BUSINESS MANAGER 1952 MADRONO DEDICATION In gratitude for the kindness and friendliness you have always shown toward us, for all the jobs you ungrudgingly did for us, and for the cheery smile and greeting you always have for us, we, the Class of '52, dedicate this book to you, Al Green. IN MEMORIAM For tuo generations of service to Palyites, for his warm smile and heart, and for his outstanding contribution to high school athletics, the 1952 Madrono is in memoriam to Coach Howard C. (Hod) Ray. AU the 1Ui+UfA. Ane OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL PALO ALTO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA To the Class of 1952: As I write this little message of congratulation and farewell to you, it is difficult for me to realize that you have been with us three years. It seems only yesterday that you entered Paly as sophomores. We hope the past three years have been pleasant ones at Paly and that the memory of these years will mean much to you during the years ahead. We hope you will continue to think of yourself as still a part of Paly High even though you are now joining the long list of its graduates reaching back over fifty years. In spite of our efforts to keep in touch with you, we shall be dependent on you to keep us informed of your ventures. Came back and see us, renew your shiendships here, and tell us of your trials and your successes. Paly High will continue its interest in you. To the best wishes of the faculty and students of Paly High may I add my own in a generous amount? Very sincerely, IVAN H. LINDER, Principal.

However, you have grown in stature, judgment, maturity, experience, and competence to deal with increasingly complex problems. It is an earnest hope that Paly has contributed much to your growth and development and that you will always remember Paly with a warm spot in your heart.

Yes, it seems like ages ago that we were in grammar school. Coming from Addison, Channing, Lytton, Mayfield, Stanford and Walter Hays, we first represented our class as seventh graders at Jordan. While we were still enjoying our glory in graduating from Junior High School, we suddenly found ourselves at the beginning again, and we felt awfully lost in the bargain. As the record draws closer and closer to the end, we look back for a minute on our Paly days. As sophomores, we wondered what this new ’plant'’ was all about. We sponsored the 52 class party, ’’Sophomore Shenanigans. We ordered our class rings. Our soph football team won the PAL. As juniors, we sponsored the annual Junior Prom with the theme, ’’Lost in the Stars. Our football players helped guide the Paly varsity to an unde- feated season and the PAL crown. Peggy Mudgett represented us at Girls’ State and Dan Cathcart and Gary Williams represented Paly at Boys’ State. Be- fore long the hubbub and excitement of spring elec- tions faced our class, as we wondered who would be our leaders next year. Last, but not least, as seniors we once again won the PAL in football, and also won it in basketball, water polo and swimming. Our class inaugurated the highly successful Senior Prom. Highlight of the fall was the Showboat” Girls’ Jinx, and the spring highlight was the annual stage production, Lost Horizon, by James Hilton. Next came finals, baccalaureate services, Senior Week and Commencement. This record is over, but the Class of 1952 will now start grooving new and more important rec- ords in college, in occupations, or perhaps in service to their country.

They Did It Again” As the final gun sounded in Stanford Stadium to end the 1951 Paly-Sequoia Lil Big Game, the Green and White Vikings found themselves seated on a fresh record probably never to be surpassed. Through two years of varsity competition, they had established a string of 18 straight victories and cap- tured two unblemished PAL championships. This fact becomes more significant when it is recalled that never before had the Norse gone through an undefeated campaign, let alone two. It can mainly be attributed to the strong guidance of the late Coach Hod Kay, who spurred on the boys who he felt were real champs. Paly’s 1951 grid war opened rather dismally with a narrow 12-6 win over Watsonville. League play started with a bang, however, as the Vikes trampled Willow Glen, 37-7. Showing an improved ground attack the Green machine hit paydirt in every quar- ter, with Fullback Don Malinoff pacing Paly on two TD runs. Traveling to Lincoln the next week, Coach Ray’s gridders smashed into the Lions with hungry eagerness to rack up a lopsided 46-6 victory. All-PAL halfback Jim Farrell scored on three TD jaunts to lead the Norse—while all-league end John Stewart followed closely with two end-zoners to his credit. Linebacker Dean Berg was the defensive standout, as he roamed all over the field pulling down Link runners. Then, hitting the actual climax of their season, the Vikings squeezed by touted Bur- lingame, 12-7, in the prep game of the year. Crazy Legs” Farrell chalked up both Paly touchdowns, which were just enough to subdue the Panthers in the last minutes of play. Forming the backbone of the stellar Viking defense was tackle Chris Marshall, who was voted by his team-mates at the end of the season as the most valuable player on the squad. San Jose and San Mateo later followed Blingum into the Norse graveyard by respective scores of 32-7 and 32-0, with the Raymen posting their first season shutout over the Bearcats. Going into their final stretch, the champs bruised South San Fran- cisco, 28-6, in a rough skirmish before facing the Cherokees in the Big One.” In a rain-soaked en- counter before a sparse collection of fans, the Vik- ings proved their mettle by completely drowning the revengeful Sequoians, 31-0, and ending a per- fect season.

SOPH FOOTBALL Though it produced few victories George Hur- ley’s T formation and single wing sophomore foot- ball squad did turn out several outstanding pros- pects for the 1952 Paly varsity. Both on offense and defense huge 230-pound center Pat Patterson shone out; also prominent were Rinky Babka, Dave Brewic, and Jerome Berg, all over two hundred pounds and solid prospects for next year. Lanky Rudy Ligtelyn and John Vermette developed into a pair of fine pass grabbers by the end of the season. There were more than enough hard running backs. In both the left half position in the T and tailback spot in the single wing Glade Williams continued to sparkle throughout the campaign by taking a share of the running and passing chores. In addi- tion there were spunky Harlow Rothert, Don Hampton, Carl Robinson, Del Boccignone, Bill Clarke, and Don Fletcher, who was also an effective linebacker. The ’51 edition of the Lil’ Vikes opened their season with a trip to Daly City where they were shut out by Jefferson, 12-0, A second-half rally was re- sponsible for their 39-6 pasting of San Jose, but a fumble cost them a victory over Menlo-Atherton in the following contest. San Mateo’s league cham- pions whitewashed the Green and White 19-0 in their next outing. After squeezing by Burlingame 14-12, the Hurleymen were downed 13-0 by Capu- chino and finished off the season losing the Lil’ Big Game to Sequoia by one touchdown, 7-0, Front yow: S. Brown, E.

Coach William Hutchinson 10's AND 20 s BASKETBALL Coming into existence after a two-year layoff, tens and twenties basketball did not enjoy too suc- cessful a season at Palo Alto. Interest in the sport was overshadowed by the championship football and water polo teams and none of the home con- tests were well attended, but nevertheless Paly’s lightweights proved a benefit to the school by re- viving fall basketball. The tens won only one game and the twenties could salvage no more than three victories from the season s schedule of eight games. The tens garnered their lone triumph over Lin- coln while the twenties scored wins over Menlo- Atherton, 41-26, and Capuchino, 34-32. Rising to their peak against highly-regarded Willow Glen, the Lil’ Vikes decisively turned back the Rams, 37 to 28. Outstanding for the twenties were center Roger Stephens and guard J. D. Northway, who took turns topping the scoring and wound up with sea- son totals of 52 and 51 points respectively. Other standouts were Jack Mott, Ken Doyle, Merl Mooney, and George Conner. Coach Bill Hutchin- son’s tens were sparked throughout the season by the high scoring and solid all-around play of lanky center John Brown and guard Bill Mentzer. From row: E. Hardy, B. Ziegler. R.

WATER POLO Termed by Coach Nort Thornton as The great- est water polo team ever to represent Paly, the Vikings went undefeated in eleven games during the 1951 season. Thornton’s charges started out their campaign by upsetting a favored Alumni seven by the score of 3 to 1. Next on the Norse victim list was San Mateo, who fell to the tune of 15 to 4. Then a 20 to 0 whitewashing over Burlin- game and the 14 to 6 defeat of the Stanford Frosh junior varsity set the stage for the first of two games with Sequoia. Paly came through with a hard- fought 8-5 victory over the previously unbeaten Cherokees. The Palywogs continued their winning ways by again waxing San Mateo, 14-1, Stanford Frosh, 7-4, Burlingame, 17 to 5, and the San Jose State Frosh JVs. In the PAL finals, the Thornton- men trounced Sequoia 13-9 to take the champion- ship, and closed out the season with a 10-4 dump- ing over San Jose. Palo Alto dominated the PAL water polo team as four Norsemen landed positions on the mythical seven. Forward John Dickerson won a berth for the second straight year, and sprint Ed Hardy, center- back John Radford, and guard Ted Frapwell were the three other Vikings who made it. Besides the four mentioned, Thornton will lose the rest of his first string, consisting of Capt. Paul Kelly, guard Bob Ziegler, anc goalie Ronald Mann. Top reserves Winston Black, Cal Holsti, Francis Wright, and Roger Fleischmann have also played their last games for the Green and White. Standing; Coach Fiaher, P. Sevenon, J. Stevick, D. Roman, J.

Although green in experience, the Viking grapplers gave tough sledding to all their oppo- nents as they posted a one won, six lost record. The sole victory came over the Menlo-Atherton Bears, 31-8, at the start of the PAL campaign. Outstanding for the Norse were lettermen Vin- cent Emma and Dave Roman in the 145 and 165 pound divisions, while Ted Caine also earned a block for his efforts in the 103 class. Don Stott and Pete Severson were also key figures in Coach Fisher’s squad, and middleweights George Talman and Hal Berger, when not sick, were equally prominent. Front rou: F. Pindar. K. Holsti, D.

This year’s thirties were an unpredictable lot: Seemingly subdued and beaten at the end of the first half in several games, they staged sizzling rallies in the final quarters to completely scare their opponents. Probably the most impressive showing of the Lil Vikes, though a losing one, came in their venture against Willow Glen’s league champions. Behind hopelessly at the start of the third quarter, the local boys turned on the steam and slowly crept up on the desperate Rams. Only the clock prevented a Viking victory, and the San Joseans won out, 39-38. Leading the thirties were All-PAL forward Ron Lindsay, a shifty left-handed artist, and Bob Ham- lett, who snared a berth on the second string mythi- cal quintet. Guards Don Cady and Glade Williams were invaluable on the rebounding and offense while Arleigh Roberson and Scott Piersol alternated at the pivot slot. Others who took a large hand in the 30s attack were Fred Pindar, Chris Schink, and Dave Engelcke.

Don Malinoff Jim Farrell Pelt Schink Coach George Hurley Fred Lindholm VARSITY BASKETBALL Undisputed PAL champions for the first time since 1943! And conquerors they were, as Paly High’s Vikings swept through an 11 game stretch with an undefeated league record. Without a doubt the sweetest victory for Coach George Hurley’s tall cagers, however, was their 49-45 shellacking over Sequoia’s vaunted Cherokees, who had dominated the Big Game rivalry for five years. In an inspired performance, the white-shirted Norse played cnam- ionship basketball throughout the contest to safely ring their crown to earth. After dropping two practice games at the start of the season, the Vikes woke up in opening conference play to whip young Capuchino, 62-13. Then came Lincoln, 64-47, be- fore the narrow clash with Burlingame. Runnlhg up against a tough Panther outfit, the locals had to cling on for a 41-40 win. Hitting their stride, the Vikings successively pummeled Willow Glen, 48-32, and South San Francisco, 50-41, as they began to gather press clippings. In what was termed as a crucial, the Hurley men eased by newxomer Menlo- Atherton, 50-45, and appeared headed for paydirt as they racked up San Mateo, 54-31, and San Jose, 47-36. Jefferson proved to be the scare of the year, giving the Norse a hard-fought 57-56 battle. Final- ly, in a warmup for the Big Game, the champs rolled over stubborn Half Moon Bay, 69-41. Stalwarts for the Paly banner throughout the season were All-PAL John Stewart, a strong re- bounder and fine shooter, and Captain Dean Berg, who cinched second string league honors with his clutch playing. Lanky Don Sonnichsen performed creditably in his center slot, while guards Don Malinoff and Jim Farrell provided the steadying influence for the Vike quintet. Senior forwards Bob Ziegler and John Florida and guard Tony Hodge played dependable ball, as did junior Pete Schink, Don Kenyon, and Rinky Babka. Front row: F. Mills, J. Farrell. B. Ziegler, D. Bern.

I VARSITY TRACK Palo Alto High's varsity trackmen once again proved themselves a worthy outfit to conquer, as they fell short of the 1952 PAL championship by l 2 points. 1 he defending Vikings, well known for their timely upsets, would most probably have taken the cinder crown in the finals at San Jose's Spartan Stadium had it not been for a stunning misunderstanding and the ill twist of Lady Luck. Norse 880 star Bill Mussen failed to run in his event as a result of wrong directions, while a faulty pass in the crucial relay turned fate against the Green and White as Sequoia Cherokees pulled a surprise victory. In regular season com- petition, the charges of Coaches Forrest Jamieson and Wes Fisher posted wins over San Jose. Lincoln. Burlingame, South City, Jefferson, and Willow Glen, as well as trouncing Sequoia 64-49 in the annual Big Meet. The only loss suffered was to San Mateo s Bearcats, 61-51. At presstime of this volume the local tracksters were pcepping for the trials of the NCS meet, with visions in mind of the state meet to be held in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The sturdy Vikings were strong in practically every event. Mussen led the way as he competed in the 880, high jump, and high hurdles. Lanky John Stewart outclassed his PAL competition as he reached his best ever form in the high jump, and also did creditably in the low sticks and discus events. Lee Van Eaton was another dependable hurdles performer. Lloyd Carter and Dick DeVoto composed Paly’s sprint duo; Carter finished second in the PAL 220, while Galloping” Dick was not far behind with a close fourth place. Soph Dick Ruppcl ran the mile, and broadjumper Lon Sanchez alternated with the 440. Burly Dan Mai in off was in a class by himself in the discus, as he cracked the long-standing old record in the finals at San Jose. Don Sonnichsen was head man in the shot put, and he had his biggest moment in beating solid favorite Walfrid Andersson from San Mateo. Jerry Inman aided the two Docv in both events, while Bill Gibson backed up Sanchez in the broad jump. Carrying Paly's colora in the pole vault were Bob Liston and Dan Eckert. Coach Forrest Jamieson LIGHTWEIGHT TRACK Lacking sufficient manpower to put together a winning team, Paly's small contingent of lightweight tracksters nevertheless shone at various points of the season in addition to producing future cinder prospects. The class C squad, comprised mainly of J. D. Northway and Bob Davis, overshadowed the thirties’ exploits by coming in second in the PAL. Northway ran the hurdles, high jumped, and leaped the broad-pit, while Davis was league champion in both the 75 and 150 sprints. Roger Stephens, when not competing in the varsity mile, led the B’s as he was among the best of the PAL in the 1320. Dependable Guy Johnson was also prominent in the three-lapper. Gene Peck sparkled consistently in the 330 and high jump, while Dick Kennedy was a come through performer in the 660. Rounding out the B standouts was low hurdler Mike Conner. Bill Mussen leads in the 880, followed by soph Roger Stephens. It’s up and over for High Jumper John Stewart. Dick DeVoco in the century homestretch.

This year's squad, termed the best in school history, annexed its eighteenth consecutive PAL championship with little trouble, and broke six league records in the process. Immediately following they recovered the NCS title with amazing ease. Probably the sweetest victories for the nationally regarded Norsemen were over annual rival Sequoia and the Berkeley Yellow' Jackets, who had snapped the Vikings’ 77 straight victory string last year. Another great triumph, 38 37, was registered over the strong Stanford Frosh, who were ranked high in the nation. If an individual standout had to be picked from the local mermen, one would have to use his own opinion as judge. All-American John Radford ruled the 200 freestyle as he posted a sizzling 2:00.5 record. Blond George Read continued to improve in the 50 free, and cracked the old mark of :25.2 by one second, :24.2. Shaking off early season blues, Ed Hardy rounded into form to capably defend his individual medley crown with a record of 1:43.9, while Winston Black breezed by his opponents to lower his century breaststroke standard to 1:07.3- Soph sensation Lynn Leigh captured the diving title, and Bob Ziegler completed the top standouts as he churned to a new record in the 100 freestyle, :55.1. Paly’s four-man relay team of Read, Ed Frapwell, Ziegler, and Radford remained the second best in the country, easily cracking the PAL mark with a 1:38.8 time. Other dependable performances for the Norse were freestylers Tom Hoogs, Harlow Rothert, and Francis Wright; breaststroker Colburn Wilbur, and backstrokers Lew lerman and Cecil Cutting.

Highlights in the Lil Vikes’ sparkling campaign were revenge victories ovfcr Sequoia, who had edged them, in a dual meet last year, and convincing conquests over Berkeley and Hayward, two dangerous non-league opponents. The' PAL and NCS finals proved easy going for the Green and White, as they dominated bo:h events handily. As in the case of the varsity aquamen, an individual gem woulJ be hard to choose from this year’s squad. Kal Holsti, Nick Schmidt, and John Kirschner came through in the freestyle races, with Holsti winning championship laurels in the 50 and 100. Jim Anderson preserved his breaststroke title as he butterflied to many wins, while soph Don Hampton did well in his own right. Jack Mott ruled the field in diving and the backstroke duo of Dickie Haines and George Webber provided a one- two punch for the strong Norsemen.

Although Coach Mike Durkett constantly juggled his starting team positions these players were outstanding whenever they played: Tumor first baseman Bob Hamlett, whose hitting improved with every game ; John Dickerson, fugitive backstroker from Nort Thornton’s 1951 swimming team W'ho turned in an excellent defensive job at shortstop and also performed creditably at bat; another junior. Ron Olmstead, who performed solidly at catcher, and third sacker Frank Mills, who held the team together with his hitting and his clutch pitching. On the mound Coach Durkett had a formidable one-two punch in lefty Jack Collins and Wayne Oakie” Davis, who twirled two one-hitters during the course of the season. The two formed a combination capable of beating any team in the league. The Norse opened the league s season by losing their fourth game in five starts to Willow Glen 1-0. They had previously been defeated by Moffet Field, Mountain View and Bellarmine while managing to salvage a victory over Fremont. With the opening game loss out of the way, the Green and White nine settled down to win their next six games in a row. Victories against non-league opponents Campbell and Fremont, a surprising triumph over the Stanford JVs, and the defeat of league rivals Jefferson, San Mateo and San Jose comprised the streak. To bring the season up to date the Vikings beat Menlo-Atherton and Half Moon Bay, drew with Burlingame, and lost to Lincoln of San Jose. The Palo Alto season record of 9 wins and 4 losses was certainly not indicative of the quality of ihe team. The Vikes seemed to have the knack nf beating teams they had no right to beat and losing to teams that were not in their class in ability. A practice session before the crucial contest with Sequoia.

TENNIS Bolstered with a good amount of returning veterans, Palo Alto’s varsity netmen finished their 1952 season in fourth place against a crop of outstanding PAL teams. In posting a three won, three lost record in league play, Coach Paul Engelcke’s Vikings volleyed out victories over Menlo-Atherton, San lose, and Lincoln. Burlin- game's champions bested the Vikes in their only shutout, 5-0, while a home-and-home series was split with Sequoia. Leading the Norse netters in singles was Roger Kees- ing, who turned in a good share of victories. Second singles man Roger Fleischmann was consistent throughout the campaign, and he was backed up by third racquetman Rowland King. Dana Bramel and Ken Doyle formed Paly's first doubles team, one of the best in the PAL, while A1 Keller and Pete Severson made a strong sec- ond doubles outfit. John Williams, J. Ames. C. Marshall.

GOLF ♦ At the time of the PAL championship tournament the 1952 Paly High golf team had not won a single match of their short six game season. Because of deadline obligations the Madrono was nor able io furnish results of the tournaments. The competition as a whole in the PAL this year was very tough, and though Coach William Hutchinson had a well bal- anced team led “toy returning veteran Roger Fleischmann, they could nor handle such topnotch teams as Burlingame and Serra High. Besides Fleischmann in the number one spot, the rest of the team was composed of various combinations of John Ames, Pet Brink, Chris Marshall, Loyd Maynard, Tony Hedge, John Williams and Jim Williams. The Viking linksmen ushered in their first league season in two years by suffering an overwhelming 20l 2-, 2 defeat at the hands of Lincoln at San Jose; however tne Norse Golfers pulled themselves together sufficiently to come within one half a point of heating the Lions in a return contest on the Los Alto course. The Vikings then lost the remaining four contests of the abbre- viated season, dropping two to Burlingame’s classy combination and one each to Serra and Santa Cruz High. s p o R T S H O T S Piggy-back. Paradise in the vanity-faculty basketball battle, as grinnin' Wes Feiher reaches for an elusive ball. More action in the faculty game as everyone jumps foi the spheroid. What’i wrong, fellas—you're beating Sequoia, aren't you? While Nort’s away, the mermen will play. As the final whistle blew to end Palo Alto High’s 1951-1952 sports year, Viking athletes had carved a glory trail of accomplishments which have never before been duplicated. Champion- ships were won in every major sport except track, which was lost by the barest of margins in the PAL meet through an ill-starred case of bad luck. However, the cindermen later proved their worth by grabbing the NCS Group II title from a field of strong opposition. Undefeated records were posted by the football, water polo, basketball, and swimming teams, and the baseballers came through as a Cinderella out- fit. It was a glorious period for local sports- writers, and editing sports in this yearbook was a particular pleasure. So, as a parting tribute to the Class of ’52, we close with a well-justified be- lief: This was the greatest sports year in the his- tory of Paly High.

Elsmore, D. Dunham, M. Caviglia, S. Maier, J. Salabert. The five Seniors in the picture above are the only girls in the school who have earned their star this year. It is very difficult to earn a star, because you must go out for almost every after-school sport offered during your three years at Paly. First you get your Block P, and then after the completion of three seven-week sport units, you get your Block Star. Each sport you go out for represents one unit or one hundred points. To earn your Star you muse earn nine units or nine hundred block points. The Block Star is the highest award to be earned in girls’ sports. MODERN DANCE CLUB A A A A A This club was just formed this year by a group of girls interested in Modern Dance. Anyone with an interest in dance may join, regardless of experience or talent. The club meets twice a week after-school and is taught by a Stanford student majoring in Modern Dance. She gives the girls instruction in technique and composition. Various members pre- sented dances at Sports Night, Girls' League Meetings, Parents Night and on other occasions. Sponsor: Mrs. Marion Rohrs. Modern Dance Club Offi- cers: C. Maita. M Schnei- der. N.

This newly formed club gives girls the opportunity to learn the correct techniques of riding, fvery Wednesday after-school, weather permitting, these girls went to Stanford stables where they had instruc- tion in jumping and show work, or if they wished, just rode for pleasure. The highlight of the year was an all-day ride. Sponsor: Mri. Marion Rohrs. AQUACADE The aquacade this year put or two perform- ances. The fine show was put on for the parents on Public Schools' Night. Later in May they put on a larger show consisting of solo acts, two group acts, and a grand finale. Both showings were a big success. Since the number of girls that could take part in the aquacade was limited to twenty- five, about half of the girls who tried out in the beginning had to be eliminated. The remaining girls worked hard almost every noon for about a month and a half preparing the show. The sponsor was Mrs. Rohrs. Front Row: L. Svihia, B. Simoni, C. Hcimerdingct, G. Becker, S.

The Aquacade SWIMMING The girls’ Swimming team this year had quite a successful season. Although after-school swimming comes in the spring, all out meets with other schools were held in the fall because that is when the other schools have their swimming. This team was composed of any interested girls who were willing to practice at noon for the meets. We had four meets, against San Mateo, Castilleja, Burlin- game, and Sequoia and won all of them except the meet at Castelleja. Sponsors: Miss Ruth Bennett and Mrs. Marion Rohrs. Front Row: L.

BADMINTON With a large turnout, this year's after-school badminton got off to a good start this spring. Tournaments were played in borh the Monday- Wednesday and Tuesday-Thuraday groups until each section came through with a paii of cham- pions. These girls, along with the other good players, played against Mt, View and won every match. Later in the season the team invited San Mateo to come to Paly where we won a good majority of our matches also. Sponsor: Miss Ruth Bennett. Front Row: M. Caviglia, D. Biondi, H. Mevious, M.
