He is constantly busy as- sisting and directing students in their problems of self-government. Years ot experience in the educational field are daily reflected in his sound judgement and understanding ot school objectives. Mr. Bloomenshine has helped give Point Loma its outstanding standards. W ,K :task S ff Mr. Williams carried on the endless taslc of being loolrout and advisor for the boys of Point Loma. Under the official title of Vice-Principal he is the faculty advisor of all boys' activities. His ability has brought forth cooper- ation and appreciation from the students. Mr. Williams will al- ways be a great asset to Point Loma High. Mr. Robert Williams ADMINISTRATCRS Mrs. Mary Maul It is no simple matter to man- age nearly six hundred girls, but Mrs. Maull is the person who has done the difficult job well. She is the Dean of Women and faculty advisor for all the Girls' League activities. The girls of Point Loma have found in Mrs. Maull understanding and good common sense. She issued praise when praise was due and dis- cipline when the need arose. She has proved herself a worthy friend of all. wf----...... 5 - FACULTY Here is our very efficient faculty as viewed through the eyes of the departing seniors. Each having gained positive knowledge will always retain in his memory the amusing along with the serious. We should never forget the way Miss Gibson, Mr. Farrar, and Mr. Walt counseled us on our programs and future vocations. May the name of Mr. Lamott always bring to mind the aid he gave to the plans of the EI Portal, Harbor Lights, Announcements, Senior rings, Ditch Day, the Prom, Vespers, and Commencement.

Our democratic student body experienced the ruling hand of two vigorous seniors, Pete Fletcher and Bob Cornell. The annual Christmas A.S.B. Ball was presented under the able hand of the social committee, headed by Ginny Nelson. The mystery Santa at Snowflake Swirl held the interest of all as wise students tried in vain to guess his identity. Few knew that the mute Santa was none other than Big Ben. With the aid of Commissioners Dot Rimell, Charlotte Lester, John Fink, Bob Cornell, E. M. Oldham, Dolly Medlock, and Joan Garfield, Pete helped choose delegates to the Southern California Left to Right.

To add enjoyment to coming football games, the spring semester commissioners, Virginia Janney, Margaret Bartley, E. Old- ham, Clyde Jones, Dot Rimell, Julie Bixby and Mary Jean Zolezzi helped General Affairs Commissioner, Bob Cornell, decide which clock to purchase for the new gym. In place ot the Spring A.S.B. Ball, Dick Drummett, social chair- man, planned new entertainment for the whole school. Thus ended a year ot active government with our own com- mission. Spring Commission: D. Rimcll, E.

Dorothy Rimell, fall semester president of the Girls' League, and officers under her had a trial month of no senior privileges, which extended into the second semester when Virginia Janney succeeded her. An assembly was held where three propositions were discussed. In an election all of the sophomores, most of the juniors, and a few broadminded seniors abolished senior privileges once and for all.

Dog- patch Daze, ruled by Daisy Mae, Jeannie Miller, and Li'l Abner, Bob Monfort, proved to be an affair long to be remembered. Dottie and her committees should well be com- mended for giving a Sadie Hawkins' Day even Dogpatch couldn't top. The committees under Virginia's jurisdiction handed out M'l a Ehs Flow cards to violators of Yad Trelis. Reunion Romp that night was the happiest occasion of all for the girls had a chance to reunionize with their ever faithful men. This ended a most successful year of the government of the girls, by the girls and for the girls. 23 l H ,Q BCYS' FEDERATION Forming an organization for themselves, the boys of Point Loma carry out their activities through the Boys' Federation. President of this active gro-up is the Commissioner of Boys' Activities. Other officers are elected by the boys. In the first semester, the officers were P re s i d e n t, John Fink: Vice-President, Bob Smidt: Secretary, Howard Wiggins, and Treasurer, Bob Lee. La Pelota lthe balll was the dance given by the Boys' Fed- eration first semester. President for the second semester was E. M. Oldham.

With this practice terminated, it's time for first period and Boys' Glee. Anne Rees first semester and Sharon Baleria second semester accompanied while Mary Belle Brewer was the student director.

In tact many students were turned down. Something new! A boy director by the name of Don Clayton was chosen. Toni Harpst and Don as directors and Carmen da Silva and Lucy Thatcher as the able accompanists have many enjoyable memories of their days in Choir. Patrick Hanratty, Al Kildow, Ed Darden, Jim Wilburn, Pat Cline, Jean Wolfe, and Jane Titlow sang many memo- rable solos throughout the year. Pat Cline won a nation- wide contest and traveled to New York for a Week-end with Music. Point Loma was very proud to claim her as a student. Pat has done much outstanding solo work in her two years of Choir and one of Girls' Glee. The Choir sang at the San Diego Club for a Kiwanis Club luncheon, and at the Community Church at Christmas time. Each year these musical classes are striving to perfect their four big performances, Four Arts, Christmas, Easter, and Spring Concert. After the last performance of the Spring Concert a dance was given by and for the music department in the girls' gym. This topped off the year until graduation when there's always selected a senior Choir to sing. 73 Clirrrr' Frrrrr Arts Proqrarr Choir Girls' Glu basl-'r Progrnr Easter Progra P ... 9.99 F25 ir fx I 'i iililiif - - - GIRLS' CI-ICRUS The Girls' Chorus was developed out ot what was originally just a music class. There were eight boys and approximately forty girls in the group. lt was decided by the class that they would rather sing in programs than just for their own enjoyment. Therefore in order to obtain a complete group the boys were transferred and the Girls' Chorus was formed. Mr. Milo Wood, their director, helped the girls produce their arrangements in the PTA, Christmas, Easter, and Spring Concert programs. The honor of being their 'First student director and accompanist was earned by Pat Kiessig and Willie Van Gessel, respectively. Point Loma is happy to welcome the Girls' Chorus into the Music Department. With enjoyment and pleasure the Loman halls receive a full day ot music from its many musical students which comprise each outstanding group. Kir ca D H , H. Jopt, B. An 75 ORCHESTRA The Point Loma orchestra under the direction of Mr. Edward Janowslry received special honors this year and played an impor- tant part in school activities. In the Four Arts program, their 'First performance ot the year, they played Dancing in the Dark and Night and Day in a smooth, entertaining style. The orchestra also contributed selections from Handle's Mes- siah to the Christmas production. Star Dust was their out- standing number presented at the Spring Concert. For the 'First time in seven years the orchestra gave their own assembly at Point Loma, giving renditions of Remember, Jazz Pizzacato, Jazz Lgato, and Hayden Toy Symphony. Mary Virissimo aided as student director. According to our school musicians, the biggest thrill of the year was receiving an invitation to be the guest performers in the La Jolla High School semi-annual concert. Dimaris Howe, tirst violinist, was chosen to represent Point Loma in the AII Conference Orchestra at Sacramento during Easter vacation. The privilege of conducting the All City Orchestra was bestowed upon Mr. Janowslcy. The group, com- posed ot outstanding musicians from the tive city schools, played on Mother's Day at the Ford Bowl in Balboa Park. Gold three year orchestra participation pins were received by seniors, Kay Ketchen, Barbara Bennett, and Dimaris Howe. Silver pins were also given to those who were in the orchestra two years and bronze pins to one year members. Hebert, K. Kctchcn, D. Hows, B, Bcnnrtt, M. Colby, A. Hammond, dcrson, M.

Many hours after school were spent in dummying pages, checking proofs, and doing other essential jobs necessary to turn out a good paper. The highlight for the Pointer staff this year was POINTER DAY, held March 22. The three witches from Macbeth, Pat Wagner, Terry Rundlette, and Ruth Mantey, who rep- resented Mr. Lamott's home room, number 2I2, received first place honors in the character carnival. John Murphy, who portrayed Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, came in second. Third place was won by Barbara Alesch, who chose the role of Ophelia. Pat Parsons and Zona Arney guessed the greatest number of characters. They both received a S5 rize. For the second year in a row Jane Odinot and Bar- bara Madruga showed the school they were the best cake bakers by winning first prize in the cake baking contest during the Pointer Mixer held in the girls gym. Hats off to Julie for such a successful year of producing the Pointer! .QFF-gy A, l HI VAS -3 rs- Mcmbcrs of thi: - Cub Club CUB CLUB Writing for the PCINTER is not the only job for the students enrolled in the journal- ism class. The members of the class not only produced the school paper but were taught how to write for a newspaper. Many catch phrases were learned such as names makes news, deadlines, editorial slant, and freak leads. Students struggled to produce well-written, interesting stories. Learning the basic steps on how to interview people, writing headlines, editorials, feature stories, and news stories were a few of the lessons learned throughout the year. During the last quarter, two interesting activities kept the class busy. In May the State College Journalism Contest was held with the majority of the journalism students entering, and the annual Pointer banquet was given.

HARBCR LIGHTS Lorraine Frcrs Editor Harbor Lights, Point Loma's annual literary magazine, was published at the beginning of June. Managing editor, Lorraine Frersg Assistant Managing Editor, Robert Colby: Advertising Manager, Leah Jo Culver: Business Manager, Marilyn Monterio: Art Editor, Martha Southwell: and Assistant Art Editor, Charlotte Lester produced the I949 Harbor Lights under the supervision of faculty adviser Mr. William A. Emerson, and Art Director Miss Willa B. Brodie. The satires, poems, essays, themes, and ballads that appeared in the Harbor Lights were written in the English classes and the best were entered in the literary magazine. For the first time in its history, Harbor Lights had tull page illustrations. Use of a more convenient size of page was a new development this year. A tradition last year was continued in the popular Mixer given 'for all subscribers. A faculty trio, a pantomime, and a gay nineties style show highlighted the atternoon's fun.

Student leaders for the year were Gwen Hill and Sharon Baleria, presidents: Mary Parlrs, vice-president: Barbara Goldie, treasurer: and Mari- anne Odgen and Lois Atcheson, secretaries. The Y.W.C.A. Water Show gave the club an opportunity to exhibit their dancing slrills. Despite a one night holdover, there was demand tor still another performance. ln the Four Arts Program they interpreted three outstanding numbers, Dancing in the Darla, Night and Day, and a solo, Summer Time, by Gwen Hill. Kearny and Memorial Schools invited the club to give assemblies to inspire the starting ot similar organizations at their school. Teachers from all the city schools attended a dance clinic in our girls gym for this same purpose. Each member ot the club creates her own dan ces and is helped and worlced with by Miss Hilss. While making up a group number, everyone contributes ideas. Modern dance is excellent for learning poise, balance, and gracetulness. SI wt 04,4 r -Qi. Great Expectations, a dramatization in three acts by Alice Chadwick, was pre- sented in the auditorium by the Point Loma Speech Arts Department March I0 and II. The play was about Pip, a young man of great expectations, who gave food to Provis, an escaped convict, who later, out of gratitude, sent Pip to London to malce him a gentleman. Pip, however, did not lcnow who his benefactor was until one day when Provis came to see him. It was also disclosed that Estelle, the girl Pip had loved for years, is Provis' daughter. They finally get together and the story ends happily with Estelle and Pip tallcing over plans of marriage. The characters in the cast were mar- velously portrayed by E. M.

Two one-act plays, Ringing in the Groom and Antic Spring, were given, the latter in the Footlight Drama Festival. All worlc on these plays is done during class time. Youth Tallcs lt Over, a radio program made up of student panels from the different city high schools, gave Porter Baldridge, Hastings Garland, John Finlc, Ed Wallace, Jim Bell, Sharon Baleria, John Singer, and Bob Cornell a chance to voice their opinions on the subjects discussed. Point Loma was proud to have two first-place winners in the State College Contest this year, Dierdre Shannon for her dramatic declamation and Phil Whitacre for his extemporaneous spealring. Other contests entered were: the American Legion by Alexandra Clarlc, Lions Club by Hastings Gar- land and Lorraine Frers, and a radio contest by Bill Denton and Lorraine Frers. Ringing in thi' Grooml' A Gershwin Scvnc Antic Spring Many people do not stop to consider how important the back stage crew is and what a production would be lille without stage settings. To begin with each student sketches his idea of a stage setting and the class studies and votes on them. ln this way the best is chosen impartially. Then the entire class work on mating the set. Some of the best sets this year were the Great Expectations garden scene by Barbara Hilbun and Summer Time from the Four Arts program by Roger Anderson. Designing the program cover is also very important. Four Arts and Great Expectations covers were created by Martha Southwell while A Change of Heart was done by Carolyn Hagen and John Singer. Our congratulations to Miss Willabee Brodie and her class for doing such a fine job without much praise.

The season started with the gala Football Carnival in which Point Loma was defeated by Grossmont, 2-0. The next week, in a non-league game, Point Loma stomped Colton, I3-0. ln the first league game of the season, La Jolla, traditional enemy of the Pointers, defeated Point Loma, 26-6. The high point of the game for the Loman rooters came when Marsh Malcom ran 89 yards for a touchdown. A pass by Malcom to Ed Ferreira gave the Pointer squad a victory over Oceanside. Conversion by Gomez made the score 7-0. Coronado, the Lomans' next opponent, defeated the Pointer team 20-7. A pass from Izzy Luz to Perreria brought the only Pointer score. Loman boosters cheered in the Escondido-Point Loma game, when Clyde Jones caught a Cougar kick on his own I0-yard line, and raced 90 yards to a touchdown. Despite another touchdown by Ed Silva, and defensive tactics by the Pointer team, the Cougars won, 34-I3. Point Loma won the next game over Chula Vista, I9-I3. The game was tied, two touchdowns by both teams, until the last fifteen seconds, then a pass from Malcom to Hegerle brought the Lomans victory. Top Row, left to right: Coach Malcolm M. Gomes, R.

The future looks bright for Point Loma's golfers. ln order to include all boys in the sports program, an extensive intramural sports system was set up. Tournaments among the different gym periods were held in foot- ball, basketball, tennis, track, and baseball. Winning teams in one period played teams from other periods, until all competition had been eliminated. ln this way, good sportsmanship and a competitive spirit were developed. ftball Basketball Mclivnny, G.

A. A. The G.A.A. or the Girls' Athletic Association is one of the busiest groups in Point Loma. lts governing body is the G.A.A. Council which is made up of officers of the Modern Dance Club and the Lomanettes, while its president is the Commissioner of Girls' Athletics: first semester, Charlotte Lester and second, Margie Bartley. .Wifi ,ig . ' it iii? ' .nil Yi P7 f L H Swimming Class at Mission Bfach Plunge This year the various clubs of the G.A.A. were slow to organize due to the polio epidemic. However, the Lomanettes earned well-founded praise with their routines at the football games and carnival during the first term. The March of Dimes Drive was also an activity of the fall collecting more donations than had ever been assimilated before. Remember the various patterns the girls presented on the terrace during the drive? The second semester found this organization well under way and in- volved in all sorts of events. One of the first was Spring Fever, their annual success given this year on April 29th. Another was the G.A.A. Banquet in the Gold Room of the Grant. Here all the awards and letters were presented for the entire year with an invitation to attend extended to all Loman girls. A third activity was the Faculty Baseball game scheduled for the close of the year. Many turned out to see the male faculty mem- bers compete against the female athletes of the school. As a last service rendered, many of the G.A.A. members served at the All Sports Banquet given for all the lettermen. Everyone will have to agree that the Girls' Athletic Association is a group that Point Loma finds indispensable. 'illl KX F x 04, ii..

Little did these two school-minded students think that they had started a lasting tradition, THE BOOSTER CLUB. That was the beginning and in that tradition was the annual Bo-oster Ball, which was not held this year, much to the disappointment of many. The BOOSTERS are the ones who in the past have decorated the bleachers during football and basketball seasons. Under excellent leadership, their motto is a good one: Booster School Spirit!

Voice your opinionl Such is the motto of the S. O. Club. The members of this club meet every other Monday evening for lengthy discussions about the world in eneral. Speakers, paneTs, and debates add variety to these meetings. Two speakers, that will be long-remembered were Miss Conard and Derek Whitmarsh. Miss Conard spoke on her recent trip to Africa while Derek talked about life in a Japanese prison camp The officers for the first semester were President, Ralph Wilcoxeng vice-president, Marcia Jack- son: corresponding secretary, George Brolaski: recording secretary, Jerry Evans: and treasurer, Porter Baldridge. The S. O. banquet this year was as successful as the preceding ones. With Miss A. Bess Clark heading the group, they have had many gay times.

The members differ from the genneral run of students laround Point Loma, anywayl as their minds are what a few of us wish ours were. Mr. Candor's wonderful direction meant a lot of fun for all kids who joined this organization. Baseball, looking at the birds, and playing leap-frog were some of the activities the C. S.

The Y-Teens also gave two dances this year with other schools. Slum- ber parties followed these, and the girls really enjoyed themselves.

SCIENCE CLUB Have you always thought that only the brains belonged to the Science Club? Well, think again. There are many science majors who belong to this club. They all enjoy the club because it helps put science to practical and everyday use. Everyone was delighted when it was decided that they would make a trip to the Palomar Obser- vatory. Later other trips were scheduled to laboratories of scientific research, where they heard many interesting talks from people who are well versed in this field. The first semester officers were president, Derek Whitmarsh, vice-president, Betty Vatis: secretary, Andrew Christensong and treasurer, John Singer. John Singer reigned for the second semester with Pat Parsons as secretary: Derek Whitmarsh as vice-president, and Theresa Matley as treasurer.
