Palo Alto High School - Madrono Yearbook (Palo Alto, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 98 of the 1937 volume:

Ill fl [I FI II II 0 mflOROIlO 193 7 PulUulted Ltf, the Senior GlaAA, Palo- Alte e fufA School Pale Alie, Galifcnstia f 0 « f III 0 R D It seems entirely fitting that our yearbook is called the “Madrono 1 The mad rone is a large tree native to the costal region of the western United States. It grows to great heights, with wide branches arranged in symmetry about a trunk of substantial wood. Our yearbook reflects the manner in which our individual and collective interests cluster about the trunk of our high school life and purpose. Seasonally the tree produces white flowers in dense clusters. The “Madrono'1 represents the blossoming season for our high school and like the seasonal flower of the tree is both a promise and a fulfillment. May this book now and in the years ahead renew your individual attachment to the Palo Alto High School, its faculty, and its students. Ivan H. Linder, Principal Our sincere appreciation of his invaluable help is extended by the Senior Class in dedicating the 1937 “Madrono” to a wise counselor and a true friend—Clark Cypher. 3n fUcmoriam MEROLD OLSON CHARLES BURNS ARNOLD COKELY BOOH 1 iZesUosil ’Tis education forms the common mind; Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined.” Pope i Don Reynolds Publication� pal� Senior Court Stony A horn? hie It 4 nut of greeting Senior Court step� Clau «irficer� in action s £ n i o fi s Each year there is graduated from Palo Alto High School a group of students, some bewildered, some reluctant, some expectant, but each one regretful that his high school days are over. Looking forward, as freshmen, the time to graduation seemed an eternity; but looking backward, as the graduating class, the space diminishes until it seems but a brief and pleasant interval. As we remember the past four years, we realise how very much Paly High has meant to us. To all those who will some day graduate from our Alma Mater, we, the Class of ’37, leave a school outstanding in activb ties, rich in friendships, and unparalleled in faculty. s t n i o a David Alsgood Claude Anderson Dorothy Appleby Walter Atkinson, Jr. Winifred Atkinson Stephen Ayres Dorothy Bacher Milton Baker Barbara Bell Barry Binns Christina Borland Henry Bortner Peter Bowers Lewis Brett Clarence Brooks Ann Brown Eileen Brown Wilna Brown Jeanne Brunson Betty Cain Elmer Campbell Robert Card Ray Carr Sam Carson George Cary Ada Cha pin Robert Chase Mary Chorack Meriam Clough George Clark CLASS James Crawford William Curtis Everett Davis Leland Day John Decius Frances Dekker Virginia Denmark Betty Derrick Robert Dixon Jean Dorn Evelyn Downey John Downing Jean Dysinger Martha Ellet Victor England Jeanne Evans Shirley Ewing Donald Faris Glenn Farrell James Field Warren Fischer Patrick Fogarty Tom Forbes Constance Fout Ruth Fowler Leif Frandsen Grace Friedman Katsuto Fujinari Natsuko Fujinari Yasuo Fujinari S £ (1 I 0 fi Mary Esther Fuller William Gester Marguerite Giffin Albert Granucci Rolf Grebmelr Howard Greenfield Georqe Hackley Lauretta Hallum John Hancock Berthe Harris Glenn Herreman Mary Hirabayashi Virginia Hobbs Lettie Hooker Stewart Hoover Helen May Howe Katherine Hughes Loretta Jacobsen Edward Jennings Thomas Jew William Johnston Gerald Jones Verna Kaukonen Price Keeler Dorothy Kingsley Estalyn Kreps Evelyn Lassiter Robert Lawrence Harriet Leon Sally Lightle CLASS Frank Livermore Richard Lober Robert Love Eugenie Lowrey Allene McClain Norma McDill Duncan McLeod Elsa McMurphy Virginia Magnussen Betty Jane Major Richard Matteson George Mayer Dorothy Mears Ann Mellor Margaret Mellor Laurence Melton Theodora Mercier James Meredith Donald Mertens Beverly Miller Etiennette Miller Boardman Moore Gladys Moore Norma Morris Viola Morris Albert Mortensen Robert Mosher Jean Moyers Wilma Neff Hilmer Nelson S f II I II R a it Mary Nickel Walter Nickel Dorothy Nichols Charles Niebel Edward Nielsen Barbara Norberg Ann Oeschger Sada Okazawa Edith Oscarson Ronald Paterson Lola Pattison Jean Pearch Robert Peckh am Marion Perkut Joseph Perry Harriet Piersol Doris Pogue Melvyn Pratt Rose Prebisalich Alma Prior Winifred Ratliff Aubrey Raymond James Reichel William Reilly Donald Reynolds Kurt Richter Edith Riley William Roberts Alice Robertson William Roth CLASS Oliver Saunders Alice Schindelar Raymond Schumann Philip Sevilla Patricia Sherwood Charles Shores Jean Show Dorrit Sibley Helen Silva Robert Silverthorn Carroll Simon Robert Sivertsen Woodson Slater Betty Slingluff Stuart Smith Kenneth Smith Raymond Smith Charles Stager Ethel Stekoll Betty Stanley Lucile Stewart Robert Stone John Storey Robert Stroud David Thompson Lucille Umbreit Oliver Upton Albert Vandervoort Carlos Vides Barbara Vogt S E fl I 0 R Caroline Volkhardt Kelly Voorhees June Waldron Hallie Warren Arthur Weeks William Weisheimer Esther Weltzin Donald Westall Willa Westfall Helen Weston George Whisler Stanley Widasky Doris Willi Robert Williams Edward Willson Don Wilson Betty Winterburn Robert Yancey Emily Yoshida Shizuko Takeuchi Robert Zink OTHERS GRRDURTIflG ROBERT BLACK WILBUR BOLTON THOMAS DILL ROGER GRADY MARGERY GREENLAW LOUISE LEE MYRTLE McCORMICK JEAN McHUGO TOSH I MATSU NAGA JAMES MILLER RAYMOND NEWMAN CARL REITERMAN CARO RANDOLPR FRANCES RANDOLPH TERRELL SHORES SYLVIA SMITH FRANK THOMMEN JOHN WALKER CLASS Joan Appleton John Banham Robert Bradford Helen Butts Maurice Delyon Katherine Gerlough Ethel Lightbody David Manning Joe Mock Joseph Moore Gladys Olsen Ted Prows Harold Reeves Philip Grimes William Self Ori I la Thompson Edmund Zwierlein Not altogether unknown, the class of 19361 2 left behind an enviable record for a mid-year graduating class, numbering among its members not only the usual run of brilliant pupils, but also popular and athletic students However, despite this fact, there was neither a gold nor a silver seal on the diplomas given to the graduates. Mr. Ivan Linder, wishing the departing class luck in the cold, grasping world they were about to enter, delivered his first commencement oration as principal of this high school. Jack Ban' ham as president and Helen Butts as secretary, with the assistance of Miss McCausland, executed well their comparatively small duties, as the midyear class has few traditions to fulfill.

POIfll fllllflRD - STUD£ 11T COURT Fewer cases came before the Student Court this year than ever before, bearing out the principle on which it was founded—that it would diminish student offenses. None of the cases tried were of a serious nature but con' sisted of rowdyism, speeding, and smoking on the school grounds. Those who served on the court are Don Reynolds (first semester chairman), Susan Atkinson (secretary), Bill Roth (second semester chairman), Dun- can McLeod, and Bill Johnston. In the second semester Henry Norberg and Miles Metzger replaced Don Reynolds and Bill Johnston, whose terms had expired at that time. Mr. Shippy, as faculty adviser, performed his duties beyond reproof. Working under the handicap of being continually moved from one office to another, the Point Award Committee, under the direction of Mrs. Leona H. McCully, faculty adviser, has indeed done admirably. Those who have kept the points in order so successfully the past year were Doris Willi, chair' man; Susan Norris, secretary; Ben Olson, Betty Tomson, and Louis Brett. The point award was originally established as a means of encouraging all pupils to take part in extra-curricular activities, and to serve as a medium for recognition of leadership, responsibility, service, and citizenship. David Patterson Shirley Ewing Wesley Hillendahl SCHOLARSHIP S 0 CI £ T y Diversified social activities and the attending of numerous scholastic con' vent ions summarise the year’s activity for Palo Alto’s Chapter Three of the California Scholarship Federation. The first social event of the year, en- joyed by a large representation of this group, was a theatre party, after which there was a 1'midnight snack” at a member’s home. In the spring, the club journeyed to Hayward, where a picnic, with the playing of games and frolicking in the woods, was held at the vice-president’s home. In the course of the year, the society was represented at three conferences. The first, featuring bus trips of the hills of Berkeley, was held across the bay at the St. Joseph’s Presentations Academy. Held within close proximity, the second convention was at Oakland Technical High School, where students visited the Clipper Base at Alameda in the afternoon. The third and last, a regional convention, was held at San Mateo. It was at this one that Don Reynolds acted as treasurer, having been elected last year at the conference held at Watsonville. The officers of the society the past year have capably filled their posts. Shirley Ewing was president, assisted by David Patterson, vice-president. Wesley Hillendahl was secretary-treasurer, with Miss Cramer acting as faculty sponsor. R. A. C. Vandervoort. Nickel, Love, Gcstcr, Stone, Slater, Rcichcl. Slater ATHLETIC COIHROL The Board of Athletic Control this year, as in the past, has not had a diversified, novel calendar in adhering to its strictly routine duties. How- ever, a new aspect of the injury fund, an accident policy with the student and the school each paying half, created some fervor among the board’s members. Its tiring, yet necessary, routine included the management of pre game rallies, the direction of the concessions, and the assigning of letter awards. In the fall, at football games, the concessions department devised a unique way to sell refreshments by circulating boys among the stands with their wares. The Girls' Athletic Association, which is open to all girls who have made fifty points in after-school sports, has not been as active this year as in the past. This organisation has met regularly to plan schedules and keep after- school sports in working order. The president was Alma Prior, Commission- er of Girls' Athletics; vice-president, Dorothy Mears; secretary, Willa Westfall. Other members of the board were Laura Higginson, Betty Berry- man, Christina Borland, Doris Pogue, Viola Morris, Norma Morris, Clara Nystrom, Patsy Clark, Patty Sherwood, and Patsy Sibley. BLOCK LLTTLR SOCIETIES The Girls’ Block P, our only feminine letter society, had an active year with both athletic business and social functions. Under a new plan this year, the awarding of Block A’s for athletic achievement was descarded, and class numerals were given instead to all except this year’s seniors. Social activities also shared as one of the spotlight activities of this organization with a snow trip to Yosemite and a city ice skating jaunt. This year the society was uiv der the leadership of Patty Sherwood, president; and Miss Collins, adviser. The Boys’ Block P activities for this year contributed both socially and administratively to the school life. With its members acting as “buttons” at strategic points in the halls, the movement of traffic to and from classes was greatly facilitated. Socially the society has held many dances, whenever there was a lull in school life, in its effort to build up the injury fund. The letter men, with Bob Slater as president, climaxed the year with their feature of a “broadway” chorus in the Boys’ Stunt Show. Faculty advised by Ned Johns, this organization was under the vice presidency of Bill Darsie, with George Whisler and Bill Roth acting sergeantat arms and secretary, respectively. CO-OP - mmol! LETTER SOCIETy The Coop, part of the movement sweeping the country, served the school well in two roles: a convenient, economical store for student supplies, and a donator to student organizations. Despite the complaints of the profit making merchants, the students’ own store turns its profit to the Scholarship Society, to the stage crew, and for the buying of consistent, generous adver tisements in the “Campanile” and the “Madrono.” Under William Carr Mclnnis, faculty adviser since the co Op was part of the Forum Club, Bob Love, manager; Jim Crawford, assistant manager; and clerks, Fred John stone and Bob Slater, it served the public well. The Minor Letter Society, an organization for the boys who have won awards in minor sports, was relieved of its duty of guarding cars, which it has so badly neglected in the last few years, by the Commission of Boys’ Activities, “catclvall” for all school problems not connected with any other office. The society, led by Bob Love, president, and Bob Fraser, faculty adviser, put on at the Boys’ Stunt Show the most novel and unique program, a satire on everything from “Byrd at the South Pole” to “Our New Track.” J U fl I 0 A CLASS SOPHOfllORE CLASS f R C S H m fl n CLASS SCHOOL HI WORK 7.

The ‘'Madrono'1 staff appreciates the work of the Colman Studios, Frank Colburn, Jr., the Tucker Printing Company, and James K. Sebree. Robert Peckham, editoHn-chief, was assisted by Duncan McLeod, Bob Williams, Boardman Moore, Stuart Smith, Lawrence Melton, Eileen Brown, Shirley Ewing, Jim Crawford, Estalyn Kreps, Norma McDill, Beverley Miller, Elsa McMurphy, Bill Johnston, Ronald Paterson, Doris Willi, Pat Sherwood, George Hackley, Jean Dorn, and Constance Fout. The staff desires to extend their thanks to Miss Montgomery for her generous aid during the first semester and to Miss Huntington for her tire' less efforts and cooperation, without which the Madrono would have been an impossibility. c a m p a n i l £ Living up to the high precedent set in past years, the “Campanile1' received first prise in the Columbia Scholastic Press contest. For the first time, the staff, consisting of Fred Manwaring, editorun'chief, Ronald Paterson, Wesley Hillendahl, Margot Seward, Joyce Glasman, Con- stance Fout, Helen May Howe, Leland Cutler, William Johnston, Rod W. Wheeler, Patsy Sibley, Jean Dorn, Beverley Nickel, Bob Williams, Mary Frances Baird, and Kay Ermey, formed what was called the advanced journalism class, with the main activity being the paper itself. Mr. Moore, faculty adviser of the paper, instructed the group. The annual edition of the “Sequamle, and the attending of three press conferences, one at Stanford and two at California, were the outstanding activities of the “Campanile during the past year. QUILL QUO SCHOLL - LIT The Quill and Scroll is an honorary international journalistic organic tion. With the slight stretching of the requirements, the membership of the club was increased from two to twenty. To be considered for membership, one must be in the upper third of one’s class scholastically and must have done outstanding writing in some publication accepted by National Head- quarters. The officers were Robert Peckham, president; and Mary Nichel, secretary, with Mr. Moore acting as faculty adviser. The Lit, the school’s creative magazine, under the editorship of Norma McDill, has retained a place as one of the school’s most popular publica- tions. Its vivid short stories, entertaning essays, and excellent poetry, written especially for the magazine by the students, explains the sell-out of its first issue in less than forty minutes. Credit is due to assistant editor and art edi- tor, Wesley Hillendahl, for his artistic arrangement of the block prints in the two issues. The first was quite appropriately dedicated to the bay bridge, while the second had natural monuments for its theme. Robert Buet- tier, as business manager, performed his work capably; and Miss Heatwole and Mr. Josephson gave their valuable assistance as faculty advisers.

The traditional Christmas gift to the school was “Little Town of Bethlehem, which with its unique lighting effects and an entire'dub cast was an outstanding performance. “Rosalie and I'll Sell the World, two of the many student-directed one-acts introduced into the club’s meetings to give more members experience, were given not only be- fore a club meeting but before the student body of the Mountain View High School. The presidency and sponsorship were in the hands of hard working Barbara Bell and persistent Miss Preston, respectively. COIIIf OUT Of THE KITCHEO” A dash of tragedy, a wide sprinkling of comedy, a chimpanzee, three sets with a southern background, and a very large competent cast were the in- gredients for a program called “Come Out of the Kitchen, that was re' ceived by an enthusiastic audience of over five hundred persons. This play by A. G. Thomas portrays the events which take place when a bankrupt southern family try to act as the household staff in their own home. Of course very amusing complications occur. In her first Thespian role, Mary Fuller did excellent work as she mastered both a southern accent and an Irish dialect. Tom Shreve, as the rich “Yankee,'' was soon entranced by her irresistible and sweet character. High comedy was supplied by Stuart Smith and George Mayer as the house boy and butler respectively. The perfor' mance was flavored with a faithful, black southern mammy portrayed by Marguerite Giffin. The rest of the cast were Howard Greenfield, Evelyn Lassiter, Jack Decius, Marjorie Hunt, Stuart Hoover, and Barbara Bell, who was president of the Thespian Club this year. The play, directed by Miss Ruth Preston, faculty adviser, brought a very successful Thespian year to aclose. Old “Tuck’’ doesn't approve Oops!

Witty, different, the 1937 edition of the Boys' Stunt Show netted the injury fund well over two hundred dollars. Long remem' bered will be the peanupselling, egg'throwing magician stunt of Sammy Sheridan. Hard to forget too will be the multiple hats of “Lucky Nickel and the pantomine of teething Woody Slater, the two masters of cere' monies. To Tom Shreve and Sammy Sheridan goes the credit for the most versatile and most successful stunt show in the annals of the high school. Isn’t it the truth?

WORK p room « m ac FOX Wftp T movit club - jumofi DRumnncs The Movie Club had many aspirations for its year's program, but the realisation of these aims was retarded by financial limitations. Their pet pro- ject, nipped in the bud by financial difficulties, was the filming of a school news reel, portraying extra-curricular activities and student social life. An other cause was the attempt to influence the Fox monoply to show pictures of literary value to the whole school for ten cents a student. This club elect' ed officers from the members of each class, with the senior officer, Ray Shumann, acting as president of the club. The Junior Dramatic Club, the “baby” of the drama clubs, boasts a mem- bership of eighty students, the largest in the two years' existance of this thespian organisation. Meeting once a month, this lower classmen's acting guild gave monologues to its membership and also on occasions to the joint meetings of the sophomores and freshmen. Its top dramatic event of the year was the giving of “White Fang, a one-act never before presented here, to an appreciative frosh-soph audience. With Miss Williams acting as faculty director, Pat Allen, president, and Laree Meek, secretary, carried out their duties efficiently. fOflum - itmiinfiTionfiL clubs An organisation designed not only for debating, but for the expression of different opinions as well, is the Forum Club. Early in the fall, the Student Union joined under the banner of the club as they were both founded on the same essential idea. The club participated in four league debates, winning one, and losing three. Nevertheless, Paly took third place in the Peninsula Debating League. Officers for the year, president Bob Peckham, vice-president Bill Johnston, secretary Dorothea Bernsdorf, and debate manager Jim Kessler, with the aid of faculty adviser Mr. Mclnnis, were instrumental in the club’s success. Established two years ago, the International Club has become increasingly popular among the Paly students. Although it has not been prominently active the past year, it presented an extremely interesting Pan American Assembly in conjunction with the Spanish Club. It was designed as a general social studies club to further international good will and understanding r through the medium of correspondence. President, Barbara Vogt; vice-presi- dent and program chairman, Melvin Pratt; and secretary-treasurer, Helen Buss, capably carried on the work of president Norma McDill, and vice- president Dorothy Nichols, presiding officers of the first semester. Mr. Cypher, as faculty adviser, gave invaluable advice and cooperation. PHILOmUSie ■ 11 CUPPULA The Philomusia Society, cramped the first semester by the absence of its regular adviser, Dorothy Ketman, did not reach its annual high gear activity. Nevertheless, its successful, popular fall formal carried out its yearly reputa' tion with its clever portray! of the dance’s nautical theme. An incidental feature, adding interest to the club, was the securing of pins for its members with its musical insignia inscribed. The feminine choir, faculty-advised the first semester by Erda Kromer and the second by Lucille Green, was led by Beverly Jean Miller, president; Jane Ketman, vice-president; and Margaret Post, secretary-treasurer. The A Cappella Choir, also hit by the absence of the director, Dorothy Ketman, was in a state of entire dissolution until the second semester when Lucille Green completely reorganised it. After grueling preparation every day after school, the choir, on May seventh, in the San Jose Choir Festival, sang with approximately ten choirs from the surrounding vicinity. Another of the second semester’s activities was the celebrating of music week by a program before the Channing School pupils. Numbering many lowerclass- men, this group anticipates in ’38 one of its most successful years. ORCHtSTfifl - BAUD The forty piece orchestra, making more public appearances than any other musical group in school, was marveled at for its symphonic orchestrations, used by only a few other schools in this state. Directed by Carol Haeske, the i orchestra was welhreceived wherever it played. Because Stanford lacks an !■ orchestra, this school’s played at the American premier of “This Side Idolatry” and was generously praised in the “Stanford Daly’s” review. Ah i ready having this feather placed in its cap, the orchestra was further applauded for sending more pieces to the State Symphony Orchestra than any other school in the state. The band, beginning its year’s career by inciting the school’s football team to victory with such pulsating tunes as “Tiger Rag,” started the sea- son with 25 pieces, but, through Director Haeske’s persuasive, dramatic appeals to the student body, the band, led by Drum Major Schumann, numbered fifty pieces at the season’s close. Not only at athletic events, but at the opening of the Embarcadero underpass, at the Armistice and May Day Programs, and at eight of its own concerts, the school band, under the able direction of Carol Haeske, won distinction and praise from students and lownsfolk alike. Ttnms - STflBt CI1EI1I -y£LL LEADERS President Lewis Brett, vice-president Hal Lamb, and secretary Milton Baker, with the aid of Mrs. Younkin as faculty adviser, have during the past year placed the tennis club among the well-known activities about school. Their main activities consisted of several successful singles and doubles tournaments.. Perhaps not one of the best-known activities, but nevertheless one of the most important organisations, is the Stage and Light Crew. The stage crew is composed of W. Thoits, P. Hogan, W. Krogh, M. Wuthmam, D. Mills, J. Downing. Light crew: W. Wilson, J. Dudfield, M. Christensen, B. Buettler, and J. Wylie. Miss McKee is faculty adviser. “Heave ho, yeah bo, let’s go, Palo Alto! In this and many others did our cheer leaders enthusiastically and competently lead us. Woody Slater was head; and Evelyn Lassiter and Connie Fout, Paly’s first girl leaders, assisted him. LflllOUAGE CLUBS Roman meetings and instructive talks by Dr. Harriman and Dr. Kaulfers of Stanford typified the gatherings of the Senatus Populusque Romanus, with the year’s being climaxed by an uproarious celebration of Rome’s 2690th birthday. Energetic Miss Clary and zealous Susan Atkinson filled the positions of sponsor and dicator, respectively. The French Club's bi-monthly meetings were characterized by songs and plays, mostly given in English because of the prevalence of freshmen among the club’s membership. Under the club’s new faculty adviser. Miss Buck. Martha Clark served as president, and Katherine Hughes, as secretary. The Spanish Club's purpose, the promotion of internationalism and the acquainting of students with the customs of the Spanish people, was well exemplified by the enlightening talks and the amusing, yet purposeful plays presented. Miss Guerrero's sponsorship and Betty Winterburn’s presidency were responsible for the club’s success. HO 111 E Economics - HIAPLIME - RADIO The Home Economics Club with its 121 members progressed at a normal rate under its dexterous supervisor, Miss Middlekauff. Two outstanding, well-remembered events of the club's calendar were the much discussed talk of Wallace Moore of the English department and the adding of the feature column in the “Campanile”—Fashionettes. The airplane club, more active than in the past year, entered its popular gas-engined planes in county wide contests. With the adversity of Lady Luck, the members received no laurels in these contests; however, Peter Bowers, president, received much publicity with his mammoth model at the May Day Festival. The radio club, sponsored by Cecil Burbank, advanced further this year than ever in its existance by purchasing with school money a two hundred watt radio transmitter, more powerful than many local long wave stations. President Don Reynolds and “Bud” Hoffman, only licensed operators, helped other members to obtain their permits. THE SCHOOL ! 7. Tuckcr-inncr 8. Watching the strutters 9. Some joke 11.

The season opener, a contest with Santa Cruz, went to Paly, 7 to 0. The Vikings also won from the Hay' ward “Farmers” in the second game. A large number of fumbles in the Salinas game cost Paly their first defeat. South San Francisco downed Palo Alto in their first P. A. L. game. The Norsemen, however, fared better in their next game, a league match with Jefferson, winning 6'0. A highly favored Burlingame team traveled down the Viking’s field pre- pared to thoroughly trounce them but after an hour’s play on a wet field, the gun went off with the score 13 to 7 in favor of the underdog Vikings. In the annual tussle the favored Sequoia team came out on top, but if it hadn’t been for “old man breaks” it might well have been an upset. The Cherokees had to fight for every point and their victory was not secure un' til the final gun. In the last game, a P. A. L. encounter with San Jose, the league champions, Paly lost, but only after threatening the powerful San Jose team with its first defeat. Co-captains during the year were Tom Shreve and A1 Vandervoort, both of whom, because of injuries, could not play the length of the season. Three men who were outstanding in the line were Don Westall, tackle; Hilmer Nelson, guard; and Miles Metzger, center. Much credit in the back-fiield should be given to Ralph Stevens, quarter-back, and Red Hawley, half-back. Pain 7.„. 10.... () RECORD Alto Opponent Santa Cruz 0 6 South City d 6 2....

The Frosh'Sophs opposed Jefferson in their first league game. The Vikings were easily victorius, 19 to 0. Crawford, 83 Krutzman, and Sargento were responsible for the •League Game Vikings’ three goals. Palo Alto lost a bitterly contest' ed game to San Mateo 6 to 0, with the winner in doubt until the last play. Both Burlingame and Half Moon Bay were victorious over the Norsemen, but the annual tilt with Sequoia resulted in a tie. In this hard'fought game Palo Alto was decidedly the aggressor. They were in scoring distance four times, and on two occasions Baldwin tried, but unsuccessfully, for a field goal. In the last game of the season the yearlings entirely upset the dope by downing the strong San Jose team on the latter's field. San Jose was leading the league at the time of the game, and this was also the first victory over San Jose since Frosh'Soph competition had been inaugurated.

Palo Alto's first league victory was chalked up when they succeeded in downing Burlingame 3?� to 20. Stone and Steers were the big guns of this game, scoring ten and eight points, respectively. The Vikings lost to Sequoia in both games and were dropped 17 to 9 by San Mateo. They easily won, however, from San Jose. The score for this latter game was 28 to 13. The 130's could easily be termed the hardduck boys, losing most of their games by narrow margins. The South City game was lost after the Vikings had led for three quarters of the game. The Burlingame, San Jose, and San Mateo games were each lost by less than five points. The second Sequoia game, however, really made the season a success. The Vikings downed the highly favored Cherokees. Much credit for the win should be given to Ritscher, Widasky, and Denmark. Wid «ltv. Love, Giinthir. Steer . Fee ley, Denmark, Hor t. John . UairJ.

In the first Sequoia tilt and the game with San Jose, the Vikings were definitely out classed; but in the South City, the San Mateo, and the second Sequoia games, the results could easily have been in the Norsemen’s favor. The lone victory was with Burlingame, in which game Paly won by the one-sided score of 30 to 9. The large score was no fluke, for the 120’s were determined to win. A tie for the league championship and the first victory over Sequoia in seven years were but two qualifiications hung up by the 110 pound basket- ball team. In the opening Sequoia game the Vikings came out on top, 17 to 16. The next three games were all victories and cinched at least a tie for the league crown, but a highly nervous team lost 11 to 6 in the second tilt with Sequoia. This gave the dimes a tie with South City for the lead position. Ymhimura, Millar. Trocdson, Marshall, Show, UmimiTED - LI6HTUIEIGH T TRACK After a highly successful dual season, the Norse unlimited trackmen won the annual Peninsula Athletic League by a substantial margin. Vikings were also responsible for two new records. Roth broke the shotput record made many years ago by Fleishacker, and Steers eclipsed his own high jump record. Two other first places were landed by the Vikings when Decius took the 440 and Norberg won the discus. Stone was right behind Roth in the shot. Other bang-up performances were handed in by Jones, Metzger, and Meredith. The team, coached by Ned Johns, elected Bill Roth as captain. Viking light-weight tracksters were victorious in two out of the three divisions in the P. A. L. championships, winning in the tens’ and twenties' classes. The dimes' victory featured Grady, his fourth year in this division, and George Matsunaga. The twenties’ win depended on the relay team, with that team coming through anchored by Rick. Toshio Matsunaga helped toward this division's championship. Taggert's double wins, in the pole- vault and the high jump, gave the thirties enough points to place fourth in the team score. Over the top Down the back stretch Yo! Heave ho! UnumiTfD - ffiOSH-SOPH BASEBALL Handicapped by lack of equipment and spectator interest, the Frosh'Soph baseball team, coached by Norman Carr, had a mediocre season. Bewick was first string pitcher and Sonnickson was behind the plate. On the bases were Neilson, Poston, and Ritcher. Reilly had the shortstop assignment, while Steffen, Janovitch, and Crandel were in the field. The Frosh'Soph league was composed of only three schools, Sequoia, San Jose, and Palo Alto. Perhaps it was the fine new field, perhaps it was the coaching of Charles Baracchi, perhaps it was the developed school interest, but probably it was the players themselves that made the 1937 edition of the Palo Alto baseball team the first to win their letters in nearly a decade. Captain Vandervoort and Weenie” Collins were outstanding if anyone was; however, it was not a few outstanding players but a compact team with each member doing his share that gave the Vikings their many victories. Particular credit should be given to a group that stayed out during the length of the season although they saw little action. This was the first Paly team to beat San Jose High School in nine years. u ■ r.it; VARSITY BASEBALL Coach Baracchi, Pratt. Faulkner, Manley, Nelson.

UnLimiTtD - LI6HTUJ£IGHT S IU I HI HI IIIG Although they were regarded early in the season as a weak team, the un- limited paddlers gained enough stretch to take the Peninsula Athletic League swimming championship by nine points. The four man relay team of Man waring, Manning, McNabb and Beck easily broke the record set by another Paly team last year. Others who, during the year, contributed materially to the team's success were Johnston and Slater in the dashes, Whisler and Wylie in the breast-stroke, and McClain and Reichel in the back-stroke. Showing strong points in some events, Palo Alto High's lightweight swimming squads, the thirties, twenties, and tens, were not quite strong enough to take over championships in the P. A. L. swim meets held at Stan- ford in May. Although favored to take the victory, the thirties had only Mustain, backstroke record breaker; Wuthmann, fifty and hundred man, and Nichols in the diving to rely upon to finish second in the point score. The other two divisions also finished second and featured the swimming of Hoyt, Read, and Price. urn hr polo - Tennis This year the Palo Alto water polo team was a member of two leagues, the P. A. L. and a new league, the Bay Cities Water Polo League. This latter was composed of athletic club teams and high school teams, Palo Alto and Sequoia. The Vikings finished near the top of both leagues. Among the valuable players unable to continue the season, due to illness or injury, were E. Manning, Terrell Shores, and Charles Stager. Others outstanding were George Whisler, Dick Barnsley, Bob Slater, Bill Johnston, and Bud Whisler. Not one defeat in P. A. L. competition. That is the record which the varsity tennis team achieved. The team, easily Palo Alto’s strongest in several years, was coached by Delmar T. Israel. Team members were, for the singles, Milton Baker, David Patterson, and Ben Olsen. The first and second doubles were composed of Jack Chappie and Francis Pennell, and Andy Roberts and Don Neilson. The Frosh Soph team was not as success ful as the varsity. In this team, Hansen was first singles and Hoffman and Richards were first doubles. W ATER POLO—Top Row: M Price, Burl. Wise, Whisler, Wutham, Niebcl, McKaig. Front Row: Bradley, Dccius, Reed, I).

Fraser fires the start 5 points—it's a bet BASKETBALL Basketball, always the favorite sport among the majority of VLQueens, had the usual good turnout. Under the supervision of Christina Borland, head of the hardwood sport, several sportsdays with Sequoia and Castilleja were held, besides the in ter cl ass games. This year, for the first time, two' court basketball was used by the teams. The new system, which eliminates the centers, was found to be quite popular. The surprising upset of the season was the defeat of the seniors by the sophs and juniors. The junior sextet was the outstanding team of the season and easily succeeded in defeating their rivals, the sophs, for the champion' ship. The teams' ratings were juniors, sophomores, seniors and freshmen. Captains of the teams were as follows: seniors, Dorothy Mears; junior A, Madeline Johnson; junior B, Ann Bossinger; sophomore A, Jessie Burns; Sophomore B, Dorothy Christensen; freshman A, June Gilky; freshman B, Adele Pierson. Albstars were Marion Banol, Leona Christianson, Betty Jarchow, Laura Higgenson, Sylvia Parr, Phyllis Oeschger, Ann Whitman, and Alma Prior. V 0 L L £ y B fl L L Under the capable direction of Doris Pogue, head of volleyball, this feminine sport experienced one of its most successful seasons. With its year- ly growing number of recruits, volleyball has rapidly become one of the girls’ favorites. Unfortunately the sport was held in the fall quarter; consequently it was out of season, and it was found impossible to hold sportsdays with other schools. The senior team, captained by Jane Harrington, came through in championship style to win the eagerly sought-for title from the sophs. The final game was without a doubt the most hard fought battle of the season, the seniors winning by a score of 35-33. Captains of the other teams were senior B, Betty Winterburn; junior A, Betty Jarchow; sophomore B, Janie Jillson; freshman A, Marion Christianson; and frosh B, Loree Meek. The girls earning all-star honors were as follows: seniors, Christina Bor- land, Jane Harrington, Dorothy Mears, Doris Pogue, and Willa Westfall; juniors, Clara Nystrom; sophomores, Janice Creech, Louise Gordon, and Joy Pestell; no freshmen were represented. h o c « t y Hockey, Paly Hi's only strictly feminine sport, finished its successful season at the end of the spring quarter. This popular sport is one of the most exciting and fast-moving games on the Vi-queen's schedule. A noticeable handicap during the season was the unusual amount of rain, but this did not prevent the girls from terminating their games in due time. In a surprise ing defeat, the combined soph-junior team took the seniors in a close game with the final score of 3-0. Captains of the teams were as follows: seniors, Virginia Magnussen; the championship team, Marian Lawrence; frosh A, Laura Smith; and frosh B, Nancy West. Hockey, this year, was under the direction of Laura Higgenson, head of the sport, and Miss Collins, coach. There were no sportsdays, as hockey was played during a different quarter here than at other schools. The hockey alPstars were, forwards, Clara Nys- trom, Alma Prior, Pat Allen, Dorothy Mears, and Cleora Hanna; halfbacks, Janie Jillson, Sylvia Parr, and Heather Whitlon; backs, Wilna Brown, and Marion Lawrence; and goaLguard, Ha el Benson. s ni i m m i n s BASEBALL Lack of turnoutees for spring swimming, especially among the juniors and seniors, necessitated the forming of color teams, instead of the usual class ones. Four teams, composed of mixed classmen, were formed under the colors red, green, yellow, and white. At the final meet the green team won a hard-fought victory over the reds for the championship of the quarter. Despite the handicap of a small turnout, Betty Berryman, head of swim- ming, with the help of Coach Doris Green, ably directed the numerous meets of the season. Anticipating several sportsdays with neighboring schools, such as their close rivals, Sequoia and Castilleja, a fairly large number of girls came out for baseball with great enthusiasm. The first four weeks were spent practic- ing teamwork, while the last four were reserved entirely for interclass com petition. The sophomore class was weakened by lack of experienced players, but the junior and senior teams seemed quite well equipped with good material. Stiff competition for the championship predominated between the upper classmen, while several close games were recorded for the two frosh teams.
