Varsity Football For a small group, the Varsity Football team did a tremendous job, coming in third overall in league standings. They played doggedly against larger teams in pre-games, and then fought with their Pierce spirit in the league games. Mid-season, the mighty Bears had to make up for the loss of their quarterback by using different plays. The Bears lost to the two team teams that went to the playoffs. Coach Schroeder commented, This year was very successful! Sp sored by Marilyh and Frederick SWm :;:r ' ---- ,: ,.,.. V arsity Football 29 JV Football The JV football team had lots of courage and enthusiasm, coming in 5th over-all. Being a young team, the Cubs lacked the experiece they needed, but tried their best all year and never gave up. Coach Brumley said, The team always had a chance to win. They were always in the game, but sometimes they just couldn ' t get it together. The Bear Cubs did their best to uphold the fighting Pierce spirit. . l: 30 JV Football i.f Jit - m li) 31 J ' I i ■■ J154 m L - U- J r if JV FOO TBALL SCOREBOARD PIERCE 6 7 6 7 15 27 Colusa Sutter last Nicolaus Los Molinos Hayfork Durham OPPONENT 12 8 m. 20 il 20 O 20 14 Biggs Esparto Williams J , 40 sponsored by Phyliss and Linewood West 1.

The office was an interesting and challenging experience. One had the opportunity to deal with an endless variety of student problems on a one to one basis. Through this experience, it became quite apparent to me that a strong and progressive Student Council can be a tremendous asset to the general Student Body. It must follow, however, that an effective Stu- dent Council IS only the reflection of an interested and active student population- in short, one deserving the other. Sincerely yours, Steve Espinal 7. Steve Espinal, our Student Body President, displays his cheerful smile. 8.

She has received the Liberal Arts plaque and will continue in further competition all around Northern California. She ' s also working on her tree-climbing skills. Mary Kalfsbeek ' s second home is the library. Through reading everything she can find, writing books of all kinds, and expanding her vocabulary beyond extreme limits, the B of A award for English was awarded to her. Working closely with her assistant, Beatriz Hernandez experiments with deadly potions and swarming microor- ganisms. She, with the help of her assistant of course, has captured the science award. 72 The renowned explorer, Craig West, has studied the many coun- tries of the world. With his great knowledge and experience in the field of government and geography, how could he be overlooked for the Social Studies award? Clarke Ornbaun, a skilled welder and mechanic, not to mention an expert in precise fabrication work, is the big Industrial Arts winner. He has built a trailer using his skills, a cam bearing driver, lift kits, and many other things. Yes, Clarke is sure a handy man! Bonnie McCullough shows us her intense interest in foreign cul- ture by demonstrating a Mexican Hat Dance wearing the appropri- ate clothing. Bonnie was obviously a great choice for the Foreign Language award. Erin Hursh shows us her theory that two plus two does not equal 4, but 5. Einstein along with Mr. Bode disagree with her, but because she has not been afraid to profess her mathematical beliefs, the faculty has chosen her for the B of A award in Math. 73 T J i 1 Faculty The Pierce High School faculty and staff have done a teams have been victorious, our halls and rooms spot- tremendous job against enormous odds. They have put less, our campus neatly groomed, and our school vehi- up with naughty students, weak bladders, constant com- cles kept in good shape.

Money was hard to come by, so new clothes, appliances, and re everything else were rarely seen. This year started off the Great Depression. The Senior class of l: unfortunately couldn ' t scrape up the funds they needed to put out a yearbook that year, so those all imporp memories couldn ' t be captured and stored in a treasured yearbook. Because of their great loss, we.fl yearbook staff, have decided to dedicate our yearbook to the class of 1933. The members of the class of 1933 are Tom Sills, Bob Perkins, Leroy Sackett, Terry Tull, Glenn Myers, Rankin, Bruce Ruble, Elwood Chambers, Louise Miller, Gretchen Fisher, Arvilla Chisholm, Jessie Poundstii June Morris, Verda Lou Christian, Doris Stetson, Miss Frances Miller, Frances Wyer, Sarah Waltsins, Ei i DeBolt, La Vanche Christian, Cecilia Schohr, Addie World, Mabel Bertinsen, Clarice Hill, Leva Olivetti, Stcl ' Atran, Mr. Hollenberg, Danny Ryan, Lester Gammons, Bill French, and Walter De Bolt. 1.
