Prescott High School - Hassayamper Yearbook (Prescott, AZ)

Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1941 volume:

Foreword Picturesque, vivid personalities; clean-cut, well-built buildings; a campus rapidly growing into a thing of beauty; activities building healthier, happier young minds and bodies; a school for the Americans of tomorrow; our high school. . . This is the picture we have attempted to bring you in this, the 1941 Hassayamper. We have tried to paint in indelible inks the story of your lives in the preceding year, a paint- ing never to be erased from the canvas of memory; a picture which will live and breathe with the life which you have given it. This picture, this motion picture, seems to portray more concretely the hours, weeks, and months which we have spent here. It is a silhouette upon a wall, a series of table- aux presenting a drama lived richly, fully, something neither to be forgotten nor ever to be recaptured. Perhaps faint whisperings of remembered laughter, remembered tears, will breathe through these scenes; if so, our work will be a success. As one enters the dusky theater, he feels a thrill of anticipation, a feeling of pleasur- able waiting for that which is to come. As he leaves, it is in an invisible curtain of memory, of sorrow, of beauty or of comedy. If our book leaves behind it a feeling of friendship or pleasure, a sense of something young, vibrant, ready to face its future with clear eyes and a clear mind, we have achieved our aim and received our reward. Dedicated To . . . MISS LILLIAN SAVAGE Purveyor of tears for the frivolous, laughter for the grieving, teacher of graces, harsh- ities, slang, sophistications, things contradictory, sympathetic, brutal, brash, beautiful, the motion picture holds a seed of life for its audiences. It is the emotional outlet so terribly needed today. Our outlet is the dramatic presentation. It, too, is a thing necessary in the student's life; it offers a moment's relaxation from the grind of daily work. Our producers, dramat- ically speaking, are Miss Lillian Savage and H. T. Cox. With our book before us and the evidence of their work about us, we dedicate this, the 1941 Hassayamper, to Miss Savage and Mr. Cox, in appreciation for the work they have done for us. 3n jflemortam Dratf) has mabe 5?ig barknrgg beautiful toitf) tfjer. . ..

OUR PEOPLE, 1941 The unfolding of the great drama of life in Prescott high school during 1940-41; faces, faces, and more faces, each one individual, each one a separate personality; settings and backgrounds for the development of tomorrow's citizens. MR. McNARIE MR. DEAN MISS SAVAGE MR. COX MR. BACKE Chairman Publication� Dramatic� Dramatic� Mu� ic Dramatics, music, hobbies, educational clubs, and recreational activities have made banner headlines during the year 1940-1941. Under the direction of George F. Backe, music director, H. T. Cox, and Miss Lillian Savage, dramatics instructors, H. H. Dean, publications adviser, and M. J. McNarie, ac- tivities chairman, students of Prescott high have made school history in their respective fields of endeavor. These activities have not only given the participating students a chance to express themselves in their chosen field, but they have also provided many benefits to the non- participating students. These result from such general activities as the junior and senior plays, the publications, musical entertainments, and others which are enjoyed or parti- cipated in by the student body. Educational benefits of these activities are numerous. 7hrough the dramatics activ- ities, students learn to produce plays, manage stages, and, more important, to express themselves. Musical activities provide an opportunity for musically minded students to learn more about their chosen field in all of its aspects. Through publications many Pres- cott boys and girls have come to realize that writing can be and is fun. Even the purely recreational activities have given us social experiences which will prove invaluable in future years. In the following scenes you will find shots of these various clubs and activities, with explanations by the Hassayamper commentators. FIRST ROW: Virginia Gentry, Miss Cary, Miss Savage, Mr. McNarie, Judy Gibson, George McKay, Miss Cochran.

ACADEMIC AND SPEECH entries placed second this year in the annual contests at Flagstaff, taking firsts in United States history and serious reading, second in English, and fourths in general science and humorous reading. . . . INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB, one of the newer organ- izations, further aided its membership in bi-weekly meetings. World affairs were discussed and problems threshed out for the benefit, if not of the world, of the individual members. . . . DEBATE CLUB members, Betty Steed and Julian Briggs, won second place for Prescott in the annual contest at Flagstaff. The club under its first year of sponsorship by Miss Cochran, devoted the remaining time to discussion of the debate topic of the year . . . QUILL AND SCROLL, the nobility of high school journalism, consisted of a group of journalism students who believed that journal- ism was fun, but went farther than just thinking about it. For their superior work on the school publications, these pen-fiends have won the coveted Quill and Scroll award. . . . PERSONALITY CLUB, whose aim was to turn out ever lovelier girls, more perfectly poised, more immaculately groomed, was sponsored by Miss Wade. During the bi-weekly meetings, local women spoke on problems confronting girls. DEBATE CLUB FIRST ROW: Schroeder, Kindt. Bassett, Miss Cochran, sponsor. Steed, Pitchford- Sitler.

LIBRARY CLUB, sponsored by Miss Hardaway, worked dili- gently at the busy library desk, filing magazines, books, and cards, being generally helpful, and serving the hundred and one needs of the student body. Members received credits for their work. . . . CAMERA CLUB, amid much splashing and smearing, turned out negatives, prints, and blackouts during the year. Many snaps and athletic pictures in the Hassayamper owe their existence to the hard workina Camera club members. . 15 CLUB, a society composed ot nine seniors and six juniors, enjoyed its first year as an honorary organization. Members of the group were selected by the student council on the basis of personality and service to the school. . . SERVICE CLUB, proving a success in its first year, was organ- ized and sponsored by Mr. McNarie. Various duties, including ushering for games and parking cars, were performed with quiet zeal by the members of the organization. . . . COMMERCIAL CLUB was organized to prepare its members for work after graduation and to help commercially minded students. The club was active in making surveys and in studying and dis- cussing problems which students may face in the future. “15” CLUB FIRST ROW: Pentecost, Frerichs, Hill.

ANNUAL STAFF, with the help of their adviser, H. H. Dean, produced out of the confusion, raillery, and downright hard work of many staff meetings an entirely new yearbook. Candles were burned at both ends as industrious staff members tore their hair and eyed the deadline sheet in perfecting zippy copy. Two evenings each week were devoted to clipping, cutting, writing, and measuring until the completed annual was sent to the printers. . BADGER STAFF, 28 students who have a yen to see their work in print, enlisted their services as reporters and editors for the Badger, the official sheet of P. H. S. These students not only printed the Badger but also handled school news for the local and state newspapers. During the year these students studied the history of American journalism, modern trends in newspapers, types of journalistic writing, the functions of the modern newspaper staff, and the knowledge of newspaper problems sufficient to make them more intelligent readers. BADGER STAFF FIRST ROW: Briggs, editor, Bennett, associate, Walker, news editor, Bobo, feature editor. Akin, sports editor, Atkins, R. Born. SECOND ROW: S.

THIRD ROW: Love, Pitchford, Rosenblatt, Schroeder, Sdtler, Steed. 1941 • • • . . SENIOR PLAY. You Can't Take It With You, rib-tickling Kaufman and Hart comedy, came to life in a brilliant production last fall. A splendid cast portrayed the antics of the easy-going Sycamores, who believed in living happily regardless of convention. Their contacts with the dignified Kirbys carried the play to a surprise climax in the second act. . . . JUNIOR CLASS PLAY, the comedy thriller Captain Applejack, one of the greatest dramatic successes of the year, was given on March 28. Excellent characterizations on the part of Sherman Payne as Ambrose Applejohn, Yvonne Bowen as Poppy Faire, Courtenay Luna as Anna Valeska, Judy Gibson as Mrs. Agatha Whatcombe, Jack Thompson as Ivan Borolsky, and a strong support- ing cast made the performance a brilliant success. P. H. S. ASSEMBLIES scope was broadened and livened up by the addition of performers from the National Assemblies productions. The auditorium echoed to the strains of Hawaiian guitars and Egyptian melodies, and to faculty presentations and skit entries.

CHRISTMAS PLAY, Why the Chimes Rang, was produced with more than its usual success with the addition of new properties and costumes. Several school departments made more permanent the annual presentation with the construction of a cross and cande- labra, and other school owned properties and costumes. . . . STAGECRAFT CLASS, the backstage crew, was ever present at all productions, although all that was seen by the audience were the much bedabbed and bedazzled actors and actresses. Boys handled scenery and lights, and girls were the keepers of properties and appliers of creams. . • . BAND members have worked hard and continuously through- out the year to attain their usual high degree of excellence. Under the capable direction of Mr. Backe, the band has made many excel- lent appearances. Its many varied activities included public appear- ances at assemblies and home football and basketball games. The band received a rating of excellent at the Flagstaff music festival. . . . ORCHESTRA received high honors and praise as one of the best in the state. Among its activities was the pleasant atmosphere lent to the junior and senior plays. Prescott's orchestra received the highest rating possible, a superior, at the festival in Flagstaff. BAND FIRST ROW: S.

These pupils participated in the annual music festival in Flagstaff as well as in many civic affairs. Much of the credit goes to Mr. Backe, for his fine aid as director and instructor. . . . WOODWIND AND STRING ensembles have been a credit to a very proud alma mater. Their performances in Flagstaff brought the former an excellent rating while the latter received the highest rating possible, that of superior. . . . CHORUSES received this year an excellent rating at the music festival. Great praise has been given them for their performances in many school and civic affairs throughout the year. In addition to broadcasting over the radio, they presented music assemblies for the entire student body. Christmas vespers showed the remark- able ability of the choral group. This was broadcast for the first time on a state-wide hookup. Under the capable direction of Mr. Backe, the group has been acclaimed all over the state.

LETTERMAN'S CLUB, composed of the award winners in the three major sports, football, basketball, and track, numbered among its activities the general supervision of letter awards. Others in- cluded the annual dance, co-sponsored by the Yellow Jackets, and a spring picnic. . . . YELLOW JACKETS, marching at games, cheering for Prescott high when cheers were needed, and forming the Usherettes and the Drill team, were present in almost every phase of school life. During those hectic days last fall when no one knew who would win the next football game, the cheering squad was ever there, encouraging the team to greater victories. Sponsored by Miss Wade and Miss Childress, over ninety girls, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, belonged to the organization. . . . USHERETTES, developed under the auspices of the Yellow Jackets for the purpose of ushering at all school activities, proved their worth through their work at plays and concerts. Organized this year as an experiment, the group was not only exceedingly useful but was also a source of added color. Next year will see the organization handling enlarged duties. Picturesque in school colors, the blue of skirts and the gold of blouses, the girls were an added attraction at every performance.

DRILL TEAM, sponsored by the Yellow Jackets, climaxed their second year of successful performances, providing stirring enter- tainment between halves at games. Clad in blue slacks and gold sweaters, the girls made a colorful spectacle on the football field and basketball court. . . . MAJORETTES were six girls in perfect rhythm, twirling batons with matchless precision. All year the girls exhibited their talents between halves of football and basketball games, thrilling the spectators with their ease and grace. . . . YELL LEADERS competently led the Yellow Jackets in cheers that stimulated Prescott athletes during close football and basket- ball games. These girls, with unlimited vitality, originated new yells and pep songs. FIRST ROW: Statler, Tope, Reagan, Ros- enblatt, Larson, McNeill, Emmons, Steele, Bragg, Harsha, Burch, Widener, Potter.

Sport Highlights One of the most entertaining extra-curricular activities, for spectator and participant alike, is sports. Every school year the resounding smack of bodies, the sound of pounding feet, the quick chill of air against the face, (he pleasant solid sound of gut meeting ball, the soft spit of feet in cinders, the roar of the crowd, attract many enthusiastic followers from the student body. Sports stimulate and incite the energies and mind of the students; they make for better physical development and co- ordination; they give the student something to look forward to after long and tedious hours in the classroom. Here in P. H. S. we have a well-rounded athletic program. The physical education classes go into practically every sport during the school year. MR. PRATT MISS CARY MR. LON« MR. LAWRENCE On the Gridiron During the cool, crisp nights of October, 1940, Prescott fans witnessed some of the best football P. H. S. teams have presented in several seasons. Hitting their stride with a 7-6 win over Peoria, the next week the Badgers held an aroused Glen- dale team in the closing seconds of the final quarter for a second 7-6 victory. The following week the squad traveled to Jer- ome where the game was played in a sea of mud, Jerome coming out on top 13-0. The Flagstaff game was won easily with a 21-6 score. P. H. S. rolled up the highest score of the season against Winslow, 39-18. The game with Clarkdale was a see-saw affair, the final score being 6-6. The Kingman battle was perhaps the best of the eight. Prescott led 2-0 until the last thirty seconds when the King- man team executed a beautiful fifty-yard field goal, winning 3-2. In the final game of the season the entire Badger squad traveled to Tempe where the Buffaloes slammed out a 51-0 win. Letters this year were presented to Akin, captain, Corbitt, Cheek, Lawrence, Walters, R. Pearsall, D. Pearsall, Frerichs, J. Metzger, Groves, Boom, Stringfield, Morales, Alexander, Robertson, Nicks, and Hall. Individual honors were taken by Corbitt, center; Nicks, fullback; and R. Pearsall, who made the All-Northern conference team. Corbitt and Nicks made the first string, and Pearsall, the second. FIRST ROW: Allan, B. Metzger, D. Pearsall, Stevens, W.

Frerichs, Cheek, Stringfield, Turley, Coach Pratt, Lawrence, Boom, Jenney, Warren. Lettermen Martin Alexander, hard climax runner for two years, will be back for one more sea- son of line smashing. Billy Cheek, big, tough tackle, will be back for two more years of duty. Donald Corbitt, the team’s diagnostician, served his first year on the squad. Rex Groves, hard-hitting man at end, played his first year. Bill Lawrence is an up-and-coming pros- pect with two years ahead of him. Jimmy Metzger was the team’s offense blocker and has another year to serve. Bill Nicks, hard-hitting fullback, leaves this year after three campaigns in the num- ber four spot. Henry Morales, glue-fingered end, will be back another year for more excellent pass receiving. Donald Pearsall, backfield performer, al- so has two years left to play. Ronald Pearsall, an all-round lineman with two years of campaigning behind him, has two years still to play. Ralph Stringfield graduates this June after filling the tackle spot for a year. Donald Walters, a good all-round line- man, will be back for one more season. Herbert Boom scrapped and tore through his first year. John Frerichs, “fightingest” player for size, filled guard position for one season and will graduate this spring. Bill Hall, big and rugged tackle, played his first year on the squad and has one season left. Charles Akin played his last year after serving three seasons as leader and a spark of the team. Lloyd Robertson, steady on both offense and defense, played his last year. BELOW: Fast action in the Badger- Wolves game at Clarkdale last fall. Starting with entirely green material this year Coach Pratt developed one of the best teams Prescott has seen in recent seasons. With no returning lettermen, the team, with one exception, was com- posed entirely of juniors and sophomores. These boys had never before played together and were quite inexperienced; yet, before the season was over, they were rated as one of the best teams in the Northern conference. The season's scores are as follows: Seligman 23, Prescott 30; Payson 14, Prescott 17; Mesa 29, Prescott 22; Jerome 28, Prescott 13; Wickenburg 33, Prescott 22; Glendale 32, Prescott 20; Clarkdale 21, Prescott 27; Holbrook 44, Prescott 27; Winslow 28, Prescott 15; Clarkdale 27, Prescott 21; Flagstaff 21, Prescott 23; and Tempe 23, Prescott 24. Climax of the season came when the hoopmen traveled north to Flagstaff for the an- nual Northern conference tournament. The opening game was with the Winslow Bull- dogs, who were beaten by a score of 28-27 in a close, thrill-packed contest. In the second and third rounds, Prescott made short work of the opposition, winning from Flagstaff, 31-21, and Snowflake, 28-13, quite handily. These victories made the 1940-41 team the first in P. H. S.'s history to reach the finals in the tournament. The team played Holbrook for the championship, and the game was evenly contested throughout with neither team beaten until the final gun. It was a heart-breaking 29-27 defeat for Prescott, but the victory belonged to Holbrook. Donald Corbitt and Henry Morales, guards, were chosen as Prescott representatives on the all-conference team. Corbitt was chosen for the first team and Morales for the second. HKXKY MORALES Captain Under the Basket FIRST ROW: Morales, Kapp, Metzger, Payne, Martin. SECOND ROW: Krerichs, Allison, I).

Don Corbitt, cool under fire and a main- stay of the team, played his first season this year; he will return for one more year. Herbert Boom, first-year man with two more seasons to go, proved an exceptional defense man. J. Metzger, deceptive forward and marks- man, played his first season on the team this year, and has a year to play. Chris Allison, who played his first year on the squad, will be back for another season. Henry Morales, a first year man but captain and high scorer, will return for another season at guard. Donnie Pearsall, aggressive for his first year on the squad, will return for two more years. Eli Camacho, another first-year man with one season to play, is an adept rebounder. Basketball champs from Miss Childress’ homeroom: FIRST ROW: Duran. Fornara, Savoine, Simmons. SECOND ROW: Ange- leri. Stoker. Fast action under visitor’s basket during the Prescott-Holbrook game. Down Timber Trails Fastest growing and one of the most popular sports with boys and girls alike in P. H. S. during the last year has been skiing. In developing a number of talented hickory artists, P. H. S. has supplied the state champion PreSKImos, Prescott Ski club, with the back-bone and source of champion trail runners. Starting with 10 advocates three years ago, the club has grown to some 40 boys and girls of both junior and senior high schools. This growth has been rapid and a great deal of it is due to Mr. Long, the sponsor and coach, for it was through his en- thusiasm and untiring effort that the squad has made such a fine showing. High spot in the season was the three day state championship meet at Flagstaff, where the PreSKImos reaped a harvest of medals, win- ning 16 of 22 places. Eleven of these places were won by P. H. S. students. Climax of the event was the winning of the Midgley Cross Country race by a team of P. H. S. boys, John Nutter, captain, Jack Kapp, Wayne Frerichs, John Frerichs, and Bill Jenny. This team won over such competition as Flagstaff Teachers' college. Flagstaff high school, and independent teams of the Southwest's best skiers. The squad was unable to obtain letters this year because of inability to schedule two or more interscholastic meets, but the fame of P. H. S.'s thrill a minute club has gone nation wide. FIRST ROW: V. Frerichs, Kapp, Nutter, J. Frerichs, Jenney. SECOND ROW: Love, Boom, Lynch, Born, Kindt, Luna, Bowen, Bunte, Trengove, Allan, Cheek, Gray, Robbins. THIRD ROW: Holtzman, Mr. Long, sponsor, Lawrence. The Cinder Track Say, bub, how 'bout a ride out to the old ball park? With these words the track season opened. Rain hindered outdoor practice for the first few weeks, but the gym was an excellent place for the boys' workouts. At the season's first meet at Winslow, Prescott thinclads placed second. Several other contests followed. A number of the tracksters were rewarded by earning the required points for letters. The larger number of trackmen are new material and show promise for the coming season. Five lettermen returned with their acquired skills to furnish a core for the new team. LETTERMEN IN ACTION 1. Newell Clark, the leading half-miler for the second year. 2. Henry Morales, Prescott’s entry in the javelin and football throw. 3. Augustine Rodarte, the star distance runner of the squad. 4.

Hall. ;v' ________ RUTH BORN Chalking up victories for Prescot this year, 20 athletic youths and lasses wielded rackets for the tennis team. Working under the direction of Mr. Lawrence, the club started from scratch, having a core for four returning lettermen. Holding their places as top-notchers of the team, Ruth Born placed as number one girl on the squad, while Joe Love successfully defended his position as number one boy. joe love Handicapped by bad weather at the beginning of the season, squad members played their first matches with very little practice. Joe Love was trimmed, 3-6, 8-6, 3-6, by Snowflake at the Winslow Invitational tournament April 26, while the doubles team, Kapp and Lynch, won their first round at the meet but were eliminated by St. Johns in the second.

NORMAN MATHEWS President On the Range Constantly shooting high scores in match after match, the P. H. S. Rifle team defeated five outstand- ing Arizona groups. Meets were arranged with Tucson high school, Douglas high school, Miami high school, Bisbee high school, and with the Tucson American Legion. The team was defeated only by Douglas. They also competed in the National Rifle association and the Hearst Civilian Rifle contests. Norman Mathews, team president, achieved the unparalleled score of 100 out of a possible 100. Gertrude Fisher, sophomore sharpshooter, ran a close second with a score of 99. During the year the team developed exceptional qualities as sportsmen as well as good eyes for straight shooting. The War Department furnished all ammunition and targets that were used. The distance was changed from 100 to 50 yards. War Department medals were to be awarded to those who completed shooting in the four standard positions. The Prescott riflemen have not thus far been able to win a medal because of their late start in the fall. However, they have completed prone and standing work and will take up shooting while kneeling and sitting next year. W. J. Stuart, well known rifleman, each year awards medals to the five outstanding marksmen of the rifle team. Receiving awards this year are Norman Mathews, Gertrude Fisher, Ralph Davis, Mary Ethel Theobald, and Jack Murphy. Mr. Stuart has also given the club a permanent loan of a new Remington rifle to be used as long as the club is organized. FIRST ROW: Davis, Mathews, Sandefur, Mr. Lawrence, sponsor. Jack Murphy.

Besides the traditional grammar and composition, a thorough study was made of drama, poetry, essays, short stories, and novels, accompanied by corresponding original work. Journalism students practiced what they learn- ed by producing the Badger and Hassayamper and keeping the public informed on school activ- ities through the local newspaper. Such outstanding activities as assemblies, homeroom skits, radio broadcasts, junior and senior plays, vesper services, and participation in the Northern Arizona speech contests were conducted under the direction of the speech department, as well as some excellent training in public speaking.

The American history classes not only studied past history but kept abreast of current history through special newspapers and motion pictures. Bulletin boards, special reports, and a unit on vocations added variation. The Latin classes concentrated chiefly on gram- mar, using their textbooks and workbooks. English and Latin reading aided in enlarging their vocabularies. An extensive study w-as made of Latin words with English derivatives. The band, the orchestra, the choruses, and the various small musical groups gained both know- ledge and satisfaction from their class work as well as their many public appearances and parti- cipation in the Northern Arizona music festival.

The art classes learned artistic technique through a Christmas project, a lettering project, and a project for the redecoration of their rooms. Decorations for several school dinners were de- vised by members of the art classes. The library was the scene of much concen- trated study. The three individual study rooms, the magazine and picture files, and the many reference books proved great aids to study, while the many other excellent books provided general relaxation. After learning the use of such machines as the jointer, the lathes, and the saws, the shop classes produced tables, cabinets, magazine racks, and cedar chests. Class of 1941 The seniors, who were starred in Our People —1941, contributed much toward making it a brilliant production. Starting with a class dance, the great film por- trays the annual trek to the letter, which although sponsored by the senior class, included the entire student body. It had formerly been the senior welcome to the incoming freshmen. The contribution made by the senior class in the way of drama was You Can't Take It With You, an hilarious comedy portraying the life of a carefree family. As this thrill-packed film continues to roll through the floodlights of activity, we see the patriotic red, white and blue, which was the theme of the senior hop. A feeling of completeness has never been reached without a senior ditch day, and the graduates of 41 had theirs. As the film neared its end, a feeling of regret filled the hearts of the seniors, but the sadness of parting from friends and life-long schoolmates was greatly reduced by the thrill of marching down the aisles at baccalaureate services. Commencement found the seniors clad in caps and gowns, receiving their diplomas and a wish for the best in the strange new world which they have set out to conquer.
