Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1952 volume:

Dedication We, the class of 1952, dedicate El Ano of 1952, to in deep appreciation of his work with us as we progressed through Ramona High School. We have been closely associated with Mr. Snell in his classes of World History, Spanish I and II, and Senior Problems. Since we have often been trying, we have appre- ciated Mr. Snell's calmness and perseverance, and want him to know we appreciated his help on our perilous trip through Ramona High School. The Well Wisher Annual Drive this year was charac- terized by class competition between the Seniors and Juniors, which resulted in high spirit. The Juniors won the Drive with a grand total of $270. While the Seniors were close behind with $258. Beverly Perry, the Junior Class President, was se- lected os their winning candidate. Beverly is popular with her fellow students and has a pleasing personality. Eileen McDonald was the runner-up nominee for the seniors. These Foolish Things Annual Committee This year the annual committee was composed of the mem- bers of the English IV class, aided by Beverly Bernhard as Business Manager and Jerry Eller and Judy Alford in the art department. Mrs. Forest was the group's able adviser Mr. Shiner turned shutter bug for the occasion. Serving on the committee were Gloria Hughes, Ellen Brown, Kent Ark- ley, Marilyn Morris, Cheryl Kerr, Margaret Hancock, Marie Henry, Eileen McDonald, Joan Evans, LoWayne Kay and Dick Dougherty. £ A C Congratulations to the graduating class of 1952. Your graduation is the culmination of twelve years of determination and persever- ance. Most Americans do not have the fortitude to graduate from high school, but you have fought the good fight and finished the course. You will always belong to the Ramona High School, and it will always be part of your life. We shall miss you from our school, but you will remain in our thoughts. Very shortly members of your class will be scattered to many parts of our world. Some will be in the armed forces and will see service in distant climes. Others will be fortunate enough to continue their education in colleges. Others will find employment to help build America in these critical years through which we are passing. Wherever you are, write to us occasionally and give us the privilege of continuing our friendship. To all of you, good luck and God bless you. Superintendent’s Message Rob'r’L Do''9h,rty Board of Trustees Left to right: Mr. Dvkes, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Warner, Mr. Elliott, Mr. Romine. As we see you, a fine group of graduates, file slowly down the aisle of daisy chains, up to the platform, on your high school graduation night, we school trustees feel as proud of achievements ond honors conferred on you as your own parents. That moment we have a feeling of recompense for all our time, efforts and thoughts in trying to give you the best possible educa- tion opportunities while in our local schools. We hope that whatever you may do after your graduation here, you will take full advantages of all opportunities around you to learn more. Today's opportunities are tremendous — business schools, trade schools, armed forces special training courses, adult education classes, magazines ond books, and partici- pation in community service, to name but a few WARMEST GREETINGS TO CLASS OF '52 Thanks For the Memory Faculty MR.

Long, Long Ago Out of the 30 children that started in the first grade in 1940, a third remain to graduate with us— Bob Bivens, Nicky Harrison, Lowell Fuhrman, Morton Jones, Kay West, Marie Henry, Fred Schanke, Barbara Whigam, Ernestine Stockalper and Callaway Baker. When the next year rolled around, LoWayne Kay joined us from La Habra, and in the 3rd grade we acquired Margaret Hancock from Minden, Louisiana. Patricia Cook came from Los Angeles in the 4th grade, Eva Rivers from Escondido, Cesario Martinez from Colton, and Eileen McDonald from Glendale enlarged our 6th grade. Ellen Brown from Los Angeles; John Hartwell from San Diego; Dwight Miller from Lincoln, Nebraska; Mary Jo Smith from National City, and Wayne Hill from Coronado arrived in the 7th grade. Cheryl Kerr from Escondido and Gloria Hughes from Boston came in the 8th grade, giving us a total of 42 students, the largest class as yet to graduate into Ramona High. Jackie Batte, Pacific Beach, and Boris Dobrotin from Sunland, joined us in time for our Freshman Reception. We had a barn dance soon after and spent our profit the next week on a class party. Our class participated in the Carnival and ended the year with a beach party at Oceanside. Arriving in time to help us give the freshmen a bad time at their Reception, were Dick Dougherty from Redlands, Joan Evans from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and Mervin Huston from Coachila. Besides participating in the Carnival, we had a skating party and a beach party. Seniors at last! Complete with maroon and gray sweaters to prove it. With our sweaters came Ardith Cole from Turlock, Marilyn Morris from Covina, c nd Ann Bowen from Escondido. We worked on the Annual, gave a Senior Ploy and then came Ditch Day. The Juniors honored us at the Junior-Senior Prom, and then the day of days . . . Graduation. So in parting we say, So long, it's been good to know ya! Our Junior rings arrived almost as soon as we did. We hod another skating party before we settled down to work on the Junior-Senior Prom and sponsor a booth at the Carnival. Class Prophecy Auld Lang Syne Up the street from Marie's Drug store, Ellen Brown and Gloria Hughes opened a Restaurant. Gloria serves the meals and Ellen works at the fountain making her special hot chocolate, strawberry, double decker sundaes. Up the street from Gloria and Ellen, Eileen Mc- Donald has an exclusive dress shop. Her specialty is designing cheerleading outfits for the High Schools in California. Next to Eileen's Mary Jo Smith has leased the old Turkey Inn for a dance studio. The old Ramona theater has been remodeled and is now a burlesque owned and operated by Bobby Bivens. He selects his chorus girls personally. Fred Schanke owns o charm school where the Snack Shack used to be. Fred told me that Ernestine Stockalper is his beauty expert and Joan Evans is his lecturer on How to catch a college man in 5 easy lessons. He also said that Cesario Martinez is lectur- ing on how to peroxide hair beautifully. When I left Fred, I ran into Kay West, and he told me that he is now writing Advice to the Lovelorn for the Ramona Sentinel. He also told me Morton Jones is the owner and Dwight Miller covers the Men's Society Circle. Down the street Boomer Huston has a used car lot on which he is trying to sell a beat up old 1951 Ford. Barbara Whigham is his chief saleswoman. Boomie is the only person in town who employs women only. On my trip back home I couldn't go away without visiting my dear old school. I found out that Marilyn Morris is the new Superintendent, Dean White is the Dean of Boys and Jackie Batte is the Dean of Girls. Ann Bowen is the P.E. teacher and LoWayne Kay is the Arts and Crafts teacher. Marilyn told me that the school board members were coming and she thought that I would like to see them. When they walked in I saw John Hartwell, Nicky Harrison, Eva Rivers, Ardith Cole and Wayne Hill. Dick Dougherty is the Vice-President of Boris Debrotin's chemical plant just south of Ramona The critical world situation cut my visit to Ramona short, but I enjoyed seeing everyone again. 21 Senior 53 Wills P m t= r =Ji.. t Everything I Have Is Yours WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1952, BEING OF SOUND MIND (NO REMARKS PLEASE), AND WELL IN BODY AND SOUL, AND REALIZING THAT THE END IS FAST APPROACHING, DO HEREBY DECLARE THIS TO BE OUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT. THIS DOCUMENT FURTHERMORE DECLARES THAT ALL PREVIOUS WILLS, CODICILS, AND TESTI- MONIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER ARE NULL AND VOID FOREVER. MOREOVER, SHOULD ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS BE PREDICATED IN THE FUTURE, WE DECLARE THAT THIS WILL CANNOT BE IM- PROVED, ADDED TO, NOR AMENDED. THE VARIOUS HEIRS LISTED HEREON ARE DECLARED TO BE THE IRREVOCABLE RECIPIENTS OF OUR PRE DECEASED GENEROSITY. MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULSI The Senior Class itself wills to the Students and Fac- ulty of good ole' R.H.S. the love and understanding that has been given them through the four years of their sentence. The Senior Class wills to the Freshmen their knack of making underclassmen welcome to our hallowed halls. After having a successful cruise in the Pacific, I, Lowell Fuhrman, decided to come back to Ramona for a few week's rest. I hadn't been home since I joined the Navy and became an Admiral. Ramona and the surrounding area has become so populated that it is now a county. Ramona is now the 5th largest city in the world. The main street has changed so, I didn't recog- nize it, but the weather is the same. I dropped in at the Santa Maria Pharmacy and ordered a small lemon coke. Some people were talking to the left of me, and I heard them mention the name of Pat Cook. They said that she has just been elected Chief Justice of Ramona. I finished my coke and was about to pay when the owner, Marie Henry, said it was on the house. Well, I got to talking to her, and she told me that Callaway Baker was now manager of the Santa Maria Valley's famous night club, the Sagebrush Inn. Cheryll Kerr is the bouncer, and Margaret Hancock and her dance routine is the feature attraction. We will to the Sophomore Class all dignified and mature ways which we have displayed in the halls, going from one study hall to another. To the Junior Class we gladly will our unpaid debts acquired through the continuous entertainment we seemed to need. I, CALLOWAY BAKER, will my hot rod to Beverly Bornhard so she won't have to wollc to the bonk.

The many improvements have not only improved the student's mind, but also his spitball aim. If we should look back, back upon the years gone by we would find that along with these improvements the junior class has fared quite well. It might be inter- esting to note that eight pupils of this class, going to Ramona High School today, started out together elev- en years ago in the first grade. They are Judith Alford, Verna Burdick, Bruce Fuhrman, Ralph McIntosh, John Muir, Stella Shindlebower, Anita Soule, and Jack Steffy. This class has participated in all the activities of the school, and its programs are many and varied. In its sophomore year it sponsored the freshmen recep- tion. This year the junior class put on the Senior Prom, the most important and looked forward to event of the school year. The junior booth at the carnival has always been a high spot, and this year was no excep- tion to that standard. The junior class boasts four members of the C.S.F. and is outstandingly represented in the various other organizations of the student body. Also it has a strong representation in the field of athletics. As a whole the junior class is cooperative and eager to work for the welfare of the school. Its mem- bers are conscientious and on hand at all times to assist at any task. In drives, contests, etc., the juniors are usually found at or near the top. We find that these fine qualities are due chiefly to the many improvements in our schools. The books ore more varied and comprehensive, the beanshooters easier to conceal, the teachers can endure more and are more understanding. The Class of '51-'52 had a very prosperous year. We had a food sale. The food was donated by the mothers, and some was made by the girls and boys of our class. We sold peanuts at most all of the school sport events. At the end of the first semester we had just enough to pay for our annual picture and the junior- senior prom. The major-event of our class was the freshman re- ception. We treated the victims, excuse me, freshmen, in a manner very common to them. We let them wear bibs and bonnets, and gave them their basic food, which is of course pablum. The reception added to our funds, because we sold cake, soft drinks, and tickets, which paid more than our expenses. Officers elected for our class in the 1st semester were: Guy West, President; Kenny Huston, Vice Presi- dent; Joan Henson, Secretary; Evelyn Richardson, Treasruer. This semester's officers are: Bob Johnson, Freshmen President; Bob Darrow, Vice President; Kenny Huston, Secretary; Evelyn Richardson, Treasurer. Miss (Buster) Wi|kinson ably led our class, giving us advice or help whenever it was requested. The classmen remaining from the first are Noreen Carrisoza, Donald Carlson, Walter Shmidt, Evelyn Richardson, Belva Oakes, Louise Johnston, Helen Snell, and Ardith Giddings. Since then we have gained many and lost some. The sophomore class is now very well represented in G.A.C., C.S.F., F.H.A., F.F.A., in the cheerleaders, letterman's club, Calif. Cadets, Annual Staff, the glee club, and the student council. Some of the leading participants in football, basketball, baseball, and track teams were from the sophomore class. Some of our classmen held offices in various clubs and organi- zations outside of school.

The class this year was started off with days of initiation, followed by the Freshman Reception, and we had a lot of fun. Our first semester class officers this year were Charles Clayton, President; Kenneth Kinch, Vice Presi- dent; Donna McIntosh, Secretary; Bob Stockhalper, Treasurer. For our second semester we voted Kenneth Kinch as President; Art Alford, Vice President; Sandra Knight, Secretary; Marlene McKenzie, Treasurer. With such a successful year behind us, we are anxious to become Sophomores and upper classmen. Girl’s League Under the able leadership of Mrs. Ruth Shaw, the Girls' League had its usual busy year. The main events were the Sadie Hawkins Dance, Basketball Dance, Mother's Tea and the traditional Daisy- Chain at graduation. Officers of the group are loWuyne Kay, President; Gloria Hughes, Vice-Presi- dent; Ellen Brown, Secretary; Joan Evans, Treasurer; Marie Henry, Member-at- Large; Barbara Whigham, Reporter, The G.A.C., which was organized in 1948-49, is a club to give recognition to the girls who are outstanding in scholar- ship, athletic ability and citizenship. The officers for this year are: Margaret Hancock ............... President Gloria Hughes.............. Vice-President Ellen Brown..................... Secretary Ernestine Stockhalper............Treasurer Girl’s Athletic Club Students of the Month The Ramona chapter of the California Scholarship Federation is a unit in a state-wide honor society. Its most important duties are to encourage higher scholastic attainment and to promote better fellow- ship among sudents. Some of the projects for the year have been selling candy during lunch period and buying books for the library. The officers for the first semester were: President, Kent Arkley; Vice-President, Joan Evans; Secretary, Ellen Brown; Treasurer, Beverly Bernhard. Second semester officers were: President, Joan Evans; Vice-President, Jack Steffy; Secretary, LoWoyne Kay; Treasurer, Clark Herring. The Student-of-the-Month pin is a recent award given by the Parent-Teacher Association. A student is chosen for his scholastic standing, citizenship, cooperative attitude, and school spirit. Virtue is supposed to be its own reward, but the following students think it very fine to have received this recognition: Virginia Baldwin — April, 1950 Jack Steffy — May, 1950 Joan Evans — October, 1951 Kent Arkley — November, 1951 Margaret Hancock - December, 1951 Bob Bivens — January, 1952 Barbara Whigham — February, 1952 H. A The Regional Supervisor of Homemaking, Miss Georgia Ruffcorn, attended the first meeting of the year. On November 6th the Executive Board went to San Diego to the F.H.A. county meeting. Mrs. Warrens spoke to the F.H.A. members on Homemaking at Work in the Home and in the Community. Her talk was en- joyed by all. The members of our F.H.A. attended the San Diego County Imperial District Convention at San Diego Union High School on April 30th. Ramona's Chapter has three officers in the district. These are: Barbara Whigham, Secretary; Eileen Mc- Donald, Treasurer; Margaret Hancock, Parliamenta- rian. Ellen Brown is the local chapter President. The F.F.A. members had a busy year; sponsoring a Barn Dance and a booth at the Carnival were just a few of their many activities. Officers for the year were: President, Richard Cawyer; Vice-President, Robert Darrough; Secretary, Lowell Fuhrman; Treasurer, Richard Kover; Reporter, Walter Schmid; Sentinel, Charles Steinhauer; Advisor, Mansel P. Shiner. The Glee Club's first singing engagement of the year was on October 24th at the Rotary Club. The Rotarians were appreciative of their fine singing. The Glee Club, the seventh and eighth grades and the grammar school children sang at the Armistice Day and the Christmas programs which were exceptionally well done. The Glee Club was well received when they responded to the request of the Farm Bureau to sing for their meet- ing. The girls have done an outstanding piece of work under Mr. DeGuide's leadership. The band this year is under the capable leadership of Mr, DeGuide. They presented a Christmas program. Armistice Day program, and they will play the tradi- tional march for Graduation, June 6. Band The Student Council is the representative body of our high school. The members consist of the presidents and vice-presidents of all the organizations and classes, with the Executive Board officers presiding over the meetings. Various problems of the organi- zations are brought up in the meetings to be consid- ered by the Executive Board members. The organiza- tions included in the Student Council are: CSF, FFA, FHA, Girls' League, Lettermen's Club, GAC, Glee Club, Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman Classes. Student Council Monitors’ Board The Monitors Board was organized under the admin- istration of Professor Wilson. Its chief function is to help the principal protect school property. It also helps the principal maintain student self-government among the students. Ramona is one of the bright spots of the county in the matter of student discipline and the protection of school property. OFFICERS President .... Vice-President Secretary . .. .... Bob Bivens .... John Muir Lowell Fuhrman The Associated Student Body, which consists of all the students of Ramona High School, sponsors the Football Dance, Homecoming Dance, Carnival, all our National School Assemblies and helps to finance the Annual.

Bob has been on all-league teams in basketball and football, and has received many other school awards. In Bob is found the rare combination of scholarship, citizenship, and athletic ability. Bob Bivens has been president of many organizations including the A.S.B., and has held many other offices. Varsity Football RAMONA 6 - ELSINORE 40 During the first half, Ramona put on a good fight with Boomie Huston making Ramona's only touchdown, and the half ending 6-13. In the second half the lack of reserves showed on Ramona, and although the boys put on a good fight, the game had a tragic ending. RAMONA 0 — MAR VISTA 24 Fighting desperately against a larger and heavier team, the Bulldogs again had bad luck. The lack of reserves made playing hard, but the Bulldogs never quit and gave a good fight. RAMONA 0-ARMY-NAVY 40 In the first half, Ramona held a heavier and stronger team to few touchdowns, but the lack of replacements, and the opponents platoon system, overran the smaller Bulldog team. RAMONA 7-MOUNTAIN EMPIRE 13 In a game away from home, the Bulldogs showed their spunk and helped Bob Bivens over the line to kick the conversion in the third quarter. Injuries held our boys from running the score higher although they fought with the Ramona spirit throughout the game. RAMONA 20-HELIX J.V. 0 In the first home game of the season Ramona swamped Helix J. V. 20 to 0. Bob Bivens, Ramona's husky quar- terback, sent the game moving by scoring around his own left end in the first quarter. In the second quarter John Muir plunged through the line for another Ra- mona touchdown, and Bob Bivens kicked the conver- sion. Coming out strong after the half, and accom- panied by a fighting line, the Ramona Bulldogs helped Bob Bivens go over the line for the third touchdown. Bob again kicked the conversion. RAMONA 13- BROWN 28 The Bulldogs came out with the will to win, and played a better game than Brown, although the lack of re- placements left our boys too tired to do much the second half. Supported by the Bulldogs' fighting spirit, John Muir plunged through the line in the second quar- ter, and Bob Johnson went around the right end in the third quarter. Bob Bivens kicked the conversion. J. V. FOOTBALL The Junior Varsity Football squad showed a very prom- ising future team.
