CALIFORNIA JUNE, 1935 FOREWORD Mexico — our next door neighbor, for many years mother of California, the land of the Mayas, Toltecs, and Aztecs; conquered by Spain in her quest for gold, and declining thereafter—is today a country of color, where the natives have an utter lack of pretense and disregard of time. Mexican art, primi- tive, colorful, is delightful in its simplicity, and is becoming more predominant every year. Those who appreciate the unique and variant are charmed by its spell. � � As Mex- ico is so near, as it influences California so strongly, and as its art is becoming more popular, we feel justified in choos- ing a Mexican style of art for the 1935 ''Madrono.'' In appreciation for all he has done for the students and Palo Alto High School the Senior Class of 1935 dedicate this Madrono to WALTER H. NICHOLS IN MEMORIAM Roe Westfall CONTENTS SENIORS SCHOOL SOCIETIES SPORTS SENIORS 4 Cn CO CD ■MADRONO 1 Pauline Hunt, Phil Olsen, Anne Palmer, Hugh Jackson SENIOR CLASS FOUR years ago a group of bewildered, slightly wistful freshmen scut- tled along the interminable halls of their new habitat. Though not very prepossessing in appearance, they were ambitious and full of good intentions. Now leaving high school as assured, confident seniors, that same group looks back to its freshman days with mingled feelings of amusement and nostalgia. It looks back to those days through a vista of memorable events—Senior Week; Trelawney ; the few thoroughly worthwhile classes it has been in; the two or three good Jolly-Ups it has attended; the School Bonds parade; the hustle out of the condemned building; the Campanile's ballyhoo issue; the Television Jinx; and the Night Club Stunt Show; Much Ado ; the big game each year with Sequoia; the renewed feeling each spring of all's right with the world ; bull sessions; and the feminine equivalent; the bedlam of its first class meetings—back to the days when Churin was a cherub, and Love was unknown. These high school years have not seemed long, but a wealth of experience has been crowded into them. For that, and for the many lasting friendships formed here, we seniors of 1935 are deeply grateful. Hail, and farewell! — sf 9 MADRONOS 1 Anne Allen Mary Barkan David Bishop Marcella Bracchi Bob Brown Martin Anderson Carol Bartle Betty Blois Florence Bristef Dorothy Bearsby Martha Aragon Jane Belford Jean Blackman Ha7el Brock Joyce Buckhout Theresa Bardwell David Bell David Bradley Phyllis Braun Mabel Buss •• Cn co CD MADRONO Edward Cabral Antonio Chacon Florence Churin Sarita Crawford Helen Dahl A Edith Campbell Mario Chacon Irene Clifford Stuart Cross Jane Darsie Benn Capp Everett Chamberlin Bill Cooley James Cuhfe Kenneth Dempster Evelyn Carlson Robert Christiansen William Crawford Clover Cummings Anne Dingley len Farrell Sonia Freear Gere Glaimann MADRONOS Bill Downing France Fell William Fenerin Louite Freeman Catherine Grady John Duryea Ramon Eipinoia Harold Fletcher Hideo Furukawa Jama Graham Robert Earle La Verne Estrada Feggy Frame Eleanor Gerlouqh Morriton Greenlaw •i ■MADRONO Katharine Grots Ja a GuMhtf Do © H ck v ld th Mallum tft'b� ' luoeoe Marvie ICatMatn Haiti© Wa ace Navel M«rf Hie � Boot HiUback Jean Ho «l Paulin Haul Hugh Jackson Mary Janovich Lota Jenkins Doris Jew Ruth Johnson Virginia Kammerer Joe Keller Cora Kimball MADRON Allred Kinq John Koortz Lowell Kuehnle Jana Lawrence Mary Lee Paul Livesay Caroline Locke Louil Love William Lyman Betty McClure Marjorie McCoy William McKaig Margaret McKee William McLean Jerry Macabe Dorn Macklin Edward Macowsky Ruth Madland Francie Mai lard Ralston Maloney Cn CO CD ■MADRONO Don Malott Betty Mesenburq Eugene Moodie Charlene Napoer Milada Omelka Sylvia Manning Harry Millet Hal Moreno Spencer Oakley Nancy Osborne Flora Martens Mary Bell Meredith Kathleen Mills Robert Minor Merle Morris Maurice Musy Magdaieno Octavio Phil Olsen Anne Palmer Jean Palmer Mary Palmer Richard Park Georgia Petersen Leone Petersen Carl Reynolds Helen Richards Dorothy Rogers Betsy Ross Milton Schofield Marion Schreckenghaust Jack Parker Norman Pennington Louis Pingree Basil Proll Tom Roberts Benson Roe Robert Ryon Florence Seampini Edward Seaton Alvin Sebrinq cn co co cn co CD ■MADRONO 1 Gaorge Sherrill Francai Silva Jamai Stone Jena «an dar Hooql Evelyn Wabb leflie Sharwood Keith Sip fra Edvard Th: « luth Yourl ■ ■ oy Wait y ■a My She Hugh Smith laid Thompaon lan Watkini Mary Jana Whaer Rcbarl Shrave Luwarna Smith ?‘ 'da lr edton •dU t Weave Lcrraina Wheeler Arthur White Frances Whitman John Wilson Newell Wood Sydney Worthington David White Caroline Wickett Marjorie Wilson Philip Woodyatt Marjorie Wynne MADRONOI 1 OTHER SENIORS WILLIAM COOPMAN WILLIAM ENGMAN JOHN FERGUSEN HUGH GILL MRS.

GAMONDSON ZELDA TROEDSON ABLE, efficient, well-liked, were the commissioners of 1934-35. Despite the handi- cap of noisy, unsegregated offices, mislaid materials, inconveniences of moving, their responsibilities they fulfilled beyond criticism. Popular Commissioner of Social Welfare Louis 'Pete' Love produced good assemblies and Jolly-Ups, better dances. Jack Wilson, quiet, hard-working Commissioner of Finance, finished three semesters of fine work in a glory-less department. As Commissioner of Publications, Mary Delia Palmer proved herself a worthy journalist. Campanile, Lit, Madrono give evidence of her organizing ability. In the position of Com- missioner of Girls' Activities, perhaps the most nerve-wracking post of all, was Zelda Troedson, who came through with flying colors. Exceptionally well- managed by Commissioner of Boys' Athletics David Bradley were concessions, accounts, the BAC. Well did Jane Gunther do as Secretary to the Commissioners. -4 28 Cn CO 05 ■MADRONO 1 STUDENT COURT MABEL BUSS MR. 5HIPPY JANE DARSIE LLOYD WILSON TOM NEWELL ED SEATON NOW five years old, the Student Court this year had fewer, more important cases than usual. This bears out the assumption upon which it was founded, namely, a court conducted by students would decrease student evasion of laws, disputes. Noteworthy this year were decisions handed down by the court on its first case involving drunkenness, on a dispute between commissioners as to the distri- bution of student body revenues. Appointee Mabel Buss finished the unexpired term of Benson Roe, who was forced to resign because of conflicting activities. Her term ended in February, as did that of Chairman Ed Seaton. Harvey Clarke and Mary Alice Tomson were elected to take office at the beginning of the second semester. Out at the end of the year went Tom Newell (second semester chair- man), fane Darsie (secretary), Lloyd Wilson. As always, Faculty Adviser Melvin E. Shippy carried out his functions to perfection. -4 29 - MADRONO! 1 GIRLS' LEAGUE ZELDA TROEDSON PAULINE HUNT MISS PRESTON DECIDEDLY handicapped by the loss throughout most of the year of the Girls' I Clubroom and the Auditorium, the Girls' League nevertheless carried through a successful program. Under trying conditions Commissioner of Girls' Activities Zelda Troedson and Faculty Adviser Miss Ruth Preston worked incessantly, ably assisted by Girls' League Cabinet members, as follows: Anne Palmer, head of social service; Gene Glassman, head of senior advisers; Nancy Jenkins entertainment head; Barbara Clark, Girls' Clubroom hostess; Florence Churin, G. A. A. representative; Pauline Hunt, secretary. Perhaps due to the cramped quarters and inefficiencies of the Little Theater, the Girls' Jinx was not quite such I a success as usual. On the theme of a patchwork quilt, as was the Jinx, the annual Mothers' Tea was, as always, a huge success. To the Girls' League Convention I as Paly's representatives went Barbara Clark, Zelda Troedson, and Miss Preston. - ♦{ 30 I II I cn co co cn co co MADRONO 1 BOYS’ LEAGUE MR.

The Fresh Tyro, treshman boys get-together, initiated the year s activities. Although torced to meet in the cold outdoor theater o, draughty boys gym, the boys were presented several good programs in the loll.

Se- questered in the draughty, ill-lighted, inconvenient basement, the committee was forced to accept its fate, work stoically. After the student body had voted in favor of changing the system, the commissioners, faculty, various sub-commit- tees, debated for weeks ways and means of carrying out the students' mandate. Finally from their deliberations minor variations resulted; the system itself was unchanged. Re-enforced early in the year by the board was its underlying policy of not giving points for work outside the high school. This year's chairman, David Bell, mitigated as best he could the lot of his fellow-workers. Yeoman work did members of the staff Jean Palmer, Mary Alice Tomson, Kent Hansen, Boardman Moore, do. Of sweatshop facilities, they made the best. Especially helpful this year was the wise counsel and sound advice, of our Faculty Adviser Mrs. Leona H. McCully. ef32 - cn co CO Gn CO CO 1 MADRONO CO-OP. BENSON ROE MR. MclNNIS BILL DOWNING OTTO WIDEMAN ERNIE WUTHMAN BILL CRAWFORD FAR has the Co-op advanced since its beginning ten years ago under the wing of the Forum Club. Supervised technically by the Commissioner of Finance and practically by Faculty Adviser William Carr Mclnnis, the Co-op is now inde- pendent, secure, better equipped than almost any other organization. To it go nearly all Play Hi students for school supplies. Although exercising a prac- tical monopoly, the Co-op has played fair with students, given them reductions, special bargains, a let-up from the universal cry for saies-tax pennies. Operating With slightly lessened stocks and under the necessity of paying the sales tax, it this year carried on better business than ever before, remained the school's most profitable institution. Replaced as manager at the first semester's end was Benson Hoe, by Bill Downing. Assistant Manager Bill Crawford and Clerk Ernie Wuth- man worked in the store the full year; Otto Wideman joined as clerk the second semester. -« 33 ►- II MADRONOS 1 G. A. A.

Under President Florence Churin and Faculty Adviser Miss Grace Hartley, the G.A.A. has expanded considerably, despite the handicap of sports being limited in time to seventh period. Now the chief activity of the G. A. A., sports-days this year were more numerous, success- ful, than ever before. Able assistants to an able president were vice-president Frances Silvey, secretary Dorothy Hackley. Loyal and extensive was the work done by G. A. A.

A. C. BILL CRAWFORD ELLIOTT HILLBACK HUGH JACKSON JERRY EMORY MR. RAY TOM SHREVE LYNN GRISELL BOB SHREVE SAMMY SHERIDAN HARVEY CLARKE ED SEATON MARRED by squabbles among factions from different sports, the BAC's year was nevertheless satisfactory, productive. The system of awarding letters, per- petually debated, perennially rehashed, was almost completely revised for the fourth time in four years. Minor letters, shorn of their circles last year, became even more like miniature Block P's with the omission of any identifying numerals. Recognized was the hard work, hitherto unrewarded, of the yell-leaders; special minor letters, distinguished by miniature megaphones, were voted to them. Water Polo, newest field of Paly athletics, was officially made a minor sport. Commis- sioner of Boys' Athletics David Bradley, automatically the BAC's Chairman, filled his position well. Ed Seaton, registration manager, ably acted as secretary. Faculty Adviser Howard C. Ray, nearly succeeding in being impartial, served excellently as balance-wheel for the organization's deliberations. -4 35 MADRONO! 1 GIRLS’ BLOCK P Top Row: Meafs. Blois, Webb, Moore, Robertson.

COMPLETELY honorary is the Girls' Block P Society, corresponding in that respect to the boys' similar organization. A society open to any girl who has won a Block P in girls' sports, its somewhat highflown aims are: to keep up the high standard of sportsmanship among the girls; to regulate the sports activities; to afford a goal for which girls may strive in playing after school sports; and to offer an organization founded for girls interested in athletics. This year saw the final abolition of the always superfluous initiations; the organization's one social event was a picnic held at Searsville in the Spring. The society is subject to the same rules and officers—namely: Florence Churin, president; Frances Sil- vey, vice-president; Dorothy Hackley, secretary; Miss Grace Hartley, faculty . adviser-—as the G. A. A. For its purpose, it is completely adequate. - 4 36 )§►• Cn co CD ■MADRONO 1 9 3 5 BOYS’ BLOCK P Top Row: Neel, Parker, Bell, Sabring, fifth Row: Kuehnla, Roth, Graham, Herreman.

Not nearly as efficient as it should be is the Society's police-work around the school; effective, however, is its traffic regulating at crowded comers. Sponsored by the Society is the annual Block P Dance, given this year in February; this year, as usual, it was outstanding. Each year the neophytes of the organization are subjected la a mass assault and battery, laughingly referred to as initiations ; at San Gregorio, as is customary, this year’s new members were manhandled. Ben Farrell, duly elected president, was forced to resign art the half-year; Hugh Jack- son, until then vice-president, filled his shoes well. Wallace Kemper acted as secretary-treasurer. Howard C. Ray. that ubiquitous faculty adviser, again proved his worth in his usual position. - i| 37 ) ■- MINOR LETTER SOCIETY Top Row: Goodwin, Bishop, Miles. Anderson. Muir.

AS the Block P Society is the organization for major-letter winners, the Minor Letter Society organizes the boys who have won awards in minor sports. Its avowed purposes-—to bring the athletes in minor sports together; to promote in- terest in minor sports; to raise the standard of sportsmanship; to better the scholar- ship of athletes—it this year kept working toward. To be deplored, however, is the laxity which the members pf the society assigned to guarding cars and policing the grounds have developed. No longer is a person challenged if he is leaving school without a pass; no longer is there efficient insurance against car theft. Rather small, and composed chiefly of swimmers, the Society's main activity this year was its initiations. Also the Society contributed a good skit to the Stunt Show. President Jerry Emory, Vice-president Harvey Clarke, Secretary- treasurer David Bishop, filled their positions adequately. -4 38 Cn CO CO ■MADRONO 1 SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY MISS CRAMER LLOYD WILSON JEAN YUILL MABEL BUSS THE Palo Alto High School Scholarship Society, Chapter No. 3 of the California Scholarship Federation, seeks to give recognition to those students with high scholastic records. Seriously debated this year was the question of whether the society was worth having, whether it was not providing merely an impetus to work for grades. By a 2-to-l vote the student body endorsed the CSF; it is now ©ven more permanent at Paly Hi. This year's president was hard-working Mabel Buss. Lloyd Wilson filled the nominal post of vice-president; as secretary-treas- urer Jean Yuill worked ably. Miss Sophia Cramer, energetic faculty adviser, was unremitting in her efforts for the Society. She attended the annual CSF conference at Riverside; worked hard on the Scholarship Dance, single social affair of the group. In a class remarkable for its high scholarship, nineteen seniors received their life membership pins at the first semester’s end. -«[ 39 )$� - SOCIETIES •• cn CO CD ■MADRONO MADRONO TO carry cut the informal Mexican theme of this year's Madrono ' many changes have been made in the style of the annual. Informal pic- tures have been used this year because the Madrono had such a limited budget, and it was the only way possible to have as many pic- tures as last year. � If it hadn't been for the successful advertising campaign, it would have been impossible to have published the 'Mad- rono. Several new methods were used for advertising, which proved to be vary helpful, namely, listing the names of the advertisers each week in the Campanile, and posting on the bulletin board the names of the merchants who co-operated with the Madrono . � � The staff is grate- ful to Lederer, Street S Zeus Co., Graphic Arts Engraving Co., and Kee Coleman Studio for their fine co-operation and generous assistance. � Caroline Wickett, the editor, was assisted by Benson Roe, business manager; Elliott Hillback, Lorraine Wheeler, and Hugh Jackson, ad- vertising; Caroline Locke and Marie de Lemos, art; Jean Dodge and David Bell, organizations; Harry Millet and Jack Parker, photography; Bob Shreve and Kay Gross, sports; Gene Glasmann, drama; Jane Darsie and Stuart Cross, humor; Pauline Hunt, typist. � � The staff is thankful for all the fine and helpful assistance of Miss Huntington which made it possible to publish the Madrono.

MADRONO CAMPANILE KEEPING up the high standards set by past editors, the Campanile again placed first this year in the annual contest sponsored by the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association. This is the second successive year that this publication has won the first award. Two other contests, the National and the Quill and Scroll, were also entered, although as yet no results have been received. The Campanile” was also repre- sented at two press conventions—one at Stanford in the fall and one at the University of California in the spring. The latter was attended by the entire editorial and business staffs. The Sequanile published jointly each year by the Campanile and the Sequoia Times appeared again last February, with Redwood City acting as hosts. Credit is due to the efficient editorial and business staffs consisting of Mary Palmer, editor-in-chief; Anne Allen, managing editor; Tom Newell, associate edi- tor; Caroline Wickett, Mary Nickel, and Bob Orr, feature editors; Bill Coopman, sports editor; Jerry Emory, assistant sports editor; Marcella Bracchi, girls’ sports editor; Anne Dingley, exchange editor; James Stone and David Bell, business managers; Jean Dodge, Gene Glasmann, Jack Banham, and Ronald Paterson, assistant business managers; Gene Glas- mann, advertising manager.

LITERARY MAGAZINE THE Literary Magazine of Palo Alto High School, more popularly known as the Lit, has just successfully finished its eighth year of publication. Starting as a mimeographed leaflet eight years ago, it has now de- veloped into a printed magazine. At the first of the year the Lit was changed from a quarterly to cm enlarged semi-annual publication. This fact enabled the staff to have more time in which to make up the mag- azine, allowed space for longer stories, and offered a wider field for the use of block prints. Also, this year there have been no themes for the various issues of the Lit, thus enabling a more diversified content. � � � The Lit at last seems to be on a firm financial basis. This year it was supported chiefly by the sale of potato chips in the halls during the noon hour and by the proceeds of the sale of soup and ice-cream from the cafeteria. Also, several food sales were held in the down-town dis- trict during the year. All foods such as salads, cakes, and candies were donated by different students and sold at these sales. � � The staff of this year's Lit was comprised of Jean Blackman, editor-in-chief, and Jane Ewing, business manager. Mrs. Naomi Gill, as faculty adviser, was instrumental in making the magazine a success. -4( 43 ►- MADRONO! Top Row: Bob Orr, Mr. Roberts, Tom Newell.

QUILL AND SCROLL SOCIETY ALTHOUGH it was decided to have the Palo Alto High School Quill and Scroll Society remain purely honorary as before, the chapter voted this year to make it more prominent among school activities than it had been previously. � � Even though the organization is still in its early years, having been founded at the University of Iowa on April 10, 1926, it has progressed rapidly throughout the United States and other na- tions. The recommendations for members are to be scholastically in the upper third division of his or her class, and to have done distinctive work in some phase of high school journalism. � � Meetings were held once a month to discuss plans for the initiation of new members and to make arrangements for the future of the society. � Officers of the society, which were elected last spring, were Kathleen Norris, president, and Caroline Wickett, secretary-treasurer. The Quill and Scroll Society is very grateful to Mr. Holland D. Roberts for his helpful suggestions as faculty adviser. � � Members who were recently elected into the so- ciety for their outstanding work on seme publication are Peggy Frames, Jean Dodge, Gene Glasmann, David Bell, Jean Tickell and Margaret Manning. At an assembly Mr. Roberts presented the newly elected members their Quill and Scroll pins. -H| 44 Cn co CO cn co co ■MADRONO THESPIAN CLUB ALTHOUGH handicapped by not having the use of the auditorium, Thespian productions started enthusiastically by opening the year with the presentation of two one-act plays in the little theater on October 17. The first play. A Wedding, a hilarious comedy of the trials and trib- ulations of a bridegroom who has no collar button, was well received. Benson Roe as the bridegroom, Jack Parker as the best man, and Jane Gunther as the bride—all portrayed their characters excellently. Others in the cast were Louis Love, Mary Alice Tomson, Jack Wilson, and Caro- line Wickett. The other play, The Florist Shop, is a warning to senti- mental clerks in florist shops who take to matchmaking. Prominent in the cast were Barbara Clark, who was the clerk, Ernie Wuthman, Pauline Hunt, and Lloyd Wilson. � � � The annual Christmas gift to the school, a picturesque pageant of Medieval customs of celebrating Christmas in England, was Christmasse Revels, in which the entire club was cast. � � � Adding to its dramatic undertakings, the club presented play readings once a month for the student body. The outstanding ones were: Saint Joan, by Bernard Shaw; Once in a Lifetime, by George Kauf- man; Journey's End, by Sherriff. These readings will probably con- tinue in future years.

TRELAWNY OF THE ‘WELLS' CLIMAXING one of its most active seasons, the Thespian Club pre- sented Sir Arthur Pinero's four-act comedy Trelawny of the 'Wells', a costume play of the 1860's( on April 13. The story concerns Rose Tre- lawny, who gives up her career as an actress to marry Arthur Gower, a young aristocrat. � � The play opens in a boarding house where Rose , and her fellow actors live. Jane Darsie as Rose charmingly pictured a girl torn between the stage and Arthur. James Stone, as Tom Wrench, an unappreciated actor, was excellent. As Augustus Colpoys, David Bell outdid himself as a comedian. Louis Love was good as the jealous husband of Avonia, played by Pauline Hunt so vivaciously and grace- fully that she was outstanding. Beth Doty successfully did the role of an affected young actress. The pathos of Mr. and Mrs. Telfer, has-beens of the stage, was well presented by Jack Wilson and Jane Gunther. Par- ticularly outstanding was Jack Parker's fine portrayal of Sir Gower, the crusty old patrician who ruled his family with an iron-hand. Ann Palmer as his sister was amusing. Benson Roe fitted well into the part of the handsome young Arthur. � Others in the cast were Stuart Cross, Vir- ginia Chapman, Phyllis Dewey, Paul Livesay, Ernest Wuthman, and Lloyd Wilson. On the whole the play was a lovely picture of mid-Vic- torian life. - «8(46)« - Gn CO CO ■MADRONO GIRLS' JINX A CAPACITY audience attended both nights of the Eleventh Annual Jinx, pre- 5 sented by the Girls' League on November 2 and 3 in the little theater. The theme was The Patchwork Quilt. The show opened with a prologue in which an old grandmother was explaining to her two grandchildren the stories connected with the different patches in her quilt. The first stunt, Grandmother's Quilt Come to Life, opened the door to those grand old days of the 1890's. There was an exceptional variety of stunts, in which approximately 150 girls took part. � � Among the most entertaining stunts was Two for Four, a tale of a gay young blade who takes his lady-friend riding on his bicycle-built-for-two, only to be outdone by another who owned a flivver. An amusing skit was The Gingham Dog and Calico Cat. There were several dancing ensembles. The Old- Fashioned Dancing School and Bicycle-Built-for-Two were both clever comic sketches. Following this was The Flying Troupers, an exceedingly funny acrobatic skit. Finishing the program with Gypsy Caravan and Dutch Treat, all the girls were present in the finale. � � The Jinx was under the direction of Miss Ruth Preston, Dean of Girls, and Zelda Troedson, Commissioner of Girls' Activities. BOYS' STUNT SHOW THE Boys League presented their Sixth Annual Stunt Show, April 27, in the auditorium. Harvey Clarke, who acted as master of ceremonies, carried off the stage-show theme with remarkable ease. Much of the credit for the suc- cess of the production goes to A1 Sebring and his Royal Vikings, a jazz orchestra which came near to stealing the show. Sid Worthington and David Bradley sing- ing popular songs were well received. Miles Metzger and Benn Capp performed many difficult acrobatic stunts to a breathless audience. Too Many Crooks was a slap-stick comedy, which although it didn't have much sense, was very funny. The Block P Society presented their most talented dancers in a graceful ballet. Under the direction of Hod Ray, one of the gym classes put on a well- worked out mass tumbling act. A very clever comedy sketch was performed by Bill Longmire and Lee Rodgers. A mock trial, featured by the student court, in rag-time verse, Common Clay, was immensely enjoyed. In all, the 12 acts held everyone's attention until the last curtain was drawn. The set was modern- istic and designed by Don Malott. The show was directed by Coach Hod Ray and Bob Shreve, president of the Boys' League. 4 v f - MADRONO! ‘The Tellers Fellowship Stem Submissive Concentrated Dynamite It No Cheers ? i DRAMA SNAPS I I - «j| 48 ) ►-- Cn CO CO cn Co CD ■MADRONO ll Top Row: A.

TENNIS CLUB THE Tennis Club, whose purpose is to provide an organization for all Palo Alto High School tennis players, boys and girls alike, had a very successful year, gaining many new members and raising itself in the esteem of the student body. This represented a very considerable ac- complishment, as the opinion of the Tennis Club held by the majority of the students has not been high, because of bad management and financial difficulties of student officers in the past. To the present officers of the club. President Paul Livesay and Vice-president Ruth Younkin, is due in large measure credit for the very satisfactory year. Starting in the fall with a mixed-doubles tournament, which was won by the team of Boardman Moore and Ruth Younkin, the year's program included several important meetings and a spring mixed-doubles tournament. The club-maintained tennis ladder, with both boys and girls competing, was this year more successful than ever, necessitating the formation of a second ladder to take care of the overflow from the first. To Faculty Adviser Mrs. Fay L. Younkin, herself an ardent tennis player, is due much credit, many thanks from the Tennis Club. BAND MADRONOS 1 UNDER the direction of Ernest P. Alwyn, the band advanced rapidly this year. It is to be congratulated for its commendable performance at the 1934 State Band Tournament in San Francisco, where it won highest honors. The band now holds the A-class trophy for high school bands in Northern California. � � � During the past year the band held regular practices and was ready to help with programs whenever desired. It played at all league football games, thus adding greatly to their zest and spirit, and throughout the year it gave bi-weekly concerts, which furnished entertainment for both the students and the general public. � � � The band also took an active part in community affairs. It partici- pated in the Armistice, Christmas, and May Day parades, and it played at the Palo Alto City Reception, for the D. A. R. Flag-Raising, and for the Independent Merchants' League. � � � The band of this year has fifty- eight members regularly enrolled, while that of last year had only forty- four. There are in addition a number of students who are unable, because of their programs, to become regular members. These students, however, play with the band at many of its important functions, and, when this is the case, there are approximately seventy-five members.. Of- rx ♦H 50} Cn CO CD MADRONO ORCHESTRA UNDER the competent leadership of Ernest P. Alwyn, the orchestra has grown remarkably, both in size and achievements, during the past year. In size it has grown from thirty-four to forty-seven regular members, while the grade of music being presented on school programs is much higher. � � � The orchestra has had many engagements during the past year. It has furnished the music for several stage plays at the Com- munity Theater and also has assisted in various school affairs, such as playing during the intermissions of the Thespian Club presentation of Trelawny of the 'Wells'. It will also unite with the band at commence- ment exercises on June 14. Three concerts were given during the past year- -one at the Palo Alto City Reception in October, one at the Moun- tain View High School, and one at the Community Theater in May. The orchestra also gave approximately ten school concerts during its regular rehearsal period, which the study hall students and the public were invited to attend free of charge. Either a soloist or a small ensemble group was generally featured on each of these programs. � � Special note should be taken of the fact that the orchestra has succeeded very well in spite of having to use the Little Theater instead of the Auditorium for most of the year. MADRONO! GIRLS' GLEE CLUB UNDER he guidance of Mrs. Dorothy Ketman, as faculty adviser, and Flora Martens, Barbara Bell, and Dorothea Campbell, as president, vice- president, and secretary-treasurer, respectively, the Girls' Glee Club has had a busy year. Caroling along the halls was an activity which took place the Friday afternoon before Christmas vacation, and Christmas morning the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs went caroling together. � � � The annual Glee Club dance, a formal affair, met with approval. One hundred and five bids were sold. The theme was that of a South Sea Island, and the decorations, which were a false ceiling of blue stream- ers, tall palm trees, and a large yellow moon, were attractive in carrying out that idea. � � Although there were no outstanding singers, there were many good voices this year in the Girls' Glee Club. They were ap- parent in the program of songs presented at the Mothers' Tea, in the program presented before the Girls' League, in the girls' dancing pro- gram, and in the program given before one of the meetings of the Parent- Teacher Association. Meetings have been held Wednesday and Friday mornings during the past year. Much of the success, of the current year was due to the cooperation of Mrs. Ketman. Top Row: F. Ellet Brown. Patterson.

The new members were initiated at a joint meeting of the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, during which each neophyte presented a short skit. Dancing completed the evening. � � � At Christmas time, the Boys' Glee Club caroled at all the schools of Palo Alto on Friday before vacation, and on Christmas morning the club joined with the Girls' Glee Club in their caroling. � � � The Boys' Glee Club sang quite a few selections at the annual Spring Festival, sponsored by all the musical organizations of numerous high schools in this vicinity and held this year at Palo Alto. � ■� � The club also sang before the Boys' League, the Rotary Club, and numerous other organizations, and concluded a successful season by presenting a sailor stunt for the Boys' Stunt Show which was one of the outstanding hits of the show. � � � The officers for the year were Don Malott, president; Bernard Casaurang, vice-president; Paul Livesay, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. J. B. Nichols, faculty adviser, to whose patient guidance much of the success of the club is due. Although the individual voices of the boys were not outstanding, they blended very well and the effect of the ensemble was harmonious. Top Row: Engel, Fought.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR THIS year has been an extremely successful one for the A Cappella Choir. Its membership has grown from thirty-five to fifty-eight students, and many public appearances have been made. Cooperating with San Jose, Gilroy, and Hollister, the Palo Alto choir presented an A Cappella Festival which, because of its success, will be given annually. The choir in Decem- ber assisted the Community Players in presenting a Russian Miracle Play, two performances of which were given at the Community Theater, and one at the Tivoli Theater in San Francisco. February was also a busy month, as the choir sang at mid-year graduation exercises, contributed to the P. T. A. Jolly-Up entertainment, and attended the Choir Festival in San Jose. In March a Sunday Evening Vesper Hour program was pre- sented at the Castilleja Chapel. The most outstanding performance of the year, however, was held this spring when the choir presented a formal concert in the auditorium, with Bess Mannon, cellist, as guest soloist. � Under the chairmanship of Morrison Greenlaw, a success- ful Hallowe'en dance was sponsored, which helped to pay for the ad- ditional choir robes purchased this year. � � � Since the choir functions only as a musical organization, not as a social one, it has no officers. Mrs. Dorothy L. Ketman is faculty adviser, to whom much of the success of the past year is due. £ cn CO CD Cn co co ■MADRONO FORUM CLUB THE Forum Club has again become a leading school activity. After last year, during which the organization declined practically to a state of non-existence, a few of the more interested members reorganized the club. Tom Newell, who was forced to resign the office of president because of conflicting activities, was replaced by Ramon Espinosa. Tom Newell was then made vice-president, and Ed Macowsky was elected secretary. William Carr Mclnnis was retained as faculty ad- viser. The club was also enlarged, as ten new members were admitted after the tryouts held last fall. � � Two series of League debates were participated in by the club, the first in December and the second in March. In the first series Ed and Melville Macowsky, Lloyd Wilson, and Ramon Espinosa debated on the subject Federal Aid to Education, while in the second series Tom Newell, Ramon Espinosa, Lloyd Wilson, and Albert De Roy debated on the subject Socialized Medicine. � � Inter-school debates were also held with Girls' High, San Jose High, Lowell, and Galileo, while approximately every quarter an inter-club debate was held. One of the most outstanding of these was on the question of Communism. The club also participated in the annual Oratorical Contest, which was held at Stanford on April 27.

After a few discussions held early in the year on the composition of pictures and the choice of subjects, regular demonstrations were made in the dark room above the wood-working shop on the development of films and the making of contact prints. The boys in the club then made their own printing boxes. After an enlarging apparatus was constructed, however, the problems of that phase of photography were worked out. Experi- ments were tried with ferrotyping and intensification of negatives, and much interest was shown in the explanation of bromoils and a transfer on common wrapping-paper. � � In the fall the members of the club went on several field-trips for the purpose of taking pictures of the land- scape. Early in the spring Mr. Kellogg gave the members a very instruc- tive talk about photographic lighting and various devices for producing certain photographic effects. He allowed the students to examine the construction of his own camera and other equipment in his professional studio. Later, the club had an exhibition of enlargements by Mr. New- ton. � � The officers for the past year were Harry Millet, president; A1 White, dark room manager. Top Row: Miller Malott, Sheri 11.

Anibal, this club has passed through considerable heavy weather, and is now, at the end of its first year of existence, well-established. Starting the year prosaicly calling itself a Science Club, the organization changed its name to the Agassiz Society, and, being still dissatisfied, finished the year with the some- what pretentious title: Society of Natural Philosophy. Valuable research work was done by various members of the club on microscope photographs, planetary study, other scientific subjects. To President Jack Decius, Secretary Leif Frand- sen, Treasurer Ed Macowsky, in large measure is due the worthwhile program of the club, much credit for filling with their organization a long felt want. Since the members of the club this year were nearly all sophomores, they should develop it greatly the next two years. COMPLETELY reorganized and reconditioned was the Stamp Club this year. Blessed with increasing membership, the club's year was a banner one. This semester it was rechristened the Palo Alto High School Philatelic Society. Numerous auctions, the club's chief source of revenue, were successfully held; interesting talks and discoveries were made. As the original officers were forced to resign because of conflicting activities, to take their places were elected in the second semester President Milton Schofield, Vice-president Evelyn Webb, Secretary-treasurer Robert Christianson. These officers ably carried on the suc- cessful work, and made the club an interesting mecca for the rabid stamp- collector as well as for the mere dub. Tried for a time were exhibits of interest- ing stamps collected by members; these proved successful and may be continued. ALTHOUGH forced to work in the cramped quarters of the Little Theater for the first three-quarters of this year, the Stage Crew did its best, as sets for the Christmas Play, One-Acts, Jinx, testify. Well rewarded were they when the new auditorium was opened. For their especial benefit was the fireproof, convenient stage, with its four flies, new spot apertures, and a wondrous new switchboard, controlling the beautiful new foot and house lights. A domain which would gladden the hearts of any stage crew in any high school did not go unappre- ciated. Stage Manager Ed Thoits, Assistant Manager Bill Crawford, Electrician Hugh Jackson and Waldron Baldy'' Wilson demonstrated their capabilities for the three-act Trelawny.” Future Stage Crews will benefit from the equipment, fixtures, initiated this year. PHILATELIC SOCIETY CREW - 4 57 fr- MADRONO! THE LATIN CLUB THE Senatus Populusque Romanus convened many times during the past year to keep the spirit of Ancient Rome alive. Each meeting, with Miss Lusanna Clary an inspiring faculty adviser and the members willing Romans, was made by plays, reports, games, or songs. � � Because of their outstanding work in the club, a few students of freshman Latin were presented with the distinguished wreathed pin, which is usually worn by only second, third, and fourth year students. � � As its final achievement of the year, the club presented to the school an artistic pageant of pantomine and dance, The Vestal Virgins. � � The officers who served this year are Caroline Locke, Dictator; Ruth Madland, First Consul; John Duryea, Quaestor; Ramon Espinosa, Censor; and Polly Brett, representative for the freshmen. THE SPANISH CLUB THE Spanish Club, wnose membership was larger this year than ever before, held a series of very interesting and varied meetings during the past year. The purpose of these meetings was to acquaint the members of the club with Spanish- speaking countries and their unusual customs and to promote a friendly feeling among the students of Spanish. � � During the meetings, plays in Spanish were presented by the members of 'the club, and Spanish songs were studied and sung. Also, a Spanish Festival was celebrated at Christmas time, and in the spring a picnic at Searsville was held. � � The officers for the past year were Marjorie Wilson, president; Bob Minor, secretary; and Pansy Anderson, librar- ian. Mrs. Lina Guerrero proved to be a very able and helpful faculty adviser. THE FRENCH CLUB SINCE other languages in the school have their own clubs, the fourth year French class at the beginning of the year organized Le Cercle Francois. All French students were invited to join. The following officers were elected: Mar- garet McKee, president; Martha Jane Ellet, vice-president; Jane Belford, secre- tary; and Wallace Hayes, treasurer. Mrs. Cecile Wilson was chosen faculty adviser. � � Later in the year, a letter was sent to the League of Education of the International French Club. The permission to join and information concern- ing the organization was sent back; so the French Club is now part of an interna- tional organization. --if 58 J - cn co co Cn CO CO ■MADRONO Madrono Mogul's Spanish Club Officers CLUB SNAPS SPORTS • tn CO CD Back Row: Capp, Muir, Roth, Neel, P.

FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL AFTER winning three practice games, with Menlo, Halfmoon Bay, and Fremont, Ned John's Freshman - Sophomore grid team tackled San Mateo. Near the end of the third quarter, Tom Shreve broke through the Bearcat line to block a kick, giving the Vik- ings the ball on the two-yard line. After be- ing pushed back to the 18-yard line, Hansen threw a pass to Fought for the only score of the game. � � Held back by injuries to Lesh, Vander- voort, and Zink, John's charges lost the next game to the Burlingame Panthers by a score of 19 to 0. � � � Putting together a touchdown and a 35-yard place kick by Hansen, and a safety resulting from a kick blocked by Tom Shreve, the Vikings trounced the Sequoia babes 11 to 0. � � Again hampered by injuries, the Freshman-Sophomores dropped a 25 to 0 decision to San Jose. � The mainstays of the team were Co-captains Vandervoort and Shreve, Fought, Hansen, Zink, Widasky, Meredith, Espi- nosa, Erickson, Denny, Whistler, and Thomen.

Opening their league season with Burlingame, the Dimes tried hard but lost 21-15. Thoroughly outclassed by San lose, the Vikings dropped a 25-9 decision. In a fast game the Tens lost a tough battle to Sequoia 11-9. Again outclassed, they were beaten by San Mateo 22-7. Their only victory in league competition came against South City with a 15-12 win. In the final game with Sequoia, the Norsemen were again defeated. O'Grady was captain of this team and the other outstanding players were Love, Moreno, Baker, Gunther, Matsunaga, Okada, Krogh, and Smith. 120 BASKETBALL THE twenty basketball team was the most successful of all the lightweights, winning two of its six league games. After a practice schedule of six games, the Twenties opened their league contests with Burlingame. The Panthers possessed more finesse and skill and won the game 20-15. In the next game with San Jose the Norsemen displayed a flashy offense and won by a score of 22-12. Sequoia, the next hurdle of the Vikings, proved too powerful and were victorious by a score of 17-8. Against San Mateo, Fraser's men again found their stride and beat the Bearcats in a well played game 14-10. The Twenties lost their next game to South City 25-13 and in the big game with Sequoia they were again the losers. Besides the co-captains, the outstanding players were Wideman, Zwierlein, Self, Emery, Yamamoto, Ujita, Leung, and Saito. 130 BASKETBALL THE thirty basketball team, captained by Howard Estes, went through an un- successful season in the matter of games won. After a stiff practice schedule in which the Red and Green triumphed over Hayward, Santa Cruz, Watsonville, and Santa Clara, the Vikings faced San Jose in their first league game, the Bull- dogs winning 29-16. In the next game, Ned John's men dropped a heart-breaking decision to San Mateo 21-20. Losing to Sequoia 29-9, and to South City 23-9 on successive Fridays, the Vikings crashed through to beat Burlingame 20-18. Un- able to match the Cherokee's class, the Thirties lost their last game 20-10. � � � The leading scorer of the team was Miles, followed by Hills. Other members of the team were Captain Estes, Stone, Jew, Lesh, Vandervoort, Liles, Grannucci, Belleveau, Mayer, Hoffacker, Garr, Kaneda, McKaig, and Birdsell. -••if 65 )§►-- Top Row: Christiansen, P.

In no league game were the freshmen-sophomores ever completely out- classed, their biggest margin of defeat being three runs. With only three teams entered in the league, it was necessary to play San Jose and Sequoia twice to round out a satisfactory season.

As this book goes to press, the Norsemen stand an excellent chance of winning the N.C.S. title. The outstanding star of the team was Wally Kemper, who clipped 4.3 seconds off the 220-yard swim, as well as winning the 100-yard sprint. Ted Holmes won the 50-yard swim with lack Parker taking third. In winning the breast stroke, Lloyd Wilson exceeded his best previous mark, being timed in 1:16.3. Jack Manwaring came through to grab fourth, in this race. Goodwin, second only to Kemper, took sec- ond in the 220. Easily outclassing the rest of the field, White and Man- ning placed first and second in the diving. Bill Crawford shook off a cold long enough to trounce the back stroke swimmers. Dave White won the medley swim for his second win of the meet, leading teammate Jack Manwaring to the finish. Using inexperienced swimmers, the Vik- ings were content with getting fourth in the medley relay and second in the six-man event. Credit is due Coach Fraser for winning three championships in swimming. - 4 70)fr- Cn CO CO tn co cd Top Row: Wiley, Prouse, Love, Mayor, Hann, Clarke, Emory, Wuthman, Whistler.

LIGHTWEIGHT SWIMMING LIKE their track brothers, the 110 swimmers were P.A.L. champions, winning every event except the 50-yard breast-stroke. Fred Manwaring was the high scoring star, winning the 50 free and placing fourth in the 50- yard breast. Other point scorers were Patterson, second in the 50 free; Simon, third in the 50 breast; Mustain, first in the 50 back; and Alsgood, third in the 50 back. Palo Alto won both the medley relay and the four- man event. � � The 120 outfit was the only swimming team which failed to win the P.A.L. Point winners were Sheridan, second in the 50 free, second in the 50 breast, and second in the 50 back; Jungermann, third ia the 50 free; Kingham, third in the 50 breast, and fourth in the 50 back. The four-man relay team, composed of Clarke, Jungermann, Slater, and Allen, won its event. � � The 130's were also P.A.L. champions. Point gainers were McKaig, first in the 50 free and Seaton first in the 100 free; Grebmeier, first in the 100 breast; Patterson, first in diving; McNabb, second in the 100 free; Kingham, second in diving; Wiley, second in the 50 back. The four-man relay team, composed of McKaig, Mayer, Hann, and Seaton, broke the existing P.A.L. record. Most of the 130 team mem- bers will be back next year and should form a nucleus for the Varsity squad. pi ) Top Row: Crawford, Parker, Roe, McDonald, Slager, Flakier, Fraier, Second Row; Mackenzie, Wuthman, Goodwin, Park, I.

But against the Cherokees the team played listlessly and allowed Sequoia a share in the champion- ship by dropping the game. The Norsemen played their best game in the last tilt of the season against the Cal. Frosh, losing to this fine team by only one point. Star players on the team were Captain Crawford, Parker, Holmes, J. Wilson, Sheridan, J. Man waring, Roe, Seaton, Kingham, L. Wilson, Stager, Goodwin, and Mayer. WITH many veterans returning, Coach Fraser was able to mold a team which tied with Sequoia for the P. A.

TENNIS THIS year's tennis team was the first in several years to fail to win the P.A.L. cham- pionship. Last year's graduation wreck- age left very little material for the team. Three practice matches were played and lost to Bellarmine, Menlo Junior College and Menlo High School. The Vikings were able to beat only Sequoia in league competition. Jim Stone captured the only Palo Alto victory in the South San Francisco match, and all the other defeats were shut- outs with the Norsemen failing to win a single match. Delmer T. Israel was the coach of this team, and the players were as follows: First, Hugh Lumbard; second, Bob Minor; third, Jim Stone; fourth, A1 Mortensen; fifth, Louis Brett; sixth, Weeks; seventh, Bill Downing; eighth, Boardman Moore. Many of the higher ranking players will be back next year and the indications are that there will be a strong team ready to take the courts in P.A.L. competition. A1 Mortensen will probably be number one man next season. Much credit is due to Coach Delmer T. Israel for developing the players, and to Hugh Lumbard for good management. P.A.L. Scores P.A.

The seniors, with Betty May Blois as captain and Jerry Mecabe as manager, realized the ambition of all senior teams, that of winning the hockey championship, which they wrested from a very threatening junior team under the leadership of Maxine Moulden as captain and Wealthy Falk as manager. The two freshman teams, under the captain- ship of Betty Sheridan and Phyllis Oeschger and with Laura Higginson and Alice Moffit as managers, were also unusually good this year, while the sophomores, headed by Willa Westfall and Dorothy Mears as captains and Alma Prior and Marjorie Jones as managers, suffered the most defeats. � � Several sportsdays were held during the season. Palo Alto Viqueens were hostesses to Campbell, San Jose, and Los Gatos on one occasion and to Sequoia on another. � � � The head of hockey, Nancy Osborne, together with the captains and managers of the various teams, chose the all-stars for hockey. Girls so honored were Laura Higginson of the freshman team, Alma Prior of the sophomore team, Madge Davis of the junior team, and Kay Gross, Jerry Mecabe, Nancy Osborne, Frances Silvey, Lorraine Wheeler, Betty May Blois, and Ruth Younkin of the championship senior team. ef75) - MADRONO! 1 Top Row: Moulden, Prior, Mean, Clark, J.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL AS usual, basketball, with Virginia Chapman as head this year, was the most popular sport of the school year. The six first teams were the Senior A, Junior A, Junior B, Sophomore A, Freshman A, and the Mixed Team which was made up of juniors and seniors who could not report for practice seventh period. The Senior A and Junior A, both having won all their games, were contenders for the championship. The Big Game between these two teams was not a close one, as the seniors predominated all the way and had a twelve-point lead when the final whistle was blown. Mary Lee was the able captain of the senior play- ers; the juniors were led by Hope Duveneck. The sophomores, cap- tained by Patty Sherwood, had good material, but they were handi- capped by sickness and were unable to give much competition. The freshmen, led by Betty Berryman, had very excellent offensive material, and showed promise of becoming very good players when they have had a little more experience. The All-Stars were as follows: Forwards, Frances Silvey, Anne Oeschgar, and Dorothy Moller; centers, Jerry Mecabe, Phyllis Oeschgar, and Kay Gross; guards, Evelyn Webb, Nancy Osborne, and Barbara Clark. - 4 76 ) -- Cn CD CO Top Row: LeBlanc, Nystrorr, McDonald, Borland, N.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL BECAUSE of the large number of girls reporting for basketball, and be- cause of the fact that it seemed desirable to have the teams of poorer playing ability compete against each other rather than against teams of greater ability, a second team schedule was arranged. The freshman and sophomore teams making up the schedule were known as the Blue Streaks, Humdingers, Live Wires, Sure Shooters, Daredevils, Whippits, and Bruins. The captains of these teams were Myfanwy Hughes, Betty Tomson, Wilma Arjo, Clara Nystrom, Esther Weltzin, Lettie Hooker, and Doris Pogue, respectively. When the Bruins, champions of the sopho- mores, played the Blue Streaks, champions of the freshmen, the latter team had the winning score at the end of the game. One of the reasons for this outcome may have been that the Bruins, like the sophomore A's, were handicapped by flu. This year's was the most successful second team schedule ever played. Probably this was due to the fact that they played in a separate schedule, not playing any first teams except in the try-outs. Also, the champions were given additional points, which helped maintain the interest of the girls. The second team schedule is worthy of continuation for its benefts. MADRONO!

GIRLS’ SWIMMING SINCE the new seventh period plan has been put into effect, many stu- dents, especially juniors and seniors, have been unable to participate in swimming practices during seventh period because of conflicting activities. Therefore, the girls' swimming turnout for the juniors and seniors was exceptionally low, a situation which caused the two classes to combine to form one team. Kay Seaton was elected captain of this team and Kay Mills manager. The strong sophomore team was captained by Minnie Koehurst and managed by Caroline Volkardt, while the captain and manager of the freshman team were Margery Hunt and Margaret Rankin, respectively. � � � The combined junior and senior team won all the meets in which they participated except one with the sophomores, whom they later beat, however, in the finals. With this record, the upperclass swimmers were entitled to the championship. However, they lost their right to the title when they combined, and so no championship was given. � � � At the end of the fall season the captains and managers of the class teams selected the following group of outstanding swimmers to be named all-stars: Kay Seaton, Mildred Moore, Betty Berryman, Patty Sherwood, and Evelyn Webb. Many good lower-class swimmers will come back next year. - ?( 78 CJ1 CO CD ■MADRONO Back Row: Dillingham, Schilling, Mears, Prior, N. Morris, Newell, Sherwood, Dorn.

SPEEDBALL FOR the first time in the history of this school, speedball was made an after school sport. The turn-out was good in all classes except the senior. Only five of the latter came out, and so Jerry Mecabe joined the junior team, and Betty May Blois, Kay Gross, Nancy Osborne, and Lorraine Wheeler joined the second freshman team to form the frosh-senior team. � � The junior team won the championship from the sophomores in a closely contested game with the final score 2-0. The freshmen had a very good team, and, although they offered excellent competition, they were able to beat only the frosh-senior team. The captains and managers were as follows: Juniors, Helen Butts and Peggy Calder- wood; sophomores, Jessie Newell and Ada Fern Chapin; freshmen, Patsy Clark and Kay Ermey; freshmen-senior, Marjorie Barkley and Valerie Jones. Lorraine Wheeler was the head of this sport. At the meeting of the captains and managers the following All-Stars were chosen: Forwards, Kay Gross, Mildred Moore, Nancy Osborne, Betty Berryman, Patty Sherwood, Maxine Moulden, and Phyllis Oeschger; halfbacks and fullbacks, Lorraine Wheeler, Ada Fern Chapin, Alma Prior, and Helen Dupree; guards, Joan Appleton, Mary Frances Baird, Helen Butts, and Jerry Mecabe. - 4 79 Top Row: Miss Hartley, Sivertsen, Stanley, B.

The sophomores and the Freshman A had a very closely contested season, and they finished with a tie score of 148 points- Not far behind the equally scored teams were the Freshman B with a hard fought for 141 points. � � About forty-two girls reported for volleyball this year for a most successful season. The captains and managers of the teams were as follows: Seniors, Helen Dahl and Dorothy Rogers; juniors, Isabel Stanley and Barbara Norberg; sophomores, Christina Borland and Marian Jones; freshmen, Betty MacGregor, Jerry McDonald and Frances Ellet. � � Be- sides class games several sports days were held with the different schools on the Peninsula. Irene Robertson, as head of volleyball, de- serves noteworthy mention for managing the games and sports days so well. � At the volleyball sports supper, the following girls were given All-Star honors: Mary Lee, Frances Silvey, Evelyn Webb, Ruth Younkin. Dorothy Moller, Isabel Stanley, Hazel Benson, Patricia Ryan, and Wilma Arjo.
