To them we owe a debt, priceless, valuable, for they have died that we might live. They too walked daily through the familiar corridors of our Alma Mater, they too strolled the campus during their leisure minutes, they too felt that surge of pride as they received their precious high school diplomas, their lease on adult life-that life they were never to enjoy to its fullest CXIZCIII. These are not all who have made the supreme sacrifice, many others in this nation have paid the price for enjoying life in the United States of America, for being free to express their ambitions, their likes, dislikes, for attending excellent institutions of learning, for enjoying the opportunities, the rights, the duties of American citizenship. And there will be more who will give their all for the gift of liberty for coming generations. H But these are our heroes, and to them we lift our hearts filled with gratitude and pride, and salute them, MHail to Thee!

Yes, once again it's here! School life IS a circus-the joys, the tears, the excitement, the confusion we associate with the land of sawdust and pink lemonade are all part of the Ponce ,merry-go-round. The faculty trains us with the patience and skill of the circus ringmaster. We enter as freshmen, whose ignorance and antics remind everyone of the colorful clowns. The appearances and characters of the sophomores are as varied as that of the menagerie-the tawny coats, striped backs, the rage of the tigress, and the stubborness. of the zebra could easily be equalled by a glance at Ponce,s motley population. As the years pass, we gain the sophistication, the nknow-it-allnessv of the Barkers who bid us enter each door to the land of enchantment. So the juniors proclaim the wonders and the excitement of Ponce circusdom far and wide . . . And then, with a long, loud fanfare, the seniors appear: respected by all, they are recognized as the finished product, an example worth following. So the Slackwire Artists are marveled at by all who see them. One misstep and their whole world crumbles before them. As we enjoy the circus extras, the many sideshows, so the clubs and organizations, Ponceas sideshows, make our life more colorful and exciting. Without them we would lead a dull, drab life indeed. And how we idolize the M usclemen, those human supermen who amaze everyone with their deeds, showing daring and great strength. So -each Ponce fan cheers his heroes on to greater victory in the fields of sport. Look, here it comes! Even the many wartime shortages have failed to delay it, reminding us of the principle of all show business, 6'The show must go onf, The show IS going on, so letis see it all, read each line - guess how many surprises are in store for you! RINGMASTERS ff 5 x Our Principal Speaks THE AIMS OF THE PONCE DE LEON HIGH SCHOOL in general may be said to coincide with those of any good educational institution: to enrich the lives of those enrolled as students and to better fit them for the larger duties of citizen- ship in the world outside the school. As a result of the somewhat unique character of the com- munity in which our school is located, the problem of our high school is mainly one of preparing its students for college or other advanced study. This s-ituation has placed emphasis in the curriculum more upon the liberal arts and the sciences and less upon courses of strictly vocational character. The school aims to provide its students with a good educa- tional and social training for life and, to this end, numerous opportunities for participation in clubs, publications, dram- atics, debating, musical and literary organizations are aforded. Our traditions and our ideals.Ano picture can record. The achievements of learning and the attainment of character no artisfs pencil can portray. But the scope of our educational program, charm and beauty of our campus, and something of high school life may be partially shown. These we unfold before you. 9 0 0 HARRY N.

Four Who Burk The loudest Around the Big Top the Barkers really do a lot of hard work. Under the capable leadership of George Bedell they put on a carnival to raise money to give the Slack-Wire Artists a prom. The Legion Hall was the scene of this gala affair. Rain almost prevailed, but by some miracle it didnit. Prizes were given for the most attractive booths to the Wheel Cluh and the Glee Club. A marked highlight of the evening was the crowning of the King and Queeng this honor was given 'to George Pena and Ann Ellis. Candied apples, ice cream, hot dogs, and cold drinks were among the goodies that made the spectators groan the morning after. On May thirty-first at the Country Club the Barkers and the Slack-Wire Artists really had a wonderful time at the Prom. The Barkers sighed with relief at the thought of next year when they themselves would he honored. 'HD MBNAGERIE ' X 574 4 14C Q X f if 5,01 ':.

The Fiercest of Them All During the year's performance, the gay group known as the Me- nagerie has done its share in stealing the show. This popular crowd decorated the stage for the Christmas carol assembly and really did a nice job of it, too. Their ice cream booth at the junior carnival netted them almost 352000. The Menagerieis dance last April at the Womanls Club went over with a bang and now they have a good start to finance the junior-senior prom next year. Throughout the year this young class beat the Clowns, Barkers, and Slack-Wire Artists in volleyball and basketball. Last year David Mc- donald and Judy Mclntyre won the American Legion Award for being the outstanding freshman A's, while Bill Ward and Celia Watson, now sophomore B's, won it this year. Another achievement is the record of winning the most drives for the whole year. Yes, the Menagerie is an outstanding class. :PNN , I f I ,W 7, ' 1 I , , M 'wail , ff ,.,.ff ,J Pictured left to right are, hrst row: Alice Strong, Pat Walsh, Carmen Waggener, Felicia Wells, Marjorie Sum- mers, second row: Helen Stephens, Barbara Vernon, Jacqueline Unsworth, Jane Thomas, third row: Leon Taylor, Don Trafford, Edwin Tomlinson, George Strehlke, Bill Stephensg fourth row: Tom Sweet, Talbot Tram- mell, Bill Ward, Charles Vermillion, Court Vernon.

And so our own billposters, the hard work- ing-ever working Cavaleon staff, paint a banner of the school life to be pub- lished where the whole world can read it. The staff this year has tried to present a picture of all the activities under thc Ponce Big Topsthe work, the play, the joys, the disappointments. Their many hours of pasting, typing, reading, picture-taking, and all the little jobs involved in producing an annual are soon forgotten when they see the finished productf-their handiwork. Then, even the one with the smallest job is proud to have done his part. This year the Cavaleon staff was advised by Mrs. Helen Evans, and they are grateful to have had her aid and advice. Shown above at work are, seated: Jimmy Fielden, freshman editor, Barbara Rothschild, sophomore editorg co-editors Barbara Brau and Thomasina West, Phyllis Blakey, senior editorg and Alice Flagg, girls' sports editor.

Publishing a bi-weekly journal is not the easy task that it may seem, but it is handled efheiently and capably by these agents of the press, under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Evans, faculty adviser. Established in 1934, the Tribune celebrated its tenth birthday last October. The Ponce press agents have always done a good job, as proven by the fact that the Tribune has received many All-American National S h l ' P this time. c o HSIIC ress Association ratings in Top agents this year are Jeanne Bagley and Nancy Lefholz 9 eo-editors.

Show Managers To present student ideas to the faculty is the primary purpose of the Student Council, Ponce show managers. Under the direction of Miss Catherine Megibben, the Student Council has completed many pro- gressive projects making Ponce a better school. Sponsoring a 'LHey Day at Ponce start- ed the year off with that needed friendli- ness between old and new students. Honor roll pins and booster buttons also lifted the morale of the school. The Student Council initiated a new idea when they gave a prom for the February graduating seniors, and another by giving an Honor Roll banner to the home room with thc highest percentage of students on the Honor Roll each six weeks.

Scholarship, leadership, character, and service are the requirements for membership to the National Honor Society, and to become a member of this organization is the highest honor a student can attain. The society has two tappings each year in assembly, the new members being voted on by the memhers and the faculty. Mrs. Edith Mason is sponsor, and the present officers are: Bud Smethurst, president, Sam Daniels, vice-presidentg Betty Ann Harding, secretary, ,l ack Mueller, treasurer, Dick Groekford, corresponding sec- retary, Youth Center representative, John Cornell. Aces of the Arena As one of the oldest service organiza- tions under the Ponce Big Top, thc Key Club strives each year to work harder for the benefit of all the people of our school. Netting S375 for the Heroes' Phone Fund was the result of one of their first projects. Then the Junior Kiwanians sponsored a hall of fame, consisting of pictures of outstanding Ponce students, and also the annual intra-class track meet. Perhaps the biggest job of the year was their donating the War Mem- orial, an ice-water drinking fountain. Choosing their members on a basis of leadership and citizenship, the Key Clubbers are sponsored by the Kiwa- nians of Coral Gables, They are grate- ful to Mr. Carl Fien, faculty adviser, and Mr. Willard Ware, Kiwanis ad- viser, for their valuable aid and advice.

C. Cramley led his charges through one of the most successful athletic years in the hist- ory of Ponce de Leon. Ahly assisting Coach Gramley was John Noppenberg, formerly of the University of Miami, the Detroit Lions, and the Pittsburgh Steel- ers, professional football clubs. John Mohan and Ed Sylvia, both servicemen recuperating at the A.A.F. regional hospital in Coral Gables, offered their serv- ices and were gratefully received. Coach Gramley came to Ponce six years ago as physical education instructor, and the next year was elevated to the post of assistant coach. ln 1942, he took over the coaching reins and has done a fine job ever since. Coach Noppenbcrg joined the staff this year after a successful coaching engagement at St. Theresa s parochial school. Sergeants Mohan and Sylvia donated their services without renumeration and were a welcome addition to the staif. Gramley is also in charge of basketball and base- ball, with Ed Sylvia assisting in basketball, and John Mohan helping out in baseball. Assistant Coach Nop- penberg, in addition to his other duties, also handles freshman athletics. Pictured at right are: Head Coach Gramley Ctopl and As- sistant Coach Noppenberg. 92 Ponce de Leon's Red and Black warriors, successful in tive contests, completed a season filled with spectacu- lar games both at home and away. Jack Brasington and Bud Smethurst, co-captains of tl1e '44 eleven, were outstanding in their leadership and ability. Jack has been bestowed many honors since his enrollment at Ponce, hut reached his pinnacle when he was awarded Little All-State recognition. Fred Gahr, pass-snagging end and Jack's running mate, was accorded Little All-State and city acclaim. For being the most improved player on the squad, Fred received an award from the athletic department. Frank McNellis won the annual cup for heing the hardest worker on the team. Defeating Andrew Jackson and Miami Beach, the Cavaliers waltzed away with thc Little Three title under their' burly arms. These seniors made up the hulk of our team, and we hope that Jack Brasington, Bud Smethurst, Fred Gahr, Robert Rath, Walter Pierce, Frank McNellis, ' Judge Welch, Jack Mueller, Sam Daniels, Al DeFoor, Raymond Brown, Dave Keele, Jimmy Veber, and Doren Maxwell will have added success in whatever path they may follow.

Meeting Fort Lauderdale in their first encounter, the newly clad Bed and Black pigskin crew of Ponce de Leon were given a rude awakening 13 to 6. Highlights of the game were Captain Jack Brasington's 60-yard dash to the Lauderdale 5, and Roland Hodges' 70- Cf? yard touchdown sprint in the waning moments of the game.

A savage battle fea- tured this Orange Bowl clash, but Ponce managed to eke out a win. Next opponent was Gesu, whom we trounced 32 to 0. ,lack Baudenbush started the fireworks with a three-yard plunge into tl1e Promised Land, and from then on in it was retreat for the Purple Shirts. Three days later, the Cavaliers pulled another 32 to 0 rabbit out of the hat on Danials pasture. The Bulldogs were completely stymied as Ponce scored in every period. Following these two crushing victor- ies, Ponce met Ft. Lauderdale's power- packed outfit and succumbed 21 to 7. This victory clamped the lid on the Florida East Coast Independent League tighter than a pair of new shoes. .lack Brasington returned a Central High kickoff eighty yards to produce the Cavs' lone tally. Piling up nine touchdowns that counted and two that didn't, an in- spired Cavalier eleven buried the J ack- son Generals a good six feet into the Orange Bowl sod. With the Little Three crown just out of reach and needing only a victory over the Generals to grasp it, the lads overdid things a bit. The scorekeeper contracted a terrific case of writcr's cramp in tabulating a 58 to 7 tally. Dave Keele fired a 57-yard touchdown aerial into Fred Gahr's wait- ing arms to give the fans a glimpse of the most beautiful pass thrown in the Orange Bowl all season-but it didn't count. .lack Brasington scored 33 points on runs of 70, 71, 65, 13, and 2 yards, tossing in an extra point here and there, to make the largest total of any prep player in this district for a single game. 95 Riding the crest of that triumph over Jackson, the Red and Black Gramley-men strolled into the Burdine Stadium Wednes- day, November 15, and were bounced all the way back to Coral Gables, 21 to 20, by the Beach Typhoons. Trailing by one touchdown in the last quarter, the boys across the hay rallied to score two markers. Ponce crossed the double stripe once more just as the final gun sounded, but failed to convert. Following the Beach tragedy, the Ponce- ites traveled to the Land of the Lakes, and were held 13 to 13 by the Orlando Tigers. The entire team bowed out of the ,44 season in a blaze of glory. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Since the outset of hostilities in Europe, the United States armed services have asked schools to stress physical training. Ponce is fortunate in having the most fully-equipped gymnasium in South Florida. Among the apparatus are gym horses, several sets of parallel bars, and a trampoline. Boys who participate in our physical edu- cation program learn to march in formation, do calisthcnics to develop endurance, and play games to improve coordination. Shown below are members of our gym classes in action. 96 1 With only three lettermen returning, the Cavalier cagers completed a reasonably suc- cessful season. ln playing sixteen foes, Ponce took seven games for a .467 average. Our initial opponent was Redlands, whom we took into camp, 35 to 23. Boho Rath fiipped in sixteen points from all angles to lead the scoring. Next on the roster was Homestead's Growers. They downed us 4-8 to 26 in a hard-fought contest. Harry Bishop and Bob Sullivan of the downstate men were high for the night. Ft. Lauderdale's crack team proved to be too much for us as we succumbed 35 to 26 on the upstate court. The Ponce cage crew was in the rear the whole way but managed to close the gap slightly in the final period. With Bob Tesher throwing twelve points through the hoop, Miami Beach rolled over Ponce de Leon on the seaside Hoor 4-4 to 27. Jack Brasington tallied twelve points to lead the Cav attack. Edison's powerful juggernaut left another team in its wake Friday, January l9, at the expense of Ponce de Leon. '4Macky ' Mac- Donald poured nineteen points into the bucket to lead the winners. Ponce's shooting fell to a miserable low as the boys missed bucket after bucket. After four successive defeats, the Cavaliers turned the tables on St. Patrick s scrappy outfit on the Shamrock court, 34 to 25. An- other victory was added to the Fightin' Five's string in Lake Worth to the tune of 33 to 23. Jack Brasington outscored all op- ponents with seven field goals and a charity toss. Tallying three points in an overtime per- iod, the gay Cavaliers hoodwinked Andrew ,Iackson's green wave 27 to 24. Dick Cassidy, stellar Ponce guard, scored the winning points. Miami Beachis Typhoons rampaged on a seventy-point scoring spree Friday night, February 2, while holding Ponce to thirty- four tallies. The bay-side emporium re- sounded with the swishing of the net as 104 points fell through the ring.

Then Gesu invaded our NC8llStll8l1iCS-C3SllB,7 and walked out with a 39 to 32 victory under their arms. The seven-point deficit in the Ponce column was due mainly to Johnny Grappois accurate twenty-point performance. ln another out- of-town encounter, the Cavalier quint de- feated St. Patrick in a return engagement. Coming back for a second helping, Red- lands Diamondbacks were beaten 41 to 2l by an inspired Cavalier foe. Redlands used a speedy offense, but were not shooting ac- curately enough to outsmart the Gables boys. 97 Lengthening their lead in the final seconds of play, Edison's Big Ninei' championship team edged a dogged Ponce quintet, 40 to 27. With but four minutes to play in the game, the Lemon City slickers led by one meager point, 27 to 26. But experience told the tale in those trying moments and the Raiders came out on the left hand side of the ledger. Evenly-matched games may be fun to watch, but they're tough to lose. At least the Cavaliers thought so when they were jolted by Jackson 36 to 35 in an overtime thriller played at the Edison gym. Biggest upset of the season came when Kentucky Military lnstitute's crack cage quintet visited our perspiration-parlor and were rudely kicked 31 to 29. The K.M.l. basketeers led all the way till the last quarter, when the Ponce cagers got to work and shoveled twelve points into the bucket while tying up K.M.I. with six. Center Tilson scored twenty-two points for the visitors, while .lack Bras- ington swished the sphere five times through the ring to pace the home at- tack with ten points. Ponce's Baby Cavaliers, the BM squad, defeated a majority of their opponents, as did the freshmen, who reached the finals of the district junior high tour- nfllllent. Seniors leaving the team this year are .lack Brasington and Bobo Rath. Fred Gahr is the only HB squad member graduating. 98 Playing eleven night games here and six day games away, P0nce's baseball team encountered a record num- ber of opponents for any one year. Remaining from last year's squad were just five lettermen. They were Bud Smethurst, Dutch Kirkland, Ray Pierce, Dick Fandry, and Tom Day. Scattered around the in- field this year were Kirk Westcott on first base, Dutch Kirkland at the key- stone sack, Talbot Tram- mell at shortstop, and Ray Pierce holding down the hot corner, third base. Following are the games and the results: Against Ponce OPP- Redlands 7 0 Lake Worth 0 2 West Palm Beach 6 5 Ft. Lauderdale 5 4 Homestead 3 9 Edison 3 9 Miami High 2 6 Redlands 9 3 Ft. Lauderdale 6 3 Edison 5 4 Lake Worth 0 3 West Palm Beach 4 9 Miami Beach 3 7 Andrew Jackson 6 3 Andrew Jackson 13 l Miami High 1 4 Miami Beach 3 0 In the outfield were Dave McDonald, Jack Keena, Bud Smethurst, Julio Clarke, Dick Fandry, Fred and Rob- ert Scheiss, Ray Pierce, Tom Day, and Kirk Westcott. Stepping up to the mound this year were three new- comers and two lettermen. Bud Smethurst and Tommy Day pitched for the Caval- ier sackmen last year. These two lads have plenty on the ball and completed a successful season. Bill Dav- is, fresh from California, is a curve-ball specialist. A southpaw, he won three and lost three games this sea- son. Dave Callender, a right- hander, won one game this year. He has a nice hook and a swift ball. Vic Dacy, the other freshie, also played good ball. ' Dcmaldea Behind the plate was sophomore Jack Keena. Dave McDonald also caught sev- eral games. .lack Keena led the bat- ting with a .425 average: Dutch Kirkland seconded with 343, and Dave Mc- Donald batted .311.

With four lettermen returning, our net chances looked very bright at the time of this writing. Four opponents filled the '45 tennis slate. First the netters met the Beach racqueteers at Flamingo Park, then Fort Lauderdale's fine team visited us at the Coral Gables Country Club the following week. Miami High was next in line, and the Gables netmen played them at Henderson Park. ln their final match of the season, the Cavaliers met Edison on the Country Club courts in our other home contest. Sam Daniels, resuming his '44 number one position, led the Cavalier netters. In the order named, the rank- ings went from one to seven, Sam Daniels, George Cor- rigan, Gerald Monsalvatge, Pic Brannon, Jay Clarke, Bob Miller, Tom Blakey. However, Sam, George, Gerald, and Pic are the returning lettermen. To the state tournament at Rollins College Ponce sent up four players early in the month of May. They had a good opportunity to come home victorious. Manager of the tennis squad this year was George Corrigan. The seniors who graduate this year will leave a large gap in the tennis lineup. Sam Daniels, George Corrigan, Pic Brannon, and ,lay Clarke have all played an excellent brand of tennis, and replacements for them will be hard to find. is ,f,Hffv. 1 iii fix ' C.A.A. officers for the year of 1944-45.

CURVETTES CATHARINE SAMPLE G.A.A. SPONSOB Since she has played a memorable part in our lives, we wish to dedicate this sec- tion to Coach Catherine Sample. Those girls lucky enough to have associated with her will never forget her able coaching and friendliness with everyone she con- tacts. Because of her desire to instill in her players her own ideas of sportsman- ship and clean living, Mrs. Sample has again achieved a successful season with the girls. We might not have come out on lop everytime, hut Ponce was always tops in sportsmanship. ARCIIEBY GIIUUP GIVES AWARDS Archery awards were given to the girls for the first time this year. A lot of talent was found in our bow and arrow group. Many girls learned for the first time how to shoot accu- rately, from others who had partici- pated in previous years and who took part in camp archery. This sport is destined to take an active place in Ponce activities. 102 .vo TEAMS WIN THIRD IN V-BALL Volleyball girls went to the Dade County Tournament to take third place in three divi- sions: Senior A and B and Freshman A. Before the tournament an inter-school meet is held among the seniors, juniors, and sophomores. This gives all an opportunity to show their abil- ity. The winner this year was a sophomore team, captained by Felicia Wells. Second place went to the senior team, led hy Sally Hunter. L I j BASKETBALL TOPS YEAIFS PRACTICE Giving out more and better effort than ever before, were the girls who went out for basket- ball this year. As usual an inter-school tourna- ment was held among the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. This tournament turned out to be one of the most exciting of all. lt was close all thc way through with a sophomore team win' ning. This team was led by Captain Carolyn Cribbcn, who was also top scoring member of the teani. The seniors gave her a close run and came in second with Sally Hunter as captain. ,J SUFTBALL EXPANDS More than ever before turned out for softball this season. Softball is becom- ing one of Ponce's most outstanding sports, along with basketball. Quick thinking and skill are two qualifications needed to play softball, and the girls showed that they had this ability. The teams this year proved to be as good as any Ponce has had for several years. 103 jx DANCING-TUMBLING Several classes received instruction in Modern dancing, learning poise and grace. W'hat these students learned was noted by others in their various activities, and mod- ern dancing became the topic of many dis- cussions throughout the year. Tumbling held its place among activi- ties, too. The girls seem to enjoy doing stunts and find much pleasure in partici- pating in this field. Tumbling helped the girls learn balance and the importance of a physically fit hody. 104 Qt DP IlADMINTON PLUS TRACK Badminton this year added many happy hours for the fans. Several Went to the Dade County Tournament and saw Patty Spry take the first place honors. Nancy Gramley. also in the singles, took third place. Thus Ponce was well represented in the winning hracket. Four groups of doubles were en- tered, too. Much excitement took place in track. The run-offs were held in school hefore the tour- nament. Therefore, only the hest material was entered in the final meet among all the schools in greater Miami. ....g-ni M1-sxzgx GO 'f EIN RG , D 3 D 0 4' q I If 4 cr 6 ..- E .gn-I 0 Comfy, honey? . . .
