MADRONO V I V PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS PALO ALTO HIGH SCHOOL — PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA JUNE, 1936 FORWARD Ideally, the spirit of our school life is progressive. We are continually striving to perfect ourselves, both in body and mind, the better to adapt ourselves to the times in which we live. Everywhere the old and the unpractical are being replaced. Inefficiency and waste are no longer tolerated. It is a high standard that is being set for this generation of ours, and that is the purpose for which we are being educated: to achieve—as nearly as it is possible for the individual—this goal. We have worked with that idea in mind, and it is our hope that through the pictures and records of activities you may understand and ap- preciate our efforts and achievements here at school. IN ADMIRATION OF GEORGE STERLING STEWART and in grateful recognition of his services to the Student Body of Palo Alto High School, the Seniors of 1936 dedicate their Madrono to him. N MEMORIAM WALTER H. NICHOLS A noted author, philisopher and teacher, Mr. Nichols was principal of our high school for many years. A true friend to all, his untiring efforts and fine spirit of co-operation were an inspiration to both the faculty and student body. JAMES R. GRINSTEAD Mr. Grinstead was one of the best liked members of our high school faculty. A teacher of chemistry, physics, and mathematics, he was honored and loved alike by all who knew him.................... MARION KOEHORST Campanile Tower CONTENT SENIOR ORGANIZATION ACADEMIC ACTIVITY ATHLETIC SENIOR In TRANSPORTATION, an absorbing field of endeavor, the past few years have witnessed many spectacular developments. We here in California are most aware of that feat in aeronautics, the flight of the famed China Clipper. Equally valuable are the tremendous liners just recently completed, the Normandie and the Queen Mary. Now streamlined to the last degree, trains and automobiles provide safe and fast transportation for everyone. SENIOR CLASS With four eventful years behind them, the Seniors can truly feel that their time in Palo Alto High has been well spent. Having suffer- ed through the earthquake con- struction, they had the advantages of well arranged offices and the re- designed auditorium. Many are John Hogan John Breeden the activities in which they have participated, and much have they contributed to the school. The able and efficient officers were John Hogan, president; John Breeden, vice-president; Charlotte Dengler, secretary; and Sammy Sheridan, court custodian.

MID-YEAR SENIORS ORGANIZATION Although having a hard struggle against the deep-rooted conventionalities, modern theory of BUILDING is coming into its own. At first a little puzzled by the grotesque structures of glass and steel, we are beginning to be aware of the possibilities of scientifically arranged homes where such matters as the greatest percentage of light and air and the least possible noise and waste will be prime necessities. Our many expositions have done much to introduce and foster an appreciation for this architectural advancement. FACULTY Administration: George S.

[18] BOYS' LEAGUE Commissioner Wade Miles, auto- matically president of the Boys’ League, provided interesting speakers. Especially well received were the movies of the Stanford Southern Methodist Rose Bowl Game, brought from Stanford’s B. A. C. The Boys’ Stunt Show, an- nual effort of the League, was suc- cessful this year, both financially and as an entertainment. Over one hundred and twenty-five dollars was cleared. The Stunt Show this year had a variety show for its theme, thus not limiting itself to certain types of stunts. Skits were given by boys’ organizations— Block P, Minor Letter—and var- ious individuals and groups. Two masters of ceremonies, Jerry Em- ory and Harvey Clarke, were very well received. Hod Ray, faculty adviser, and Wade Miles directed the show. Wcdc Miles Gob Thom son Howard Ray GIRLS' LEAGUE Sponsoring its usual functions, which consist of the Girls’ Jinx, the Mothers’ Tea, and the Christ- mas charity, the Girls’ League had a successful year under the leader- ship of JeanYuill, Commissioner of Girls’ Activities. The Jinx, which had for its theme “A Trip Around the World,” was well re- ceived and was successful finan- cially. The proceeds are used for the scholarship given each year by the League. The Mothers’ Tea, with many girls helping, turned out well. The cabinet members are Polly Brett, social service; Patty Sherwood, clubroom hostess; Doris Gear, big sisters; Hope Duveneck, entertainment; Mildred Moore, G. A.

Its duty is to hold trials to establish the guilt or in- nocence of any student suspect- ed of not acting for the best in- terests of the student body. Many cases were tried during the year, the Court doing much to help solve the disciplinary prob- lems that confront the school. Members who upheld well the re- sponsibilities of their offices were Harvey Clarke, first term chair- man; Mary Alice Tomson, first term secretary; Jack Decius, sec- ond term chairman; Julie Neff, sec- ond term secretary; Dave Mann- ing; Donald Reynolds; Fred Bak- er. Mr. Shippy served as the facul- ty adviser and aided the court in making its fair decisions. MINOR LETTER SOCIETY The Minor Letter Society has this year upheld its name as an honor- ary group for those in minor sports. The duties of Ray Muir, president, were taken over by Ed Neikirk when Muir became a member of the Block P. A part in the Boys Stunt Show and a trip to Yosemite with the Block P have been their main activities. [20] POINT AWARD COMMITTFF: M. A. Tnmson, Doris Willi, Kent Hansen, Boh Stone, Gilhert Quinhy, Mrs. MrCnlly CO-OPERATORS; Ernie WuthmEti, Mr. Mclnnia, Otto Wideman, James Craw.'ord, Bob Love POINT AWARD After editorial and Pro and Con criticism in the “Campanile’’ and suggestions from faculty members and student body, the point award system was entirely changed. Fac- ulty advisers of activities fill out cards giving credit to pupils for their silver seal award, given to seniors who have acquired 1000 points. Members of board are M. A. Tomson, K. Hansen, R. Stone, D. Willi, and G. Quinby. CO-OP The Co-op continued its record as one of the most financially sound organizations in school. Under the management of Ernie Wuthman, it made enough profit to give the school a new diving board. The Co-op stocks pupils’ demands, yet does not compete with downtown merchants. Clerks are Otto Wide- man, Bob Love, and James Craw- ford. Faculty adviser is WJlliam C. Mclnnis. [21] B. A. C. G. A. A. The minor letter system, toy of the Board of Athletic Control, was again completely revised. As it now stands, six inch block letters are awarded all boys who fulfill requirements in minor sports. No numerals are on the letters. The yell leaders and managers have identifying symbols on the letters. Through all the changes in the minor letters, the major blocks re- main unchanged. This year the B. A. C. awarded the 120 basketball teams their letters. This is the first team in four years to receive this honor of winning the majority of its games. David MacKenzie, able Commissioner of Boys’ Athletics and automatically president of the B. A. C., handled this organization efficiently. Faculty adviser How- ard C. Ray also managed to keep the various branches of sports in harmony. TOP ROW: Ray, BolicH, Burke, Muir, MacKenzie. SECOND ROW; Wuthmzn, Holmes, Thompson, Ar.derson, Miles.

The Sports Days, held at schools in the Girls’ Peninsula Athletic League, were climaxed by a superday at Palo Alto on May 9. Over fifty girls were present. The G. A. A. chang- ed the number of points required for a Block P from 400 to 800. When a girl receives 400 she wins class numerals. Mildred Moore, president by right of being Com- missioner of Girls’ Athletics, led the G. A. A. through the year. Much praise goes to the executive board, consisting of Virginia Chapman, Margaret Calderwood, Madge Davis, Patty Sherwood, Hope Duveneck, Irene Robert- son, Alma Prior, Jean Pogue, Helen Butts, Anne Clark, Arline Bishop, and Miss Collins.

GIRLS’ BLOCK P The Girls Block P Society con- fined its activities this year to purely social functions. Initia- tions, a scavenger hunt, a “pot- luck” supper were included in the program. Arline Bishop, president, and Helen Butts, secre- tary, made the yar a success. Miss Collins sponsors this group. [23] 1. The Shed, 2. Subway Construction, 3. Hod, 4. Feet First, 5.

[24] FRESHMEN [27] ACADEMIC Latest brainchild of progress — COMMUNICATION is now one of the most vital parts of our civilization. No house is complete without its telephone. Daily we receive the benefits of the world-wide Postal Service, a perfect organi- zation of its kind. Cables and wireless circle the globe, and we span the miles for our amusement by flicking a button on our radio. Television is rapidly becoming a practical possibility, and third-demensional moving pictures are emerging from the experimental stage.................... Martha Judjon Ruth Preston Louise Heatwole OFFICE Howard Ray George S. Stewart Leona McCulIy and Clark Cypher The offices are very well organized this year after the reconstruction of the buildings. Here is all the mysterious clock-work that makes the school run smoothly, from the ringing of the bells, to the mimeo- graphing of the test papers. Miss Judson sits behind the desk in the attendance office, issuing passes and taking charge of all the atten- ti� ] dance. Mrs. Matteson, the secre- tary, does practically anything— orders supplies, takes care of bills, and supervises six students who get practical office experience by helping her. Mr. Stewart takes care of the discipline and advises the students or parents. In the counselors’ office the students are helped to adjust their programs. The plan introduced this year of leaving the library as a place for reference and special work only has proved successful. LIBRARY SCIENCE The modern method of teaching used in the science department is based on the pupils’ interest in the course. . [30] WOOD WORK By constructing in wood, an un- derstanding of the principles of carpentry and cabinet making is gained. Many articles of true worth are made. In the well-equipped “shop” the boys learn the structure of machines—how and why they run, and how to put them to- gether and take them apart. AUTO MECHANICS I 1. Mr. Moody—Mechanical Drawing, 2.

The most outstanding change in the girls’ gymnasium department was the introduction of badmin- ton as an indoor sport. GIRLS' GYMNASIUM [ ] ACTIVITY Probably the single factor to which he owes most, and the importance of which the average man is unaware, is the vast realm of SCIENCE. Science, truly the keystone of pro- gress, is responsible for the discoveries upon which are based all developments, regardless of field. Of immense im- portance scientifically, work is going ahead on the giant telescope to be set up on Palomar Mountain in the south of our state. Due to the ethics of many of its divisions, es- pecially medicine, men who by right of their discoveries should be heroes have passed unnoticed. We are tre- mendously indebted to the self-sacrificing men who have devoted their lives in this service............................... 1. The Ed., 2. Freddy, 3. Photographs, 4. “George,” 5.

QUILL and SCROLL The Quill and Scroll, the national honor society for those with special ability in any of the numer- ous fields of creative writing, though not a very active organiza- tion, still has a good membership, many being admitted this year. Jean Tickell was an efficient presi- dent. Mr. Roberts was faculty adviser to the group. Thcapiana THESPIAN CLUB Early in October, the Thespian Club started the year off with the reading of A. A. Milne’s “The Romantic Age.” Later they also read “Two Crooks and a Lady,” by Eugene Pillot. This year the one-act plays, which are presented each fall, were “Wisdom Teeth,” “It’s a Gift,” and “Nor Quite Such a Goose.” The Thespian Club’s annual Christmas gift to the school was the play “Sounding Brass,” writ- ten by Dorothy Nichols, the daughter of our late principal. The biggest production of the year a- side from the three-act was that of Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors in the streamlined version. This was accompanied by a 1. Impudence, 2. Honorable President and Secretary, 3- “Dulcy'1—Informally Shakespearian pageant. For the set, a stage of Shakespeare’s day was ably reproduced by the stage crew. The three-act play which rounded up the year’s activities was Kaufman and Connelly’s farce “Dulcy.” The officers of the club were Lloyd Wfilson, presi- dent; Lynn Grisell, vice-president; Mollie West, secretary-treasurer. Miss Preston is adviser. [40] DULCY” Concluding one of its most suc- cessful years, Thespian Club pro- duced their annual three-act play early in March. The play was a modern comedy entitled “Dulcy,” by George Kaufman and Marc Connelly. The plot concerned a loveable but childish wife, Dulcy, who insists in meddling with her husband’s business affairs. When Stars of “Dulcy” her husband’s future business ac- complice arrives to spend the night, bringing his wife and daugh- Angela, Dulcy sees fit to arrange a marriage between Angela and a young scenarist. Complications of course, arise. Jean Scott played an inimitable Dulcy, and Jack Decius as the harassed husband was es- pecially good. Hugh Lombard as C. Rogers Forbes, the business man, was excellent. Others of the cast were as follows: Beth Doty as Mrs. Forbes; Barbara Skelton as Angela Forbes; Ernest Wuth- man as Schuyler Van Dyke; Wally Kemper as Tom Sterrett; Bob Kellogg as Vincent Leach, the scenarist; Lloyd Wilson as Blair Patterson; and Adolph Erickson as Henry, the butler. The set was unusually effective, a modern interior constructed by the stage crew. 5 “DULCY: TOP ROW: Erickson, Wuthman, Wilson, Lombard u Kemper, Decius, Patterson, Kellogg.

Linder Mr. Josephson, many worthwhile readings were given and one-act plays were staged. The Movie Club, under Miss McCausland’s supervision, was founded to promote interest in movies and their production. The club eventually expects to produce their own movies. The season was successful, members hearing talks on photography and production. GIRLS' JINX BOYS' STUNT SHOW The theme of the annual Girls’ Jinx, “A Trip Around the World,” provided an excellent variety of stunts. In Lilliput Land” the au- dience enjoyed the clever antics of the little people. Most effective was the Girls’ Glee Club Stunt; they were dressed as Hindu girls and sang several songs. Solo dances by Alta Bell and Shizu Takuchi were very attractive, while Changing Guards” brought out the British in us in song and dance. The juniors gave a peep in- to the future of the Quints. The Jinx was under the direction of Miss Preston; Barbara Clark and Charlotte Dengler managed the technical side of the show; and Jean Yuill supervised. Featuring many different skits, the annual Boys’ Stunt Show built it- self up to a climax when Verne Freeman brought down the house singing popular tunes. Other high spots of the evening were Wdlly Kemper’s crooning and Sammy Sheridan and Bill Curtis as the Mad Magician and his helper. As masters of ceremony Jerry Emory and Harvey Clarke outdid them- selves. Some juniors presented a pantomine entitled ‘And the Lamp Went Out.” Lee Rodger’s twelve piece orchestra provided an ex- cellent background for many fine stunts and also played several intermission numbers. The show was directed by Coach Hod Ray and Wade Miles. JINX: 1. Clark 8l Dengler, 2. “Top Hat,” 3. “The Guards.” STUNT SHOW: 4. Tumble! 5. Master ol Ceremonies, 6. Another One, 7.

The Vision CREW MEMBERS: Anderson, Erickson, Hogan, Crawford, Grisell, Downing, Dikes, Thoit9, Mills STAGE CREW One of the most essential factors in producing a good play is the stage set. Without the proper background the most superior act- ing would seem uninteresting. The thankless job of making the “set” falls to the stage and light crews. With the new switchboard in the auditorium, Waldron Wilson and his light crew were able to add greatly to the sets ably erected un- der the supervision of Lynn Gri- sell. One of the outstanding feats of the crew this year was the ceil- ing in the three-act play “Dulcy.” Weeks before each play, the crew has started working on the set so as to make the production more en- joyable to the audience. [44] A Capella Participates in the impressive Christmas Pcgeant A CAPPELLA CHOIR The Choir, with a membership of sixty enthusiastic students, under the direction of Mrs. Ketman, in- cluded in its appearances pro- grams with the Christmas Pageant of the local Childrens’ Theatre, presentations to our student body and those of other schools, and took a prominent part in the choir festival in San Jose. Mrs. Ketman Philomusia Choristers PHILOMUSIA Philomusia, continuing the work of the former Girls’ Glee Club, was ably directed by Mrs. Ket- man. They have produced fine work, of which their appearance in the Girls’ Jinx was outstanding. Supervised by Betty Pleasant, president, Anne Clark and Doro- thea Campbell as assisting officers, the annual dance was given. [4t] Band on Par.-dr—May Day BAND 1. Close Harmony, 2. B.-ss Bunglers, 3. Tromboners This year the many performan- ces of the hiqh school band have been a series of colorful pro- grams. With a membership of forty-five students, the senior band has entered new fields with a zest that has been a boon to our school spirit. They have been faithful contributors of rhythm at our football games and rallies. By active parts in both the Armistice Day Parade and the Christmas Parade, our school band has be- come well known and liked by the citizens of Palo Alto. To add to their presentations of the year, there was also the joint concert with the school orchestra in our auditorium. With a large crowd to greet the first appearance of this kind, the band made a very fine showing. To top off a successful year, the band appeared in the spring May Day Festival parade, presenting a colorful picture in their red and green uniforms. Ernest P. Alwyn has been leader and instructor of the band and has always produced the very best in music. Perhaps the success of this year’s many appearances has been due in part to the new sound-proof quarters, which do much to help in the production of finer music. [46] Solo Duct Music Master Sour Notes ORCHESTRA Under the able supervision of Ernest P. Alwyn, the Palo Alto High School orchestra has shown marked progress this year. Among their presentations have been a part in the American Legion Armistice Day program, a special combined program with the high school band in our auditorium, and several appearances before orchestra, this year there has been formed the Symphony Ban- chestra, which is a group of twenty-one students from both of these instrumental groups. Their appearances have been welcomed as something new and very worth- while. The public heard their work in a concert at the Community Theatre in April and again on the Education Week program. It is hoped that this new group will be able to go far in future years after their fine start. Orchestra in the New Music Room the student body.

[U] One DEWEY morning as I was going out the DORR-IT seemed to me I heard MALM calling. I went back down the HALL, and she said, “Johnny, cut the lawn, and I BETT-Y didn’t MAJOR bed, so YUILL have to do the DECIUS and dust the FERN-iture.” After I had finished my work, I jumped into my CARR, PREST- ON the starter, shifted the GEAR, and gave her the GUNN. I stop- ped at the gas station and said, “PHYLLIS up.” Then I went BOLTON down the street in McLEOD of dust. When I GOTTEN-BERGStown I saw something DENGLERing from a tree on the HILL. I had heard of familiarity BREEDEN contempt; so I KREPS-oftly up. (KENT you just see me?) Well, it was a WERRY, WERRY, SMALL, BROWN BELL. I am not sure as to the kind of tree, but I CALD- ERWOOD redWOOD. How- ever, WEST is WESTON east is east, and a ROLAND STONE gathers no moss; so on again. As we turned down HAMILTON Ave., my friend shouted, “There’s my uncle, the BARBER.” “WHITMAN? I asked. “The MANWARING the BROWN suit ORR the BALDWIN?” “Neither,” replied he, GIFFIN me the AYERS;“the HANSEN one.” STOREY “He SHIRLEY’S got a terrible disposition,” I thought, as I sang to my-SELF, “HOLMES, Sweet HOLMES.” He must have caught my subtle sarcasm, for he offered to buy me a NICKEL cup of COFFEY. By this time as the RAYS of the SUND were so hot we were near- ly MELTON, we decided to SCOTT around a little MOORE and then go home. Since it was such a PLEASANT DAY, we rode out to see the GREEN- FIELDS and SILVER BROOKS. We CROSSed a bridge and thought it would be fun to W ADE MILES up stream. The creek was FULLER FISH-ER something, but we had no HOOKER ENGLEworms to fish with, ANAYA know how hard it is to fish without them. We sat down for a HAMM-OND egg lunch on a NOL-AN then I pulled out my DECK-ER CARDs and we had a little game. Later we wandered down the LANE, and suddenly a RUTHless FOX appeared. Hav- ing no great LOVE for the animal, and being faced with such STARK tragedy as getting EATON alive, we jumped into the CARR, and as we sped off my friend sighed, “Well, ALSGOOD that ends good.” SCHOOL SNAPS 1.

To that country travel men and women from all over the world, counting among their number experts in every field of physical achievement. Behind the facility with which they distin- guish themselves lie years of conscious effort, continual striving for perfect form and co-ordination, working with a fine devotion to their sport. The United States sends over many teams to do their part in world competition. TEAM: TOP ROW: Tinney (Asst. Co2ch), Hansen, Norberg, Bolich, C. Anderson, Muir, Quinn, B.

The Paly boys won, as prophecied, after a fine display of aerial work in the second half. In their next en- counter the boys lost their second game, in as many years, to Burlin- game’s Panthers who proved to be just a little too strong. The annual tussle with Sequoia ended with the FOOTBALL Cherokees on the long end of the score. Sequoia seemed to be favor- ed with all of the breaks, while Palo Alto had tough luck all of the way. Although they played their best game of their season, the Red and Green dropped a heart-break- ing 6-0 decision to San Jose. The Bulldogs won on a freak play in the last two minutes of play. This concluded the P. A. L. season. Vincent Ostrom, Paly’s watch- charm guard, was the only local player to win P. A. L. honors, al- though John Hogan, tackle, and ’’Pete” Bolich, captain and end, made the second team. Other out- standing players for the Vikings were Ed. Croster, halfback; Bill Anderson, quarterback; Bob Thompson, center; and Hank” Norberg, end. FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL The first team to earn their letters in Freshman-Sophomore football: that was the achievement attained by the team for 1935. They finish- ed high in league standings, win- ning three games and losing one, to end in second place. Plenty of good material from this fine team should strengthen the 1936 varsity squad.
