The essays written by these people were published in the local press and read before various service clubs. Playing their part in the commemoration, the Woodshop made attractive frames for several copies of Gilbert Stuart’s famous Athenaeum painting of George Washington. The pictures were sent to the school by Congressman Charles F. Curry. Further honoring George Washington, the Commencement speakers, Vuokko Carlson and Claire Smith, will dedicate their speeches to our First President and the Bicentennial. The purpose of the Bicentennial is to stimulate the patriotism of the citizens of today by making them aware of Washington’s noble achievements. It is hoped that an understanding of his life may assist Americans to keep constant, in this ever changing civilization, the high ideals which actuated our First President.

The seniors began the day with a grand march at 8:15 in the school auditorium, accompanied by music furnished by the following senior boys: Leon Edlefsen, Sam Hadley, Clyde Cook, Vernie Marcyes, Gordon Williams and Elvin Cometta. Uncle Sams, Hindus, Clowns, Mammies, Infants, Hoosier Schoolboys, Old Fashioned Girls and Scotchmen walked the boards while the best costumes were being selected. Frances Schwarz, dressed as a mammy, and James Vanoncini, as Tarzan, won the prizes, two jars of candy. After the parade, an amusing play was presented by the Senior class. The setting was a cafe in the Montmartre, Paris. The characters were: Tourists, Dorothy Swope, Marion Honsinger, and Eugene Doyle; Waitress, Alice Traverso; Artists’ Chorus, Leonora Brougham, Dorothy LaPlante, Alma Yeater, Yvonne Hastings, Laverne Patterson, Ruth Goddard, Jeanne DeBord, Marguerite Russell; Boys’ Chorus, Halbert Glover, George Brougham, Francis Lansman, Melvin Hansen, Dar- row Sutton, Blair Spires, Wilfred McKoy, and Eugene Shea; Apache Dancers, Mervyn Chenoweth, Julius Schnaitman; Flower Girl, Anita Chasseur; Accom- panist, Evelean Hebrard. The Seniors continued to rule the day with good fun, topping it off with a costume-dinner dance at 6:30 in the attractively decorated school cafeteria. The menu was well prepared and clever hats and favors were given each senior. Danc- ing and specialty numbers were enjoyed between courses. The entertainment con- sisted of a vocal solo by Ruth Fenix; accompanist, Gail Herbert; a violin solo, Marjorie Whittlesey ; accompanist, Evelean Hebrard; a reading by Alma Yeater ; and an amusing stunt by the senior boys. Mr. Tucker gave a toast to the senior class and Walter Bradbury replied. The reading of the last will and prophecy was performed by Darrow Sutton. Dancing concluded the evening, thus bringing another Senior Day to a close. HISTORY OF -R. U, HS: In this, the 1932 Hi-Nus Supplement, there are two anniversaries to commem- orate. The first, to which we dedicate this book, is the Washington Bicentennial ; the second is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the foundation of our school. When Richmond was incorporated as a city, no provisions were made for a high school. As the population increased, it was evident that a high school was needed. Petitions were circulated and, with but one dissenting vote, the issue was passed. On February 13, 1907, papers were filed at the county recorder’s office. Temporary headquarters of the newly organized school were established in an old building on Standard Avenue now occupied by the Veteran Firemen’s Asso- ciation of Richmond. The teachers were Mr. B. X. Tucker, Miss Ruth Peterson, who is now Mrs. Tucker, and Miss Alberta Beli, who is Mrs. Burnett, a teacher in Burlingame high school. The school had an average attendance of 32 students. The corner stone for the new high school building at Twenty-third and Mac- donald was laid on May 23, 1907, and on February 12, 1908, the building was com- pleted. The first student, Walter Smallwood, was graduated in May, 1908. The attendance steadily increased. In 1914 a $64,000 building, containing a cafeteria, an assembly hall, and several classrooms, was constructed to accommo- date the large number of students. Again in 1921 an addition was needed. Gardner Hall, with its classrooms and domestic science department was built. With an enrollment of 800 in a building intended to accommodate 400, it was evident that a new high school was needed. A site of 19 3 10 acres was purchased and, in 1925, an $885,000 bond issue was passed. Construction of the building was started in November, 19206. Today in the $680,000 building, first occupied in August 1928, we have a faculty of 60 and an average daily attendance of 1187. In September, 1931, the clubhouse, which was christened the Union, was completed. secause of crowded conditions at Longfellow Junior high, there is no longer room enough for the Continuation School students. The school board, therefore, decided to erect a new unit on the high school campus. Construction has been started on a two story brick structure which will be of the same type as the main plant and which will cost $35,000. There will be twelve large classrooms, two rest rooms, and two teachers’ rooms. The building will be completed and ready for occupation by August. WE ARE PROUD As the close of the semester draws near, and some of us are soon to end our school days, we should pause a moment and allow our thoughts to travel back over the events of the last few months. The commission, led by Don Follett, an excellent president, has performed its duties in a most commendable manner. In athletics we have had a good year, always winning and losing like sportsmen. “ Daddy-Long-Legs,” the term play, was a great success trom every point of view. This term we are all proud: proud of our commissioners, our teams, and our play. Few will dispute the statement that.we have had one of the best semesters in the history of Richmond High. The success of our student activities this term cannot be attributed to luck or chance, but must be attributed to conscientious effort, not only on the part of the commissioners, the athletes, and the cast of the play, but upon the part of the student body as a whole. The keynote of school life is an excellent student government, and we have all helped to make the student government of spring, ’32, an excellent one. THE SPRING ComMiIsston—President, Donald Fo llett: Vice-President, Ruth Eichar; Secretary, Anita Chasseur; Boys’ Athletic Commissioner, Frank Ausez ; Student Judge, Vuokko Carlson; Prosecuting Attorney, Elvin Cometta; Girls’ Athletic Commissioner, Lorraine Michel; Social Chairman, Olga Hahomed; Com- missioner of Law and Order, Darrow Sutton. fee ee ee 2 emaeaiiteasabei eet eaieaniaeenel Salling ened INTERNATIONAL CLUB OFFICERS ye a!

Although these people have concentrated their efforts on one big play, ‘“Daddy-Long-Legs,” every entertainment has been a result of their united efforts. Joseph McGill, Frances Schwarz, and ‘Audra Richardson, members of the stage craft class under the direction of Mrs. Bernice James, were assisted by the new stage crew. This crew, under the supervision of Mr, Haynes, consists of Joseph Dalmasso at the lights, Roger Shelden at the spot light, James McMullen for the curtain, and Donald McLennan and Weldon Lee on the stage. The new additions made for stage equipment were the two new monkscloth wings to make a larger cyclorama, made by the sewing classes, and the big curtain placed upon a counter balance. Those boys who have helped the most throughout the term with taking tickets at the gates and ushering were Roy Hagenlocker, Grover Tiller, Walter Hopkins, Julius Schnaitman, Elvin Cometta, and Edmund Cross. OUR MUSIC MASTER With the closing of the spring term, June 1932, Mr. George Morris, instru- mental music instructor, will be celebrating his eleventh anniversary as the maestro of the department. Before coming to Richmond, Mr. Morris had charge of pro- fessional bands and orchestras in Colorado. Mr. Morris began studying music at the age of ten. When he was fourteen, he attended a music school and remained there for two years. After leaving this school, Mr. Morris directed a group of church choir musicians. From the time he was sixteen years old until he was twenty-one, Mr. Morris studied under teachers of note, including some of the greatest music professors in Europe and America. These music maestros were: Doctor Bruno Klein of Leipsig, Germany, tutor in harmony; and Doctor J. B. Herbert of Chicago, teacher of harmony composition and voice. Under the excellent instruction of Professor F. M. Steinhouser of 3erlin, Mr. Morris mastered the method of conducting and arranging of the band and orchestra. He was also taught the art of composing. Although he studied all the musical instruments, Mr. Morris specialized in the clarinet, oboe and the French horn. He later studied under Professor Bosworth, clarinet soloist, of the Reeves American Band of Providence, Rhode Island. During his eleven years at the High School, Mr. Morris has developed many professional players, some of whom are members of Local number 6 of San Fran- cisco, and of the Musicians’ Union of Richmond. Some of his former pupils have popular dance orchestras and many are holding important musical positions throughout the West. Among the well-known local musicians who have been music students and mem- bers of the band and orchestra under the direction of Mr. Morris are: Doris Lin- coln, Gay Vargas, Howard Roe, Dan White, Stanley Colman, Kenneth Hall, Andel Mansfield, Clifford Metz, Nicholas Nugent, Frank Ehlart, Edward Gregg, Louis Thompson, Walter Siegel, Francis Zeim, Ralph O’Connor, Norman Gregg, Paul Basham, Margarite Carey Muth, James Thornton, John Rose, Charles Cecil, Clair Thomas, Emma Meyers Gibbons, Walter Axelson, Leslie Regalia, Fred Aichinger, Meredith Morgan. Those who have graduated more recently are: Martin Crabb, Forrest Jenkins, Melvin Higgins, Louis Cunan, Grace Olney, Russell Ralston, Edward Bergen, Edward Hill, Hughes Fowell, Ira Cole, Madeline Whittlesey, Clyde Barnhard, Marjorie Whittlesey, and Leon Edlefsen.

GE NEVIEVE THREE GUESSES vi VARSITY _ BASKETBALL nan . , BASKETBALL SQUA ae BASEBALL _ TEAM. fo ah _ A A TS BASKETBALL Second place holders, but with a five that was every bit as good as the title win- ners, Richmond High basketball players climaxed a splendid A. C. A. L. season by capturing their annual Alumni game from a team that was heads and shoulders over them in experience and pre-game favorites. The basketball schedule was highly successful in all branches, but far happier because the locals gave Berkeley High their first defeat in three years of league competition. The Richmond B’s were a sorry disappointment to their ardent admirers, for they finished in last place when they had a squad that was of much higher calibre. In the curtain raiser of the A. C. A. L., the locals encountered the Alameda Hornets, who lived up to expectations by ending in last place, on the home pavilion. Coach Phil Hempler’s outfit ran up a gigantic lead, so large that Hempler used the reserves throughout most of the second period. At half time the R. U. H. S. five led 15-9. Scarsella, Moitoza, and Passone rang up several buckets to push the locals to a 22-9 third quarter advantage. In the fourth session, the cohorts of Carl Young came to life and mounted the score until at the final gun it read, Richmond 32, Alameda 22. Large crowds from both schools attended the contests. Rivals from Berkeley High met the locals on the home court in the second league game. The Yellowjackets had previously defeated the Piedmont aggregation in impressive manner. Richmond again started this game by tallying first. Through- out the half the lead see-sawed back and fourth with a 13-13 deadlock at the rest intermission. Passone and Moitoza led the home team assault. The locals led by five points at one time in the third quarter, but were caught and nosed out at the final whistle, 29-25. Poor guarding cost the Blue and Red this important fray. Piedmont proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back when they eked out a 27-25 victory on the Hill City floor. The game, which entered the extra period stage, found an inferior Highlander team taking advantage of the poorest exhibition of guarding put on by an Oiler five in many seasons. During the initial half, the local guards acted as forwards and, consequently, permitted the Purple and White to forge into. an 18-9 advantage. The Hemplerites came back with vengeance in the third and fourth cantos, not only to catch the Piedmonters, but to obtain a one marker lead with 45 seconds to go. Here a foul occurred and the “Binks” Rawling’s cager made it good to knot the count. In the extra period, Kash, center, netted a spec- tacular attempt to give the Clansmen a 27-25 win. At this juncture of the schedule, a Richmond winning streak was started; here- after the locals went undefeated the rest of the year. Alameda was the opponent in the second round of the league. The Hornets, led by their all-A. C. A. L. stars, Herman Pete and Bill Reid, were vastly improved, but not to the degree where they could take the Oilers. Hempler’s team put up a sorry exhibition and was forced into an extra period, after trailing the greater portion of the fracas. Scarsella, who went wild in this contest, tallied twice in the additional five minutes to capture the triumph for the locals. Critics of the Bay region were all talking of the poor lamb, the Blue and Red, being led to its slaughter by the Berkeley five. This sad outlook did not handicap the Hemplerites in the least; rather it proved to be the stimulus to goad them on to greater conquests. Hardly had Jack Eadie’s boys sunk the first point than the Blue and Red swarmed all over the Cardinal and Gold. At half time, though, the Yellow- jackets, through fine offensive work at the last moment, edged into the fore. After Hempler explained his attack for the last half, the Oilers took the floor and pro- ceeded to sink everything in sight. The huge Richmond crowd was jubilant as the locals opened the final period, leading 20-13. The B. H. S. contingent realized it would be their first beating in years, so they put on all they had. It was far from enough. The scintillating Richmondites took all the highly favored Berkeleyans had to offer and could have asked for more. At the conclusion of the skirmish, the gathering of local enthusiasts smothered the victorious cagers, congratulating all. “Smilin” Phil Hempler beamed with joy for the decisive 26-16 triumph repaid him ina small way for his faith and pride in his basketeers. The defeat was the only one incurred by the pennant winning Yellowjackets. Tied for second place, Piedmont visited the Richmond campus to receive a thorough trouncing, but unfortunately the damage was done, for the Berkeley five defeated Alameda and won the championship. Immediately at the outset of the encounter the locals tossed in buckets galore. The Highlanders could not vie with the flurry of baskets. Les Scarsella again went wild, running up a total of 21 markers. Richmond was never pressed and walked off the floor with a 36-21 win. Piedmont was thereby shoved into third place and the Alameda five occupied the cellar. Les Scarsella, who led all A. C. A. L. scorers with 67 markers, and Paul Moitoza, second high man, having 41, were easily the outstanding pair in the league. Their passwork and defensive ability were flawless. Scarsella graduates, but Moitoza will return for another year of competition. Captain Reno Passone was what Phil Hempler classed as “the finest center in the league.” PeeWee controlled all the tip-offs, aided the guards considerably and was the leading scorer of the pivot men. He also has ended his final season of cage battle. Ed Masek, Weldon Lee and Kenny McPhee displayed marvelous guarding games after starting the schedule in mediocre style. Toward the conclusion of the tournament, Masek performed splendidly, so well that Coach Jack Eadie of Berkeley rated iin the superior defense man of the league. Masek leaves, but McPhee and Lee will be bulwarks of the guards next spring. Clayton Bowles, Marco Grignaschi, John Gerletti, and Louie Piziali were other members of the squad. B BASKETBALL Entering A. C. A. L. competition with the most capable team that ever repre- sented the Oilers as far as passwork was concerned, the locals proved not to be of title holder quality, for they ended in last place. Frank Ribbel had the small B’s, but he had foreseen a pennant winner and was disappointed at the failure of his cohorts. Making their first league appearance, the Blue and Red lightweights showed promise, as they came from behind to overcome the veteran Alameda five, the same bunch that captured the lightweight title. The Richmondites were trailing 12-10 at half time, but in the remaining two periods treated the Islanders to a merry chase to win, 25-17. Meeting the co-holders of first place, Berkeley, the locals were subjected to the worst beating they incurred during the schedule. The team was not clicking and, consequently, there was poor passwork, terrible bucket shooting, and numer- ous costly fouls which in turn were made good by Al Parker’s boys. Final results found the Yellow jackets the victors by a 22-15 count. Piedmont bowed to the “Ribbelets” in a slow, dreary contest at the Hill City to put the locals in the running again. Piedmont used a set defense which slowed the game to a walk. At half time the teams were deadlocked at f ive all. In the second half, the Oilers pulled away from their adversaries to win 18-14. Bill Brandau was the shining light of this triumph. The race was thrown into a four way tie as the result of the second Alameda game. The locals played nice basketball, but the Encinal squad, led by Bob Gardiner and ““Chug’’ Matacora, managed to make good their foul attempts and nosed the locals out, 15-13. In the afternoon the Highlanders walked off with a victory over Berkeley, so all teams had two won and two lost. Again the Ribbel squad was edged out, this time by the Cardinal and Gold of Berkeley in a close skirmish. The local mentor in an effort to instill the spark of victory sent in the reserves, who gave remarkable accounts of themselves. Thev brought the score to within one bucket, but a quite enough to gain a win. The gun ended the game, the score board reading, B. H. S. 18, R. U. H. S. 15. Mean- while Piedmont lost to Alameda. Utterly excluded from a chance at first place, the Highlanders and the locals tangled on the home courts in the last game. The visitors won by a 17-16 margin in an extra period of play. Alameda trimmed the Yellow jackets to merit the champion- ship ; Piedmont and Berkeley took a tie for second ; Richmond finished last. BASEBALL After a fair practice season, winning four out of ten games, the Oiler ball team entered the ‘A. C. A. L. They finished the league in a tie for second place with Alameda, each having one victory and three defeats. Berkeley took the championship with four victories and no defeats. Richmond ‘started the practice season with three consecutive victories. Crockett was the first victim when the Oilers drove out 15 base hits to outslug the John, Swett nine, 8-6. The contest was played on the latter’s field. ‘Legs’ LeGault started on the mound for the locals, but was relieved by Roy Silva in the third canto. Silva chucked good ball for the remainder of the contest, and was credited with the victory. Lino Corazzo’s superb pitching and Les Scarsella’s hard hitting enabled the Oilers to win a 4-3 pitcher’s battle over Castlemont in the second tilt of the season. The game was plaved on the local diamond. Coach Phil Hempler’s aggregation completed the three straight triumphs with a 4-0 victory over University at Bushrod Park. “Pee Wee’ Passone was on the hill- top for the Blue and Red. Corazzo’s circuit blow with two men on was the big factor in the local win. Richmond was somewhat humiliated when the local school suffered three succes- sive defeats. R. U. H. S. took the first beating at the hands of the Hayward Farmers, 4-1, at Thrasher’s Park in San Leandro. Costly errors by Scarsella and Moitoza were largely responsible for the locals’ loss. LeGault turned in a masterful per- formance, allowing the Farmers but two hits and sending 11 batters to the bench. The Richmondites were trimmed for the second time by the St. Mary’s Panthers, 7-3, on the home field. A four run stampede in the second frame won the contest for the Pan thers. Eight hits were registered from the offerings of Passone, and six safeties were obtained from Raffanti. The Blue and Red returned after Easter vacation to taste another defeat. San Leandro bunched their blows to eke out a 6-4 win on the Cherry City diamond. Le- Gault pitched a fair game for the Oilers, yielding but 6 safeties. In a return game with St. Mary’s, Richmond was content with a 4-4 deadlock. A four run rally in the last half of the seventh with two out enabled the Panthers to tie the count. An additional inning was played but no scores resulted. Passone hurled good ball for the Blue and Red but received poor support. Coach Hempler’s cohorts remained superior over Crockett by smashing out a 5-2 victory. Corazzo and Passone alternated on the mound for the Oil City nine. In the final practice tilt before the first A. C. A. L. games, the Richmond pas- timers were nosed out of another win by Cal Frosh, 10-9, on Hillegarde field. Eight safeties from the offerings of LeGault in the last two frames gave the Frosh a victory. Richmond opened the A. C. A. L. by receiving a 6-5 defeat at the hands of Alameda on the latter’s diamond. Errors again proved the Oiler’s downfall. Muzzi was the heavy hitter of the day, garnering three for four. Corazzo pitched creditable ball for the locals, but he was not given full support by his teammates. R. U. H. S. scheduled a practice tilt with Diablo to prepare for the Berkeley game. The locals were trimmed by a 3-2 count. Coach Hempler started the second string and put the regulars into the fray in the last three innings. The reserves held their own with the “Red Devils,” but the first string booted the game away for Passone in the ninth. The Blue and Red nine was defeated, 5-2, by Berkeley in the second A. C. A. L. contest on the local diamond. Errors at critical moments cost the Oilers the ball game. The local aggregation scored their only runs in the ninth after two were out, but could not overcome the five-run lead held by the Yellowjackets. Corazzo was touched for 7 blows. Richmond chalked up the first league triumph by conquering the Alameda Hor- nets, 4-3, in one of the best ball games played on the Oilers’ diamond during the year. A new spirit and hustle aided considerably in the locals’ victory. A pitching duel prevailed when LeGault and Helmstein chucked shut-out ball for four innings. Only 11 hits were registered from both pitchers, LeGa ult allowing 7, and Helmstein, 4. Lino Corazzo won the contest for the Oilers when he smashed out a sharp single to tally LeGault in the eighth, breaking a 3-3 tie. Richmond engaged in a practice game with San Rafael. The Blue and Red nine took a trouncing from the Bulldogs, 6-1. Bowles started the flinging for the Oilers, but was relieved by LeGault in the third canto. 3erkeley took the Richmondites into camp, 10-7, in the final ball tilt of the season. Each team chalked up 9 hits, but the Yellowjackets took advantage of errors to make their blows count. Coach Hempler used Passon e on the rubber, but the lanky chucker was relieved in the third, Corazzo finishing the game for the Oilers. Members of the squad were: Muzzi, Silva, Holder Jester, DeFabio, Troutman, Chappel, outfielders; McGill and Robinson, 3rd feat Moitoza and Bowles, shortstops; White and Shinnick, 2nd basemen; Scarsella, first baseman; Klobas, catcher, and Corazzo, Passone, and LeGault, pitchers.

This was the first time the Blue and Red has competed in the A. C. A. L. Consequently, lack of experience and a small turnout handicapped the Oilers. In the pre-league schedule, the locals captured three of their five encounters. Id Masek proved an outstanding competitor for the R. U. H. S. team by accounting for 78 points for the season. He took a first, third and fourth in the A. C. A. L. finals. Richmond pulled a big upset to open the track season, scoring a win over Fremont and Berkeley in a three-way meet. R. U. H. S. registered 54 points, Fremont 4914, and Berkeley 3514. The Oilers took six first places and a tie for first. Masek totaled 14 markers. Firsts were taken by Al Cezario in the mile; Pearson in the 440; Whitmore in the low hurdles; Christopher in the high jump; and Masek in both sprints and the shot put. Coach Ribbel’s squad won the second battle from Alhambra by taking the decid- ing relay race. Martinez was leading before the relay was under way, but the Oilers took the close run to nose out the Panthers, 54% to 51% on the Martinez oval. Masek again was high man with 13 digits, grabbing firsts in ‘the s sprints and a second in the shot. Other winners were Cezario in the mile, McPhee, broad jump, and Whitmore, high hurdles. Richmond captured the third meet by vanquishing St. Ignatius High of San Francisco, 66 2 3 to 49 1 3. The Blue’and Red took six first places, a tie for first, and a clean sweep in both the high hurdles and broad. jump. Masek tallied his usual points, chalking up 16. The local iron man was a triple winner, collecting firsts in both sprints and the shot put. O’Brien ran a dead heat with O’Malley of S. I. in the low hurdles. ; The Oilers were handed their first defeat by San Rafael’s Bulldogs, 61 to 52. By taking the relay, the Red and = hite were insured a victory. Ryan, O’Brien and Pearson were the only R. U. H. S. men to take firsts. Ryan, who is a sophomore student, stole the show by leaping 19 feet 9 inches in the broad jump. Masek col- lected four seconds. Mr. Tucker’s Alumni administered Richmond their second beating, 60-53. Six first places were obtained by each squad, but since the graduates registered shutouts in the weights and pole vault, they won the meet. Ryan jumped 20 feet 5 inches. Pearson, Christopher, O” Brien and Masek were the undergraduate victors. Roy mnaerceretig: OA ARNT CRIT.

The A. C. A. L. four-cornered clash concluded the schedule for the Oilers. Alameda retained their title by running up 65 1 4 markers. Piedmont ended second with 41%; Berkeley, third, 34 1 4 and the locals, fourth, with 14. Masek who was Ves : not expected to place in the shot, heaved it farther than he ever did, 48 feet 2% inches, to head all comers. The husky boy also took a third in the 220 and a fourth in the 100-yard dash. O’Brien copped a third in the high hurdles, Joe Robak, a third in the mile, and Pearson, a fourth in, the 440. In addition to Masek in the sprints, Ray Fasanaro anc Elton Armstrong secured several points for the locals. Both ran excellent laps in the half mile relay, the event that cinched many meets for R. U. H. S. Lloyd Pearson was triumphant in the majority of his quarter mile dashes, and should be even better next spring. Ivan Utter also ran the one-lap race. Clarence Siemer and Louie Piziali took care of the half mile distance. Siemer will be one of the letter men returning in 1933. Joe Robak and Al Cezario took turns in winning the mile run. At the start of the year, the latter was easily the victor, but in the closing stages, Robak obtained revenge. Tony Silva and Reinaldo Beltz competed in the endurance grind, also. Ellard O’Brien, Bob Swan, Frank Merideth and Bill Whitmore were a brilliant quartet of hurdlers. All captured. many points. Merideth will be back next year. George Shaw and Leonard Coombs were the pole vault mainstays. Jack Ryan, Kenny McPhee and Bob Humphrey upheld the Red and Blue in the broad j jump. Humph- rey, who is the only graduating trackster of the trio, also gathered points in the weights, where he combined with Masek. Frank Christopher and John Gerletti were the local high jumping pair. The relay squad was composed of Pearson, Armstrong, Fasanaro and Masek. TENNIS Winning their second A. C. A. L. championship in three years, the Richmond High Tennis Team completed a splendid season. Practice matches brought forth indications of the fine caliber of the tennis team. The Blue and Red defeated all opponents in pre-season play. In the first practice tilt the Oilers met Berkeley High. The local boys came home victorious, taking three out of five matches. James Hurley, playing number one man of Richmond, won from Ed Ackley, 6-2, 6-1. Phil Carlin downed his Berkeley opponent, 6-4, 6-2. Darrow Sutton was defeated in the last two sets, 6-1, 6-3, after he had won his first set, 6-3. The doubles team of Hurley and Carlin, had little difficulty in defeating their rivals, 6-0, 6-2. Clarence Garibotti and Adrian Newman were outclassed, 6- 4, 6-4. The local cee tangled with the Alameda racquet wielders the following week, and R. U. H. S. shut out the Hornets, taking five straight matches. In the on practice match, the Oiler netmen battled with the Piedmont tennis team and defeated the Highl inders six out of seven matches. James Hurley out- classed Tamorkora, in two straight set, 6-0, 6-3. Phil Carlin defeated Turner, by scores of 6-0, 6-1. Darrow Sutton dropped the first set. 6-3, but sensationally took the last two matches 9-7, 6-0. Dave Robertson, a new member of the team, was defeated by his Piedmont adversary, P. Lerch, 6-2, 6-4. The most interesting match of the d: ty was between Garibotti of Richmond and Thiel of Piedmont. After losing his first set 14-12. the Richmond High boy came back to win the next two sets. IL. -9, 6-1. ¥ ; Richmond’s number one doubles team completely outclassed their rivals by win- ning in two sets, 6-2, 6-3. Sutton and Robertson defeated Turner and Robie, 6=2: o ¢ j=]. On Saturday, May 7, the Richmond High netmen met and defeated tennis teams of Berkeley, Alameda and Piedmont, in the A. C. A. L. finals. The Oilers won five matches, Berkeley won two, and Piedmont and Alameda were unable to place. James Hurley won the number 1 singles title by de feating Ed Ackley of Berkeley in two straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. Phil Carlin outclassed Tanaka of Alameda to cop the number 2 singles title. Darrow Sutton took his number 3 honors by downing DeGiere of Berkeley, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. The number 1 doubles title went to Hurley and Carlin by taking Hill and Tanaka of Alameda, 6-2, 6-2. Sutton and Garibotti won the number 2 doubles, winning from DeGiere and Coulthard of Berkeley, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. Garibotti lost out in the finals to Coulthard. Starke was eliminated in the semi-finals. This victory marks the second championship Richmond has won in the A. C. A. L. The tourney ended the career of one of the best tennis teams ever produced at Richmond High. Carlin, Hurley and Sutton, three leading players in the state, will be lost to R. U. H. S. by graduation. As a result of their success in the A. C. A. L., Hurley and Carlin won the right to participate in the doubles matches in the North Coast finals. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS According to the constitution, the R. U. H. S. Girls’ Athletic association exists for the purpose of encouraging active participation of every girl in some form of school sport, and to foster good sportsmanship among the girls. The major sports of the 1932 spring season were baseball and basketball. As a result of the seniors winning the intermural basketball championship, the following girls received their numerals: Helen McDonald, Marjorie Woods, Con- stance Fiderio, Emma Berutti, Esther Auten, Marguerite Russell, Bonita Ellis, Gertrude Huber, Nora Dunleavy and Rita Cavigga. Saseball did not prove to be as popular among the girls as basketball was. How- ever, those who turned out improved their games. The teams which won most fre- quently were the seniors and the juniors. In determining the championship, these teams played the first game of the final series last Wednesday. The seniors defeated the juniors by a score of 6-4. Finals were played on Monday and, as a result, many girls received awards for baseball at the G. A. A. banquet which was held on Tuesday. Tennis and swimming are the minor sports throughout the year. Miss Mildred Cuthbertson, who gave swimming instructions at the Natatorium every Tuesday from 5 to 6 o'clock, has produced a group of competent swimmers and divers. At the City Hall tennis courts every Tuesday and Friday mornings from 7 to8 o'clock, Miss Clara McLaurin gave tennis instructions to all girls who were interested. Through her efforts, promising net stars are being developed. This term the girls took part in the semi-annual play day with the G. A. A. of the Eastbay high schools at San Leandro, and the tri-angular play day with Crockett and Martinez at Crockett. These play days are always enjoyed by the girls. A CONSOLATION Although we shall lose many good friends when the class of June °32 is grad- uated, and our friends themselves feel sad as the time draws near when they must end their scholastic endeavors, we must not forget that soon we, too, shall receive diplomas, and join that group which is ever loyal to R. U. H. S.—the Alumni. HI-NUS SUPPLEMENT STAFF Christine Coleman ill Brandau Lloyd Mason Bill Goodwin Clyde Barnhard Frank Ausez Ruby Kong Evelyn Overaa Fong, 1932.
