G. 5. STEW AST . S. STEWART THE (TlflOROHO JUNE 19 4 0 rrrrr Published June, 1940, by the SENIOR CLASS OF PALO ALTO HIGH Miss Como Montgomery Raymond Alden Elsbeth McCollum Virginia Eckland SCHOOL Adviser Editor Business ..Art To Tully C. Knoles, in recognition of his kind and generous counseling during the past two years, this book is gratefully dedicated. The Senior Class mmm PRINCIPAL'S MtSSAGP It has become a national habit to address youth at commencement time in terms of unbounded prospects of success. There is enough despair in the world now to seem to justify a sharp turn to the opposite or pessimistic view, but I should like to direct you to another exit from this false dilema of optomism or pessimism. It is not cynical but realistic to say that the first condition of serenity, without which people find life unbearable, is not to expect too much. A vivid sense of the present must be our best antidote to despair. Someone has said that one must learn to go along with events and have the courage and the industry to hold to the main stream and not be washed ashore by some immaterial cross current. Though the prospects of the immediate future may look uninviting to many of you, though there may appear to be no alluring road ahead, the same quali- ties that have won people positions of security and respect in the past must continue to do so. Our civilization cannot overcome the existing menaces to posterity without the youthful qualities of mind and spirit which have already brought you a long way toward a useful and happy life. IVAN H.

The five members of the Board of Education are elected by popular vote, each for a period of five years. The board is the governing body of the school district and there is only one authority to whom the board is subordinated—the citizens of the district. The duties of the board are the raising and expending of the tax money for public education, managing the school through the superintendent, and answering to public opinion for the quality of service offered in the schools. The officers are Dr. John C. Almack, president; Mrs. Ruth C. Crary, vice-president; and Mr. J. R. Overturf, secretary and superintendent. Other members are Mrs. M. Ruth Stone, Mrs. Pearl S. Shreve, and Mr. Francis E. Whitmer. The people of the community, especially the young people, owe much to the board for the many good features in the Palo Alto High School which have made it outstand- ing among schools of its kind. It is with this thought in mind that the students of the high school wish to thank the board for their continuous interest in our welfare. The governing body of the high school is the Board of Commissioners, the mem- bers of which are elected by the general student body. This year the board prepared a handbook, which contained suggested activities and duties for the commissioners, and it also sponsored two constitutional amendments. Heading the student body as Commissioner of Public Welfare, Johnny Hubbard, presented some interesting assemblies to the school. The Madrono, Campanile, Lit, and Tower had a very satisfactory year under the direction of Alan Bruce, Com- missioner of Publications. Dances under the supervision of Morton Bailey were success- ful financially as well as socially. Peter Lee, Commissioner of Cultural Activities, acted as co-ordinator for the different clubs, and John Miller, Commissioner of Finance, supervised the varied monetary transactions of the school. The Boys and Girls' Leagues were under the direction of Don Ragno, Commissioner of Boys' Activities, and Pat Cashel, Commissioner ot Girls' Activities. Athletics were headed by June Gilkey, Com- missioner of Girls' Athletics, Bob Richards, Commissioner of Boys' Athletics, and Roberta Prior, secretary. Top Row: John Hubbard, John Miller, Pat Cashel, Morton Bailey, Don Ragno. Bottom Row: Alan Bruce, June Gilkey, Peter Lee, Bob Richards, Roberta Prior. 15 Acting as a supreme court of justice for the students of the high school, the Student Court has charge of all violations of the school constitution and occasionally of city and state laws. The most common cases which come before the court include traffic violations, cutting the cafeteria line, and misuse of student body cards. Taking a constructive rather than a penalizing attitude, the court limits its sentences to performing various duties in caring for the school grounds and buildings, replace- ment of property, and serving detention. In the court practice the students have opportunity to gain specific experience in governing themselves, and to develop a more democratic feeling in the school. Under the leadership of George L. Lang, the faculty adviser, the members for the first semes- ter were Marie Holmes, secretary; Lotte Martens, Henry Leland, Loree Meek, and Dick Price, chairman. As the terms of Henry Leland and Dick Price expired at the close of the first semester, the vacancies were filled by Phil Lee and Frank Wheeler. John Hubbard, as Commissioner of Public Welfare, acted as prosecuting attorney. John Hubbard. Mr. Lang, Latte Martens, Henry Leland, Marie Holmes, Lorcc Meek, Dick Price. Second Semester: Phi!

For the purpose of stimulating student participation in extra-curricular activities and of offering awards to students for outstanding citizenship, the point award system has been functioning for a number of years. Selected by the Commissioner of Public Welfare, the Point Award Committee is responsible for keeping permanent record cards of the service rendered by the students. Any student who has earned enough service points may receive a silver seal on his diploma which entitles him to attend any school activity for two years after leaving. This year Ivonne Johnson was chairman and Louise Crockett was secretary. Other members were Adele Peirson, Sue Price Peter Allen and Donald Wright. In order to give the students a medium through which they can express themselves about peace, study world affairs, and work for peace, two delegates from each cultural club are chosen each year to make up the Peace Council. This year several invitational assemblies were held, and in the spring two delegates attended the Calif- ornia Youth Council in Los Angeles. The president was Virginia Schwartz and the secretary was Nanci West. Mrs. Leona McCully was adviser for both organizations. 17 Top Row; W. Risling, P. Cashel, G. Sadler, P. Taylor, R. Wilbur, R.

The Palo Alto High School has been a member of the California Scholarship Federa- tion for many years. Any student may become a member of the Scholarship Society by earning the necessary grade requirements. A scholarship card may be received by earning ten grade points, eight of which must be in academic subjects. A student who receives the required number of semester cards automatically becomes a life member of the CSF and receives a Gold Seal on his diploma. The chief interest of the society this year was the Central Region Student Conference, held at Palo Alto in the spring, at which over six hundred delegates were present, some of them coming from long distances. During the year two CSF conferences were attended by delegates from this school. One, in the fall, was held at Treasure Island, and the other at St. Marys in the spring. Under the guidance of Miss Sophia Cramer, faculty adviser, a picnic and a pop-corn sale were sponsored. The president for the first semes- ter was Bill Nichols, while Carol Murray headed the society the second semester. Elsbeth McCollum was secretary. 18 To promote friedllness among the girls, and to furnish worthwhile activities in which they may participate, is the purpose of the Girls' League. Meetings are held once each month when programs of special interest to girls are presented. The main activities of the league are providing big sisters for the new girls, presenting the Girls' Jinx, participating in Christmas charity work, giving class luncheons giving the Mothers' Tea, and presenting a scholarship to some deserving girl in the graduating class. Under the able leadership of Pat Cashel and Miss Preston, the league had a very successful year. For the purpose of encouraging school spirit, friendliness and co-operatoin among the boys of the school, the Boys' League meets regularly once a month, at which time matters concerning the activities of the boys are discussed, and talks are pre- sented by men prominent in athletics or other lines of work. Among the activities sponsored by the League were the Stunt Show, the Soph Tyro, and the Father and Son night, each of which was a big success. The officers this year were Don Ragno, president, and Otis Keeler, secretary, with Howard C. Ray as faculty adviser. Girls’ League: J. Caspar, M. Jackson, A. Pappas, E. Lentos, P. Cashel, A. Proctor.

The duties of the board are to choose each quarter the boys who are to receive their block letters and to select the yell leaders. This year much time was spent by the board in revising and improving the letter award system. Any girl who has participated in after-school sports during the current year is eligible for membership in the Girls' Athletic Association. At meetings held each quarter speakers who are qualified to talk on the current sport entertain all of the girls out for that sport. The Commissioner of Girls' Athletics, June Gilkey, headed the board with Cleora hHanna as vice-president, and Angelin Pappas as secretary. Other members of the board were Evelyn Garrett, Laura Smith, Georgene Raab, Jeanette Riechers, Barbara Congdon, Betty Kefauver, Margaret Miller, Ida Stelllng, and Lorraine Coats. The sponsors for the G. A. A. are Mrs. Doris Green, Miss Dorothy Kirby, and Miss Ruth Collins. B. A. C.—Top Row: B. Richards, E. McClain, O. Keeler, J. Wise, Mr. R;iy, P., Doty, M Harrison.

Wheeler Under the leadership of Howard Benson, the Pep Committee has been very active in encouraging greater participation in school spirit. Color week, noon dances, rallies, and a dance after a basketball game are the main activities sponsored by the group. The success of the committee in selling transportation tickets to football games greatly increased the attendance at the out-of-town games. Any student who wishes to become a member must submit an application to be voted upon by the committee. In June the members of the committee vote to determine which junior member will be the chairman the next year. The Pep Committee is sponsored by the instructors of the girls' and boys' physical education departments. As a source of convenience to the students the Co-op sells necessary school sup- plies such as paper, pencils, and special review books. Any profits made are turned over to the general student body fund. Because it is managed by the students the Co-op offers fine experience in management and salesmanship. The staff consists of two senior managers and two junior clerks, with George 5. Stewart as faculty adviser. 21 AGARD, DOROTHY AITKEN, DOUGLAS ALDEN, RAYMOND AMARO, MANUEL ANAYA, MARY APPLETON, LILLIE ARMANASCO, GINA ARNOLD, GEORGE ATKINSON, BERT ATWOOD, JANET BAILEY, MORTON BAIRD, DAVID BARBER, PATRICIA BEARSBY, ARTHUR BENSON, HOWARD BEST, VERNON BIGELOW, HAROLD BLATT, ROBERT BLACK, JOHN BLESSING, JAMES BLOCKLEY.

IDA 39 40 This year the class of 1941 inaugurated a new way of electing the members of the Junior Coun- cil. Each class in United States History, a re- quired subject for Juniors, elected a member to represent the class on the Junior Council. This representative attends the monthly meetings of the council and later makes a report to his class. Members of this year's Junior Council were Connie Kaster, Daniel Van Pelt, Georgene Raab, Chester Elliott, Maxine Gustin, Bob Mendenhall, Barbara Ira, Phil Lee, Coralie Kirk, Donald Freed- man, and Bob Frank. Class officers were Charles Miller, president; Janet Chidester, vice-presi- dent; and Jimmy Mauel, secretary. For the class party the Juniors chose a ship- wreck theme, upon which many novel and amus- ing stunts and costumes were based. The Juniors, individually and collectively, took a prominent part in school affairs. 41 The class of 1942 has taken an energetic part in almost all fields of school activity this year. Directing its destiny have been John Wilson prsident; Bill Thayer, vice-president and Mary Bush, secretary. The counselor is Floyd Russell. The first activity in the fall was the Sopho- more party. The large attendance was indica- tive of the support which the class as a whole was willing to give its activities. In the realm of athletics the class furnished Palo Alto High with several outstanding stars and a great many more prospects for the two years to come. The Sophomore Council members were Nan Bolender, Richard Taylor, Claude Redwine, Ruth Kruse, Margaret Hayes, Wally Roth, Bob Horswill, Roberta Lloyd, Pat Averell, Bob Martin, and Louis Fenton. 42 43 44 45 R.

Beginning their work early last fall the 1940 Madrono staff have, step by step, re- corded a new pictorial history of the school year. They now present this book to the students with the sincere hope that it may bring them many hours of enjoyment in the years to come. Under the guidance of Editor Raymond Alden the Madrono has been carried through an unusually successful year. The associate editors were as follows: Administra- tion, Jean Seward, Jessie Willson; Classes, Jim Taylor; Activities, Ann Reed; Athletics, Rod Wheeler, Esther Lentos: and Art, Virginia Eckland. Elsbeth McCollum acted as business manager and sales manager, and Helen Stirling and Virginia Schwartz were advertising managers. Other students who materially aided the staff were Noreen Angell, Barbara LaPeire, Marie Holmes, Jessie Gaspar, and Angelin Pappas. Ruth Ann Wilson was feature editor. For the success of the book many thanks are due to Miss Como Montgomery for her unfailing guidance and advice, and to Miss Stella McKee for her help with the art work. 48 According to the National Scholastic Press Association, The Campanile has again been rated as one of the foremost high school newspapers in the country. Pat Taylor, this year's editor, acquired renown throughout the school for his column Notes on the Cuff, which appeared regularly on the front page. This year the paper has at- tempted to use as many pictures and illustrations as possible, and with Sid Levin managing that end of it, many cuts were used. Mrs. Evelyn M. Kizer again ably advised the staff and assisted them in maintaining their fine traditions. This year's Publications' Dance was a grand success with the school's fine support. The editorial staff consisted of Pat Taylor, editor; Helen Stirling and Gareth Sadler, managing editors; Ruth Ann Wilson and Elsbefh McCollum, feature editors; John Kemper, Phil Doty, Ruthe Rose and Helen Hahlbeck, associate editors; Ted Holmes, sports editor; Esther Lentos, girls' sports editor; Ann Reed, head proof reader- Ivonne Johnson and Glory Richard- son, copy readers; Noreen Angell, exchange editor; and John Kemper and George Arnold, staff artists. Torrance Wallace was business manager and Esther Harlow, advertising manager. Top Row: N. Angeli, I. Stalling, S. Levin, T. Wallace, A. Bruce, Mrs. Kizer, P. Taylor, R. Wilson, 1 Johnson, H.

The magazine contains only student contributions, those of the j creative writing class and of other talented members of the student body. This j publication has grown to be an organ of the entire school, in which the best work of j the students is published. It was originated in 1928, starting as a small mimeographed E collection of poems from the various English classes. It now contains poems, stories, j articles, and various features, as well as art work done by the members of Miss 1 Stella McKee s art classes. Miss Louise Heatwole again ably assisted by ad- I vising the staff in their work. Other members of the staff were Jim Taylor and Don B Castellic, business managers: Elaine Barrett, art editor: Bette Lehman, short story B editor; Corral Budden, essay editor; Ruth Ann Wilson, feature editor; Fleda Fern I Krone, poetry editor: Lauretta Slocum, copy editor: and Alan Bruce, Commissioner I of Publications. In addition to the aid given by the art classes, the typing classes 1 have also assisted the staff. 1 1 Johmon, C. Budden, A. Bruce, Miss Heatwole, R Wilson, J. Taylor. E. Barrett, L. Slocum, B.

Graduation requirements, college entrance requirements, and information con- cerning the various student body organizations are all included in the Tower. This handbook is issued each September at the beginning of school, and in the spring a committee is selected to revise the book for the following year. Its main purpose is to acquaint Paly Hi students with their school. The publication has proved especially valuable to incoming students, as it contains a hisotry of the school, athletic records, songs, yells, school colors, and miscellaneous information concern- ing the building, room numbers, student activities, social functions, athletic schedules, scholarships and awards. This year, the work of the Handbook Committee has been guided by Miss Ingegerd Uppman. With Gareth Sadler as editor, next year's ' Tower promises to be a fine one. Other members of the staff are Noreen Angell, Glory Richardson, Keith Walker, James Hoey, Carrol Budden, Ray Eiselt, John Kemper, and Alan Bruce, Commissioner of Publications. 51 Tot Row: D.

Under the leadership of Ed McClain, president, and a governing committee of five members: Bob Keeler, John Black, Bill Kreutzmann, Larry Walters, and Sam Steers, the Boys’ Block ’'P, ' the major athletic honor society for boys has concluded another year of service to the school. Block P members were stationed in the halls to help prevent traffic congestion between classes and at noon. When school opened last September, Block P mem- bers answered questions and helped direct the new students to their classes. It co- operated with the B. A. C. in carrying out the custom of presenting an annual Soph Tyro, which was most successful. Instead of the traditional Barn Dance which it has presented in past years the society this year gave a semi-formal dance in November. Leading the Girls' Block P this year were Margaret Miller, president, and Marion Christiansen, secretary. The activities of the past year included serving at the G. P. A. L. dinner, and being hostesses to over six hundred girls at the County Sports Day. 52 7 un ' LOCK P ERAL SOCIETY The Minor Letter Society, the secondary athletic society of Palo Alto High School, again rendered valuable service af various school functions. The main project undertaken by the letter-men durinq the football season was the regulation of car-parking at all home games, a measure which proved extremely help- ful from a safety standpoint. The Minor Letter Society's contribution to the annual Boys' Stunt Show was well received by the audience. Under the direction of President Jim Taylor, as com- mentator, a fashion show was presented featuring such notable athletic heroes as Larry Simonini, Don Ragno, Grant Denmark, Lloyd Sehman, Don Franklin, Cliff Giffin, and Melvin Lane, all former minor letter-men. The Numeral Society is an organization for girls who have participated in at least three quarters of afterschool sports. Sophomores and juniors become members when they have earned three hundred points, but seniors need four hundred points for membership. Minor Letter—Ton Row: P. Lee, A. Davis, R. Feichtmeir, L.

Under the direction of Miss Laurene Shields and Betty Wattenberger, president, the club presented three plays to the student body of Palo Alto High School. The two plays selected for the Christmas season were The Exile” and The Babe at the Inn.” Booth Tarkington's humorous Tweedles” was chosen for the club's annual three-act play given in April. The Thespian Club is open to any junior or senior who is interested in dramatics and who fulfills the try-out requirements. Whoever wishes to join is required to pre- sent a short skit to the membership committee as a demonstration of his dramatic ability. Try-outs are held twice a year. Besides president Betty Wattenberger the Thespian officers are Patty Hoagland, vice-president, and Marilyn Malm, secretary-treasurer. Top Row: P. Gilkey, P. Cashel. B Pulsifer, P Taylor. M Lam .

During the Christmas season, the Thespian Club presented two one-act plays: Exile by Arthur Doyle, and The Babe at the Inn by Delle OgJesbee Ross. The for- mer was the tale of the return of a long-lost son in disguise to his country home and old parents. The scene was the living room of the Snow home in a rural farm district. Alan Bruce and Barbara Merner portayed the two old parents, Robert and Matilda Snow. The son, Dick, coming home after his escape from prison was played by Peter Lee. The second play was the biblical story of the birth of the Christ Child at the inn. Margaret Morgan played the role of Sarah, the wife of the inn-keeper, and Lorraine Miller that of her son. Also in the cast were Jane Simpson, Jeanne Hay, Ben Pulsifer, Rowland Glassey, Albert King, John Bennett, Yvonne Genero, Georgene Raab, Bob Decius, Sue Price, Alan Bruce, Richard Roberson, and Peter Lee. During this play the A Cappella Choir sang The Virgin's Slumber Song by Reger. The choir also pre- sented a group of four songs between the plays. Miss Laurene Shields, sponsor of the Thespian Club, should be given credit for her excellent direction of the two plays. 55 Top Row: B. Manning, B. Mcrncr, B. Wattcnbcrger, J. Bennett, C. Kastrr, M.

For its annual spring production the Thespian Club this year chose Booth Tarking- ton's three-act comedy Tweedles, which was presented twice. Under Miss Shields' fine direction the excellent cast made the most of the hilarious situations. The plot involved the conflict between one of New England’s first families, the Tweedles, and the Castleburys. an artistcratic family from Philadelphia, whom the Tweedles re- garded as summer people. The development of the romance between Winsora Tweedles and Julian Castlebury was eagerly followed by the two audiences. As the action took place in the Tweedles' antique shop and tea room, the property committee was obliged to work valiantly to make a realistic set. John Bennet played the hero, Julian Castlebury, and Barbara Merner and Jeanne Robinson played the heroine, Winsora. Other members of the cast were Margaret Morgan as Mrs. Albergone, Betty Wattenberger and Connie Kaster as Mrs. Rickets, Carolan Finneran and Patty Hoagland as Mrs. Castlebury, Bob Manning as Tweedles, and Richard Roberson as Mr. Castlebury, Albert King was Ambrose Tweedles, and Ben Pulsifer played Philemon Tweedles.

Tap dancing, singing, and good old-fashioned vaudeville capti- vated the audience. Margaret Morgan as Joan Davis, Helen Stirling's Bleacher Blunders, and Philomusia's Mother Goose all helped to make the Jinx the triumph it was. With Charlie Travis and George Arnold as masters of ceremony, the annual Boys' Stunt Show was bound to be entertaining. Jim Taylor's Fashion Show and the Faculty Meeting were two of the hits of the evening. Other members included the Block P Chorus, selections by the orchestra, songs rendered by Bert Atkinson, and trnie Nelligan's hill-billy band. Hod Ray, faculty adviser, and Don Ragno, Com- missioner of Boys' Activities, were in charge. The receipts of this show were given to the boys' Injury Fund. 1. The undealt cards—G Arnold, S.

Knighton, has played for all home football games, and has occasionally provided a small pep band tor basketball games. The group of fifty made a fine showing at the Armistice Day parade, after which they helped to support their team at the Palo Alto-Sequoia foot- ball game. During the fall they provided the music for the P. T. A. rally and also for a series of noon concerts. On January 25 the band presented an assembly, at which were featured vocalists, the dance band, the saxaphone choir, and the majorettes. This assembly showed the versatility of the band, as well as the skill of its different units. The final two performances of the band were given during the annual May parade and the commencement exercises. The members of the organization were fitted for sweaters in the early fall, and have worn them since on special occasions. Left R)iik: Gunn, Springer, B. Gunther, Witham, Rinden, H. Miller, R.

Commencing its busy year by playing at the Santa Clara County Orchestra Festi- val, the orchestra, under the direction of David L. Knighton, has continued to play for all school functions. This annual festival was held at San Jose and included six other orchestras from various schools. Our orchestra received an excellent rating by the judges at this performance. Besides taking part in the festival, they also played for the Thespian three-act play, Public Education week, and for an as- sembly with the vocal department. Mr, Knighton has also organized a girls' orchestra which performed for the annual Girls' Jinx and for the Mothers' Tea. The ochesfra has built up its membership and increased its instrumentation. Next year there will be from forty to fifty pieces as nearly as can be judged from the avail- able players, and also several informal and one formal assembly have been planned for the next school year. Two picnics were held during the year by the orchestra; the combined picnic with the A Cappella Choir, and their annual spring picnic. 59 Top Row: E. Hacrtlc, B. Perry, L. S bky, V.

Under the direction of Mrs. Lucille Fox Green, the choir then had a busy Christmas season; they sang two groups of songs between the acts of the Thespian yuletide plays. Also during that season, such groups as the Fortnightly Club and several churches enjoyed their music. On December 8 at the annual A Cappella Choir Festival held at San Jose, our choir sang with about ten other choirs. They next took part in the state and national music festival sponsored by the National Music Educators' Conference, and presented, as well, several recitals for various or- ganizations. A concert will be given at the graduation exercises as has been done for the past two years. The choir collaborated with the Philomusia Society in buying a new combination recording machine and radio-phonograph. 60 The Philomusia Society, which is comparable to a girls' glee club, is open to any girl who enjoys singing and who cares to apply tor membership. The first activity in which this club participated was the annual Girls' Jinx. They also sponsored the Philomusia Formal held during the Christmas season. The fifty members have also made possible, in conjunction with the A Cappella Choir, the purchase of a new instrument for use in the training of voice. It is a combination radio, public address system, phonograph, and recording machine, which will record both from the microphone and from the radio. Mrs. Lucille Fox Green, director of the singing group, expects to find many invaluable uses for the instru- ment in her voice training classes. The Philomusia Society also contributed twenty-five dollars to the Metropolitan Opera Association. The organization's final performance of the year was the musical held In May for the parents of the girls. This year's officers were Jean Seward, president; Carol Mur- ray, vice-president; and Catherine Kittredge, secretary-treasurer. Top Row: Mrs. Green, J. Gaspar, J. Chi Jester, B. Perry, N. S:,ern, V.

All students who are interested in the mounting of birds and animals may learn to do so in the Taxidermy Club, which gives opportunity to its members to learn the techniques of taxidermy. An active interest in the club and what it stands for is all that is required of applicants for membership. Interesting books explaining each phase of taxidermy have been obtained by the club. Mr. R. J. Jungerman was the faculty adviser this year, and Jerry Draper was the president. The other officers were Jimmy Mauel, vice-president; Grace Pingree, secretary: and Charles Miller, treasurer. An active year has been spent by the Nature Club. Field trips, good speakers, motion pictures, and special meetings are offered by fhis club to any student who is interested in the conservation of our wild life and our natural resources. Under the sponsorship of Mr. R. J. Junqerman the following officers have guided the Nature Club through its busy year: Emil Kunz, president; Dick Wheat, vice-president; and Mary Bush, secretary. 63 64 HOME ECONOMICS HOME ECONOMICS 65 FORUM SKI LATIN 66 REPORTERS 67 P.

A, L. cellar spot, Palo Alto surprised every one, even Coaches Ray and Hurley, by tying with Sequoia for third place. The Vikings opened with two practice tilts. They defeated Santa Cruz, I 3 to 6, and Mountain View, I 3 to 0. Jefferson fell in the league opener, 12 to 7, but Burlingame took the next game 20 to 13. Two victories followed when Paly squashed Galileo I 9 to 12, and South City I 3 to 6. The Norse- men didn't click in the Big Game and a scoreless tie resulted. Still in a slump, Paly was overwhelmed by San Jose, 18 to 6, but they snapped out of it when San Mateo was nosed out I 3 to 12 in the finale. Outstanding were Captain Kreutzmann, Black, Giffin, Steers, Benson, Wills, Bringino, Thomason, Telmont, Roth, Atkinson, Taylor, Hinkley, and Millar. Lack of scoring punch proved fatal for Coach Floyd Russell's sophomore squad. They started with a 6 to 0 loss to Vallejo, followed by a I 2 to 0 victory over Jefferson and a I 3 to 7 setback from Burlingame.

This was the comment Coach Hod Ray had for his 1940 varsity basketball squad, and it was a good estimate of the Vikings for they lost but two games out of their last seventeen and finished second to San Jose in the P. A. L. Race. Paly opened with three consecutive losses, but Coach Ray found the right combination, and it went on to win ten straight. Climax of the season came when the Norse men lost to San Jose, 31 to 28, in the third overtime period. With this game went the P. A. L championship. Outstanding were Captain Den- mark, Keeler, Ragno, Reilly, Black, Troedson, Millar, and Feichtmeir. Coach George Hurley's thirties lost but two league games to tie with South City for second in the P. A. L. They defeated Jefferson, San Jose, San Mateo, and Half Moon Bay, but lost to Sequoia and South City. Captain Boldt, West, Richards, Wheeler, Howell, Holmes, and Lavers saw most of the action. By defeating Burlingame, 24 to 20, in the final game of the season, Coach George Lang's twenties grabbed the P. A .L. championship. They were undefeated in league play. Outstanding players were Captain Sakaki- hara, Allen, Nevares, Pratt, Mock, Quinby, and Cochran. A tie for third was the best that Coach Lang's tens could do in the P. A. L. after starting the season with three wins. Captain Herdman, Olson, Sato, Stankovich, Taylor, Janssen, and Fujinari were the mainstays. Season Record: P. A. Oppfl. 27..........

Palo Alto competed in meets with San Mateo, Menlo Junior College, San Jose, and Sequoia; at press time Paly was preparing for the N. C. S. at Antioch. During the season the Norse tracksters ran in the King City invitational and in the Stanford Frosh P. A. L. all-star meet. The P. A. L. meet served as a fitting climax to a successful track season. Outstanding was Denmark's double win in the weights and come through performances by Black, Atkinson, Hogan and Millar. Points from Reilly and Joachims were important. The 1941 track team will be hard hit by graduation, but replacements from the light- weights will aid Coach Ray. Paly’s three lightweight track teams were not so successful as the varsity. In the P. A. L. the Viking thirties finished last, the twenties third, and the tens third. Palo Alto contributed one record-breaking performance when Mauel cleared 5 feet 7 and 7-8 inches in the 120 high jump. Those on the 130 squad were Mattingly, Wilson, Freitas, Allen, Schledewitz, Wheeler, and Cox. Twenties were: Mauel, Fisher, Olson, Nevares, Sato, and Walker. Tens: Gehan and Fujinari. 1.

At press time, coach George Hurley's bat-swingers had failed to win one game out of seventeen and were tied with South City in the P. A. L. cellar: they had but two league tilts remaining. Although lack- ing In every department of the game, with the possible exception of pitch- ing, members of the team displayed an excellent spirit and a decided will- to win which made itself increasingly evident as the season progressed. The Norsemen showed marked improvement In losing to San Jose, 5 to 3, the final game before publication date, and were looking forward to winning the season finale with Sequoia. With but few veterans returning, the out- look for 1941 was not particularly encouraging. The team was composed of the following: Borges and Wills, pitchers; Alves and Troedson, catchers; Holmes, first base; Vermillion, second base; Pratt, third base; Linfoot, short stop; Perry, left field; Fuchs, center field; Amaro, right field. P. Stankovlch, Bigelow, Rhodehouse, and Stonehill also saw action. As the Madrono went to press Coach Martin Olivera’s sophomore nine had lost four of five P. A. L. encounters. The Vikings were downed twice by San Jose, 13 to 2, and 6 to 2; they lost to Jefferson 2 to I, and to Sequoia 9 to I. Paly defeated Sequoia 10 to 4 in a return match for its only league victory. However, another game with Sequoia remained on the schedule. The team: B. Stankovich, pitcher; Simonini and Wagner, catchers; Jenks, Martz, Brown, Kay, Cain, and White, infielders; Pierson, Nash, Cooke, Frames, Gerken, and Martin, fielders.

Coach Bob Fraser’s boys also ran their high school dual meet consecutive win streak out to thirty-two. Only loss to a high school occurred when Lodi de- feated Paly by one point in a three-way meet. This, however, does not af- fect the dual meet record. The Norsemen breezed through all league competition winning the P. A. L. by 22 points and taking four first places. As the Madrono went to press, Palo Alto was a strong favorite to win its tenth N. C. S. crown. Oustanding were Keeler, Hinckley, and B. Blatt, sprints; Nichols, Wise, 220; Pete Lee, Siffin, backstroke; Herdman, diving. Each of the three Palo Alto lightweight squads finished second in the P. A. L. finals, Sequoia winning in each case. Paly accounted for two new records in the 130 division. Ramsey lowered the breastroke mark to 1:13.6, and the medley relay team of Daley, Ramsey, and West shaved 2.1 seconds off the old time. The thirty squad consisted of Ramsey, Daley, Armstrong, Urquhart, Foss, Phil Lee, and Petty. Twenties were Sheridan, J. Blatt, Howell, Nicholson, Cowger Pattison, and Williams.

L. crown an walloped the big three, a feat never before accomplished by a Paly seven in the same season. The Norsemen won five straight league contests to cinch the title, but lost the final encounter to San Jose, II to 5, when Coach Fraser played his entire squad. The big three fell by the wayside as Paly whitewashed the Stanford Frosh twice, 12 to 5 and 9 to 2; the California Frosh, 10 to 7, and the San Jose State Frosh, 7 to 4. Out- standing players were Captain Wylie, who averaged four goals per game, Keeler, Wise, Leeper, Daley, Blatt, Urquhart, West, McClain and Ruweler. At press time the Paly netsters had played four league matches, winning one and losing three. Forced to default second and third singles, Palo Alto was defeated by San Jose, 3 to 2. The Norsemen won over Sequoia 3 to 2 in the next match, but were downed, 4 to I, by San Mateo the following week. Burlingame took the final match from the Vikings, 3 to 2. Murray played first singles; Sargent played second; and Wilson and Wise alternat- ed at third singles. Price and Eldred played first doubles, and Hansen and Redwine played second doubles. San Mateo and San Jose were favored to win the P. A. L. singles and doubles respectively. Season Record: A. I Opps. ...- 0 L 4 f 4 10 Stanford Frosh .... 5 } 4 9 4 1 ? 3 i. 2 A 1 Calif.

There were four complete color teams headed by Captains Marjorie Jackson, Esther Lentos, Marion Christiansen, and Ann Proctor. The brown team won the championship this year, losing not a single game during the season. Palo Alto was invited to two sportsdays, one at Burlingame, and the other at Castilleja. All teams made a good showing. The all-stars were Hortense Miller, Laura Smith, Lois Stone, Margaret Miller, Marion Christiansen, June Gilkey, Josephine Paulson, Use Von der Ahe, and Cleora Hanna. Receiving honorable mention were Ida Stelling, Dorothy Howell, Alice Lovett, Bar- bara Nelson, and Mary Frances Jackson. Under the management of Barbara Congdon, the swimming season was very suc- cessful. There were four color teams, which were captained by the following: Barbara Norby, Brown: Helen Cliff, Blue, Maryetta Fagan, Green; and Julie Smith, Maroon. Outstanding performances were given by Pat Scofield in the twenty-five yard free- style, and by Barbara Tyler in diving. Because no other schools could come here for competition, only inter-club meets were held. The championship was won by the Brown team. The all-stars were Barbara Camomile, Virginia Schwartz, Barbara Tyler, Barbara Congdon Jane Piggott, Muriel Helllwell, Marjorie Norby, Pat Scofield, Helen Cliff, and Barbara Norby.

The fact that the Green C team lost but one game shows that all teams were closely matched. Eight teams represented Paly at a large sportsday at Burlingame, in which all but two of the G. P. A. L. schools were represented. A sports day was also held with Jordan, in which the C teams competed. Because it was so hard to choose nine all-stars out of so many good players, they were not selected this year. Georgine Raab was manager of volleyball. One hundred and twenty-two girls came out for basketball. This was the largest turn-out of the year. Teams were formed from each color group; three schedules were played: A, B, and C; and playoffs were held in order to decide the championships in each group. The Brown team won the A schedule championship, with the Blues a close second. The Browns and Blues tied in the B schedule and the Browns won the C championship. Three sportsdays were held at Mountain View, Sequoia, and Castilleja. The all-stars were chosen as follows: A s—L. Smith, J. Gilkey, M. G. Gulliver, C. Hanna, B. Howell, B. Kefauver, A. Lovett, H. Miller, M. Millre. B's—N. Bolender, M. Gustine, L. Klay, J. Koppel, B. Norby, M. G. Smith. C’s—M. Suransky, B. Congdon, M. Helliwell, M. Folsom, M. Norby.

About six hundred girls participated in the following sports: volleyball, baseball, badminton, tennis, and pleasure swimming. Plans were made for sports days with Castilleja and Mountain View. This year's base- ball captains included Pauline Sperry, Shirley Stuart, Virginia Nye, and Carol Rich. June Gilkey, Commissioner of Girls' Athletics, was in charge of the event. Tennis started off well this year with four complete color teams reporting for prac- tice. Captains were elected as follows: Brown, Geraldine Faber; Blue, Jane Simpson; Maroon, Mary Gail Gulliver; Green, Barbara Davis. Jeanette Riechers managed tennis this year. At press time only two teams had completed games. The Greens won seven games and lost three to the Browns. On the Green ladder, Maxine Gustin and Marjorie Connell were on top. Geraldine Pratt and Barbara Camomile were leading the Browns. Alice Lovett and D'Ahlborn Lowery headed the Blue ladder, and Jeannette Riechers and Josephine Paulson were leading the Maroons.

The big disappointment of the year was the Sequoia vs. Paly game, which wound up with a 0-0 score. The seniors were especially downcast because they wanted to see Paly win that game just once!
