A feeling of nervousness and excitement fills the hearts of the many assembled. A door squeaks open as the court officials march swiftly to their seats. There is a momentary silence as thc plaintiffs, with self assurance and personal pride reflected in their manner, sit down. Soft murmurs and questioning eyes follow the defendants going down the long aisle to their chairs. Twenty-two fair minded jurors take their positions in the box. All is in readiness. A sharp knock of the gavel brings the court. to its feet as a tall stately figure comes proudly in. His countenance holds the complete attention of all. The Super- ior Judge has taken his place. Suddenly a deep voice booms, 'fThe Superior Court of Oro- ville Union High School in the city of Oroville and the state of California on this eighth day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred forty-five is now in session. First, is called the case of the junior, sophomore, and fresh- men classes, plaintiffs, versus the senior class, defendants. The senior class must prove its eligibility to accept the duties and responsibilities its members face as they leave Oroville Union High School and go out into their life careers. The court is immediately hushed and a feeling of tension is re- flected in the many faces. The defendants step meekly to the witness stand. Their oath is given and the evidence is brought forth. As each ex- hibit is presented, there unfolds a complete and perfect pat- tern of their willingness to cooperate in student affairs, their eagerness to share the opportunities offered them by high school life, their ambitious nature, and their abundant know- ledge. The tense expressions change to silent smiles for they know they are worthy of the honors they are about to receive. The trial is slowly drawn to a close. The court is adjourned and the defendants come quickly to their feet. The seniors have Won their case! Again they are triumphant! Their heads are held high. They are filled with pride in themselves and their many accomplishments. Now they are filing out of the court room, ready, willing, and able to face any tribulations which may lie ahead. They have been ably trained. Four years of constant. study, struggles, joys, and memories have equipped them with all the necessary material to face the world and become an essential portion of it-their world! Each one is an indispensable link in the chain of life. They may be separated by lands and seas but their hearts and their interests will be in harmony, their goal will be the top: complete religious freedom, justice for the rich and poor alike, loyalty to their fellowmen, and liberty for all-the American way of life! DEDICATION W'E, THE senior class, humbly and solemnly dedicate the nineteen hundred forty-five Nugget, our final achieve- ment, to the YOUTH of TODAY and the HOPE of TOMORROW. Within these many pages are pictured our classmates and chums with whom we have shared our work and play, our hopes and sorrows throughout our school years. Some of us have come from afar to enter into our activities and ac- ccmplishments, which we accepted appraisingly - joyfully. We are all one now, about to leave Oroville Union High School and take our place in the world. We will become farmers and businessmen. We will be the wives and mothers of America. We will be your milkman, your train engineer, or your corner grocer. We will be found as stenographers, doctors, architects, nurses, lawyers, and taxi drivers. We will be the parents of the HOPE of TOMORROW. We are ready, capably equipped, and eager to advance in- to the future where our great work, requiring each one of us to do our utmost, must begin. We will leave traces of our footsteps throughout the United S.ates and all the world. We will be read about in every news journal printing further details of our numerous pro- jects. We will receive recognition for our partmipation in gigantic events. We will be discussed and admired from town to town, from state to state. May the foundation we lay inspire the youth of tomorrow to greater and more magnificent heights than have been known in the history of the world. May the youth -The HOPE of TOMORROW - forever keep world peace as a humble tribute to our fathers of World War I and our brothers and sweathearts of World War Il, who bravely, willingly, proudly gave their lives-without regret or sorrow-in the hopes that the generations to come might be left free from the tyranny and blood shed they faced. May they create a world filled with brighter hopes, with greater accomplishments, and with everlasting Hliberty and justice for all !

Students enjoying life un the campus Ar O1-oville Hi OUR ALMA MATER 1 PATSY wc-on COUIT PRINCIPAIJS M ESSAGE To The Graduates of June 1945: YOU have now completed four years of High School. As you look back upon your high school career what is it that you have accomplished? Have you been able to make friends who will be a joy to meet in the years to come? Have you acquired some of the social graces that will make you pleasant company? Have you acquired the knowledge that will make you an informed citizen? Have you learned to do one thing well so that you can be a little more economically independent? In other words, have you grown- or have you just swelled a little? We hope that you can answer most of the questions in the affirmative because the purpose of education is to accomplish these ends. We are always sorry to see a class graduate because of our pleasant as- sociations and we feel a loss at your going. But of course we are also happy because you have accomplished your purpose. You are coming into that glorious young manhood or womanhood for which we know you are so well prepared. Therefore, we congratulate you. Please cherish the memories of your stay here. Be the kind of people we are so anxious for you to be. Let us be a part of your joys and successes and feel that we may have in some small way been of help to you. May it be your privilege 'to plant a rose and uproot a thorne along the path of life'. fanzed 0. Widdei' OUR HIGH SCHOOL l MISS FREIDA BEIK DEAN OF GIRLS THE saying, 'fSees all, knows all, tells nothing, might easily apply to our friend, the Dean of Girls, Vice-Principal of Oroville Union High School - - Miss Freida Beik. She has a most gracious way of perform- ing one of the toughest jobs of the school. She is in charge of the ted- ious task of keeping the school re- cords straight. All problems relat- ing to girls and to the women mem- bers of the faculty are quickly and efficiently handled by Miss Beik. She has general supervision over all gir1's activities. Under her guidance the Girls' League and Girls' Athletic Association had a successful school year. In addition, Miss Beik managed cafeteria financies and taught classes in shorthand and bookkeeping. You have been grand, Miss Beik. MR. PAUL STOLLAR DEAN OF BOYS CALM, serene, and efficient-Dean of Boys, Vice-Principal and Fin- ancial advisor - Paul Stollar has never seen ruffled or inadequate in a situation. As Dean of boys he has handled the affairs and difficulties of the young men attending Orovillle Union High School. Those students who have taken Chemistry and Phy- sics were lucky enough to be under his classroom leadership. Mr. Stollar carefully planned our calendar to give as much time as possible to the students .The numer- ous dances held after athletic games were possible because of the cooper- ation of Mr. Stollar. At every Student Body meeting, he was there to assist in the matters of finance. Thanks for your cooperation, Mr. Stollar. ADMINISTRATION DUTIES of the clerk of the Board of Trustees are both varied and interesting. They include calling of the board meetings and keeping the minutes at these meetings, aud- iting bills, and issuing school War- rants and monthly payrolls. Recently the responsibility of reporting the income tax deduction for about fifty employees has been added to the above list. Also the payment by students for loss of books during the school year are made to this office. During the year an account is kept of receipts and expenditures of the district as a basis for compiling the annual school budget. The duties do not end in June. During the summer, contracts for teachers, bus drivers, and private transportation facilities must be prepared. MISS MILDRED MARTIN CLERK OF THE BOARD 1 P ROBABLY there is no depart- ment in high school Whose im- portance is more underestimated than the attendance department. Re- cords are kept according to rules and regulations prescribed by the State Board of Education and provide that one day of attendance be allowed for each 240 minutes of pupil attendance in any type of day or evening class in high schools. Upon the daily aver- age attendance for a given year de- pends the amount of state funds ap- portioned to the particular school district for use during the ensuing school year. Owing to the nature of his work, no other person in the school bears quite the same relation- ship to the students as the attendance officer. His popularity fluctuates like the stock market. It is up today and down tomorrow, ad infinitum. MR. GEORGE GRAHAM ATTENDANCE OFFICER .,. ow Q Q, ,ms . ek lk-W' c Q ' ff' 1 , I. -. ,diff- ' ff-' fd ,ffm ' ' I Uwiivsi aseo '5 THE purpose of the school board of trustees is to represent the people's interest in the manage- ment of the school and the school's activities. It is composed of five members from five districts. The men who are members of the board are: Mr. Todd McGinnis, Mr. Valentine Van Duzer, Mr. George Wanglin, Mr. Walter Bolles, and Mr. Hubert H. Townshend. They act as overseers in tl1e busi- ness management of the school. As part of their duties, they approve new employees, expenditures, and payment of bills. The board holds regular meetings to discuss business on the second Thursday of each month. Because there is so much work for the board a regular secretary, Miss Mildred Martin, who has been with us many years, is employed. Her duties are numerous. She has charge of buying supplies. paying bills, and taking care of operation bills. The responsibility placed on the board is one of great importance. Obviously, capable men are selected, ones who have the people's trust and confidence. The members chosen represent the type of character the school strives to develop. 'Oy gg n 'U5 k w fxifi., ZILPHA JONES Ury HAT the high school graduate may be able to commun- icate his ideas intelligently, to speak and write with con- fidence to meet the demands of a future employment, and to acquire '1 general knowledge of the world's litera- ture we teachers of English hopefully design a four-year program of experiences for him. Our methods, procedures, and materials change sometimes subtly, sometimes drast- xcally but oui ambitions are ever the same: to equip the student with the essential tools of English and to broaden his experience with the spoken and written word. To these t-asks we humbly dedicate ourselves. ENGLISH ENGLISH is supremely important to Americans because it is the foundation of all our communicationg it is the link between us and the rest of the world. Without speech and writing we could not give our ideas to other people. Without the ability to read and to listen we could not know what other people think. Knowledge of the English language helps us to know more accurately what is in our own mindsg it aids us to think more clearly and effectively. It is to develop maximum skill in attaining these important ends that our classes in English are presented. Margaret E. Clemo Edith Kunkel MATHEMATICS BEGINNING algebra, the traditional bugbear of freshman and senior alike, is one of high schools' most valuable and most misunderstood subjects. It has, in reality, two im- portant functions. The first is to place in the hands of the mathematically inclined student all the basic tools he will need. A mastery of the concepts and techniques of this ele- mentary study will lay a solid foundation for any branch of mathematics. But its most important service is its unparal- led training in clear, logical thinking. A mind trained to analyze a given algebraic situation will be able to reason logically under any situation. Lawrence A. White HE subject of mathematics is an integral component of a student's educational foundation Mathematics is a nec- essary prerequisite to study in many fields, for example: physical science, life science, military science, engineering, commerce, astronomy, and aeronautics. The structure: of our modren civilization is based upon the scientific developments ol the last several centuries. Since mathematics is recognized as the language of all science, it follows that the study of mathematics by the student of today will prepare him better, as a citizen of tomorrow, to adapt to the civilization in which e lives. Irene J. Nisbet 'IiHE graphic language of Mechanical Drawing is almost universal. Houses, bridges, airplanes, and Mrs. Rice's rolling pins are a few of a thousand commonplace things that originate with the draftsman's pencil. We, at the high school, study a few of the basic principles and techniques of drawing and their applications. Many of the students take a one year course but a few study the sub- ject throughout four years of high school. The studentls pro- gress is his own chief concern and is obviously marked by the time and effort he applies. Clifford L. Mitchell SCIENCE HE Oroville Union High School has always maintained a full curriculum in the natural science field. Demands of the armed forces for men trained in mathematics and science shows this was a Wise course. It is a graduation re- quirement that every student take a year of laboratory science. Chemistry, physics and adxanced biology are junior and senior subjects. They are given especially for tnose who intend to enter advanced training or work where a basic science training is required. For less technically minded students, machines and electricity, --are given, while soph- omore biology is taken by many students. Paul S. Stollar B IOLOGY class students have been enthusiastic collectors of plant and animal life of Butte County. They have be- gun a. permanent museum project with collections of stuff- ed birds, pressed and mounted Wildflowers, skulls and skele- tons, birds, eggs, Indian implements, and nzitive forest tree cones. With the microprojector they have seen crystal mag- nified 300 to 400 times their actual size. They have seen bacteria and microscopic plants and animals which live in stagnant water. The advanced biology class placed emphasis on working out problems scientifically and experimenting with plants and animals. They have watched tadpoles develop into frogs within a single week. Enid Larsen ENERAL Science classes are conducted with the purpose of giving the students a broad view of many branches of science. Living as we do in a civilization which is greatly affected by scientific devices and discoveries requires our understanding something of the facts and methods which gave use to these devices and discoveries. Some of the things which We study, such as the purification of drinking Water, are of immediate and practical im ortance Otl ers such as the only. which C- p . A , structure of the solar system, are of cultural value All contribute to our understanding of the world in we live. John Enfield is ilu' 0- ii l enriches our experience. words and expressions. graphic arts is largely French. ATIN is the basis of all Romance languages- French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Rumanian. Wherever the Roman power extended, Latin became the language of intercourse, government and law. A glorious literature was produced and took its place beside the other important lang- uages of the ancient world. The works of Caesar, Cicero, Vergil, Ovid, Horace- to mention only a few writers- will never perish. Later when the Normans crossed the English channel they brought with them the Roman language, laws, architecture, engineering, and games. This civilization was then carried to all parts of the world by the English, French, Spanish, and others. PARLEZ-VOUS francais? French has often been called the language of diplomats and of high society. We know it is the language loved and understood by countless cultured people and that our acquaintance with it surely From the time of the conquering of England in the Elev- enth Century, to World Wars I and Il on French terrain, our own language has incorporated an endless list of French Great writers of our hemisphere have generally a work- able knowledge of French. The vocabulary of most fine and Dorothy Henderson Rose Thatcher ATIN America is beckoning us southwa battles are won, many of us hope to heed that call. We of the Spanish department are preparing ourselves for these future contacts by learning as much as possible of the geo- graphy, legend, politics, history, economics, and language of the countries south of our border. It is our belief that in this area lies a great future for many of our youth. We feel that we may better understand the people with whom we will deal by gaining all the knowledge of them we can while we are young. Elizabeth C. Welty . ANGUAGE CCMMERCIAL DEPAR IME T -ef HORTHAND and bookkeeping are oirereu to Juniors seniors. Shorthand students strive to attain a usable writing speed and ability to perform office duties suffic- iently well to enable them to go immediately into office work or to continue as advanced students at college. Bookkeeping is taught to give an understanding of personal and business record-keeping for one's own information and use. However, the training in handling business papers and in interpreting current practices gives a background suitable for beginning bookkeepers, or for more advanced study if a student decides to go into that field of work. Freida M. Beik and advanced typing and general business offered as part of the commercial program. General business is for sophomores. Money, credit, thrift, invest- ments, and business methods are among the subjects studied. Beginning typing students learn correct typing procedures and receive instruction in letter writing, tabulation, and centering. Typing skill is developed to a level useful in bus- iness. Advanced typing students concentrate on developing speed and specialized skills through the use of office problems similiar to those found in office work. Emphasis is placed on business letter writing, tabulation, and legal forms. One hundred eighty-three students are taking typing this year. Agnes May Holland I9 fc.. E . .,,..,,,.,Mm.uap-W l A SOCIAL SCIENCE LL freshmen are required to take citizenship. This course, which could more aptly be entitled social living, is very comprehensive in character and takes in a great variety of subjects. One important object of the course is to acquaint the student just as soon as possible with thc place he is to work in so as to make him feel at home in his new surroundings. Another important purpose is to develop personality and intelligent cooperation. Current events, debating, group discussions, club work, studies of commun- ity life, and vocational studies help to give the student a well-rounded personality. Oscar E. Fylling ISTORY is in the making. lt is an entity man - made. You young people will have the privilege of soon holding the reins that guide the destiny of our country. Only in knowing the background, culture, and tradition of our nation, through a study of U. S. History, can you wield the reins you will find placed in your hands. Mistakes were made in the past. Find out what they were, and make it your duty to see they are not repeated. Then and only then can your role in the tale of time be one of credit to your generation. Barbara Carpenter YOU can't get away from the Greeks, says the author of our world history text. He means that so much of our modern life got its start in ancient Greece, we can never escape the Greek influence. Democracy is one of the things in which the Greeks gave us our first lesons. But democracy in ancient Greece died. It got a new start at Bunker Hill. Whether democracy dies again or not depends less upon military strength than upon an intelligent citi- zenry. In all this you can read for yourself the reason for our study of world history in high school. Albert Campbell INDUSTRIAL ARTS HE purpose of the school print shop is to offer the stud- ents an opportunity to do that which is done in large print shops. Because it takes many years of experience to become a full-fledged printer, the work done at school is just a beginning. Many students will never become printers but the experience gained may be profitable in other ways. The work acquaints them with one of the nation's largest industries, and it makes them more intelli- gent users of printed products. Above all, work done with their own hands should be a great satisfaction to them. Vivien C. Nelson WOODWORKING classes were conducted six periods daily. Classes were: three beginning, two advanced, and one, beginning and advanced combined. the students who enroll presumably want information about this type of shop work and are expected to progress at a rate in keeping with their ability. No attempt is made to force any student to become a finished auto mechanic, Welder, or machinist, but rather the aim is to offer information that will serve as a basic for these trades and also be of value to an automobile owner. The beginning students received instruction in blueprint reading, project planning, and hand tool processes. They also became acquainted with the machines and some of their uses. The advanced students continued the use of hand and machine tools on a more advanced level. Most of the class time was spent on individual projects, however, some group work was done. The group work in- cluded Junior Red Cross projects, cafeteria benches, foot- ball score board, a science demonstration desk, and shop improvements. Harold Tresler HE auto shop is generally quite a busy place with auto re- pairing, welding, and lathe work being done at the same time. As these subjects are not required for graduation, L. E. Brandstatt HE objectives of the clothing classes are to know the necessary sewing equipment and to acquire ability in using and caring for these tools, to acquire a knowledge of suit- able materials, and to develop ability in making garments. An understand- ing is taught of patterns, materials, colors, 'and styles which will be suit- able for the individual girl. Apprec- iation for clean clothing as an aid to health is developed. The advanced clothing classes obtain extended study of suitability and becomingness in dress through more complicated prob- lems such as contrasting present day styles to costumes of former periods, work with wools and rayons of more difficult design and finish, planning of complete outfits, and learning just what the well-dressed girl should wear. Esther Wallace HOME ECONOMICS 8.1261 F IRST-year foods is offered to any girl who wishes to enroll. The course provides opportunities for the students to plan and to serve everyday foods for good healthful living. Second year foods is offered to all girls who have completed the first year. lt continues with the planning and serving of meals for the family. It also takes up the serving of foods to large groups and for special occasions. Homemaking is for senior girls only. The purpose of this course is to bring to their attention some of the problems encountered in every- day family life, with discussion as to how they may be handled.

A UCH beautiful work has been done by the students of the art department this year. Those who are clever and capable in the creative arts have certainly enjoyed their problems and the results of their efforts. Others have been pleasant- ly surprised in the discovery of latent ability, through the development of patience and technique. Lettering, design, spacing, stencil- ing, water colors, pastels, pen and ink, black and white, posters, life drawing, and compositions, still life and perspective have been enjoyed. The advanced art class did lovely work in stenciling and many pieces were sold. Much interest has been shown in the costume design class and many hope to be able to include it in their program for next year. Mary Shepard Jones Ddevoted itself t the band music and marching technique. When the marches become standard in the repertoire, concert work received the greatest attention. The string class studied the history of music through the medium of stringed instruments. The politico - social structure of each period of history was briefly investigated. Where possible, the class attempted to discover the musical characteristics through the study of the actual music itself. The class also devoted itself to the achievement of a concert level of performance on a few major compositions. The chorus studied music representative of all periods and styles, from Bach to Fred Waring. URING foot Margaret Cartwright HYSICAL education has become a very important as a result of the War A physically fit individual has a Well- proportioned well - developed body, Without surplus fat He performs his activites with a high degree of motor proficiency This supple, well - balanced body he uses in a skillful well coordinated manner, with a minimum of energy He usually has an alert mind. He has confidence, courage initiative pride and self - discipline. His abundant energy allows him to push himself to the limits of his endur- ance in sustained activities. The programts success is proved by letters received from boys in military service. PHYSICAL EDUCATIGN EALTH and physical fitness are the top objectives of the Hphysical education program. There are also other less tangible aims. Through team sports can be learned valu- able lessons in cooperation, good sportsmanship, self-confi- dence and leadership. Individual activities, such as tennis and dance, help prepare for leisure hours after graduation. More crowded this year than we have been for some time, the girls' physical education plant has been in full time use. This was made possible when Mrs. Thatcher stepped in to take the sixth period class. She has been ably assisted by Virginia Gregory, Judy Hyatt, and Bobby Wilson.

Meyer Bobbie Wilson SECRETARY Virginia Woolery Bill Swinney EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Pat Nystuen SPRING I N THE fall of nineteen hundred forty - onc, 127 students, young, but eager to learn, timid, but yearning for experience, fearful but willing and capable, entered and became an essential part of Oroville Union High School. They accepted the school with all its greatness and grandeur and the school, without hesitation, accepted them. They were quick to observe and take advantage of the countless opportunities offered them as students of Oroville Union High School. Each year as they advanced another step toward the zenith of their scholastic careers, they carried with them added knowledge and invalu- able experience. Each step of their steady climb is marked with accom- plishment. As freshmen they were the first to heed the War cry for Gov- ernment investments and presented a program to earn a S75 War Bond. Their sophomore year is remembered by their very entertaining class program which entitled them to second place in the class program contest. As juniors, and in the midst of the greatest war ever on earth, they again presented a program, this time, at the State Theatre, with the War Bond buying people of Oroville as their appreciative audience. Now, as seniors, they began a new tradition - senior dinners. But their longest remembered accomplishments are the friendships they have made, the distin ' h d ' guis e leaders they have been, their truly American qualities as typical well-educated well-mannered America b Q , - n oys and girls. But their greatest, and most proudly given gift, is one-fourth of their class to the service of our country.

Ably assisting him were Jim Dietle as secretary and Bob Sterns as vice-president. In the executive committee, Jack Conner acted for the Juniors. The class was represented in the Student Body by Babe Aicega as Block O Custodian and Dean Rippey as Athletic Manager. The Juniors were very active in the school events of 1944-1945. A Saturday Nite dance was sponsored by them in the fall term. On Feb- ruary 23, the annual Junior Prom was held. YVith the theme of filungle J ive and a resolution to be different, the decoration committee, under the supervision of Jack McAtee and Carol Nystuen as co-chairmen, planned some nice decorations. Six colorful panels decorated the walls and 21 that- ched hut of palm leaves was built in the center of the floor. Brown, green, and yellow streamers hung from the balcony to the hut. The programs, under the direction of Stanley Painter and Margaret Jones, were unique and colorful cardboard picture heads of natives. Music was furnished by the All Stars and soda pop was sold throughout the evening. The biggest dance of the year, the Senior Farewell, was under the capable hand of Del Dudley and his assistants. , Atrthe beginning of the spring semester, Wayne Roberts took over the president's seat. Del Dudley was chosen vice-president, Carol Nystuen and Dean Rippey tied for the secretary's position, and Jack Holmes was elected as the executive committee representitive. The Juniors were very active in all organizations. They had the greatest number on the Honor Society, the Junior girls had the largest turnout in G.A.A, and, all boy's sports were well-represented by the Junior boys. Also, three Junior girls won the Oroville Rotary Club essay contest. The Junior class program was in the form of a variety show. A barber- shop quartet, boy's chorus line, the Trumpet Trio, and a play entitled 'The Triangle, were the main features. The class shows promise of being very active Seniors in the next year and they are looking forward to it eagerly. . ZNDUSSTRQAI...

Practically the first ff d. a an sponsored and irected by the class was the Sophomore Hop . This was a gala affair all done up in Christmas ribbons. Decorated in the theme of one large Christmas package, it was very jolly and entertaining event to which almost everyone in Croville Union High School came and enjoyed im- mensely. T The sophomores h l ave aso participated in the starting of the Youth Center, which is getting under way ver ' i' 1 A y nicely s everyone can see, they have also painted their class bench in their corner of the school patio. A committee was selected to do the painting, and a number of boys and girls voluntarily rearranged the flowers in the flower boxes. With the other nicely new painted class benches, this adds to the patio's appearance. They have formed their own Sophomore Hi 'Y' which everyone enjoys. A 'Sock Dance' was sponsored by this organization, which has been active in many affairs. Picnics, hikes, dances, and parties are only a few of the many happy gatherings enjoyed by the Hi 'Yi group throughout the year. This organization has been helpful to its members in many ways. Like every other class in the school, the sophomore class has done its share in buying War Bonds and Stamps. Various sport teams of the High school included a great number of sophomores. When it came the sophomore's turn to present a program for the student body, entertainment of the vaudeville style was very cleverly given and greatly enjoyed. Like the rest of the classes, the sophomore class had undertaken many responsibilities and carried out wisely and well. Hats off to the sophomore cl ass for everything that they have done in the past year. SNDUSTRIAL. ART AGRQC-ULTURE 1938 4 '11 gf U1 THE CLASS OF 1947 !NUUSS'?hRiAi,..

Also men's clothing, worn b k d d ' ' ' ' ' ac war s, an men s shoes were a part of their 1n1t1atory costume. No makeup or jewelry was allowed and a doll or animal had to be carried all day. The boys were not left out. They were forced to wear their clothes inside out, shoes worn with no stockings or laces, and a ribbon in their hair. Between the two, there were races and st t ll cl un s a ay. On September 30th, the Freshmen Reception was given The auditorium 'l was ga1 y decorated in pink and blue with stuffed animals along the stage and around the walk. In the center was a play pen with all sorts of toys inside. Welcome Freshmen was strung over the stage with three- cornered pants. The freshmen were recognized by little baby faces they were given to wear. About two hundred frosh attended. As the year progressed, the freshmen decided some little changes would improve the looks of the school. The lunch trays were painted, benches were put in the lunch room, the auditorium was painted, and the freshmen bench and flower box was given a coat of white paint.

It is composed of representatives from each of the four classes, the Block O, and the G.A.A., the president, the vice-president, and the secretary-treasurer of the student body. These nine students hold the power to appoint the yell leaders, the Nugget editor, and committees for school functions. This year this group selected both a Nugget cditor and juniorleditor to lessen the strain in making the book next year. The student body president is the presiding officer of the council, and he sees that meetings are held whenever necessary. The other student body officers, Athletic Manager, Block O Custodian. and the Historian may attend the meetings but have no vote.

Dean Riippey HE Oroville Union High School Associated Student Body has again Tcompleted another year which will be remembered in the future with justifiable pride by the pupils now attending our alma mater. Our treasury in 1940 had dwindled so much that we were in debt. Now, in 1945 we are two or three thousand dollars ahead. Our treasury pays the bills for social affairs of the various clubs and societies and in return all procedes go into our treasury. The student body treasury also sponsors the different athletic contests: football, basketball, track, tennis, and the annual boxing tournament put on by the boys in P.E. department. During the year over S650 in the form of bonds was presented to the stu- dent body by the social science classes. The student body also sponsored a bond contest during which over ten thousand dollars worth of bonds were sold, and the annual May Festival, one of the outstanding social events of the year. At the beginning of the year we purchased a much needed Juke Box which has provided music for noon dances and also for the girls physical education classes. All in all this year's student body officers have tried to make this a year which will go down in the annuals of O.U.H.S. history. They are proud of their student body and its activities, they are proud of their school and what is stands for in these United States. Though these war conscious stu- dents have had their fun and joy in high school, they relize that their student body is, and always will be, the safeguard of democracy.

They worked over three weeks making it. staying up to wee hours in the morning. Staff positions and then the theme and cover were decided upon . Slowly stories began trickling in. They were typed and sent to the print shop to await the final assembly. Or- ganization pictures were taken next and sent to thc engra- vers. Snapshots were collected and the division pages were selected. ' Spring found the work tempo increased and everyone fran- tically running to and fro getting in his last minute copy.

It was under the direction of Miss Margaret E. Cartwright. The purpose of the school chorus is to develop the technique of choral singing and to increase the student' familiarity with musical history and literature. The development of ear and sight ability so that chorus work would be more a matter of interpretation rather than fundamentals has been the aim of the choir group this year. The course was started by teaching the students how to read music. When they were fairly skilled at this they went on into tone development. This in turn opened a larger and more varied field of music to them. Before the year was out they had sung songs written from the sixteen- th to the twentieth century - both serious and light. During the year an eXtra-curric- ular subject was started. It was Miss Cartwright's own i'Belles de Chaus- one . This group was composed en- tirely of girls. It met twice a week at which time they elected officers and sang songs anywhere from light opera. to musical comedy. Those el- ected to preside over the group were president, Joyce Onyettg secretary, Daphyne Andersong librarian, Juan- ita Smith. This year's chorus gave perfor- mances many times this year. Just before Christmas vacation they car- oled the student body with several familiar Christmas hymns. They also sang for a Thanksgiving program at school. The Choir was a favorite en- tertainer of the many clubs iv. town. The May Festival provided another public appearance for the songsters. Their last performance was at the Baccalaureate service. STRICTLY INSTRUMENTAL swpwsrwfsi... ae? A.GRICUL.TUQEg E938 Q THE baton of the Oroville Union High School Band was wielded this year by a new teacher, Miss Margaret Cartwright. The moulding of the turnout into harmonious group was her main problem and she met it and made it into one of the best bands we've had in years. This term's band numbered 39 act- ive players. We had 1 flutist, 3 trom- bonists, 1 french hornist, 9 trumpets, 12 clarinetists, 4 drummers, 5 sax- ophonists, and 2 basses, 1 oboist, 3 baritone hornists, and 1 bassoonist. Keeping the spirit of the school at a high pitch the band played for many student assemblies and programs. It entertained the Rotary Club at one of its luncheons. It played for other Civic groups in the community. The athletic contests, mainly the football games, was the place to find the band if its alma mater was play- fl R S R' W 5, E mmf scrum ing. Rain or shine they played. The Oroville band was commended by the townspeople at the Chico- Oroville game when they marched in drill formation and formed a giant 'C' and a block 'O' among many other intricate drills. The purpose of the band is to develop understanding of ensemble playing, and to widen acquaintance with the fine music written or tran- scribed for bands, whether of a military concert nature. A wide var- iety of compositions was studied and played by the band. The special attraction of high-step- ping rnajorettes added much spirit and gaiety to the band performances. Eddie Gurrola was major, with Aurora Gutierrez, Antonia Brumen, Charlotte Campbell, Viola Norton, Bobbie Wilson and Judy Hyatt made up the majorettes. STYLED T0 LEAD W4 ann!

The purpose of the society is to promote a closer relationship between scholarship and athletics in our school. Before one can join this society, he must earn his block by playing in three-fourths of all games played in football, basketball, and baseball, or by winning at least one point in the N.C.H.S.A,L. track meet. It is the oldest organization in the school, being organized in 1922 by members of the athletic teams and the coaches. At present it has approx- imately 60 members. Mr. Harrison is the adviser of the society. Under the efficient leadership of Del Hedges, the annual Block O dance was held on March 16th. Wayne Rhoades and his committee decor- ated it to carry out the Easter theme. Music was provided by the Royal Tigers. It was a huge success and showed that the society was still an active one. ' The greatest achievement of the society was the erection of the concrete O on Table Mountain in 1929. It has remained a symbol of all that the word sportsmanship implies to the Block O men.

Although no out - of - town games were played, much enthusiasm was shown in the competitive team games. A and B League tournaments allowed a larger number of girls to participate. The Girls' Athletic Association is under the supervision of Miss Jean Moss, physical education instructor. At the beginning of the second semester, girls' who had earned 125 points were initated into the G. A. A. by a vigorous work - out and the wearing of ridiculous costumes. During the last semester, the annual Tolo Dance was held in grand style. Everyone who came enjoyed the unique decoration scheme and atmos- phere of the dance. Sports Managers were as follows: Point Manager, Virginia Gregory, Volleyball Manager, Lois Marler, Basketball Manager, Mona Mardersg Tennis Manager, Annette Bolduc, Baseball Manager, Dorothy Harrison. Under the leadership of our excellent officers and supervisor, the Girls' Athletic Association enjoyed a very prosperous year. 55 WE SALUTE YOU . . .L X 4 Q i 3, Captain Gerald Inman, Captain Jack Alpers, lst Lieutenant Jack McAtee. lst Lieutenant Larry Warmack, 2nd Lieutenant Harry Grafe, 2nd Lieu- tenant Don Delongy I NDICATIVE of the mood of a nation at war, the Boys Cadets were again organized to give the future armed-forces trainees some preiziduction instruction. Principal J. C. Nisbet was the boys capable adviser. Jack Alpers and Jerry Inman were chosen to act as captains for the group. Larry Warmack and Jack McAtee were their very able assistants as first lieutenants. Don DeLongy and Harry Grafe ranked as second Lieutcnants. 2nd Lieutenant Woolery, Captain Boyle, lst Lieutenant Everett, Major Gregory, Captain Adjutant Dickenson, lst Lieutenant Hyatt, Captain Wilson, 2nd Lieutenant Smith. OMMISSIONED officers of the Girl Cadet Corps have a tremendous responsibility. They must be outstanding leaders with self-relience, and initiative. They must have a spirit of cooperation and the ability to take orders as well as to give them. All these qualities were taken into consideration when the Girls' Cadet officers were appointed. Commanding officer is Major Virginia Gregory. She is ably assisted by Captain Adjutant Dorothy Dickenson, Captains Bobbie Wilson and Betty Boyle, First Lieutenants Judy Hyatt and Doris Everett, and second Lieutenants Juanita Smith and Virginia Woolery. IN THE RANKS ERMANY and the European phase of the War in all probability will come to an end before this school year closes, but that does not mean the end of the war. No, there is still a long hard struggle ahead of us and still more Women are needed in the service of our country to release valuable men for active service. Women in the Army, Navy, and Marines, are playing an important role in this tragic drama of War, so for those who wish to serve their country and to give others a better understanding of the women in the service, it was deemed advisable that we again have a Girl's Cadet Corps at OUHS. Squads were first organized in the Physical education classes. Those especially interested were called out upon the iield, when the weather permitted, and organized into platoons and companies. CQMPANY B COMPANY C Officers were appointed and the drill time and other important matters settled. The girls in their blue and white uniforms are inspected every Thursday by Major Gregory and staff. Dernerits are given to those who are not prop- erly uniformed. Drill days are Tuesday and Thursday and the girls are really put through their paces. Familiar commands are, 'tAttention, about face, for-Ward MARCH! If a girl skips drill without a logical excuse she is A. W. O. L. and is given de- merits according to the number of days she did not answer roll call. The girls' Cadet Corps is a student body activity under the supervision of Principal James C. Nisbet.

Many of the girls did just that and a large crowd attended this gala affair. The auditorium was decorated in the 'Winter Wonderland' theme. Red Cross projects of joke books and gift boxes filled with useful items for needy students in War torn countries were accomplished in the Red Cross work - shop. This work shop was held under the directorship of Miss Beik, and a few of the older girls. At the beginning of the year, a Red Cross membership cam- Junior paign was held. Each class averaged f 5570 was 100 percent and a total o , collected. During the monthly meet- ings, a good for the school campa- ign was carried out. Girls aired their 'pet peeves, and as a result, some in- teresting discussions developed. This was beneficial, giving the girls a chance to lmow how the other girls felt about school situations. In the fall semester, a very excl- usive fashion show was presented by Miss Wallace's sewing classes.

NE of the few schools that can claim a dance band as its own is your Oroville Union High School. This band, namely the Royal Tigers, has contributed greatly to the func- tions of your school. Practicing on its own time, the band has become popular with the youth of the sur- rounding cities. In short, the band 1S a really 'reet' organization and its members are as hep as they come. Del Dudley. leader of these jive- sters, blows a mean trumpet and at the same time wields a wicked baton. Pug McAtee on the tenor blows a rugged horn and ad libes are strictly in the groove. First sax, Tramp' Hobbie plays a sweet lead, while 'Crook' Conner follows him and 56 brightenes up the outfit with an occasional takeoff on his licorice stick. Handsome Hibler blows it sweet on forth tenor while he eyes the dan- cers attentively. The brass section is a vigorous bunch of hornmen too. Vibe Roberts and Ad Lib Unfried blend in nicely to make a well rounded trumpet section. Trombonist Deink', Hill puts out some hot stuff that really is out of this world. The rhythm is right in there too. Pati Randolph pounds out the ivories with vitality and with the air of one in the know. Sticks Deal recognized by fellow students as proficient in the art of drumming keeps the band on the beat regardless of tempo. THE WORLD OF SPORTS Coach L2ll'l'yH 'White Loach Brick Mitchell 1 iifgx vm Loach Scoop liarrlson OUR EFFORTS ARE REWARDED PIGSKIN HERO ES VERYTHING considered, it was a good season - When Coach Hugh EHarrison cast his first glimpse at the 1944 varsity, his eyes, fell upon just three faces from his '43 starting lineup. These boys were Dyke Richter, Jack McAtee and Chuck O'Bryan, and before the season was over, McAtee was to be benched with a knee injury. The 44 others who showed up for the initial workouts were an ambitious bunch, however, and Harrison didn't have too much trouble rounding out a team which managed to come through a grueling season with five victories, two defeats, and one tie. The Tigers took the season from the Willows Honkers, 13-O. The first 'liger score came in the third quarter with Larry Warmack taking the ball from Jack McAtee deep in Honker territory. Al Lineker scored the sec- ond Oroville tally, taking the ball over from the Willows 1. The next week-end found the Tigers pitted against the Woodland Wolves. The locals came out of this fray with a 6-6 tie. The Wolves scored early and held the Tigers for the first half, but came back stronger and wiser in the second half. The only Tiger score came early in the third period, with Del Hedges pitching to Gene Ludwig. Warmack passed to Louie Clark for the try for extra point, but Louie was stopped inches short of pay dirt. The following week found the Tigers coming from behind to beat the Red Bluff Spartans, 13-6. Warmack passed to Dyke Richter for one score and Lineker carried the ball over for the other. On Oct. 28, the locals dropped their first contest of the year to the Redding Wolves by the score of 18-12. The Tigers led 12-O at half time, but were unable to stave off the Redding atlack in the final half. The Tigers went on to defeat the Yuba City Honkers in the mud, by a 6-0 score. The lone score came when Warmack packed the ball over in the third period. Chico took the game this year by a 12-7 count, but it was a hard fought battle all the way. The Panthers were just too big and fast for the locals. Warmack passed to Ludwig for the Tiger tally. The Tigers finished the season by beating Grass Valley 19-0, and Marys- ville 12-0 on successive week-ends. Dyke Richter was elected Captain for the year, and Bob Ganske, guard, was chosen most valuable player for his stalwart line play during the year. ffm., Xx , ,arfwwfo ,, ,V mx Q gsm.

For the second time in two years the Kittens have come through undefeated. Although the going was plenty tough this year, especially when they tangled with two varsities, they managed to come out unscathed. Twice the Bees met the Chico junior varsity and twice the Bees beat the Chico junior varsity. ln the first contest the Kittens had to come from behind to score a 12-6 win over the Panther Beemen. The second game of the season found the JVs pitted against thc Gridley varsity, but the stiffer competition gave them little trouble as they trimmed the Bulldogs 6-0. The Kittens scored quickly when Don Lambert took the ball over in the early minutes of the contest, and then held their lead for the rest of the evening. The following week saw the locals downing the Nevada City varsity 13-7. Again the Kittens scored early when Lambert dashed 22 yards shortly after the kickoff. Bill Dowty bucked the line for the extra, point. Dowty scored six points for the Kittens in the third period to put the finishing touches on a perfect evening. General Mud ruled the gridiron the night the Bees wallowed their way to a 12-0 victory over the Yuba City Bees. In their second meeting with the Chico Bees, the local gridders had a harder time winning, but finally came out on top 14-12. Lambert and Dowty again handled the scoring for the locals and Oh! how those conversions counted. The next to last game of the year was the Grass Valley Junior varsity, which also fell before the powerful Kitten attack. The locals had little or no trouble in winning to the tune of 26-0 over the Miner Bees. The finale of the '44 grid season found the Kittens facing the Mary- sville junior varsity, but again the local Beemen were not to be denied and came through to trounce the Indian Bees 19-0, a perfect ending to a perfect year. Bill Dowty was elected Captain by the squad, and Wilbur Lewis, center, was chosen as the most valuable player because of his wonderful offen- sive work. Both Coach Larry White and the players themselves are to be congratulated on turning out this tteam of teamsl. .E A., nf 5' 'w WY v 1 iw am' we--...M if PERFORMANCE IS WHAT COUNTS KING S1ZE . . ON THE THE OUHS Tigers came through their '44-'45 basketball season winning 12 games and losing 3. Coach Harrison's cagers also emerged as Big Four Champions with 4 wins and 2 losses during the league play. Three tall boys, Jack Holmes C6'4 J, Dyke Richter f6'1 J and Del Dudley C6'J, were used as key men in the Tiger offense and defense and this height supremacy saved the day in a number of contests. Eddie Gurrola, Larry Warmack, and Al Davis rounded out the Oroville squad. ' The locals opened their practice schedule by smothering Gridley 41-13, and then in successive games, beat Yuba City 49-26, swamped Grass Valley 31-26, and trimmed Marysville 27-24.. The Tigers first loss came at the hands of the Susanville quintet which overcame the home-towners 31-20. In the tournament that followed, the Orovillians conquered Westwood 28-12 and set down the Susanville lads 21-12 to come out on top in the tourney. The locals next eked out a 26-24 victory over Marysville and then went on to trounce Orland 37-21. With 4 victories and 2 defeats the Tigers copped the Big Four Basket- ball Championship. Holmes contribution of 17 points helped the Oroville squad overcome Chico 38-26 in the opener. Gurrola led his teammates with 8 points, but this Wasn't enough to overcome the Red Bluff outfit which emerged on top 26-24. A slim 23-22 win over Redding was next for the Tigersg Richter was high point man in this one with 11. Revenge was sweet when the locals outdistanced Red Bluff 49-35 to open the second round. Gurrola was again top scorer with 12. A decisive 30-15 triumph over Redding was the next step for the Oroville boys in a contest that saw Holmes scoring 15 markers. Chico took the Tigers in the finale in a contest which went into an overtime period. The score was 41 - 37. The locals took third place in the annual Chico tournament. Larry Warmack and Jack Holmes placed on the All Tournament teams and were also chosen on the Big Four-All Conference team. Individual scorings for the season were as follows: Holmes 162, Gurrola 90,Warmack 72, Dudley 62, Richter 53, Davis 33. IJARDWGOD BOX SCORE Oroville Chico Oroville Red Bluff Oroville Redding Oroville Red Bluff Oroville Redding Oroville Chico STREAMLINED HE '44 - '45 junior varsity basketball squad came through a 15 game schedule with 10 victories and 5 defeats and a Championship to boot. The Bs won 6 and lost 3 of their practice games and then came out on top of the B division of the Big Four league with 4 wins and 2 losses. Coach Larry White was greeted with 60 enthusiastic potential basketball players at the initial practice. After 40 of these boys had been eliminated, the work of selecting a first team began. Only three fellows remained from the '43-44' junior varsity squad, Babe Aicega, Johnny Lambros and Lefty Stafford. Gene Roberts, a transfer from Lincoln High, and Dick Hobbie, up from the C team, rounded out the starting outfit. The Kittens opened their practice season by thumping the Gridley juniors 52-11, and then went on to score a decisive 29-15 victory over the Yuba City Bs. The locals first defeat came at the hands of thc Grass Valley quintet which emerged victorious, 32-10. The Oroville boys came back the next week to trim Marysville 36-14, and were then toppled by Susanville 33-19. In the Susanville tournament which followed, they won from Westwood 14-6 and again lost to Susanville 11-10 to finish in second place. The J.V.s swamped Marysville, this time 32-15, and wen: on to triumph over Orland 28-4. During the league season the Kittens won two contests from Redding and split with Red Bluff and Chico. 12 points by Babe Aicega helped to enable the locals to win the opener from the Chico quint 29-24. Red Bluff beat the J .V.s 21-17 but the Oroville lads came back the next week to topple Redding 28-16. The Kittens eked out a 20-19 win over Red Bluff to open the second round. They again beat Redding, this time 22-13, and went on to lose the finale to Chico 26-24. 4 wins and 2 losses were what the locals had ,and that was good enough to win the Championship. Johnny Lambros was leading with 97 points. Babe Aicega was right behind him with 94. Gene Roberts totaled 74, Lefty Stafford had 52, and Dick Hobbie contributed 38.

Some 187 boys took part in the preliminaries which led up to the finals. Two innovations were in- troduced this seasong one was that of making ten divisions instead of the usual eight, and the other was the boxing non- compulsory. The potential 'champs' again received their instruction from Coach Harrison who in- sisted that he was only teaching the fellows how to defend themselves. I'm not training them to be professionals nor am I encouraging them to go out looking for fights, but the manly art of self defense is something every boy should learn, and that's what I'm teaching them. The finals saw some 22 boys going forth in 11 matches which kept over 800 spectators entertained all evening. Each and every bout was packed with action and it would be extre- mely difficult to pick any one contest as the best of the card. The results of the finals were: fNote:- Each fight consisted of four, two minute roundsD LeRoy Smith fSophomore, 220 poundsb won over Al Luzovich fSenior, 196 poundsj.

Warmack ROVILLE Hi's varsity baseball team enjoyed a much more complete 0 schedule with a full season by all the Big Four League teams. The team included many veterans from last year's squad. A majority of the boys are juniors and sophomores. This promises another good team next year. The first game of the season was played on the local diamond with the Gridley Bulldogs. The Bulldogs didn't have the Tigers and with the steady hurling of Del Hedges, veteran southpaw, against them they were sent home on the short end of a 7 to 3 score. Next on the lot were the Marysville Indians who jouneyed to Oroville for a non-league game with the Tiger nine. Hedges allowed the Indians only three hits and downed them 5 to 4. The first league game of the season came on April 20 when Oroville's traditional rivals, the Chico Panthers, came over to tangle with the Tigers. As usual the Chico boys put up a stiff fight. However the Tigers came out on top, after a long hard 11 inning game with a 5 to 4 score in their favor. Meeting the Marysville Indians again in another non-league contest, the Tigers suffered their first setback of the season, losing 6 to 5. As the Nugget goes to press there are still five league games to go: Redding at Oroville, April 28, Red Bluff at Red Bluff, May 5g Redding at Redding, May 12, Red Bluff at Oroville, May 19, and Chico at Chico, May 26 . .f2- -I -' W Lewis B.

Odneal A BIG turnout greeted Coach Nelson as he took charge of the first junior varsity in two year. There has been no B baseball, until this season, since Coach Art Bloom left for the service in 1943. Al- though no Block O's are to be issued to this year's players, the big turn- out indicated the enthusiasm for baseball. Junior varsity players feel they gain valuable experience in their games which helps them out greatly when they move up to the varsity. Orovi1le's B's are members of a league including B teams from Oroville, Chico, Durham, Redding, Anderson, and Los Molinos. A trip to Durham started out the season for the Kittens. Most of the Oroville boys were inexperienced, this being their first seasrn out for baseball. Durham had a team of veterans and the results were none too pleasing for the Kittens. The Durham boys pounded their way to Z1 20 to2 victory. The fact that the Kittens made 10 errors accounts for their defeat. Chico Panthers made their appearance in Oroville for the Kitten's sec- ond game. They also had an experienced team and handed the Kittens their second defeat of the season. The game ended with the Panthers on the long end of a 21 to 3 score. The Kittens again made a flurry of errors which aided the Chico boys. The Kittens played host to Anderson on the local diamond in the next game of the season. The Anderson boys dropped a 2 tol contest to the J.V.Is, ending Oroville's losing streak. At press time the Kittens still have three games scheduled. Durham will come to Oroville for a return game on May lst. Los Molinos will journey down to meet the Kittens on the local field May 4th, May 11th marks the iilatte fotr the trip to Redding when the Kittens will meet the Wolves in a ci y. it F 151 tqfvyffw X M, svfffl' 81 SMOOTH . AT After a two year absence on the Oroville High sports calender, tennis was resumed in 1945. Under the direction of Mr. Enfield, some 30 boys vied for top positions on the tennis ladder. The Tigers played four matches during the season and came out with a 500 average. They lost their first match to Grass Valley, five games to three. The next meet with Maryville was a different matter however, with the locals taking six games to the Indians three. In a return match with Grass Valley, the Tigers were again unsuccessful, losing to the Miners six games to three. The final contest of the year saw the Oroville netster cleaning up on the Westwood team by the lopsided score of ten games to five. At the close of the season Enfield stated We tried our best to get a league started this year, but the other schools seemed to be against one. Next year we are going to start early and try to convince other coaches that a league is beneficial. 1946 should see league play resumed . Don DeLongy, George Chaffin, Ronald McElry, Stev Atkin, Gerry Braun, Don Brown, Jack Alpers, Wayne Rhoades, Jack Holmes, Lewis Clark, Mal Baker, Bill Swinney, Harrison Woods, and J im Porter all took part in Tiger matches. AGOOD track and plenty of meets made 1945 a successful year for the - Tiger track team. Several lettermen returned from last year's team, but the services of Tannehill and other members of last year's squad were missed by Oroville. The team was coached by Larry White and Hugh Harrison. This includ- ed classes A, B, and C. Five practice meets were held to get the boys in shape for the League meets. Yuba City was first, coming to Oroville on April 7th to meet the Tiger cindermen. The Honkers failed to get a first place in both class B and class C. Yuba City brought no class A team. A four-way meet April 14th provided plenty of competition for the Tigers and gave them a chance to try the power of their team. Redding, Willows, Oroville, and Yuba City were the participants in this meet with Oroville taking the honors. After the Biggs meet, which resulted in a easy Oroville victory, the Marysville Indians met the Tigers in the first really tough meet of the season. Marysville took the meet with a 1042 points to Orovi1le's 102 je points. The League meet was held on our own home ground this term.

Clever names were given to some of the teams. 'Gamma Alpha Alpha' was the senior team, with Bobbie Wilson as captain. 'The Rompers' headed by Carol Nystuen was one junior team, while tThe Jiving Juniors' with Pat Roan as captain was the other. tSupersnipes' led by captain Jean O'Kelly was the victorious soph- omore team. Alison McElory lead the Valiant Volleying Victorians . The freshmen were satisfied to call themselves the originial title of 'Freshmenl A majority of the outstanding players in the tournament were members of the junior teams with such players as Doris Everett, Mona Marders, Pat Roan, Margaret Dabbs, and Lois Marler.

Skill tests were given to determine the ability of each girl. A score of 21 points was required for the A team. It was decided that the same size block should be awarded to winners in each league. Season honors- all went to the juniors. Both the A and B teams came out on top. Lucille Meyer, A captain, and Mildred Keith, B captain, were the leaders of these victorious teams. Pat Nystuen was senior A captain and Avis Canter guided the senior B's. The sophomore A team was head- ed by Darlene Miller. Jean Hyatt was sophomore B captain. Freshman captains were lla May Landsaw and Joyce Fylling, in charge of the A and B teams respectively. The junior teams climaxed their victories by celebrating with a banquet held at the YMCA for both league winners. In the banquet setting, the junior A team members selected Margaret 'Dabbs 'most valuable player' for the entire basketball season. Mildred Keith, captain of the junior B's was unanimously chosen as their 'most valuable playeri Mona Marders was manager of the extremely successful basketball season. A SURE HIT Take Me out to the Ball game! was the theme of 56 hard hitting lady batters as they answered call of the G.A.A. baseball season. Due to the small turn out from the senior and freshman classes, they were forced to divide up their teams. Practices and regular games were played each Tuesday and Thursday. The girls deserved a great deal of credit, be- cause during this time of year it was extremely hot and not too pleasant to play under the hot sun. Although two classes were forced to split up, it is hoped that each class may have a team of its own in the coming year. Judy Hyatt, Luralee Logan, and Jeanna Faye OlKelly were captains of their respective teams with Dorothy Harrison acting as baseball manager. 86 ' A GIRLS RACKET 'I ENNIS is a popular sport at Oroville Union High School. Approximate- ly 25 girls displayed their desire for tennis by taking up the racket . Annette Bolduc, tennis manager, kept this activity going full force. Competition was extremely high. Last term's tennis champ, Doi as Ever- ett, was again back offering plenty of fast playing to all on-comers, as did Pati Randolph, her net partner. Practices were held each Tuesday and Thursday night following school where the athletic fems don their sport outfits and practice developing and improving theirskill. After several weeks of practice, a tennis ladder was made and played off to determine the various winners of the single and double tournament matches. OUHS- has many outstanding tennis players and some promising ones for the years to come.
