in) | AMOND Ne ocuiire Ned — _ Ri¢ HMOND UNION HIGH SCHOOL ae RICHMOND | COLLECTION ‘ES nee me te Nt AAR RAEN Cr OE Bhs JANUARY - 1933 PUBLISHED BY RICHMOND UNION HIGH SCHOOL FOREWORD WE PRESENT THE “PAGEANT” as but part of an endless procession that is passing before us. Life is an eternal drama; the stage on which the scenes are enacted is the world itself; we, our ancestors and our children, are the actors. History depicts myriad scenes in the pageant of the world that flash across our memory like parts of a cinema. The actors enter the stage, hold the center for a short time, then pass beyond, each leaving something for which to be remembered. Named the “Pageant” because of its appropriateness in connection with the theme chosen by our graduates for Senior Day, and because of its value as a permanent title for the record of the drama of Richmond Union High School, this book carries as its theme the Mardi Gras, the pageant which at present is probably the most outstanding in the world, because of its color, gaiety, carnival spirit and interest. We may no more than suggest the glamor of it. Space prevents us from using all the adjectives that might attempt description of the processions, with their medley of pomp and bombast, grotesque proportions, delicate concep- tions, rags and tatters, richness and profusion. Just as no word picture can cover the whole events of one Mardi Gras, no piece of writing as small as this can convey all that is of interest in one semester at Richmond High. Our purpose in giving you this book is to establish a record and present a hasty view of the life of our school during the Fall semester of 1934. Occupying the center of the stage during the past semester has been the Class of January, 1935. On them have we turned the spotlight, although many other features that attract our attention pass before our eyes. Incidents of importance, fascinating personalities, intellectual accomplishment, music, art, sport, and humor appear on the stage. In the Mardi Gras, Comus, the spirit of American pageantry, pre- serves the flames of his traditional glory through all interruptions. Comus, the symbol of elegance, offers his cup with no loss of ancient dignity on a twentieth century stage. So also do we establish the “Pageant”, that it may be maintained as a permanent record of the drama, term by term, as it takes place in Richmond Union High School. DEDICATION “The world’s a theater, the earth a stage, which God and Nature do with actors fill.” So wrote Thomas Heywood several hundred years ago. This is our reason for giving you the “Pageant”: that a small portion of the drama that is being presented on the stage might be viewed with just a little more vividness, thoroughness, and interest. To those actors and actresses who, we regret, are passing into the wings of the stage, the Class of January, 1935, do we dedicate this book. COMMENCEMENT SENIORS SENIoR Day SENIOR CriRcUS ticHMOND Union HicH SCHOOL knows that it is meeting with a real loss when the members of the Class of January, 1935, receive their diplomas. Their co-operative and friendly spirit has endeared them to members of the Student Body and Faculty alike. They carry with them the good wishes of their High School.

Flora Stark SENIOR CIRCUS A LONG, LONG TIME AGO, when our grandparents hadn’t even been thought about yet (thanks, Mr. Madson) ; what we’re trying to say is—In olden days when the carnival! spirit was one of the outstanding features in the life of the European peasants, a period of wild rejoicing, frolicking, and fun-making preceded each serious occasion. The people, realizing that after the solemn days were at hand they must remain austere and dignified, made the most of the preceding days, and held festivals, parades, and pageants to celebrate their “release from the flesh.” Now our one hundred and twenty-three graduating seniors romp and make merry in celebration of the completion of their high school careers. With what joy and laughter they careen about, what mirthful songs and carefree spirit is in the atmos- phere. Come with me, as we approach the crowd on yonder. What is it the fellow in the derby hat is shouting? Oh, look, don’t you recognize him? It’s The Pleich himself! Hurry, we can’t miss a word of what he is saying. Note: Here follow the great words of our honorable orator: Hear ye. Hear ye. Gather “round, ladies and gentlemen, while I, in my pitifully limited vocabulary attempt to describe to you the most colossal, gigantic, stupendous, and prodigious attraction on the face of the earth; that show of shows; that carnival of carnivals; that panorama of panoramas: The Senior Circus! Over 100 talented artists in two amazing acts. Listen carefully, ladies and gentlemen, while I briefly enumerate the various features of this colorful performance. Now you will see that mysterious magician from the Orient, Art Stribley, and his shadow, Cecil Smith, in some inexplicable manner, escape from the Mechanics Bank vault while it is under ten feet of water. Youll see Melwood “Vino” Walker and his mirth-provoking, rib-tickling group. of trained penguins. You will see Bob Schultz, the only living human with a zipper on his operation. You will see—hey, sonny, yeah, I mean you, Ray McPherson, get out from under- neath the tent. You can’t sneak in here—You will see for the first time since his inno- vation, that famed personage of the sea, Jack Tarr. Charley Reynolds, Homer Ander- son, and Johnny O’Malley, those daring young men on the flying trapeze, will go through their aerial man euvers at the very peak of the big tent. Imagine, for the same price you may witness such an outstanding performance as Stephanie “Paderoofski” Clark and Marion “Canary” Gordon as the former accompanies the latter in the famous opera by Helen Hin- shaw, “Over There”. You will see the shortest man in the world, Jerome Vloeberghs, do battle with a ferocious spider. Jake Perlman will as- tound you when he balances Helen Jackson, Ramona Jones, and Al Waring on his left eye- brow. . What is it? You want to know if your son, Paul Blank, can get in for half price? Cer- tainly, ma’am, anyone under twelve years of age. You will be astounded, ladies and gents, as “Bullet Bob” Abernethy outlines Stella Bruno with machine gun bullets. His original partner, Josephine Ogolin., was accidentally shot last week, but Stella quickly consented to Evetyn ALPEGENE take her place. Among the others you may meet is the former Miss Jean Gidley who was also shot recently—but it was with one of Dan Cupid’s arrows. You will be enraptured by the antics of our female acrobats, Martha Baldwin, Carol Drouin, Linda Buccia- relli, Victoria Peterson, Leda Ghieri, Theresa Parella, Helen McBurney, Jessie Lupton, Edna Howsman, Lucille McDonough, Fern Johnston, Lucille Data, Merriam Cross, and Freda Bria, as they scamper hither, thither and yon under the big top. Their agility reminds one of monkeys. They also chatter. You will be enthralled by the echoing voice of the world’s champion hog caller, Ann Perricone, and by our nimble Lester (or is it Chester?) Clark, who dives into a pool of water three feet deep, from a platform 100 feet in the air. You will be en- chanted with our hula dancers, Mary Madigan, Margaret Foley and Slavka Alexich. You will laugh uproariously at our jocose clowns, Lido Banducci, Alfred Anderegg, Gus Cakos, Taylor Knight, Clyde Mason, Harold Smersfelt, Bobbie Robbins, Richard Jones, Spencer Prange, Karl Johnson, Fred Carico, Charley Giovannetti and Phil Picton, led by their king, the great Eugene Marshall, as they trip over their own feet or slap themselves in the face. You will gaze hypnotized by our snake charmer, Celia Muzzi, while she walks nonchalantly among the most poisonous of the venomous reptiles. You will hold your breath, as on the wire swaying 75 feet above your head, Junsuki Agari carries Norvelle Juri and Sono Adachi on his head while riding a bicycle. You will cover your ears as our big 17-inch naval gun in rapid succession hurtles Naomi Brown, Alice Olson, and Marjorie O’Neill Mealman into the air. You will sympathize with little Anna Mae Williams as she is being used as a baseball by our Powerful Lady, Margaret Casey at the bat. You will sit with bated breath as Walter Kreutzen, our blond daredevil, steps into the cage and charms 55 wild tigers with his soothing sax. Never before or never again will you see such juggling as that done by Bill Faulkner and Jess Gardner. You will be scared out of your wits as Bill McLaughlin catches Johnny Starke like a football, from a tremendous height. “Hercules Henry” Kong, otherwise known as King, will astonish you as he lifts 17 h orses, 3 cows, Nestle Lewis, Evelyn Alpegene, Mary Morri, and Dorothy Hanson. Please don’t scream when you see Jack Casey and Bob Vermette dive from a platform 117 feet in the air into Velma Siemer’s thimble. You will be ter- rified by the blood-curdling half-man, half-beast, Elton Williams. A thrill that you'll only know once in a long lifetime comes when, from the 75-foot ladder, Betty Mae Thomas leaps into the air in her sensational fire dive. Our famous yodeling peanut vendors, Elaine Eubanks, Hilda Pimm, Betty Poage, Katie Polich, Ruby Pons, Pearl Villa, and Lorraine Storey, will amuse you in the approved Swiss style. You’ll get your money’s worth ten times. The evening begins in fifteen minutes. Get your tickets now and have the choice seats of the house. Buy them at the red and blue wagon at your right. Come on in, ladies and gentlemen, come on in. Eprror’s Note: In wandering around the circus grounds waiting for the big show to start, we spy the tent gang involved in a crap game. In as much as Kenny Henson owned the dice, he had quite a pile of clothing in front of him. Doug Salmi seemed to be the heaviest loser, although Eddie Re, General Pearson and Wagner Williams were run- ning him a close race. “Schnozzle” Combis threw the dotted discs with a colossal “hotch-cha-cha-cha”, and John Elefther, Bryan Birch and Charley Nagy, expert though they are at the pastime, were forced to retire from the game. Walter Hattich and “Red” LeFebvre seemed to be pretty adept with Brother Henson’s dominoes, as they seemed to be doing fairly well for themselves. Further ramblings revealed John Calletti and Stanley Beck hard at work in the menagerie. They were feeding and watering the monkeys, while Clifford Davies and (Continued on Page 26) a — Boarp OF COMMISSIONERS Honor SOCIETY WINGED SHIELD GirLs’ LEAGUE HospitaL GIRLS Lrprary GIRLS GirRL RESERVES Rapro CLuB STAGECRAFT CLASS PuysioLocy CLUB Hi-Y Cus JOURNALISM ORCHESTRA BAND RICHMOND Press CLUB CALENDAR First row: Olson, Brensel, Morri, Dugan.

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS HE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS is a body of nine student executives who are elected by the members of the Student Association at the end of each semester. This board, under supervision of Miss Hannah Drewry, a faculty member, directs student activities and disciplinary measures for one term. Throughout the semester our officers have shown in their transaction of student business that they have fully complied with the expectations of the Student Associa- lion. Prominent among the accomplishments of the Commissioners are the following: a benefit football game to secure money for new band uniforms; a night theater rally for the first basketball game of the season; the abolition of Student Body noon dances on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and the substitution of noon dances for all, every day of the week; and a Student Body program of school talent with a sho-boat as the theme. The fact that it has not been necessary to bring one case before the student court shows the respect the students have for their officers. The semester has been a remarkable one in many ways. The sale of Student Asso- ciation cards met with exceptional results, a record-breaking number of 720 students purchasing them, compared to 619 the previous semester. This increase speaks well not only for the students, but for the leaders, the Board of Commissioners. Bill McLaughlin has been the president of the Board this semester. The other officers have been Jess Gidley, vice-president; Mary Morri, secretary-treasurer; Paul Blank, commissioner of law and order; John O'Malley, commissioner of boys’ athletics; Alice Olson, commissioner of girls’ athletics; Gus Cakos, student judge; Geoffrey Yates, prosecuting attorney; Eleanor Brensel, auditor; and Muriel Dugan, social chairman. Fill McLaughlin, experienced football and basketball player on Richmond High’s athletic teams during the past three years, has been an excellent officer in presiding over Student Body meetings, programs, and general assemblies. Much of the credit for a term which has been noted for its good spirit is due to the leadership of the president and his board. HONOR SOCIETY QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP on the Honor Society are a high degree of scholar- ship and of citizenship. The platinum pin, the highest honor award, was presented to Martha Baldwin during the first quarter. Fifteen students attained membership and twenty-three students retained their gold pins. Last quarter four girls received the platinum pin award: Catherine Bastin, Matilda Dudziak, Elva Green, and Mary Romero. Thirteen new students received certificates and twenty-five members were retained. The officers for the first quarter were: Arthur Stribley, president; James Brien, vice-president; Olga Milicevich, secretary-treasurer.

WINGED SHIELD A RESPONSIBILITY FAR GREATER than that given to the average boy rests upon the members of the Winged Shield Society. Created as an organization to promote the welfare of Richmond High, the society has become of great usefulness to the school. The Winged Shield Society is composed of boys who have been awarded the block R, the circle R, the managerial R, and boys who have been presidents of student organizations that have a member of the faculty as a sponsor. Their duties consist of handling traffic at athletic contests and taking care of ticket sales. During the past term the following boys served as officers: Don Bignall, president; John Ivancich, vice-president; Elton Brombacher, secretary. wi M : at ” nee aa eal Sai ea iis he uo Senior Class Officers— Henson, Abernethy, Brown, Casey, Alexich.

GIRLS’ LEAGUE EVERY GIRL IN THE SCHOOL automatically becomes a member of the Girls’ League which was organized to serve the community and the school. Miss Elizabeth Kinnear, dean of girls, is adviser of the League. The girls who held office this semester were: Phyllis Tandy, president; Rose Ann Gordon, vice-president; and Anita Drummey, secretary. Two meetings have been held this term. The first one was on October 2. After Phyllis Tandy had welcomed the new students, Mrs. Emily Axtell, home teacher of physically handicapped children, reviewed many of the interesting incidents that happened on her trip to Europe and the Holy Land. Miss Neba Neville concluded the program by playing four piano selections. The second meeting was held on December 12. Muriel Dugan urged the girls to bring gifts for the Girls’ League annual! Christmas drive to help needy families. Matilda Dudziak gave a talk on “The Human Side of Celebrities.” Dorothy Simms followed with a speech dealing with “The Home Life in the Missions.” The radio number on the program was an interview between a radio announcer, played by Loretta Andrade, and Willa Cather, the novelist, played by Delphina Franco. This skit was introduced by Dorothy Vestal. Phyllis Tandy was the presiding officer. HOSPITAL GIRLS TEN GIRLS ARE CHOSEN at the beginning of each semester by Miss Clara McLaurin and Miss Alice Bagley for their citizenship and scholarship to serve as hospital girls in the gymnasium. Their duties are to keep the study room and the hospital room in order during the period that they are in charge. The students who were hospital girls this term were: Dorothy Bergen, Marion Reeb. Ruth Barrett, Marian O’Brien, Valerie Bennetts, Louise Cram, Opal Gillham, Marie Markus, Phyllis Parr, and Shirley Michel. Bonnie Cooper, Velma Jacobs, Elsine Beck, Jean Williams, Carol Hunt, Lucy Musso, Ina Corrigan, and Winifred Renfree were gym office girls. Edna Wickersheim and Zola Hardisty checked equipment during the day. LIBRARY GIRLS PERFORMING A GREAT SERVICE to the school as a whole, and to the library in particular, are the library girls. Every period of the day there is a girl assisting at the desk. She collects slips, checks attendance, issues books and magazines from the desk, and helps the students in various ways. Marion Gordon, high senior, was selected president of the library girls this semes- ter. Assisting her were Catherine Bastin, vice-president; Marjorie Spaulding, secretary ; and Fay Hallstrom, social chairman. During the Christmas holidays, the girls held a Christmas tree party. A small tree was decorated and presents were distributed among the girls. Another prominent social activity was their visit to the opera, “The Magic Flute”, held at the Scottish Rite Temple in Oakland. j Those serving as library girls this semester were Mary Romero, Fay Hallstrom. Jane Jenkins, Marjorie Spaulding, Mary Tom Shelton, Marion Gordon, Yuriko Sugi- hara, Mary McVittie, Jane Johnson and Catherine Bastin. GIRL RESERVES A NEW SPIRIT PREVAILED at the opening of the Girl Reserves 1934 season. A larger membership made it possible for Peggy Horner, president, to carry out plans for a very successful term. On September 20, the club went on a Weiner Roast at Blake’s Quarry. The weather was cold, but it didn’t affect the appetites nor the good times. On October 11, the Girl Reserves gave the sophomore girls a party in order to interest them in the Girl Reserve club. Recognition services for nineteen new members were held in the Community theater on November 8. After the Girl Reserve rituals, the girls were initiated by the old members. The new members are: Marguerite Spraw, Wilda Skow, Alberta Nelson, Audrey Dunster, Elda Rolando, Grace De Shazer, Jeanne McBurney, Dorothy Young- Jove, Frances Pearson, Joan Harper, Betty Williams, Mary Freitas, Jean Chapin, Patricia Gardella, Helen Moitoza, Bertha Hagen, Genevieve Cooper, Frances Barick, and June Hopper. The sophomore girls had charge of the meeting on November 22. They presented a short play on manners and good behavior. The most important accomplishment of the Girl Reserves this year was the special program given on November 18. The Glee Club sang while the Girl Reserves presented tabloids of Christmas through the different ages. The first scene represented the Three Wise Men: Pearl Anderson, Edna Wickersheim, and Stella Anellini. Peggy Horner, president of the Girl Reserves, portrayed Mary, and June Hopper, Joseph, as in the second scene the Three Wise Men brought gifts to the Child in the manger. As the Glee Club sang “Adeste Fideles’”, the remainder of the Girl Reserves gave a solemn interpretation of the nuns of the Middle Ages before the altar. In the fourth tabloid Jean Chapin, Mary Tom Shelton, Patricia Gardella, and Bernice Corrigan enacted a scene from a modern Christmas. As a blue light played on the silvery Christmas tree and the Glee Club sang “Silent Night”, the curtain was slowly lowered. Officers: President, Peggy Horner; vice-president, Edna Wickersheim; secretary, Ruth Moitoza; treasurer, Pearl Anderson; social chairman, Miriam Walsh; program chairman, Marie Markus. RADIO CLUB HEADING THE Rapro Cuus this term was Edward Thompson. He was assisted by Leland Hardesty, Byron Phillips, Ernest Bruce, Manuel Goularte, and Alfred Anderegg. The fellows spent the term constructing long and short wave receivers, short wave transmitters, and rebuilding old sets and repairing others. Ed Thompson put in his spare time constructing numerous types of receivers and oscillators for the Applied Science students to use. These were on display in the laboratory in Room 160 during the last weeks of the term. The main objective of the Radio Club is to learn the principles of radio through study, experimentation, and actual construction. Another activity is the preparation for the Amateur Radio Operator’s License examination. Besides their regular meetings each week, the six members have spent many evenings working on sets and parts, and studying for the examination. Radio is rapidly becoming a most important factor in the life of the modern world, and this club aims to prepare boys for active service in that line. Mr. Herbert Welch, the faculty adviser, outlines the course of study and construction. STAGECRAFT CLASS CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE success of many R. U. H. S. programs and activities, the stagecraft class this semester consisted of four people: Johnny O'Malley, Joe Michelis, Grace Horton and Lucille Data. The class is supervised by Mrs. Bernice James. The “Sho-boat” scenery for the student body program on October 10 was designed and made by the class. They also drew and painted the various cows, horses and chickens which adorned the Union when the Seniors held their barn dance. The stagecrafters also worked on the Girl Reserve tableaux, the Teachers’ Institute program, Senior Day program, Sophomore eirls’ party, the Junior-Senior tea, the Senior banquet and many programs given before the assembly. PHYSIOLOGY CLUB “TQ INCREASE KNOWLEDGE of the important facts in healthful living” is the purpose of the Physiology Club, which was founded in 1928. The subject of this term’s work was the study of public health. During the term the girls visited the Richmond Health Center. heard Miss Rachael Miller, who works as school nurse under the SERA, and had a Christmas party on December 20, at which they made popcorn balls for the Community Chest. The club consists of girls who take, or have taken physiology. Miss Helen Parker and Miss Alyce Clark are the faculty advisers. Members of the club include: Ruth Curry, president; Thelma Fracisco, secretary: Doris Adams, Frances Anderson, Dorothy Berreth, Carolyn Brandaw, Hazel Burch, Dorothea Davis, Rose Enos, Grace Fregulia, Phyllis Haley, Ethel Harpin, Virginia Hull, Cora Liehe, Alice McCreagh, Leila McLennan, Michiko Mabuchi, Lucy Piasente, and Charlotte Ballantyne. HI-Y CLUB THE SEMESTER HAS BEEN A BUSY ONE for the Hi-Y Club. Outstanding speakers and interesting programs have been presented at its Monday evening meetings. Special features such as suppers, bean feeds, musical entertainments and skits have been given. The Y. M. C. A. High School Boys’ Conference, held at Stanford University Decem- ber 1 and 2, was attended by eight members. Social affairs have not been neglected by this organization. A skating party, open to the public, was held at Rollerland; a barn dance was held in the Hillside Club in Berkeley; and an installation-social was given at the close of the semester. Athletics also play a part in the life of the Hi-Y Club. Its basketball team, composed of R. U. H. S. students who are former members of school teams, has made an enviable record. At the time of publication the team has gone through eight games undefeated, making an average of forty-two points per game. Officers during the past semester have been Alden Pratt, president; Kenneth Alexander, vice-president; Ray McPherson, secretary: Jack Casey, treasurer: Charles Hahn, social chairman; Clovis Duncan, membership chairman; Fred Ball and Mel- wood Walker, athletic co-chairmen; and Jim Brien, finance chairman. The Hi-Y Club is sponsored by the local Young Men’s Christian Association, whose «eneral secretary, Frederique F. Breen, acts as adviser to the club. The club’s purpose, “To create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high stand- ards of Christian character”, is carried out through a program according to the Y. M. C. A. triangle of body, mind, and spirit development. Forty boys have been members of the organization this semester, the largest number in the history of the club. Only seven will be lost through graduation, and the members are looking forward to another enjoyable semester this Spring. i ie) Some of the gang. Sailor Pleich and his Shadow.

Mr. Reginald White and Wikie JOURNALISM WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE STAFF experiencing their first taste of news-writing, the journalism class, during the past semester, published sixteen issues of the Hi-Nus and assisted in the writing of the “Pageant”. On November 3, eight reporters attended the Central California Press Convention which was held at Stanford University. They attended sectional meetings, listened to speeches by various newspaper men, and made a tour of the campus. Those who attended the convention were: Alden Pratt, Bud McLaughlin, Jack McKune, Elton Williams, Robert Martin, June Hopper, Willa LaPlante and Margaret Casey. They were accompanied by Miss Norine Buchanan, journalism instructor. The Bay District Press Day, which was sponsored by the University of California campus publications, was held on December 17. The outstanding feature of the day was a speech by Royce Brier, San Francisco reporter who won the Pulitzer Prize. Butler Lauritzen and Bud McLaughlin were the Richmond representatives. Alden Pratt, who was one of the three members of the class who had previous jour- nalistic training, proved to be a competent editor. Jack McKune and Margaret Casey, also second-term journalists, served as business manager and humor editor. The remainder of the staff consisted of the following: Willa LaPlante, make-up editor; Bob Canning and Bud McLaughlin, boys’ sports editors; June Hopper, girls’ sports editor; Elton Williams, feature editor; Robert Schultz, circulation manager; Butler Lauritzen, exchange editor; Bob Martin, headline writer; Angelo Combis, alumni editor; Dorothea Davis, school notes editor; Delphina Franco, proof reader; and Ray McPherson, photographer. ORCHESTRA AFTER PARTICIPATING at numerous programs, rallies, games and other school func- tions, the Richmond Union High Schoo! band and orchestra will conclude a successful semester January 25. There are 37 members in the R. U. H. S. band, and 29 members in the orchestra. Both organizations are directed by Mr. George Morris. For the purpose of starting a benefit fund for the purchase of new band uniforms, a football game was played between the senior and the lower classmen on November 7 of last semester. Although the proceeds did not amount to enough to purchase the uniforms immediately, there is sufficient to make a favorable start.

RICHMOND PRESS CLUB PLANS For A Press Cius had been suggested in the past but it w re put into effect by the organization of the Rich- as not until October 2 of this semester that the plans we mond Press Club. Fred S. Newsom, manager of the Richmond Daily Independent, spoke at the first meeting on various phases of newspaper work that the club might study. The second and third meetings were devoted to adoption of the constitution and election of officers. The officers of the semester were: Phil Goetell, president: Ruth Robinson, vice-president; Margaret Casey, secretary; Catherine Healy, treasurer; and Willa La Plante, publicity agent. On December 4 the club visited the Oakland National Engraving company. The object of the Richmond Press Club is to bring all students who have taken, or are taking journalism into closer relationship, to have social affairs, and to study various phases of journalism. The alumni present at the meetings were Ruth Robinson, who was instrumental in forming the club, and who was temporary chairman; Mrs. George Garrard (Mary Lou Hollyman), Ruth Yeater, Catherine Healy, David Newsom, Bernice Jaramillo, Grace Childs, James Miller, Mary Ellen Foley, Margaret Jenkins, and Dorothy West- wood. 1.

Clark was hauling water to the elephants. And so it went, here, there, and everywhere, the high seniors were romping about, excitedly engaged in enjoying themselves in this, their final day of freedom and frolic. Well, it’s too bad there isn’t room to describe the actual show, but you may be sure it was a gala, colorful affair. pet se SEVEN HOURS A DAY AT RICHMOND HIGH Sept. 4—Back to school after three months of loafing in the sun.

GIRLS’ SPORTS VARSITY FOOTBALL Juntor Varsity FOOTBALL Cross Country CLuB Pray Days VaRSITY BASKETBALL B BASKETBALL AWARDS GIRLS’ SPORTS Girts’ ATHLETICS play an important role in the pageant of school life. Seven years ago, through the efforts of Miss Clara McLaurin, the Girls’ Athletic Association made its debut into the Richmond Union High School. More than 150 girls gather in the eirls’ gym every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of creating good fellowship and playing games that they enjoy. Advisers of girls’ ath- letics do not recommend school competition, but the girls get some competition from interclass games. There are six teams that play against each other: Low Sophs, High Sophs, Low Juniors, High Juniors, Low Seniors, and High Seniors. G. A. A. SEASONS Any girl can be pleased in athletics. Hockey, which is the most popular sport, is played at the beginning of the fall semester. The mid-term game is volley-ball for those who like a less active sport. In the spring basketball fiends can shoot buckets, pivot, juggle, and play basketball to their hearts’ content. In the middle of the term ithe sport changes from basketball to baseball. For those who especially like swim- ming or tennis, lessons are given by the gym instructors. Miss McLaurin teaches tennis on Thursday mornings on the courts across from the City Hall. Miss Bagley conducts swimming classes on Tuesday evenings at the Natatorium. NUMERALS AND HOCKEY This term’s hockey teams no doubt have caused our gym instructors more anxiety than any teams before it. The Low Juniors, High Juniors, and Low Seniors played off the semi-finals with exactly the same amount of games won and lost, and, stranger still, with exactly the same total of goals. The first game of the finals eliminated the High Juniors from the tournament. The Low Seniors and Low Juniors played off three games, all of which ended in ties. It was because of this that hockey season had to be extended three weeks. After they had played two tie games, Miss McLaurin asked the girls if they would rather have the next night’s game end the tournament or if they would rather play three more games. Each team, afraid of the other’s strength, came back with a decision in favor of three more games. The first two games were ties. The Juniors won the last game by a score of 2-1. By winning this game the Low Juniors also won their numerals. If another tie game had been played, both teams would have received numerals. G. A. A. AWARDS Besides striving for friendship and fun, every G. A. A. member strives for her awards. The highest award is the gold pin. Not only does this pin mean that the girl has earned 600 points, but also that she knows the fundamentals of swimming and tennis. Alice Olson, commissioner of Girls’ Athletics, was the only one to receive her eold pin this semester. Five hundred points is the goal for the Winged R, the next highest award. Bearers of the Winged R are: Catherine Bastin, Matilda Dudziak, Alta Nelson and Amelia Rosales. The Circle R is the 400 point award. Circle R’s were given to Pearl Anderson, Loretta Andrade, Mary Baldwin, Frances Christ, Opal Gillman, Zola Hardisty, [la Drouin, June Hopper, Marie Markus, Winifred Renfree, Miriam Walsh, and Edelene Winters. The three lowest awards are: Star, 300 points: Second Chevron, 200 points; First Chevron, 100 points. These latter three awards are given out at the mid-term and end-term banquets. At the end of each game season a banquet is held. Captain John Ivancich, S. Cortese, Cecchi, Casey, Tandy, Millovich, Coach Frank Ribbel Johansen, Kosich, Ball, Brombacher, Muller Hahn, Moore, Milicevich, McTaggart, Lewis, Bignall, Pontious, Blank O'Malley, Weeks, Ostrander, Vermette, Le Febvre, Abernethy, Swan, McLaughlin J. Wilson, E. Edwards, Blair, Brockway, Neckel, Whalen, Lowrie VARSITY FOOTBALL AT LEAST ONE FOOTBALL YEAR out of every three is a build-up for the next two years. In that season the team is comprised mostly of sophomores and juniors with a few seasoned men to form the backbone of the team. Usually, these few veterans are not enough to carry the rest of the inexperiencd squad through a successful season from the standpoint of games won. In the course of this cycle, the recently finished football season was that third year. Though there were several seniors on the first two teams, they, like the sophomores, were comparatively inexperienced. Senior members of the first team who played their first football last year were Bob Moore, end; Jack Casey, halfback; and Howard Brockway, tackle. Bob Vermette’s only previous football experience was with the Berkeley Goofs. The first game of the season, that with Mt. Diablo, was taken unexpectedly from Richmond’s victory column by Barlow’s 50-yard pass to Benny Newman. The score at the end of the game stood 19-18 in favor of the Red Devils. Crockett was tackled by the Richmond second team, which proved itself entirely capable of the task by coming home with a 6-0 victory. In the game with San Rafael, Richmond functioned perfectly to down a much heavier team, 21-0. Alameda, a comparatively weak team, gave Richmond a scare, but the Blue and Red barely nosed out a victory, 12-7. The Hornets led at the half. A third quarter drive following a successful exchange of punts gave Richmond a second touchdown. Piedmont, beyond question this region’s strongest team, was the varsity’s next opponent. Richmond played its best ball of the year to hold the Highlanders to a 12-0 win. Don Bignall came within ten yards of scoring when he ran back a Piedmont punt 75 yards. Marshall Ede, unanimous choice for All-Eastbay fullback, and Fran- cisco, diminutive but shifty halfback, each broke away for long runs © hich resulted in the two Purple scores. Richmond was entirely unable to get going in the Hayward contest which the Farmers took. 19-6. A sandy field stopped the Blue and Red offense, and the defense was decidedly off form. Vallejo, possessing one of the strongest teams that the school has ever known, proved too much for the Richmondites. The score was 21-7; The squad closed its season losing to Alhambra, winners over Vallejo, in a game featuring Richmond throughout. The contest was a hard one to lose, for the Oilers out-gained, out-punted and out-passed their opponents completely. However, the scoring punch was lacking as it was on several other occasions. Coach Ribbel’s boys hung up their cleats with three wins and five defeats. Bob Moore and Bill McLaughlin leave a splendid record behind them. Bill shone on end-around plays and pass-catching. while Bob was a tower of streneth on defense. “Red” Le Febvre. who alternated with these men at end, always played good ball. Big Jim Wilson with his fine place-kicking, and Howard Brockway, adept at opening holes on offense, caused the opposition plenty of trouble at the tackles. Frank Kosich, euard, though small, was a constant thorn in the flesh to the opposing team. Frank illuminated himself in the Alameda game. Bob Vermette, an unknown quality at the first of the season, proved himself well worthy of his position, being outstanding in every game on both offense and defense. Bob Abernethy at guard made up for his lack of height with ability. Wilbur Neckel. center, not only held down the toughest line position, but also was in the center of every play and at the bottom of every pile. Melo Milicevich, also a letter man, will be one of the principals of next year’s team at center. Fred Ball. half. who can be considered the most valuable man in the backfield because of his passing and kicking duties, pulled the team out of many a dangerous position with his fine punts. Jack Casey, Tom Martinez, and Adolph Anderegg all saw plenty of action as Fred’s running mate, and provided lots of excitement for their opponents. Don Bignall, at quarter, besides always calling a good signal game, brought the stands to their feet time after time on flashy punt returns or sweeping end runs. Elton Brombacher, who substituted for Bignall, used his speed to good advantage on many occasions. Coach Ribbel has high hopes for the coming season with the following prominent members of the varsity and junior varsity returning as linemen: Pontious, Kosich, Wilson. Blair. Milicevich, Lewis, Ostrander, McTaggart, Johansen, Swan, Muller, Millovich, Cortese and Tandy. He also has good material for the backfield in Ball, Whalen, Anderege, Brombacher, Hahn, Rocha, Edwards, and Weeks. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL “THIS HAS BEEN ONE of the most successful seasons a Junior varsity team has ever had, in that most of the team was composed of sophomores who will be back to play on the varsity for the next two years.” So Coach Ribbel characterized the Jayvee foot- ball season. The Jayvees won three games and lost two games to teams from Berkeley High. In the first game of the season the Jayvees encountered the strong Berkeley B’s, who have remained undefeated for eleven years. Two blocked kicks resulted in a 13-0 score for the winners. Richmond had two scoring opportunities, but was unable to punch the ball over. The Jayvees came back a week later with vengeance, and administered a sound beat- ing to the Alameda Goofs. The Red and Blue backs ran wild and the final score was 33-0. After a week’s absence from the gridiron, the Richmondites returned to play hosts to the Alhambra B’s from Martinez. Two conversions proved to be the margin of victory for the Jayvees, as the game ended with the score 14-12. The Berkeley Goofs gave Coach Ribbel’s lightweights their second defeat of the season by a score of 9-6. The Jayvees’ running attack was not functioning and the team could not advance the ball past midfield most of the game. In their last game of the season the Jayvees won a close battle from the Boys’ club of Richmond. The game was a lot closer than the score, 12-0, indicates. A- series of tricky reverses, end runs, and short passes by the Boys’ club had the Red and Blue team baffled, but they finally got going in the last quarter and shoved over two touchdowns. CROSS-COUNTRY CLUB IT WAS THE PURPOSE of the organization of the Cross-Country squad during the past term to start developing distance men for the spring track team. The squad is com- posed for the most part of sophomores who will have three years of track ahead of them. The Cross-Country runners, divided into two teams, the Flashes and the Bohunks, have been limited to three races this term because of the muddy track. However, most f the boys have kept up their practice and the team is expected to reorganize shortly. The Cross-Country squad has participated in two races during the halves of foot- ball games, and one after school. Manuel Silva, veteran varsity miler and a member of the Bohunks, was winner of every contest, though the Bohunks as a team were the victors of the last two races. The first race was held October 18, and was won by Silva, with Art Menighelli, another member of the varsity, second; and Norman Hall, third. In the race of Octo- ber 25, Norman Hall took a second with Roy Kneeland third. The last contest saw these two boys reverse their place behind Silva, Kneeland second and Hall third. The following boys are members of the Cross-Country Running Club and have run in at least one of the races: Bohunks, Manuel Silva, Art Menighelli, Roy Kneeland, Norman Hall, Ed White, Allen Williams, Alfred Tetzschner, Tom Pulos, Art Conemac, Charles Ostrander; Flashes, Norbert Silvas, Harry Smith, Sam Berg, Chris Vasquez, Robert Ziemer, Dan Bignall, Joe Rusich, Don Himes, Jack Wolleson, A. Sullivan, and Don Garrard: PLAY DAYS Iv WAS THE PRIVILEGE of the Richmond High G. A. A. to act as hostess to the Eastbay Federation Play Day on November 17. In this meet miore schools are represented than at any other Play Day held in the Eastbay. Sixteen high schools participate. Every semester one of these schools acts as hostess to the twelve representatives that attend from each of the other sixteen schools. Harvest time and Thanksgiving made up the theme of the play day this year. Eleanor Brensel acted as our school hostess. Another sports day to which the girls looked with much anticipation was the State Teachers College Play Day which was held in San Francisco on October 20. These girls attended: Alice Olson, commissioner of girls’ athletics, Anita McDonald, and Mary Baldwin. ’ First row: Coach Hempler, McNany, E. McLaughlin, Wilson, Milicevich, White, Johnson. Second row: Cortese, Duncan, Ball, Pratt, Bolljahn. Third row: Marcos, Canning, Pontious, Whalen, Vincent. VARSITY BASKETBALL Coacu HeMpPLER’s Varsity BASKETBALL turnout had one regular, Fred Ball, from his 1933 team. A number of second-string players of last year were back again. Among these were Don McNany, Bob Canning, Clovis Duncan, Edwin Marcos, J. D. Vincent, and Sam Cortese. Up from the B’s were Alden Pratt, Ed McLaughlin, and Melo Mili- cevich. The juniors on the team are Jim Wilson, Jack Bolljahn, Leonard Smith, Glen Whalen, and Ed Pontious. Ed White, Ed Johansen, and Bill Johnson are three sopho- mores who show promise. Don Bignall, regular forward last year, who was injured in the Senior football game, will be in condition for the January practice games and the league games. The Red and Blue squad won their first two games in a decisive manner, defeating Tamalpais and San Rafael by scores of 29-16 and 22-9. After the San Rafael game a lack of shooting ability was apparent. John Swett varsity took them into camp, 24-17. A 22-13 score was run up by Emery High but Coach Hempler’s squad began to show improvement in the McClymonds game, losing to this team in the closing minutes by three points. They continued to show improvement against Hayward, dropping this contest, 21-16. In the last game of the 734 season the Richmondites came from behind in the second half to beat the Mt. Diablo quintet by a score of 25-17. During January, Coach Hempler will send his charges into several more practice games before the A. C. A. L. league opens. The Red and Blue quintet will travel to Alameda for their first league game on February 1. By that time the team should have its true stride, and they should be fit and ready for the A. C. A. L. competition. The Richmond High A. C. A.

B BASKETBALL WITH ONLY ONE REGULAR from last year’s team, Leonard Anderson, back for another season, Coach Ribbel was faced with the prospect of forming his team from inexperi- enced players. Mike Lewis, forward, and Gene Corr, guard, were on the B squad last season, but they saw little action. The other two members of the first team, Russ Chris- topher, lanky center, and Arthur Mythen, pivoting guard, are playing their first year of basketball for Richmond High. The other members of the team are: forwards, Charles Covell, Raymond Bowles, Leo Costa, Alfred Tetzschner, George Kelleghan; centers, Peter Bogliolo, Dick Ferguson; guards, Charles Hahn, Billy Moses, an d Shirley Weeks. Coach Ribbel, with his usual optimism, sent his team into their first game against Tamalpais with only three days’ practice. A 31-21 score carried out the coach’s con- fidence in his team. In their first home game, the B’s trounced the San Rafael B’s, 21- 13. Travelling to Crockett to play the Crockett B’s, the Red and Blue lichtweights again came out on top when Leonard Anderson dropped one in from outside the foul circle to make the count 24-22. The lightweights from Emery High proved to be easy victims for the B’s, and the score was 18-16. Coach Ribbel’s charges took their fifth and sixth victories in as many games, from McClymonds and Hayward High light- weights by scores of 17-13 and 26-8. The B’s closed their 1954 season with a decisive win over the visiting Mt. Diablo High B’s, 39-9. Prospects of another A. C. A. L. championship for Richmond High in the B division are seen by the basketball fans. With a few more practice games during January, Coach Ribbel will be ready to send his squad on the floor to vie with the other A. C. A. L. lightweights. The B team of 1934-35 should be able to uphold the record made by preceding Red and Blue B’s in league competition. As the book goes to press, the B team has won eight straight games, having defeated Crockett, 30-21, in the first game of 1935.

I have planned, I have striven, I have prayed, but the gods will not heed; The best that is in me I’ve given, Yet the will has not brought the deed. —Patricia G. Knox, 1-11. LEAVES I like to hear and see the leaves That shake and whisper in the breeze, That bow and nod their glossy selves, As dance the fairies or the elves. I like to be where I can see The leaves upon a poplar tree, That are so smoothen and so green, And glimmer like a silken sheen. The eucalyptus leaf is gray, With just a tint of green in day. It sighs and moans as if it grieves, And makes a buzz just like the bees. But leaves that are the best of all Are those that change when it is fall To gold and orange, sere and brown, And then come softly tumbling down. —Doris Coudyser, 1-10. WINTER BLUES There’s an adage “bout the spring, Turning fancies toward a ring; But I find that winter, too, Makes a fellow feel quite blue When he can’t afford a ring. —Joe Moore, 1-11. NOVEMBER, 1934 Billowy clouds are drifting by, Silhouettes on a deep blue sky, Wafted around on a gentle breeze, Shading and rustling the leaves on trees. But soon the clouds get thick and dark, The wind blows swiftly through the park, A drop falls here, a drop falls there, And soon it’s raining everywhere. Adeline Swenson, 2-12. MY ROOM Pennants gay my room adorn, Though others call the mess forlorn; Banners loud, a ribbon bow, A tennis racket, a piece to sew; I love my room. Nebraska, Stanford—red and white, California—to the right; Books and posies pillows pink, Too cluttered for older folks to think; I love my room. A battered ball, a football score, A kitten tangled in thread galore; A wrap untidy adorns the bed, The stuffed toy dog’s upon his head; ] loy e my room. It’s pink and white, and red and gold, j It’s orange and purple, and brown and bold; To dream in there, to plan awhile, To ery, to laugh, to sigh, and smile; I love my room. —Virginia Tate, 1-11.

THE DESERTED SHIP She is a ship of many years, Who has served her purpose at sea. Her frame has rotted from age and wear And a phantom soon she'll be. Her decks are worn from tramping feet, Her sails are badly torn. She has run her course through rain and sleet, And weathered the worst of storms. Few are the ports she failed to greet, She has sailed the seven seas, But now, her sailing days complete, She calmly takes her ease. —Harold Miller, 2-11. 8 t THE SEA QUEEN Against the wharf she majestically floats, The queen of the sea, the boat of boats. Her engines throb as they strongly turn, Longing to make the high seas churn. And on the high bridge the Captain stands, Barking and yelling many commands. Then from the wharf the ropes are set free, And the mighty vessel points her nose out to sea. Out into the mist she slowly floats, The queen of the sea, the boat of boats. —Jack Taylor, 1-11. FOG Ships pass each other in the fog, And whistle like a howling dog: Lights bob up and are barely seen Because gray fog is in between. Sea gulls wheel and shrilly cry, Diving about in the sullen sky; The sun is hidden in the dull gray air, And the day is leaden everywhere. —Douglas Miller, 2-11. INDIAN LULLABY The twilight o’er the prairie steals; The grass its benediction feels, ! hear an Indian mother croon Her babe to sleep by yonder moon. The moon peeps out from that tall tree; Rest safe, the heavens smile on thee. Hush, hush, my Moonbeam, go to sleep, While the Great Spirit watch doth keep. —Dorothy Howell, 1-10. HILLS Sometime when yo’re jus’ foolin’ round, Have nothin’ else to do but clown, Go climb them hills of purple brown, Jes’ set and watch the sun go down. To me, there’s nary a prettier sight Then them thar hills afore the night: They sort of chill your spine a mite; Reckon I can’t define it quite. Why shucks, I ain’t no mushy guy, But gosh, those hills most make me cry; So still, so rough, so grand they lie. Say. pard, don’t tell me I heared you sigh. —Elsine Beck, 1-11. CHEWING GUM “I’m going to be a postman when I grows up,” says me. A uniform and a mail bag will suit me to a tee. O my, the busy time I'll have a sortin’ peoples’ mail. ll bring you something every day; you'll never see me fail. But O, the wages are so small, there’s nothing left for gum at all. Don’t want to be a mail man, so a clown [ll have to be. I'll charge the big folks nothing, and the kids can get in free. I’m going to have the best of times a standin’ on my head, And I won’t eat many peanuts or I'll probably land in bed. But O, the wages are so small, there’s nothing left for gum at all. I guess I will not be a clown, but a banker I shall be— They do not have a bit of work as far as I can see. My father is a banker and he just sits all day A countin’ piles of money that people come to pay. And having money is such fun ’cause then you can buy chewing gum. —-Margaret Coppinger, 1-10. PONDERING I sat and pondered many hours but still I can’t explain, How all the world is washed so clean in just one little rain. —Margaret Coppinger, 1-10. THE PERFECT MAN I like a man that smokes a pipe: It’s kind of nice to see A fellow sitting by the fire As cozy as can be. I like a man who has a yard, And works for many hours, Creating all around him Some beauty with his flowers. ] like a man who has some thoughts Of others than himself, Who finds that gold’s not everything When it comes to counting wealth. There are many other qualities That make a perfect man. But I’ve never seen a perfect one— Just name one if you can. —Margaret Coppinger, 1-10.

THROUGHOUT THE AGES man has required protection. Strong and dan- gerous beings and conditions have constantly been a menace to his peace and security. Even today a most necessary part of a man’s make-up is his means of protection and defense. The shield has served man throughout history as a defensive weapon. Man has needed its shelter; it has been his refuge in time of danger, and he has valued it among his most important possessions. With the advent of modern scientific invention, however, the shield has ceased, somewhat, to be an actual weapon of protection. Today it has become a symbol, because of its history and its tradition, of security and strength. Richmond High, in choosing an emblem to represent its aims and purposes, chose the Shield. Upon this Shield appear a number of other symbols that are inspiring to the student as he goes through high school. On either side are the fasces, representing the students who are bound together into a perfect union. On the upper part of the Shield appear three historic symbols of the three-fold nature of education—the lamp, representing mechanical, commercial, cultural, and professional educa- tion; the cap, standing for liberty, equality and justice; and the winged foot, symbol of physical education and athletics. The open book, in the center, stands for the democratic nature of education—it is free for the taking. On its pages we read the words “Education is the key which unlocks the storehouse of wisdom.” The rising sun is the light which education sheds on life, dispelling superstition and ignorance. Together, the symbols on our Shield represent the past with its accomplishments; the ideals of the present; and the aspirations of the future. The June, 1935 Shield hopes to give as nearly accurate a picture of Richmond High as is possible, and, as its name implies, desires to impart to its readers the aims and ideals of our school that are so well expressed on our emblem.

EDUCATION AND THE HIGH SCHOOL “EDUCATION IS THE KEY which unlocks the storehouse of wisdom.” How long and how far, though, has education travelled on the road of centuries, sometimes lost among the thickets of ignorance and almost obscured by illiteracy. Now, as we cele- brate the three hundredth anniversary of the American High School and take notice of the extensive High School curriculum, it seems but a dream that in the year 1635 the subjects offered by secondary schaols were only Latin, in prose and verse, and Greek grammar. The schools were called Latin Grammar Schools and not until 1824 was there a modern institution called a high school. It was founded in Boston in 1821 and three years after was named English High School of Boston. Students today, living in an atmosphere of ease and comfort in school, with a solid, though beautiful, building having attractive and well-kept grounds, would never recognize the fore-runner of the modern secondary institution. Not only was the first school ugly, shaped like a box of grey stone, but the building was shared with the Town watch and a fire company, Hero Engine No. 6. High schools during this time only prepared a student for college or a clerical career. No girl went to high school. The academies which prepared boys and girls for “the great end and real business of living” were more lenient and the entrance qualifications were not as rigid as those of the high school, for the academy was not connected with the college. The academy was democratic with respect to the curriculum; yet it was open only to those who were able to pay the tuition fee and to bear the expense of living away from home. The tradition of secondary education had never been connected with the education of the common people. Because of a complaint that students who had completed common school and who were not expecting to enter college could receive no further education, a committee appointed to consider this matter recommended the establishment of a new type of school. Today, nearly all high schools in the United States have a three-fold education similar to that of Richmond Union High School. They prepare students who have a cultural education for the professions : law, medicine, teaching, music, art, and writing. = ee) ° FeNS ten ES NODE | | The athletic program which is offered has as its major pur- poses the development of the physical being and the training for use of leisure. Besides, many of the athletes who have partici- pated in competitive sports while at Richmond High have followed this work as a successful voca- tion. a ArHuetics, depicting physical education. The vocational course offered at this school trains students for the industrial world.

SENIOR HISTORY HIsTorRY IS SAID TO REPEAT ITSELF; but the past semester at Richmond High is no repetition of previous history. Under the leadership of the high senior class the semester has been a history-making one. Many great things have been accomplished, and there has been a general progressive spirit that brands the semester a most successful one. With the passing of the Class of June, 1935, from the portals of Richmond High, a loss will be suffered that will be difficult to remedy or replace. Among its members are many leaders in school activities, many athletes, many who are talented in music, art, and drama, and many who excel in scholarship. In this class we find the President of the Student Association and five members of the Board of Commissioners. There are six members of the class who have the platinum pin, the highest scholarship award in the school; also, there are ten members of the Honor Society. Seventeen fellows who are graduating have won their letter in athletic competition while in high school. The most important single event of the year was the Circus. The Ways and Means Committee for the Circus, composed of graduating seniors, had much to do with the success of that project, in which close to a half of the class participated. The June Class is the largest graduating class in the history of Richmond High. For three years these one hundred and seventy-four students have worked and played together, and together will they receive their diplomas signifying the successful com- pletion of their high school careers. As a class during the past semester these one hundred and seventy-four students have worked as a group, presented a hilarious Senior Day, won the contest for Student Body Card sales, held two parties and a banquet, and crystallized plans for the erection of a name-plate for the front of the main building. As a class and as individuals, a high standard of conduct has been maintained, and Richmond High can be truly proud to graduate these young people, to give them to the community and to the nation. We wish them good fortune upon their entrance to the world, and whether they continue their education at some college, or whether they enter the world of business and labor, we are certain that they will well represent the things for which they have stood in the past as students of Richmond High.

A sunny girl, sweet in manner and kind in deed. An ardent sportsman with an aquatic trend. Overturns milestones in search of fun. Humorous or serious as the occasion demands. Her sunny face is everyplace. Christopher Corrumbus discovers Conn-lumbia. Bashful—but only when alone. She and gloom are not related. “What this world needs is a good orator! The sparkler on her finger matches the one in her eye. A lass with that “school girl complexion.” First glance—churchmouse. Second glance—vwell, this is a surprise. Through her efforts has she conquered. Light headed—but only in a blondish way. Born under star of wisdom and athletic ability. If you don’t speak for yourself—nobody else will—so she did. Wavy hair would be wasted on a man! Puts worries in a pocket with a hole in it. Watch for a dash of color and an air of optimism. Her brown eyes characterize her. Pretty to walk with, witty to talk with. Her hair and temperament don’t match. One of those strong, silent men—no doubt. He works, but still finds time for fun. Sweet and lovely. “T like his personality.” Pitched a two-hit game. You're my everystring. Some call it madness, but he calls it tennis. Personification of rhythm. Frederick Allen’s menace, No. 1, 2, and 3. To Venice he should go. Silence is the key to thought. Life’s too short to be taken seriously. He’s already cut out his career. Nothing’s important enough to make me hurry. He will be Eby No. 2. Her disposition and last name rhyme. When better bridges are built, he will build them. A student with a mechanical inclination. Hurray for Pinole. Her personality wins half her battles. Wait a minute—-I gotta see a man about a horse. There are smiles that make you happy—and giggles. Silence is golden—he’s a millionaire. Everywhere that Mary went, Dwight was sure to go. What a leader I will make. Fit as a fiddle and ready for athletics. Her angelic look may fool you. She’s engaged—what, she’s married ? You've got to be a football hero. Substantial reason for preference for blondes. Gopher, gopher, or gopher. “Where is your absence excuse?” Precious things come in small bundles. Me mother was German, and sure me father was Swedish. How about a basketball hero? This “Tex” was born at the Point. Sleepy? Her smile radiates her sunny disposition. A little dash of red pepper, a little pinch of salt and still she’s sweet. Wanna run an ad? A friend indeed. Watch out, Yehudi! Nimrod the third—Papa comes second. A chorus girl in the making. Wise to resolve, and patient to perform. Equal to all things; mischievously energetic. She made an aviator nose ’er down. A good pal and a sport. Sports writing is an art. Curses, foiled again. : : : ' MarcGARET MAHONEY ANN MARCHESCHI ALEXANDER MARCHISIO Ernest MELIN Oica MILicevicH Frep MILLER VirciniA MILLER Witson MILLER Wooprow MILLER Luana Moopy Rosert Moore Wittiam Moses Lucy Musso Wirsur NECKEL Atta NELSON CriarA NELSON CHARLEY NEWMAN GERALDINE NEWMAN ANNA OBERT IRENE OpIsIo THOMAS ORTHMAN James PacKMAN WILLIAM Pace Rar PEMBERTON BALDWIN PETERSEN Syivia Pinto Rosert PoINsert Mary Poticu VircintA Ports James ALDEN PRATT James Prescotr Encar Rossins Mary RomMeERO AMELIA ROSALES MarsorigE Rose Lois SARGENT WINIFRED SCHMIDT MaBEL SCHULTZ Say it with presence of mind, “Peg.’ Teasing but pleasing.

Such innocence—do looks deceive? He has great ability—for fun and mischief. Original and clever in all things. Her smile wins everybody. Gosh, wasn’t that “ex” awful? He’s like a sailor—a gal in every class. The echo of Wall Street- -an elephant in the circus. All talk is not wisdom that flows like running water. I can’t help it—it’s my personality. “Innocent bystander involved in sneezing fest.” Great thoughts like great deeds need no trumpet. Life is just a bowl of cherries and does he eat it up. “Red” has personality plus. (To Miss Mac) “If I don’t look as bad as I feel, I feel worse than I look.” R. U. H.

In the various clubs students have an opportunity to develop ideals of service and leadership. Heading the list of groups is the Board of Commissioners, the official representatives of the student government at Richmond High School, who have con- cluded a term of active service of which they can be truly proud. The Board of Com- missioners is a body of ten student executives. They are elected by members of the Student Association at the end of each semester. Nominations are made from an eligibility list posted in the hall prior to election. Prominent among the accomplishments of the Commissioners have been the R. U. H. S. Circus, the presentation of a student body program with artistic decorations and a modernistic garden as its theme, the purchasing of band uniforms, the continu- ation of the tennis court fund, and the Student Body party which was won by the graduating Seniors after the interclass competition for the greatest sale of Student Rody cards. The fact that it has not been necessary to bring one case before the Student Court speaks well for the attitude of the students and the leadership of the officers. The sale of Student Body cards this semester was the largest that has ever been made during a spring term. The commissioners were largely responsible for this splendid achievement. Bob Canning has been the President of the Board this semester. Other officers assisting him were: Bill Blair, vice-president; Bonnie Cooper, James Brien, commissioner of law and order; Muriel Dugan, Kd Smith, student judge; Clovis Duncan, commissioner ‘of boys’ athletics: June Hopper, commissioner of girls’ athletics; Nadine Williams. social chairman; and Eleanor Brensel, auditor. Miss Hannah Drewry has served as the faculty adviser to the Commissioners. f secretary-treasurer ; prosecuting attorney; : oh res fits ae Dye? fe Sgt GR Re - Candidates for Student Body offices were presented to the general assembly during part of the special program time on June 10. The rest of the period was an excellent variety program arranged by Nadine Williams for me Students’ Association. olven over to mbers of the HONOR SOCIETY BI-WEEKLY MEETINGS OF THE HONOR SOCIETY were begun this term so that the members of this organization may become better acquainted. During the social meetings, Ruth Wenzel and Margaret Wolleson, former Honor Society students, and now members of the Deputation Committee from the University of California, talked on college life; Mrs. Nellie Pehrson gave two readings, “Casa- bianca,” and an impersonation of a Swedish lady at the post office; Forrest Thompson played a saxophone solo; and during the program planned by the platinum pin holders, Elva Green, violin; Catherine Bastin, piano; and Ruth Bastin, violin; played a musical selection. Alice Olson gave a reading and Dorothy Bergen played a piano solo. Three amendments were adopted to the Honor Society Constitution. 1. Commencement speakers are to receive two points toward the Honor Society. 2. All persons delivering prepared speeches of a specified length before the assembly shall receive one point for Honor Society. 3. Any student who, at any time, attains a platinum pin and after attaining said pin receives no grade lower than a B, shall graduate with honors. Fifty-three students were Honor Society members the first quarter and forty were members the last quarter. Four girls retained their platinum pins from last semester during the two quarters. They are Catherine Bastin, Matilda Dudziak, Elva Green and Mary Romero. New platinum pin holders of this quarter are Jean Williams, Eleanor Brensel and Dorothy Bergen. Officers at the first quarter were Geoffrey Yates, president; Jean Williams, vice- president; and Jane Jenkins, secretary. Second quarter officers are Jean Williams, president; Loyd Moore, vice-president; and Jane Jenkins, secretary. Two social events were held by the Honor Society this semester. A dinner and a dance, which preceded the trip to Rollerland was held on March 28, in the Union. The affair for the second quarter was a picnic at Orinda on June 7. Girts’ Leacue OFFICERS Tarr, Drummey, Hunn. Junior STATESMEN OFFICERS Garrard, Hopper, Vincent. GIRLS’ LEAGUE Tue Grrts’ LEAGuE, under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Kinnear, is an organiza- tion to which all girls of the High School belong. This league, formed several years ago, aims to serve the school and community. The leaders of the Girls’ League this term were: Beth Drummey, president; Betty Hunn, vice-president; and Annabelle Tarr, secretary. On February 27 at the first meeting three women prominent in High School organi- zations spoke on the enjoyment derived from their respective clubs. They were: Mrs. Jensen, guardian of Camp Fire Girls; Mrs. E. E. Greeley, leader of Girl Scouts; and Miss Emma Jean Fuller, faculty member and a Girl Reserve since her ninth year of high school. The second meeting was held June 5. The program was presented by the High Senior girls. Marjorie DeLaney, Eleanor Brensel, Peggy Horner, Willa LaPlante. June Hopper, Matilda Dudziak, Virginia Miller, and Eileen Shaw spoke on the value of their high school days. Musical numbers were presented by Theresa Ghisio, and a Russian dance, by Mary Jean Lowell. A piano solo was played by Catherine Bastin. ) JUNIOR STATESMEN OF AMERICA THE JUNIOR STATESMEN OF AMERICA is an organization which has been formed for the purpose of interesting youth in Democracy. Founded less than a year ago by a group of high school students, the movement has spread rapidly, and local groups are to be found in many California high schools. The motto of the organization is “Make Politics a Noble Profession”, and the plan is to establish a junior state government, similar to the adult government, which will act as a practical training ground for future statesmen. Thus youth will become actively interested in true American democratic ideals, and standards will eventually be raised. The local group has been one of the most active ones in the state during the past semester. Prof. E. A. Rogers, president of Montezuma Mountain School, and originator of the plan, spoke to the student body early in the semester. Twenty Rich- mond High students journeyed to San Francisco on February 28 to attend a public convention of the organization. Two members went to Los Angeles with a party of northern representatives for the purpose of crystallizing sentiment in Southern Cali- fornia in favor of the movement. One member is associate editor of The Junior States- man, monthly magazine of the organization, and is a member of the National Executive Board. At the first of the semester, officers elected to lead the R. U. H. S. group were: Don Garrard, president; J. D. Vincent, vice-president; June Hopper, secretary. Elected to serve as assemblyman from this district was Howard Adams. Frank Hoeffer was elected to the State Senate. To climax the semester’s activities the state general election was held, with many high schools participating. Richmond High was honored by the election of the president of the local group, Don Garrard, to the office of Governor. J. D. Vincent, vice-president of the local group, was elected Surveyor- General. During the semester Richmond High played host to delegates of the Eastbay in the district convention. Eighty R. U. H. S. students registered as voting members of the organization in less than a week’s time. JourNALISM CLAss—First row: Walsh, Anderson, Romero, Horner, Dugan, LaPlante, Olson, Madigan, Franco.

GIRL RESERVES THE 1935 SPRING SEMESTER of the Girl Reserve club has been the most active in recent years. President Peggy Horner was assisted by a very efficient cabinet, composed of Edna Wickersheim, vice-president; Ruth Moitoza, secretary; Pearl Anderson, treas- urer; Shirley Michel, service chairman; Marie Markus, social chairman; and Miriam Walsh, program chairman. An informal tea was held at the beginning of the term to acquaint any girls who might be interested with the club, what it attempts to do, and its manner of functioning. On March 21, twelve girls were recognized as members of this organization. Miss Gay Lawson, director of the Berkeley Y. W. C. A., was the honored guest and speaker on this occasion. Several of the club members, accompanied by Miss Clara McLaurin, club adviser, attended the Mid-Winter Leaders’ conference at Mills College. Another outstanding event was the traditional overnite hike to Stinson Beach with the Girls’ Athletic Asso- ciation, which was held May 25 and 206. During the semester many fine meetings were held, with worthwhile topics under discussion. Miss Emma Jean Fuller, assistant adviser, led the discussions on vocations, and on relations in the home; Stella Anellini led that on college entrance requirements. On June 13, the installation of the new officers was held, bringing the semester’s activities to a close. On this occasion, also, several girls were presented with Girl Reserve rings. Those installed as officers for the coming term were Edna Wickersheim, president; Marie Markus, vice-president; Dorothy Younglove, secretary. Girls receiv- ing rings were Shirley Michel, Marie Markus, Miriam Walsh, Pearl Anderson, Bertha Hagen, Lucille Martin, Stella Anellini, and Betty Williams.

Each period of the day a girl is in the library, assisting at the desk. The girls check attendance, collect slips, issue books and magazines, and help students in finding material. Officers who have served this semester are Marjorie Spaulding, president; Jane Johnson, vice-president; Mary Tom Shelton, secretary; and Mary McVittie, social chairman. Besides having monthly business meetings, the girls enjoy social activities during the course of the semester. The first social event this term was a picnic supper followed by swimming at Lake Orinda. As the concluding party of the semester. Mrs. Locati, of the school cafeteria, will entertain the girls at her home by serving an Italian dinner. The library girls who have served so efficiently this term are Mary Tom Shelton, Marjorie Spaulding, Mary McVittie, Jean Strickland, Hazel Castro, Jean Williams, Annabelle Tarr, and Jane Johnson. The lettering on all the books was done by Russell Leist, who worked in the library during the third period. STAGECRAFT BEHIND THE SCENES of every performance is a group of students who have spent their time making each performance a success. This stagecraft class constructs scenery, stage properties, and handles the lighting. The class, co mposed of Eleanor Lyons, Douglas Miller, John Shinnick, George Kelleghan, and Bud Lauritzen, is supervised by Mrs. Bernice James. The very first part of the term was spent learning the whys and wherefores of the stage. This semester, for the first time, the class adopted a uniform which consisted of a white mechanics jumper with the word STAGE and the owner’s name stenciled on the back . Most of the term was taken up in constructing animals, scenery, and stage prop- erties for the Circus. The class also busied itself with properties for Student Body programs and fixing the stage for the general assembly programs.

The year was a success from both the athletic and social standpoints. The club’s basketball team not only won the City League title, but walked off with the Northern California crown in a tourney held at Sacramento. The Spring Semi-formal Dance, held jointly with the Berkeley Club, was a fitting climax to end the social activities of the term. An attractive booth at the R. U. H. S.

Other functions included a box social, the annual Mother’s Night Banquet, several parties at the homes of members, and the “St. Mary’s College Night” bean feed. Officers who served during the spring semester are: Charles Hahn, president; Alden Pratt, vice-president; Melo Milicevich, secretary; Neil Tolin, treasurer; Jack Bolljahn, membership chairman; Jess Gidley, social chairman; Eugene Corr, athletic chairman. THE FORUM IN ORDER TO PREPARE STUDENTS for future public speaking and debate, the Forum was organized this term. Since the club was not thoroughly formed until the semester was well under way, only three debates and one general discussion on Student Association government were conducted. An outstanding fact about the club is that its membership is dominated by lower classmen. Of the 25 members, 17 are lower division students. Usually seniors are in the majority in such an organization. Officers for the new club were: John Hayes, president; Tom Orthman, vice-presi- dent; Eleanor Cook, secretary-treasurer.

PHYSIOLOGY CLUB Tue PuystoLocy Cus is an organization of girls who have had or are taking Physi- clogy. The aim of its members is to increase their knowledge of health and their value to the community by a continued study of personal and community health problems. Two meetings a month are held, one a business meeting and the other a field trip, lecture, or social meeting. After the business meetings this semester, the members worked on compiling and mounting a permanent file of supplementary material used in the physiology classes. In February, a tea was given welcoming the new members; in March, the Rich- mond Bacteriology Laboratory was visited; in April, Dr. Rosa Powell of Richmond spoke on personal hygiene and diet; in May, a visit to the quarantine station on Angel Island was made; and in June, an outing to the museum and park in San Fran- cisco was enjoyed. Miss Helen Parker and Miss Alysse Clark, both of the Physiology Department, are the faculty advisers. RICHMOND RADIO CLUB FOR THE PAST SEMESTER, the Richmond High Radio Club has enjoyed the most active year of its organization. The Radio Club was completely reorganized and had a new constitution drawn up at the opening of the spring semester. Present officers of the club are: Ed Thompson, president; Byron Phillips, vice- president; Art Stribley, secretary. Supplementary committee heads for the organiza- tion are Robert Corfield, program chairman; Norbert Salsman, construction: Jarrett Green, theory; and Byron Phillips, code. At present there are about fifteen members. The object of this club is to teach the fundamentals of the construction and use of radio sets. The course, which has been prepared by Mr. Herbert Welch, is designed for a person who has not had any experience in this work. The course is written in language that is not highly technical. Many valuable contributions to the school have been made by the club, among these being the loud speakers that were used in the Circus. The graduate members of the “Gh installed these speakers. Ed Thompson has constructed the radio sets that are used in the Applied Science classes. Porfirio Gonzales and Ernest Bruce have aided Thompson in this work.

VARSITY BASKETBALL WITH A VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD charac ‘terized by lack of scoring power, Coach Phil Hempler prepared his charges for their first practice game of the 1934-1935 hoop season. A successful start was made by the Red and Blue when they won their first two eames in easy fashion, defeating Tamalpais 29-16 and San Rafael 22-9. In their next four games the Oilers lost to John Swett, Emeryville, McClymonds, and Hayward. The Red and Blue won their next two games by the same score, 25-17, from Mt. Diablo and Tohn Swett. Alhambra and San Rafael were the next victims of the Richmond High varsity. After losing a close game to University, 25-24, the Oilers won a close one from Hayward, the score being 22.20. Alhambra defeated the Oilers, 26-13, in the closing game of the practice season. Alameda took the measure of the Red and Blue by a score of 27-16 in the opening game of the A. C. A. L. A tall, rangy Berkeley team won from Richmond, 28- 15. Pied- mont registered a 41-27 victory in the last game of the first round. In the last three A. C. A. L. games Alameda, Berkeley, and Piedmont again scored victories over the Red and Blue varsity. Piedmont’s Highlanders finished the season with an unblemished record, six vic- tories and no defeats. Four wins and two losses were credited to Berkeley, while Ala- meda recorded two wins and four losses. Richmond High, unable to win a league contest, finished fourth. . Captain Alden Pratt and Clovis Duncan were the regular Red and Blue forwards throughout the season. J. D. Vincent, Don Bignall, Ed Marcos, and Sam Cortese also saw much action at these posts. Bob Canning was regular center, being spelled off by Melo Milicevich and Jim Wilson. Don McNany, Fred Ball, and Ed McLaughlin bore the brunt of the guarding in all the games. Jack Bolljahn and Glen Whalen also par- ticipated in several games at the guard posts. B BASKETBALL SQUAD Top: Corr, Chris- topher, Moses, M. Lewis, Anderson, Coach Ribbel. Middle: Mythen, Covell, Bogliolo, Kelleghan, and Weeks. Lower: Bowles, Ferguson, Costa, Tetzschner. “B” BASKETBALL CONSIDERED THE BEST all-round basketball team ever to represent Richmond Union High, the “B” aggregation of 1934-35 was victorious in 18 of their 20 contests. Led by Captain Leonard Anderson, forward, and Eugene “Kissy” Corr, guard, the team rode rough-shod over many of their opponents. Anderson, a letterman from the previous year’s team, turned in great defensive games every time he took the floor. Corr. a made-over forward, was outstanding in breaking through the opposing defense. The largest part of the scoring was done by Russ Christopher and Mike Lewis, center and forward, respectively. Christopher turned in 44 field goals and 25 foul shots for a total of 113 points. Chuck Hahn, although he did not get started off right, ended the season with many sparkling exhibitions of basketball to his credit. He was excep- tionally good as a defensive man under the bucket. Teamed with Corr, he made the Oilers the best guard combination in the league. The Red and Blue entered their first game with only three days of practice. Un- daunted, they went onto the floor and beat the Tamalpais High team 31-21. After this ereat start, they went through the practice season and the first two A. C. A. L. games undefeated. When the Piedmont team came to Richmond, the Oilers’ tasted defeat for the first time. A fast breaking attack and a baffling man-to-man defense proved the stumbling block. Again, when Richmond met Piedmont on the Highlander court, they lost. These two defeats were not as bad as they sound. Richmond fought all of the way and it was only in the last few minutes of each game that they lost out. Members of the team who were responsible for the great showing of the squad were Captain Leonard Anderson, Mike Lewis, Raymond Bowles, Al Tetzschner, George Kelleghan, and George Covell, forwards; Russell Christopher, Pete Bogliolo, and Richard Ferguson, centers; Eugene Corr, Charles Hahn, Chester Smith, Shirley Weeks, Arthur Mythen and Bill Moses. guards. Ten of these men return next year, so that the outlook for another great team is sood. “RB” A C. A. L. BASKETBALL RESULTS A. GC. A. L.

L. in second place, this season’s baseball team was the most successful in several years. Coach Phil Hempler, with the able assistance of F. L. “Cubby” Culbertson, managed to turn out an excellent club that won seven of their eleven practice games, and defeated every school in the A. C. A. L. Several veterans returned from the team of the previous year, and it was with the aid of these veterans that the team went so far. They were: Captain Eugene Corr, Bob ; Moore, Leo Costa, Ike Rocha, Fred Ball, Mike Lewis, Jack Bolljahn, L eonard Smith, and Earl Edwards. In the practice season, victories were turned in over University, Mt. Diablo, Tam- alpais, two over Crockett, and two over Vallejo. The veterans, bolstered by some fine new men, including Silio Cecchi. Bill Moses, Lloyd Christopher, Mike DeFabio, John Putkey, Ed Monez, John Casazza. John Quadros, Frank Blomberg, and Earl Fraga, entered their league schedule heavy favorites to carry away cellar honors. However, they surprised everyone and finished second only to Berkeley. Leonard Smith pitched two of the victories, while Earl Edwards was credited with the other. Lloyd Christopher copped hitting honors with a .391 average. Cecchi fin- ished with .346, while Moore shellacked the ball at a .317 clip. Edwards turned in four victories during the season, losing two. Smith won three and lost three, and Fraga won three and lost two. Only five men who played on the team this year will not return for next season. They are Captain Eugene Corr, Bob Moore, Fred Ball, Bill Moses. and Earl Fraga. With several two-year veterans to work with next year, the outlook for another excel- lent baseball season is a bright one. ‘ A.C. A. L. RESULTS A. C. A. L.

TRACK CLIMAXED BY THE BEST SHOWING a Richmond team has ever made in the A. C. A. L. track and field meet, the 1935 track season was one of the most successful in the history of Richmond High. Led by Elton Brombacher, who set a new A. C. A. L. record in the quarter-mile of 90.8 seconds, the Oiler cinder men scored 20 points in their Big Meet held at Edwards Field on the U. C. campus. Alameda won the meet, Berkeley came second and Piedmont was third. Richmond was fourth, just one point behind the Highlanders, and Hayward brought up the rear. Art Mythen and Bob Canning were the other Red and Blue men to win their events. Art ran 2:4.2 in the half mile to set up a new Richmond High mark. J. D. Vincent and Phil Goettel, with a third in the high hurdles and a fourth in the 100-yard dash respec- tively, were the only other Richmondites to place. The 880 relay team, composed of Goettel, Mythen, Covell, and Brombacher, finished fourth to complete the Oiler scoring. The opening meet of the season found the Oilers, with practically no practice, downing San Rafael in the closest meet of the year. The 880 relay was the feature of this meet. Elton Brombacher, running anchor lap for the Red and Blue team, finished in a dead heat with the Bulldog man to split the points and give Richmond the meet. Score: 52 5 6 to 51 1 6. Three days later the Oiler runners met the Mt. Diablo Red Devils and the Pittsburg Pirates in a three-way meet on the Concord oval. Again the Ribbel-coached men came out on top. The final count read: Richmond 54, Concord 36, and Pittsburg 34. This was the first time Richmond has ever beaten Diablo in a track meet. Jim Brien set a new Richmond record in the low hurdles, covering the distance in 27.1 seconds. After a layoff of almost two weeks the squad travelled to Martinez to clash with the Alhambra and John Swett teams. For the second time the relay decided the meet. Score: Richmond 59 5 6, Alhambra 57 5 6, and John Swett 9 1 3. Following another week’s layoff the Richmond team clashed with Piedmont on the Highlander cinderpath, and were handed their first defeat of the season. Score: Piedmont 71 1 3, Richmond 23 2 3.

GIRLS’ ATHLETICS ANOTHER TERM HAS PASSED and with it another successful term in the development of girls’ athletics. The G. A. A. of Richmond High School, directed by Miss Clara Mc- Laurin and Miss Alice Bagley, tries to show girls what sports can mean in their lives. Friendships and good times are only two of the features derived from girls’ sports. Tts main feature is that it teaches cooperation. When playing volleyball, it is termed “teamwork.” In basketball, it’s “think triangles,” and in hockey it’s “play your posi- tion.” Individual sports have been emphasized this term because individual sports can be carried over through life where sports such as hockey and baseball cannot. The two sports which are used most frequently after high school days are tennis and swimming. Swimming instructions have been given throughout the semester by Miss Bagley. The Red Cross has also given a two-weeks’ “Learn to Swim” campaign at the Richmond Natatorium. On Friday mornings, Miss McLaurin gives individual coach- ing in tennis on the courts across from the Richmond City Hall. In order to obtain the gold pin, G. A. A.’s highest award, one must know the funda- mentals of both of these sports. Other individual sports have been: Archery, horse shoes, deck tennis, paddle handball, and ping pong. Recently a badminton set has been purchased, but this game is limited to A students in physical education. The mid-term banquet was held in picnic style this term. A picnic dinner was served, awards were given and, as a special surprise, Miss McLaurin presented Olga Milicevich, Ruth Barrett, Amelia Rosales, and Loretta Andrade with small 35’s which stood for “all-around sports girls.” These higher awards, the gold pin, the winged R, and the Circle R, were given to the following girls on March 22 of this semester. G. A. A. AWARDS Gold Pins (600 points)—Loretta Andrade, Ruth Barrett, Peggy Horner, Marie Markus, Pearl Anderson, Mary Baldwin, Frances Christ, June Hopper, Amelia Rosales. Winged R (500 points) — Eleanor Brensel, Zola Hardisty, Opal Gillham, Edeline Winters, Jean Williams, Nickie Rogocci, Winifred Renfree, June Hopper.

TENNIS THE TENNIS TEAM went up against some strong opposition during the season, and as a result lost a majority of their matches. In the league Piedmont was so superior that it won six of the possible seven matches. Berkeley, taking the one match. third singles, placed second. Richmond, Alameda, and Hayward tied for third. The only men whom Richmond placed in the finals were Gengler and Moore, who were defeated by Harmon and Harmonoto of Piedmont. Richmond’s singles players were Kenneth Gengler, Herbert Hunn, Loyd Moore, Neil Yepson, and Heyno Paulson, playing in the order named. Gengler and Moore, and Hunn and Yepson teamed up to play the doubles. HI-NUS THE DUTIES OF PUBLISHING THE Hi-Nus and The Shield fell, this semester, on the shoulders of the 10 boys and 13 girls who made up the two journalism classes. Under the leadership of Miss Norine Buchanan, the adviser, and Bob Martin, editor, the staff published 19 issues of the Hi-Nus, including a special circus edition; and the June 735 edition of the Richmond Union High School semi-annual, The Shield. Making up the Hi-Nus staff were the following: Associate editor, Phil Goettel; business manager, Pearl Anderson; advertising manager, Butler Lauritzen; make-up editors, Willa LaPlante and Violet Schwartz; humor editors, Dorothea Davis and Miriam Walsh; boys’ sports editors, Bud McLaughlin and Wallace Willis; girls’ sports editors, June Hopper and Muriel Dugan; exchange editor, Glenn Adams; feature editor, Mary Romero; circulation manager, Peggy Horner; headline writer, Alan Clarke; alumni editor, Cecil Smith; school notes editor, Delphina Franco; and report- ers, Mary Madigan, Alice Olson, Bob Moore, Ralph Call, and Margaret Foley. The publishing of the paper was done under the direction of Instructor John Doney by the printing classes.

That thrill of successful accomplishment came to us with the presentation of our school Circus on May 10. On the surface it would seem that everyone had a good time, but beneath are stronger forces with greater meaning. The spirit of unselfish and willing cooperation was commendable. The training in organization and presentation of a large project and the good influence of that work upon our characters are invaluable. Both performers and spectators played their parts well. Besides giving us these benefits the Circus accomplished its purpose financially. The proceeds amounted to approximately a thousand dollars. The committees who arranged the Circus were largely responsible for its success.
