Miss Moss and with the leadership of the following officers.

A noon dance was given near Christmas to furnish toys for the com- munity's children and small gifts for the soldiers. The girls also sponsored a candy sale to replace some war stamp money which was stolen. Their annual tolo dance was held in February and was deemed a suc- cess. Its theme was Valentine's Day, and dance arrangements were made accordingly. Eileen Caughey was elected pres- ident the Spring semester, Carmen Brizzolara, vice-president, Eilen Butler, secretary, Marjorie Onyett, service chairman. Dr. Edith Bryan spoke to the girls their first meeting this semester on Problems Facing Youth Today. Fol- lowing her address she answered many questions asked by the girls. A Junior Red Cross work-day, held in the cafeteria, substituted for one meeting. Sixty girls under the super- vision of eight upper-classmen work- ed on joke books, puzzle arrange- ments, bed socks, wall hangings and also bound stories. This project was continued another day, with a differ- I Mildred Basye Eileen Caughey ent group of girls working. The large box of finished articles proved the complete success of such a well organ- ized program. A Gold Lake camp ralley was held their last meeting with many girls signing up for the summer camp ses- sions. -Joy Aleck ----- - - BUUS CHIJETS Two Cadet Companies, C and D, were organized for boys in the fall of 1943. They were under the joint lead- ership of Mr. Nisbet and Mr. White, who were assisted by Captains Russell and Tannehill, First Lieuten- ants Hickok and Hobbie, and Second Lieutenants O'Brien and Toland. The Headquarters group were Master Sergeant Hansell, First Ser- geants Powers and O'Bryan, and Sergeant Knarr. The Companies consist of 67 men. Most of these were recruits this year. The job of getting these men into line was eased for the officers by the excellent group of non-commissioned officers. Captain Del Bartley who left for college on March first was replaced by First Lieutenant Tannehill. The loss of this officer was felt through- out the whole corps. The boys cadet uniform this year consisted of dark trousers, while shirts and black ties. The corps was inspected once dur- ing the semester by men from State Headquarters. Reports have come to us from boys in the service that cadet training has helped them. 1 I COMPANY C - I COMPANY D GIRL CHDETS A cadet battalion of one hundred sixty-nine girls started drilling at the beginning of the spring semester. Marching under the command of Major Ruth Lewis the girls were re- viewed for their first time March 23. Uniformed in dark skirts and white blouses the cadets were inspected by Major Lewis and her staff. Every Thursday thereafter was regular in- spection day. Assisting Major Lewis on her staff were Captain Eileen Caughey, adjut- ant, and Staff Sergeant Lillian Lang. Commissioned officers in charge of the three companies were Captains Virginia Gregory, Viola Gould and Ysleta Campbell. Mildred Basye, Dorothy Nicolai and Marilyn Greves were advanced from their last year's rating to that of first lieutenant. Dorothy Dickenson, Bobbie Wilson and Joy Aleck were second lieuten- ants. This girl cadet corps, organized for the first time last year, had a special drill period every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, and were supervised by Mr. Nisbet. In addition to regular drilling the cadets were shown motion pictures sponsored by the U.S. Army. -Joy Aleck CADET OFFICERS COMPQNY A COMPANY B COMPANY C i . , W 2 llcnny O'Brien Jick Alpers BUUS' HI-U The meetings of the Senior group have centered around the bi-Weekly supper gatherings on Thursday evenings. The Clubs have joined in a number of service projects, the most outstanding being the sponsership of the very popular Satur- day night high school dances held at the Monday Club. The Y not only initiated the undertaking and secured the financial backing, but furnished the dance band, the programs, the refreshments, and the general supervision. The project has been exceptional in spirit and conduct and the student body with its excellent attendance and support has supplied the interest needed to make it e success. Claude Wilson was in charge of the dances. 'lhe Junior Hi-Y has been an active Club all year and promises to live up to the high standards of the Y next year. Donald Baldwin and Harold Caughey were the represent- atives at the Area Congress last December. The officers of the Senior Hi Y are Kenny 0'Brien, presidentg Jack Alpers, vice presidentg Gordon Hobbie, treasurerg Irving Deal, secretary. Don Hagen led the Junior Hi Y along with Ralph Dunham, vice presidentg Melvin Ferguson, secretary. -Bob Bolles .J Ny I x' I, X GIRLS-HI-U The Girls Hi-Y, was a very active organization this year. There were two clubs the Senior Hi-Y and the Junior Hi-Y. At the beginning of school each club held election of officers. Senior Hi-Y officers for each semester of 1943-1014.

In the first semester each had a membership drive and 11 a result two initiations were held by the Senior Hi Y. A foint dinner was held in February. The annual Mothers Tec. was held in May. To contribute to the war effort each club worked on joke books, bed bags, and various other Junior Red Cross projects. A great deal of credit goes to Miss Jean Moss and Miss Mary Silver leaders of the two Hi Y groups. -Lillian Lang Ruth Lewis Ysleta Campbell PEP CLUB Competition for yell leader was strong this year as the election was by individual instead of by team as was the practice for several years. The winners, Alta Shettlesworth, HREDH Jayne, and Barbara Brewster were instrumental in getting an ex- ceptionally large sign up for the Pep Club. This group is the center of enthusiasm for rallies and rooting sections and puts on a campaign to stir up school spirit. With Alta Shettlesworth as Rally Chairman, and leader, the group did much to add spirit to football and basketball games and boost the teams to success. The members of the different ath- letic teams appreciate the outstand- ing support of the Pep Club during the different seasons. -Alta Shettlesworth ff QE si N 55 if ea-fam Si? 01. 431: was rrrr , CM C., .J 'a Pff f QW ir Qi 57 HIHHIHES Arline Rhine Mike Aciega Theron Edwards George Lerner Roger Van Duzer Richard Warmack Bill Boyet Gene Casagrande Don Casagrande Clifford Rowe Clifford Sanderson Allon Carter Franklin Lind Norman Roberts Jerry Walker 32 .

B. S. 12 Culminating the season with a 53 to 12 victory over the Christian Brothers, the Groville Tigers showed the boys from Sacramento what they had been showing their opponents all season. They rolled over every opponent this year to win the most impressive champoinship in the history of O.U.H.S., amassing an amazing total of 253 points to their opponents 31. Ted Tannehill was individual high scorer for the year with 15 touch- downs, Bud Brown was second with ll, Jimmy Crabtree third with 7, Simmons and Hickok fourth with 2 apiece, and Richter and McAtee with l apiece. A .' The season opened with the Willows Honkers on the home field. The Honkers fresh from two victories o- ver Red Bluff and Redding, were out for blood, but were quickly subdued 20 to 0 by the mighty Tigers. This was the same score, incidently, by which we beat them the preceding year. To start the scoring Crabtree juanted 40 yards to pay dirt. Rich- ter then took a pass from Brown and lateraled to Simmons who scoredg Brown made the last one. In this game the line excelled in all depart- ments. The next victims to fall before the Tigers were the Spartans of Red Bluff. Although winning 19 to 0 the Tigers played their worst game of the season. The only sensational highlight of the game was when Ted Tannehill skipped 105 yards for a touchdown. Brown and Crabtree al- so scored. Not only playing their worst game, the Tigers also lost Bob Dudley who was probably the best blocking back in the league, luckily his place was ably filed by Sopho- mor Jack McAtee. Bartley and Gurrola showed up well for the line. Getting well into the season the Tigers travelled to Redding to meet the Wolves. They, however, turned out to be no match for the Tigers who won 25 to 0 without the aid of Ted Tannehill. Bud Brown scored twice and Crabtree and Simmons once. Excellent line play was fea- tured by Broadnax, Hickok and Ken O'Brien. The Tigers, taking a rest from lea- gue games, played host to the Yuba City Honkers, who were sadly de- feated 58 to 13. The Oroville boys ran wild with Ted Tannihill scoring three touchdowns and Crabtree and Brown close behind with two apiece. Other Touchdowns were made by McAtee and lineman Hickok, the lat- ter intercepting a pass and going all the way. The complete line from end to end literally mopped up on the Yuba City boys. Heading into the last half of the schedule the Tigers travelled to Chi- co to meet their rivals on the Chico gridiron. The Chico boys were game but didn't have the stuff to stop the mighty Tigers who rolled over them 32 to 0. Bud Brown and Jimmy Crab- tree both scored twice and Tannehill once. This is the second straight year the Panthers have gone down before the Tigers scoreless. In the next to the last game the Tigers sadly defea' ed the Grass Val- ley Miners 46 to 6. Ted Tannehill scored the amazing total of six touch- downs and Hickok for the second time this year intercepted a pass and scored. To end the season the Tigers play- ed the big but ineffective Christian Brothers from Sacramento. Ted Tannehill galloped 105 yards, 80 yards, 50 yards, and 30 yards for four touchdowns. Brown went 40 and 20 yards for two and Crabtree made one. Brown's long pass to Richter, who made a beautiful catch, was responsible for the last one. Del Bartley was elected honorary captain for the year and Ted Tanne- hill was selected as Most Valuable Player. -Bud Brown B FUUTBHLL Haro Coming under the reins of Coach Larry White, who in previous years had assisted Art Bloom, they were molded into a smooth coordinate team. Incidently Mr. White worked without an assistant so really de- serves plenty of credit. The Kittens opened the season by traveling to Marysville to meet the Indians on their home field. The half ended 7 to 6 in our favor. Mc- Atee took a pass from Warmack and 14 Groville Marysville 6 Oroville Orland 12 Oroville Yuba City 7 Oroville Chico 6 Oroville Yuba City 0 Oroville Chico 6 Oroville Grass Valley 0 traveled the remaining 40 yards to pay dirt. The second half tightened up until the fourth quarter when Mc- Atee again received a pass and made the score 14 to 6 to clinch the game. The next week the Kittens played host to Orland for their first home game, but the vistors were sadly turned away 26 to 12. Ferguson started the scoring by intercepting a pass and going over. McAtee was lost after this game for he was moved up to the Varsity to replace Bob Dudley who was injured. McAtee was ably replaced by freshman Harold Goff. Louis Clark was elected team captain for the year and Larry Warmack was chosen by Mr. White as the most valuable player. -Bud Brown VHHSITU BHSHETBHLL Due to lack of experience and hav- ing few adequate substitutes, the Oro- ville High Varsity had a difficult time throughout the season, although win- ning 11 out of 18 games. Under the tutelage of Hugh L. fScoopj Harrison the Tigers in their first game of the season bowed to Grass Valley 27 to 26 in a heartbreaking game. The Tigers playing better than average ball then took Yuba City in a two-game series 36 to 34 and 47 to 39. In the second encounter with Grass Valley the Tigers ran away with the game 33 to 17. In the first of a three-game series they dropped a heartbreaker to Gridley in two over- times. The following two games were easily won by the Tigers. Then came a couple of breathers from Biggs and Portola, the scores being 49 to 15 and 51 to 7 respectively. Hickok Dudley, and Weiner scored freely in these games. Hitting their peak, the Tigers downed their rivals from 'Chico 41 to 15 and 46 to 40. Hickok and Dudley were high men for these games and Bob Powers starred on defense. The Biggs varsity proved no match for the Tigers reserves who downed them 29-13. Don Richter was high point man for the reserves .Jack Holmes, 6 foot, five inch forward, also showed plenty of promise. Jack McAtee, Gordon Hobbie, and Jimmy Crabtree all played well. The Tigers then dropped two hard fought games to Marysville and Red Bluff. The season ended with the tourna- ment in Chico in which Oroville came in second. Bob Dudley, team captain, was selected as the best defensive player in the tournament and was also selected on the All Star team. Oroville got some consolation out of the tournament due to their 28-14 win over Red Bluff. Puzzy Hickok was individual high point man for the year with 238 points Bob Dudley was second with 153 points, and Paul Weiner third with 135. Other regular players were Bob Powers, Ted Tannehill and Curly Fuller. -Bud Brown D. Richter, J. Holmes, J. McAtee, C. Hickok, B. Powers, T. Tannehill, R. Fuller, G. Hobbie, J. Crabtree, B.

Although most of the players had only C and D qualifications they had lots of fight to help along such vet- rans as Lalla, Warmack, Dudley, and Babe Aciega. Larry Warmack was individual high-point man for the year with 153 points, Johnny Lalla was second with 103, and Del Dudley was third with 90. The Tiger Kittens were crushed in their opening game with Grass Valley 43 to 16, but revenge was sweet in the second meeting when the Kittens triumphed 21 to 20. In their next engagement the Kittens downed Yuba City twice 34 to 17 and 32 to 27. They then snatched three games from Gridley Bulldogs 33 to 14, 23 to 19 and 38 to 28. The rest of the sched- ule went as follows: The Kittens won two from Biggs, one from Portola, split one apiece with Marysville, lost two to Chico, and split with Red Bluff. Del Dudley, following the footsteps of brother Bob of the varsity, was elected teamcaptain. Other first string players were Ed Gurrola, and Al Davis. On account of the large turnout, alumnus Dean Price assisted Coach White in organizing the reserves into a C team. The little, but game, C players although winning only one out of six games, will make good material for next year's B team. They will profit much by their experience. The little boys dropped two to Chico 27 to 14 and 46 to 11. In the following game they dropped a heart- breaker to Biggs 14 to 13. The Kittens then bear the Durham B team 23 to 16. The next two games were dropped 27 to 18 and 21 to 20 to Red Bluff. The players were Dean Rippey, Jim Dietle, John Meyers, Jim Porter. and Dick Hobbie. -Bud Brown BHSEBHH The Oroville Tiger baseball team carried out a much more complete baseball schedule than during the previous year. About the middle of the season, coach Brick Mitchell had a severe case of the mumps which kept him at home several weeks. Coach Harrison took over the team during his ab- sence. The Tigers opened the season on the local diamond with Durham whom they ,defeated 16 to 1. Ted Tannehill hit a home run in this game. After this practice game the Oroville boys played host to the Yuba City Honkers whom they also defeat- ed 12-9. Bud Bkrown tagged the Yubla City boys for two home runs. Tak- ing a week's vacation the Tigers brushed up and traveled to Chico only to meet defeat 9 to 7 even with home runs by Tannehill and Brown. In a double header with Marysville the county seat boys dropped the first game with a flurry of errors. Th second game was easily downed b the Tigers. Meeting the Yuba Cit Honkers for the second time, the Ti ers ran rampant by defeating the 10 to 2 in a short seven inning gam The Tigers took a pair of games fro the Redding Wolves who offered ver littlecompetition. After travelin all the way to Red Bluff the Tiger dropped a heartbreaker, 7 to 6, whic lasted 10 innings. As we go to press the Tigers stil have two games to be played on thei home field with Red Bluff and Chic Players on this year's team were catcher, Gene Ludwig, pitchers, Bo Powers and Del Hedgesg first base Dyke Richter, second base, Scu Dunn. Third base and shortstop wer played by those speedy brothers, De and 'Bob Dudley, left field, Puzz Hickokg center field, Ted Tennehill and right field, Bud Brown. -Bud Brow DYKH Du 6 l THHIIH An interclass track meet was held at the first of the season to discover hidden ability from which to build up the A, B, and C track teams. The Tigers placed third in a com- bined meet with Marysville, Yuba City, Roseville, Auburn, and Grass Valley. Ted Tannehill, star cinder man, took his usual three first places in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and the shot put. Holding a three way meet on the local track the Tigers took the com- bined meet, but came in second in the varsity. Chico was first. Entering the Northern League meet at Chico, the Tigers again captured the combined meet, but came in sec- ond to Chico in the varsity. Boys who took a place in this meet were eligible to enter the N.C.H.S.A. L. meet at Chico on May 13. Chico, Orland, Willows, Weed, Lassen and Oroville participated. Weed won the combined meet, Willows second and Oroville third. Oroville was nosed out of second place in the varsity by M point by their old rivals from Chico. Some of the outstanding men on the varsity were: Ted Tannehill,who took 12 consecutive first places in 4 track meets, to goal 60 points. Ed Williams in the high jump,Al Lineker in the 160 yd. low hurdles, and Jim Crabtree in the Sprints. On the B team Larry Warmack, Johnny Lambros, Harold Goff, Ken Borger, and Grant Beard all showed great promise. -Bud Brown BUXIHG Another year of really enthusiastic boxing was carried on at O. U. H, S. On March 31, the 4th Annual Boxinjg Tournament was held. These Champ- ionship bouts climaxed the annual e- limination tournament in which 235 boys took part this year. There were 117 bouts in 14 divisions in the firsi round. In all 227 successful bouts were held. The championions of the divis- ion will be awarded the coveted Block O , and the novice champions will be given a suitable award. It was practically impossible to fight all the final bouts in the tourna- ment but the best bouts and a few special event were held for the plea- sure of the public. The bouts in the tournament were as follows: feather weight Jack Conner defea.ted Richard Wakefield for the feather weight novice division championship. In the senior division of this class Gordan Taylor and Cecil Spencer fought to a four-round draw. Middle weight Paul Weiner defeated Darrell Kister in a special event. Martin Aicega and Bob Cochran had a four round draw in the senior division light weight. Novice division welter weight Elmer Morris defeated Don Lambert in the semi- final bout. Del Dudley was crowned king of the senior division welter weight by conquering Bud Richter. Jerry McAtee took the novice division middle weight title by defeating Norman Newman. In what was pro- bably the best bout of the evening Mx Simmons edged out Bob Dudley for the senior division middle weight crown. Ken Graham outpointed Don Richter in the light heavy weight senior division and Puzzy Hickok de- feated Dean Price in a special event heavy weight. Price substituted for Bob Weaver who was sick. Other novice division champions were: fly weight, Charles Ackleyg bantam weight, Charles Flemingg light weight, Ralph Campbell and Jack Coleman fought to a draw. Welter weight Bob Ax beat Elmer Morris. Light heavy Don Delongy decisioned Darwin Crawford.
