Throughout the ages man has regarded trees as a significant sign of beauty, shelter, and protection. In the course of time, however, trees that once were landmarks have been removed because they stood in the path of human progress. Such a fate as this befell the row of stately Lombardy poplars which for years towered above the surrounding countryside. Their scattered leaves lay withering upon the ground, the last leaves to fall from the graceful branches of the trees that stood so straight and tall in the sun and rain. The majestic pop- lars are gone. To preserve their memory, we have chosen them as the theme for our book of memories, the Shield of January 1936. The poplars were planted in 1893 by Harry Emeric of San Pablo, on the property adjacent to Richmond Union High School. Mr. Emeric had the trees placed along the road to make the drive more beautiful and sheltered in the | years to come. The trees bordered what was then a main thoroughfare, and led | to the Emeric home, which has since become the Salesian House of Studies. | In addition to the regular equipage of the time, there passed beneath their stately branches the eagerly awaited mail coach. With the passing of time, traffic has been converted into other channels, the trees have been removed and their very existence has been forgotten. As leaves of the staunch trees die and are carried away by the hurrying wind, so will memories of school days pass from our minds if they are not made permanent. Therefore, in the leaves of this book, we have endeavored to preserve forever the landmarks of a happy semester. In Memoriam... WILLIAM COLLINS He left in his path the leaves of endeavor, The leaves of achievement with strife. His fine aim we shall always remember ; His memory we carry through life. | TABLE OF Lan A MessacE To ALL SENIORS MEMORIES Landmarks of the Past Senior History ‘ Commencement Exercises Senior Portraits Landmarks New Leaves The Faculty Or ACTIVITIES Or Sports Or LicHTeR LEAVES Te a GIN) Rs The years you spend in High School, with their “Seed Time and Harvest, and Summer and Winter”, pass all too soon away.

From various points of view the present Student Body has had one of the most brilliant terms in the history of Richmond High. In addition to the various semi-annual affairs which have become traditions of the school, such as the junior-senior tea, the senior banquet, the senior party, and senior day, added spice was given to the social aspect of the season by the highly successful football dance sponsored by the P.-T. A. The crowning event of the semester was the winning of the coveted A. C. A. L. title. Under the guidance of Elton Brombacher and Fred Ball, co-captains, the results of the football season were seven wins, a scoreless tie, and no losses. Other graduating senior fellows who have been influential in this year’s football successes are: Charles Ostrander, Chester Muller and Bob Lowrie. Loyal support of Elton Brombacher’s administration was amply shown by the record-breaking sale of 865 Student Body cards this semester. A total of 580 Shields was sold largely through the efforts of the graduating class. Many new leaves have been added to the history of the school this term. Under the influence of this year’s staff of commissioners important additions were made to the campus, including the Bell-Howard Camera and the score-board. Pictures of all the football games were taken with the new camera and were shown to the students and to the members of various service clubs. The pictures created a keen interest among the Richmond citizens. The camera is to be used as a teaching device for classes as well as for football. The score-board was the answer to a long felt need. Its presence on the field added much to the enjoyment of the games. Another innovation this term that aided in popularizing football in Richmond was the plan of distributing printed line-ups at all home games. This idea was a new one to the Eastbay, and it found favor with the local as well as rival fans. The pro- grams were printed in our own print shop. New faces appeared at the beginning of the term among the faculty: Arleigh Williams, who assists in the P. E. department; Miss Jean Turner, who teaches English; and Miss Marie Alonzo, who teaches Spanish and English. Miss Jean McDuff took the place in the history department of Miss Hazel Olson, who was ill during the first part of the semester. Miss McDuff is now teaching at Roosevelt Junior High. The efforts of the graduating classes since December ’33 were rewarded this term when the granite rock which bears the nameplate of Richmond Union High School was placed in front of the Administration building. The last senior class having made known its desire for a suitable rock were told of a granite rock to be found at Point Richmond. Through the cooperation of the Standard Oil Company and the Santa Fe, the rock was hauled from the point beyond the Standard Oil Rod and Gun Club to a place where it could be reached by a truck. The truck then brought it to the site where it now rests. John Roeder, our gardener, has planted shrubs around the base of the huge stone to add t o the beauty of the nameplate. This has been a semester of many new leaves. SENIOR HISTORY Ably led by President Eugene Corr and his cabinet, this term’s senior group has achieved success in all of its activities. Weekly meetings have marked the complete organization of the seniors. The first of these meetings was held on September 17, 1935, when primary discussion entered on class pins, dues, gift and social activities. Jean Williams headed the pin committee, and James Brackett was chairman of the gift committee. Three main social events were checked off the senior calendar beginning with Senior Day on November 7. Hilarity and funny cos- tumes reigned on that day. Anita Bravin and Charles Ostrander were winners of the costume prizes. A committee of seven seniors, headed by Arthur Mythen, planned the events. Later, on November 22, a party was given with a program and refreshments. Hazel Gough and Tommy Costello won the prize waltz, after which more dancing wound up the evening’s activities. Commit- tee chairmen were as follows: Entertainment, Pearl Anderson; Dance Programs, Douglas Miller; Refreshments, Anita Bravin; Clean-Up, Claire Lang. The semi-annual Senior Banquet, which has become a tradition, occurred on Thursday evening, January 9, 1936. Chairmen for this event were: Decoration, Ruth Curry; Favors, Teresa Bernardi; Prophecy, Nadine Williams; Food, Dorothy Bergen; Entertainment, Bob Martin; Will, Miriam Walsh. Throughout the term Marian O’Brien acted as general social chairman. While the January class is not large, it has certainly proved that it is quality, not quantity, that counts. Throughout the past three years, this group of students has worked as one and now they have reached their goal. Many do not realize the true significance of a high school diploma. Each diploma represents the successful completion of a high school career and a passport to future fields of endeavor. Whether th e mem- bers of the class enter into the world of business or continue their education at some college, we believe that they will uphold the fine traditions which have always been a part of Richmond High.

Brombacher’s staff of commissioners, of whom six are graduating seniors, has been: Ed Johansen, vice-president; Nadine Williams, secretary-treasurer; Vernon Archibald, prosecuting attorney; Leonard Anderson, com- missioner of boys’ athletics; Jean Williams, commissioner of girls’ athletics; Frank Hoeffer, student judge; Violet Schwartz, social chairman; Loyd Moore, commissioner of law and order; and Grace Fregulia, auditor. Writing letters and keeping the minutes of Student Body meetings and commission- ers’ meetings were the duties of Nadine Williams. Her work was a credit to the office. The duties of vice-president are few, but they are a necessary part of the student government. Ed Johansen served as vice-president. As there was only one commissioner’s slip issued this term, Vernon Archibald and Loyd Moore were able to devote their time to other work. The commissioner of boys’ athletics must be willing to give up much time to his office. Leonard Anderson had a busy as well as successful term in his office. Promoting girls’ athletics was the work done by Jean Williams. The student judge must preside at all student trials. This duty was performed by Frank Hoeffer. The excellent program given to Student Body members this fall was directed by the social chairman, Violet Schwartz. The task of holding the purse strings and keeping straight all accounts of various organizations in the school is no small undertaking. However, Grace Fregulia made a conscientious and competent auditor. In addition to their individual responsibilities, the commissioners work as a unit in guiding the policies and activities of the Student Association. That their work was well done was evident throughout the term. The commissioners were assisted by Miss Hannah Drewry, adviser. —— — Top Section—Top Row: Castro, Adams, Marchisio, Ausez, Anellini, Nelson, Clark, Hershey.

HONOR SOCIETY By continuing the bi-weekly meetings begun last semester, the Honor Society has become better acquainted. The organization has voted to establish a custom of having the new Honor Society members of each quarter present a program. With Alex Trolese, program chairman, the new members of the first quarter gave a one-act play entitled “A Sisterly Scheme”, directed by Catherine Malloy. Pearl Anderson was appointed chairman for the new members’ program presented January 106. Anthony Ormaso was president during the semester; William Parker, vice-president, first quarter; and Anita Bravin, vice-president, second quarter; and Delphina Franco, secretary-treasurer, for the semester. Two high senior girls, Fumiko Sugihara and Delphina Franco, each received a platinum pin, the highest honor award, during the first quarter; four low senior girls, Stella Anellini, Grace Fregulia, Jane Jenkins and Bertha Pedrotti, received the plat- inum pin during the second quarter. Twenty new members received Honor Society membership certificates the first quarter, and fourteen new members received awards the second quarter. Fifty-five students were Honor Society members the first quarter and the names of seventeen sophomores were on the Honor Roll. Fifty-four students attained Honor Society mem- bership the second quarter and thirty-six sophomores were listed on the Honor Roll. Girts’ LEAGUE Left to right: Bergen, Archibald, Armstrong.

GIRLS’ LEAGUE At the first meeting of the Girls’ League on September 25, Dorothy Bergen intro- duced the Girls’ Choral Class, which sang three numbers. Miss Reeb then spoke on her trip to Mexico, recalling many experiences and showing various articles of Mexi- can handiwork. The meeting was adjourned by Dorothy Bergen. The Girls’ League held their second meeting on November 4. The minutes were read by Betty Archibald. Mr. George Calfee, accompanied by Dorothy Bergen, sang four selections and another guest artist, Mrs. Emma Meyer Gibbons, played three piano numbers. Officers of the League this term were Dorothy Bergen, president; Margaret Arm- strong, vice-president; Betty Archibald, secretary. Miss Elizabeth Kinnear is the adviser. THE FORUM Members of the Forum have improved noticeably in public speaking as a result of the practice they have had this term. This club is maintained to help students ex- press themselves before a group. Many people who have run for Student Body positions have found their training a great aid when making their introductory speeches. The Forum has had a successful term under the leadership of Loyd Moore, presi- dent; William Parker, vice-president; and Eugenia Floyd, secretary. Faculty advisers were Mrs. Parrill, Miss Nunn, and Miss Alexander. Girt RESERVE CABINET Standing: Wickersheim, Younglove, Markus, McBurney. Seated: Annellini, Doney, Beck. WINGE D SHIELD OFFICERS Covell, Ball, Wilson, Hahn. GIRL RESERVES The membership of the Girl Reserves during the 1935 Fall Semester has shown a very definite increase over the last three years. Regular meetings were held every two weeks and committee meetings were held on each alternate Thursday. Following the Mystery Flight party given at the beginning of the term as a means of acquainting girls with the club were the Recognition Services. More than twenty- five girls, the majority being sophomores, were recognized as members on November 7, at the traditional candle lighting service. Social activities of the club included a hike and a weiner roast in Alvarado park, a peanut feed, a kitchen party, an informal tea, and a Christmas party at which the members exchanged gifts. The fact that this organization exists for service was demonstrated when the mem- bers twice gave their help in the Community Chest drive. Last summer five girls went to Gold Hollow, the Girl Reserve summer camp,.and three girls attended the annual Girl Reserve Conference at Asilomar. Besides bringing back new ideas and plans which were introduced into the club, these girls brought back with them memories never to be forgotten. All in all, this term has been most active and successful. The cabinet consists of Edna Wickersheim, president; Marie Markus, vice-president; Dorothy Younglove, secretary; Stella Anellini, treasurer; Elsine Beck, program chairman; Jeanne McBurney, service chairman and Marie Doney, social chairman.

LIBRARY GIRLS Performing a great service to the school and to the library are the Library girls, under the direction of Miss Zelma Reeve, librarian. The girls hold a meeting once a month. Among the social events this semester was a party at Rollerland, and a banquet in honor of the graduating senior of the club, Marjorie Spaulding. The girls were also invited to a Christmas Concert given by the Berkeley Women’s City Club, December 8. Mary McVittie was elected president of the library girls this semester. Assisting her were Hazel Castro, vice-president; Jane Johnson, secretary; and Mary Tom Shelton, social] chairman. The other girls assisting in the Library during the term were: Dorothy Carruthers, Lorene Prather, Marjorie Spaulding, and Zella Jane Mark. The lettering of the books was done by Russel Leist. KNIGHTS OF DUNAMIS Knights of Dunamis is an honor society composed of all Eagle Scouts in Richmond High. It was organized ten years ago, with service to others as its main objective. This movement binds together into a strong organization, those young men who have attained the rank of Eagle. In such a body, these young men can be of service to the public and to the Scout movement of which they are a part. Charles Ostrander, Frank Hoeffer, Joe Ruzich, Don Himes and Don Garrard are members of the officers’ staff. Hi-Y OFricers Standing: Hahn, Muller, Vincent and Bolljahn.

Led by Neil Tolin and his executive committees under the supervision of the “Y” secretary, Mr. Fred Breen, the Richmond Hi-Y Club has had an enjoyable semester. The club, composed of High School boys, meets every Monday evening. During the meetings there has been various entertainment that has made these meetings interesting. Another event that has added to the success of the semester was the annual Barn Dance given at the Berkeley Scout Camp on November 9. The boys who served as officers this semester are: Neil Tolin, president; Charles Hahn, vice-president; Jack Bolljahn, secretary; Gene Corr, treasurer; J. D. Vincent, social chairman; Fred Ball, membership chairman; and Chester Muller, athletic chairman. RADIO CLUB Although handicapped by its late reorganization, the R. U. H. S. Radio club has just completed one of its most active and enthusiastic semesters. The success of this semester’s Radio club may be attributed to the inauguration of the “neighborhood clubs”, the efficiency of its managers and the Radio council.

THE RICHMOND HIGH BAND The Band was seen most throughout the term at our home football games. Uni- formed in white duck pants, red and blue capes and hats, the Band paraded and played for every home football game. The highlight of the Band’s season was its attendance at the Alameda game. Rain prevented the Band’s marching, but it didn’t affect its playing in the least. The organization played also at several of our auditorium programs, including the last Honor Society program and the last athletic awards meeting. It also played in several city parades, and furnished the music for the Richmond auto show of 1936. Jt wound up this very successful season by attending several of our practice basketball games. be : 2np Pertop JOURNALISM Top Row: McMullen, Johansen, Winston, B. Anderson, Archi- bald.

In order to enroll, a student must have had a “B” in his previous English course. Among the activities of the class is the publication of the weekly paper, the Rich- mond Hi-Nus. This paper is edited by the Journalism class and printed in the school print shop. The semi-annual, the Shield, is also edited by the journalism class. The staff selected for this semester was as follows: Editor, Esther Lynn Jones; Associate Editors, Anita Gebhardt, Ralph Call; Business Manager, Pearl Anderson; Advertising Manager, Bill Anderson; Make-Up Editors, Elton Brombacher, Vernon Archibald; Boys’ Sports Editors, Lucius Heyman, Ed Lasater; Girls’ Sports Editor, Beverly Rasmussen; Exchange Editor, Leroy Borgstrom; Feature Editors, I[leene White, Violet Schwartz; Circulation Managers, Florence Parish, Dorothy Smith; Head- line Writers, Chris Salido, Harold Miller; Alumni Editor, Douglas Miller.

L. stands for “The Lady of the Lamp’. The members ‘ chose Florence Nightingale, who was called “The Lady of the Lamp”, as their guide in the furthering of their knowledge of personal health. The club’s motto is: “Health is Wealth”. Two meetings a month are held, one a business meeting and the other a social meeting or lecture. One of the main tasks accomplished by the organization this term was the drawing up of a constitution. Present officers are: Grace Fregulia, president; Michico Mabuchi, secretary; Blanche Noyes, treasurer; and Rita Marinell, social-chairman. The faculty advisers are Miss Helen Parker and Miss Alysse Clark, both of the Physiology Department. RADIO CLUB— ( Continued from Page 30) The Radio council was composed of a representative from each of the active “neigh- borhood clubs”. Each representative gives a weekly report on his club’s activities, and takes back information, agreements, or ideas discussed by the Radio council. Present officers of the club are: Marvin Maynard, president; Chris Salido, secretary- ce ‘ treasurer. The club’s activities, constructions, and theories were based upon a special course designed by Mr. Herbert Welch. At the present time there are eighteen active . members. . . : 7 ORCHESTRA The orchestra made its first public appearance this year at the first Honor Society awards program on September fourth. This was but one of the many assemblies for which it has played. The orchestra’s work is not entirely confined to the school. It has played for one out of school program, the Richmond Teachers’ Association meeting. The last program at which the orchestra will appear this term will be the 1936 graduation exercises. FOOTBALL “The 1935 varsity has set a standard that will be hard to uphold in the future by Richmond high school football teams,” said Coach Frank Ribbel as he awarded letters to the A. C. A. L. champions. The truth of this statement is evident. Richmond emerged victorious in every encounter this year except the 0-0 mud battle with Alameda. The varsity scored 115 points in eight games, while their opponents were able to score but two touchdowns totaling 13 points. The mighty teams of Piedmont and Berkeley were held scoreless by the Oiler varsity. Richmond’s first game with Concord gave no indication that the school had a destiny team. The Monday morning quarterbacks wagged their heads and mumbled, “Pretty lucky”. Incidentally, the Oilers won this game by a score of 14-6. Glen Whalen, who throughout the season was a constant thorn in the side of the opposition’s pass offense, intercepted a pass and ran 45 yards to put the game on ice for the Oilers. An omen of the laurels that were to come was the large crowd that turned out to wit- ness the first game. The Friday following, Richmond trekked to San Rafael and won 15-7. The score seems to indicate a good margin between the teams, but it was only in the last minute that Richmond came from behind to score 9 points and snatch victory from the stub- born San Rafael eleven. The Blue and Red celebrated its first home game by completely outplaying and crushing Tamalpais by the lopsided score of 32-0. The team played the game before the season’s largest crowd to date and amazed the fans with its power and deception. Richmond received its first acid test when it met Alhambra. Going into the game as the underdogs, the Oiler eleven scored a touchdown and a safety in the first half and settled down to a defense in the second that held Alhambra scoreless. The final count showed Richmond in front by an 8-0 score. Richmond’s best offensive play, a reverse to Brombacher over the right side of the line, was used many times with great success throughout the day and was mainly instrumental in the Martinez downfall. With grim remembrances of their 19-6 humiliation at the hands of Hayward the previous year, Richmond took the field in its first A. C. A. L. game and decisively administered a 25-0 beating to the Farmers. Coach Ribbel’s use of second and third string players is all that kept the score from being higher. With a record of five victories to their credit and a 25-0 win over Hayward behind them. small articles and short paragraphs began to trickle into the Oakland papers about Richmond’s team. This trickle became a raging torrent as the Red and Blue rose to its peak and played the greatest game of the season against the Piedmont High- landers. A record crowd of 2500 fans gazed in awe as Richmond stopped the Clan offense and marched down the field not once but twice to score two touchdowns and win 14-0. The additional bleachers that had been erected in anticipation of the crowd were wholly inadequate and many people could find only standing room. The week following their history making victory over Piedmont, Richmond could do no better than a 0-0 tie with the Alameda Hornets. Weather conditions and a very sloppy field hampered the Oiler machine. At the end of the first quarter the yard markers had been completely obliterated and the players were covered with mud from head to foot. The highlight of the game was Fred Ball’s run of 46 yards that ended so dishearteningly for the Richmond fans. Ball, in the clear and attempting to swerve, slipped on the muddy field and fell to his knee. Richmond’s goose egg tie with Alameda and Berkeley’s 14-0 win over Piedmont ousted Richmond from the league leader- ship and placed Berkeley in that position. Although the local enthusiasm was curbed slightly by this set-back, it in no way affected the Richmond support at the final game of the season. The mayor and half the town appeared at the Berkeley stadium and had the extreme satisfaction of seeing ae 7 7 ‘AYISIBA IBTIQ 8, puouyoy ‘RYDOY IY] ‘YOtsoy yuRIY ‘YOrasorpify Opeyy “snonuog fO ssovONnsS 8] UT SIO]JORT jueqy1od ut 319M pua ‘IapueIISC) So[teyr) pue :19]U90 pue PY ‘ugsueyoe Po “Ie G LE ‘Apue J, yore ((yst1 0} 179 7) —4NIr'J paens “ToT [OJAy Teqsey ) + yoRed-f[ ey “TPG pety “UdyP] SPM aanqord STY] Io}fB UOSBVS JY} UL “tayoequrolg Uo “JUdOUT A Ajara SULTS JST} OY] 0} Poppe 919M [[BQ}OOF UL Aqrypiqe I1aY} poaoid oyM siaAed 9o1Y [, {alex k “UsTPY AA U9]4) “UOS|T AY Somme lf ((yst4 0} 1f9'[) —@1aId MOV gG SNOIdNVH)D GON9OVAT OLLYTHLIV AINNOO VQHAVTV Berkeley bow to Richmond 7-0. The first half found Richmond playing in Berkeley territory as a result of the superb kicking of Fred Ball. Early in the third quarter Glen Whalen streaked in front of a Yellow- jacket pass receiver and tore full speed for the Berkeley goal with 6 points, a victory over Berkeley, and an A. C. A. L. championship tucked under his arm. For the rest of the game Berkeley vainly attempted to score on long passes. Four Richmond players were signally honored when they were invited to play in the Oakland-San Francisco All-Star Prep Classic. These boys were Captain Fred Ball, half back; Charles Ostrander, end; Melo Milice- vich, center; and Jim Wilson, tackle. Brombacher, Whalen, Muller and Kosich were also among the honor- ed list of players who received places or honorable mention on the all A. C. A. L. team. The predominating feature of Richmond’s 1935 var- sity was its lack of individual stars. It is true that Milicevich and Ball were chosen on the All-County eleven, but these boys were not so far outstanding as to forget their duty to the squad as a whole. The unsung heroes of the Richmond team were Blair and Johansen, the two tackles who return next year. They played in every game and played virtually the entire 60 minutes. Jack Tandy, who also comes back for next year’s varsity, played consistent, alert football throughout the season and next year will be one of the mainstays of the squad. “Ike” Rocha proved to be Richmond’s “hard luck” player. An early injury pre- vented him from playing most of the season. Coach Ribbel mourns the loss of seven first stringers this year, but the second team shows many players of promise.

The first game of the season was a scoreless tie, with the Alhambra B’s as opponents. Richmond’s Jayvees threatened to score several times but were stopped short of the goal line each time. It was a well played game for so early in the season. In the next game the locals ran roughshod over the Crockett B’s to win 19-0. Probably a larger score could have been run up by the Oiler Juniors, but Coach Williams gave the reserves a chance to prove their worth. Weeks and Christiansen showed up very well on the offensive in this game. For the third opponent, the Junior Varsity ran into the strong Berkeley B’s, who have not been defeated in more than a hundred straight games. Our boys fought gallantly in this game, finally succumbing 20-6. Richmond scored on a pass from Yepson to Lewis. A strong University High B team was Richmond’s fourth adversary. The locals played fine ball and won 13-0. The play of Covell and Hahn featured this game. The lightweights’ line was impenetrable. In the next encounter, the Alameda Reserves were beaten 6-0. Richmond J. V’s. were outweighed 10 pounds to the man, but flashing a neat running attack, Richmond won out in the last three minutes of play. Cecchi played outstanding ball for the locals. The Berkeley Goofs defeated the Junior Varsity 7-0. Richmond played a hard-fought game but the cards were against them and a kick was blocked by the Yellowjackets, which ultimately led them to a score. The work of the ends and guards was especially pleas- ing to Coach Williams. In the last game of the season, Richmond went down to an 18-0 defeat administered by the Piedmont Re- serves. Piedmont, seeking revenge for its varsity’s de- feat at the hands of the Oiler varsity, used mostly second string varsity players during the game. The bright spot for Richmond was a 26-yard run by Cecchi. Many future prospects were developed on the Junior Varsity and lots of credit should be given the light- weight squad for its good showing this season.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Richmond High’s 1936 basketball squad started their current season this semester with a series of practice games for the purpose of acquiring a confidence that is much needed when the A. C. A. L. starts next term. In an interview, Coach Arleigh Williams stated, “I have not been here a sufficient length of time to be able to say definitely just what I think the team’s showing will be when we enter into league competition next term. I have not had the ch ance to see the other teams we will meet in action, and therefore I do not know the style of play they will use against us, but I think that we will be able to hold our own against any of the teams we will come up against.” The team this year has been cut to twenty players and is made up almost entirely of men who have one or two more years of basketball competition. Lack of experience is the most prevalent weakness in the squad. Nine men on the squad are playing their last season of basketball and all have had previous basketball experience which will serve to bol ster the inexperienced players in the first few games of the season. The lack of the development of any apparent scoring combination is also a thing that Coach Williams thinks will hold them back, although a combination may yet evolve itself from the squad. The following men are members of the squad: forwards, Covell, Bogliolo, DeFabio, ezzuti, Vincent, Corey, Ruzich, and Lewis; guards, Crane, Milicevich, Hahn, Whalen, Cortese, Salmon, Speer, Tobacco; and centers, Wilson, E. Moore, Lawrence, and QO’ Donohue. B BASKETBALL “This year’s team is of an unknown quality as yet”, declared Coach Frank Ribbel. “They lack experience and if the right combination of players is found. we may uphold the standard of past B teams”, he continued. To date the “B” record is not so impressive. The lightweights were defeated by Tamalpais 9-22. San Rafael came out on top of a 14-16 score. In the third game how- ever, the shooting of the entire team showed marked improvement and Emeryville howed to Ribbel’s charges by a 33-10 score. Coach Ribbel is still seeking a combination that will click together successfully. Thus far Bowles and Tetzschner at forwards, Bates at center, Smith, Lowe or Gidley at guards make up the best combination. Others who have seen action and may hit their stride soon are Garibaldi, Weeks, Hunn, Myers, Dias, and Cecchi. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Intramural basketball was organized this year to give young basketball prospects a chance to keep in trim for the approaching basketball season. In addition Intramural basketball gives the coaches a chance to view their prospects and to get a line on what sort of material they will have. The league was divided into, 4 divisions from A, the largest players, to D, the smallest group. In the A division the Gophers won the title winning 7 and losing none. Members of the team were Pete Bogliolo, Raymond Bowles, Mike Lewis, Alfred Dias, Earl Moore. In the B division the Eagles won 4 and lost none to cop the B title. The Eagle players were Charles Cox, Joe Contreras, Edwin Mason, Martin McAndrews, Oscar Franson, John Musso, John Wilkins, Manley Inlay, and Howard French. In the C division the Reos composed of athletic managers won six and lost none to nose out the Austins for the championship. The Reos were: Carlile, Harcourt, Williams, Blase, Shackelford, Manyik, Marshall, Crist, Chitwood, and Ziemer. In the D division, the smallest of the bunch, the Crabs claimed the title having won four and lost none. The Crabs were: A. Silva, McAndrews, Bill Maier, R. Garcia. CHAMPIONSHIP Hockey TEAM Top Row: Christ, O’Brien, Renfree, Winters, Drouin, Hardisty. Middle Row: Walsh, An- derson, Baldwin, Markus. Front Row: Young, Hunt, J. Williams, Gillham. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION September 10, 1935—One hundred and eleven excited sophomores, juniors, and seniors set out to make this hockey season the most outstanding in school history. Jeanette Hunt was elected manager of the high seniors; Florence Korb, manager of the low seniors. Margaret Shubat and Esther Lynn Jones were chosen to manage the high and low juniors respectively. Carolyn Knight and Helen Godman are the high and low sophomore managers. October 5, 1935—The Triangle Playday took place at Crockett and girls from Martinez, Richmond, and Crockett participated. Various sports included hockey, tennis, basket-ball, volley-ball and baseball. October 19, 1935—Miriam Walsh and Jean Williams, accompanied by Miss Clara McLaurin, represented Richmond Union High School at the High School Playday at the San Francisco State Teachers College. October 26, 1935—East Bay Federation Playday at Piedmont, and right after the big game, too. Marie Markus, Zola Hardisty, Stella Anellini, Edna Wickersheim, Helen Godman, Florence Korb, Carolyn Knight and Jean Williams were participants from R. U. H. S. Accompanying the group was Miss Alice Bagley. November 12, 1935—Volley-ball season began tonight with 97 girls turning out. Managers were elected. Edelene Winters and Bertha Pedrotti were chosen Senior man- agers. Junior managers are Elizabeth Pfeil and Gladys Christ. Jeanne Johansen and Eleanor Gray are the sophomore managers. November 20, 1935—Miss Bagley gave a stirring talk on Girls’ Athletics and the excellent good fellowship which the girls achieve in after-school athletics. The follow- ing girls received awards. Those receiving Gold pins were Nickie Rogocci, Opal Gill- ham, Zola Hardisty, Winifred Renfree, Miriam Walsh, Ila Drouin, Edeline Winters, and Jean Williams. “Winged R’s” were awarded Rose Enos, Anita McDonald, and Aurora Silva. Carol Hunt, Ruth Moitoza, Dorothy Paasch, and May Bush received the “Circle R” award. December 10, 1935—G. A. A. banquet in “Cafe”.

Richmond has had a splendid athletic season. Three factors in the success have been the well-balanced teams, the excellent coaching staff, and the school spirit dur- ing the season. This spirit was cultivated and made to grow by the yell leaders, Bob Martin, Jack Lee and Bill Ellis. It is to Head Yell Leader Martin and to his two assistants that the credit goes for the fine support of the Student Body at games.

In all their splendor, they are symbolic of time eternal. The consideration of man brings into question the subject of time, and we look first to these celestial bodies, the sun, “the Master of Time”, and the moon, “the Measurer of Time”, because they repre- sent the natural laws of the Universe by which time is measured. The division of seconds, minutes, hours... all this was not brought about overnight; rather was it the result of long years of study and observation of the heavens. With the development of society and organization, the complexity of life increased; more accuracy in the telling of time was required. Out of the prac- tice of the measurement of time by shadows cast down by the sun, came the development of the sun dials, which recorded only the sunny hours; and the hour glass, which steadily trickled its drops of water or fine stream of sand. These old and inaccurate timepieces slowly gave way to a mechanical device which became the predecessor of our clocks of today. Longfellow wrote in the Grandfather’s Clock”: “Even as a miser counts his gold, Those hours the ancient time piece told.” If the sun is the “Master of Time”, then must he be our Master, too, for are we not born the slaves of time? When only babes, we are scheduled to a time for eating, a time for sleeping, a time for recreation. As we grow older we find our time allotted by factors over which we have no control, school and working hours are all assigned; trains run on schedule; newspapers come out at certain hours; stores open and close at specified times. Because time is such a vital part of our lives, we have chosen it as the theme of the June 1936 Shield. We cannot stop the minutes to prolong the pleasure of a moment, but we can refer to written records in the future which will recall these pleasant memories. The Shield will mean increasingly more to us in the years to come, for then we can say: “This is a record of the Time - | spent in Richmond Union High School.” TIME HONORS: ADMINISTRATION SENIORS ACTIVITIES SPORTS PORIRY HUMOR By Page Four TUCKER = . = THEODORE MADSON DAVID C.GRAY - M.

IN TIME Thinking of these seniors made us wonder about their futures; say about ten years from now. Not wishing to wait ten years to find out, we visited Prof. I. C. Auhl for aid. Having little regard for Time, Auhl had invented a crystal that disclosed everyone’s future. Being a kind old gentleman, he gave us permission to use it. So we gazed into the crystal, and Naturally, we first thought of Elmer Garibaldi. People do, you know. There he was, shirt sleeves rolled up, cleaver in hand, vice-president of the Bull Meat Association. His office boy, Harold Felciano, was delivering messages between Elmer and his secretary, Catherine Malloy. Peeking at one message we saw that Elmer was betting on Charlie Brown, the middle weight boxing champion, against the bantam pugilist, Leo Costa. Satisfied, we called Neil Tolin’s name, and the scene shifted to the kitchen of a restaurant. Here was Neil, a cook’s cap on his head, directing Joe Cook and Frank Kosich in the completion of a “shrimp salad a la T olin”. Following this dish as it was served, we found the consumer to be Rose Barick, foremost fashion critic of 1946. Dining with her was Joe Moore, talkative lawyer. This meeting had been called so that Joe could help Rose win a case against Al Koster, who wrote « poem criticizing Miss Barick’s fashions for men (Back in ’36, Al wrote poems to his girl friends). Deciding to hunt for the talented people of R. U. H. S., we mentioned the name of Ileene White. The crystal revealed a Hollywood studio completing a musical film, “Alpine Tessie”, written by that author of romances, Ed Lasater. It co-starred Ileene and her dancing partner, Al Frosini. Art Bergman and his orchestra, with Bernice Bozich, blues singer, and Allan Newman, tenor, accompanied them (We remember when Allan couldn’t even get “A” in chorus). On the next set, the crystal showed Jarrett Green as the star of that dramatic masterpiece, “Hansel and Gretel”. In the feminine lead was Frances Wilson. On the same set were Anita McDonald, Velma Jacobs, Harold Johnson, Viola Williams, and Lorraine Petric in costumes, preparing for camera tests. Charles Card, Robert Prior, and John Chiozza, make-up men, were decorating Joe Contreras, Woodrow Nunez, and William Parker with paint and powder. Mary Poyner was there too, with a dreamy look in her eyes, writing poems and scenarios. When we mentioned the name of Don Dutro, the scene became hazy, but as it cleared we found Don painting a church steeple. Who ever thought Don would stoop so low as to paint church spires! Frank Silva and George Mason, Don’s assistants, held paint buckets for him. Glancing again, we sighted Dorothy Smith, professional hostess at the Ritz Hotel of Hoots- ville, Ark. As guests, Dorothy was entertaining such personalities as Bernice Scarsella, pianist for the merry-go-round at Coney Island; De Loris Turley, owner of “Ye Flea Circus”; Dick Wilkins, famous toe dancer; and Sam Cortese, head of an orphanage. Martha Miyamoto, also staying here, substituted for Gracie Allen and between acts searched for nickels in telephone booths. Our next thought was of Charles “Chuck” Hill. Looking in the crystal, we saw “Chuck” in partnership with Roland Hoblit and Elmer McTaggart, as proprietors of an automatic beer parlor. Evidently these fellows stopped playing football long ago. As their motto, they used, “Last in war, second in peace, but always first in the dining room”. The Clark brothers, James and John, entered our minds. They were together in business owners of a ham shop in Jerusalem. Through the shop window Anne Rubick and Florence Cassoni were seen bookkeeping between playing bridge and crocheting cow fences with crow bars. Mae Towne Hunt, a housewife, dropped in for tea, so Anne telephoned to Ludres Silva to come play bridge. We called for the next person we thought of, Peggy Krumdick. Now the crystal revealed a newspaper office. Looking over Peggy’s shoulder, we saw she was advising Jack Negus, through her Sob Sister column, not to ask the concert violinist, Patricia Knox, to dinner, as Pat was dieting. Peg next explained to Florence Barulich and Elsie Foster why they would either have to remain unmarried or separate, since it would be impossible to marry the same man. In the same office were: Dorothy Fidler, art critic for the Daily Tattler; Gordon Lowe, sports writer; John Healy, refiller of the staff fountain pens; and Francis “Mike” Lewis, woman’s feature page editor. “Mike” was assisted in writing cooking recipes and designing gowns by Lloyd Bowser and Frank Blomberg. The crystal next reflected the editor’s office, and seated at the desk, snapping his gum and frowning over crossword puzzles, was Vernon Slaten. The assistant editor, Anthony “Tony” Ormasa, was tapping the walls, hoping to find a hidden panel. He had just finished a mystery novel by John Casazza, and thought he was Philo Vance, detective. Loyd Moore was writing about the brave Marvin Maynard and his two assistants, Porfirio Gonzales and Martin McAndrews, deep sea divers for lost golf balls. In turn, many seniors flashed by: Harold Hershey, revolutionary leader in South America; Leonard Smith, “Dizzy Dean” of 1946; Martha Alstrom, elegy writer in a country churchyard; Francis Vignati and Ruth Minter, Hollywood’s happiest couple; June Baxter and Virginia Tate, directors of an acrobatic class; Gladys Murdo, landscape architect; Stella Anellini, grass skirt saleslady to Eskimos; Edna Wickersheim, lollipop saleslady on Hollywood Boulevard; Maria Sorensen, sunning her golden locks on the Riviera; Willie Nilsson, balloon maker in Vienna; Page Fifteen Jane Irrmann, missionary on the Goona-Goona Islands; Margaret Hofer, assistant to the under- taker, Ivan Newton. Abruptly the scene shifted, and we beheld Sylvia Gerletti reading Jane Weyand’s novel, “How to Hold Your Man”. Jane was the wife of J. D. Vincent, the eminent scientist who spent his spare time looking for cracks in sidewalks. Thinking of sports, we saw Heyno Paulson defeating Bill Tilden in tennis, while his wealthy friends, Leo Morgan, Dorothy Ciapponi, and Evelyn Costa, gave him their support. Harriett Pedrotti and Florence Parish appeared next, vying for prizes in discus throwing. Jack Bolljahn, to our astonishment, was found demonstrating the new Miami Suntan Powder. Next the rolling ocean was seen and here was Gavin Elwell piloting his ferryboat around, taking for rides the cream of Richmond society, namely, Nickie Rogocci and Rose Enos, heads of the Kindergarten Association; Lucy Piasente, cooking expert; Ina Corrigan, hair tonic demonstrator ; and Melba Maxey, hill-billy singer over station I. O. U. Jane Jenkins played the bazooka, and the song-and-dance team, Irene and Stella Kastanos, furnished entertainment. As we thought of politics, the crystal flashed to Elsine Beck. We saw a courtroom where Elsine, defense attorney, was attempting to prove to the jury that those two Hathaways, Dorothy and Milton, were the owners of the patent on unbreakable shoestrings. Jury members, Mabel Acredolo, Frances Faria, Charlotte Ballantyne, Michiko Mabuchi, Rex Bath, and Lowber Ran- dolph, however, favored the prosecuting attorney, Donald Uetz. Charles Rosenthal, judge, was enjoying a snooze on the bench, and dreaming, we presume, of his old sweetheart, Inez Casselman. Still thinking of politics, we saw Frances Ausez in court on trial for the unforgivable crime of taking candy from a baby. The baby, Bob Perasso, had hired G-man Jack Taylor to capture the adventuress. Before the trial was completed, Charles Lauritzen, a Latin professor, flashed before our vision. He was vainly trying to teach verbs to Florence Korb and Virginia Murphy, while Lucille Ellison watched them with a wise look. Charles “Chuck” Hahn, windy president of R. U. H. S., was our next remembrance. Imme- diately we saw an auction taking place with Chuck auctioning and displaying his tonsils to the crowd. George Sprau and Ruth Fink, his assistants, were vainly trying to say a word now and then. Elmo Milani, one of the spectators, spied a camera, and was unable to resist it. Florence Valencia, collector of antiques, and Louise Giusto, technocracy advocator, were among the bidders. We expressed our desire to see those “quiet” people of the class—Nellie Leming, Marjorie Collins, Grace Fregulia, and LaRoma Zundel. And had they changed! Nellie and Marjorie were showing the patrons of a New York night club the highlight on “truckin”, while Grace and LaRoma were chanting torch songs. In the chorus were Anna May Connors, Louise Selig, Patricia Radke, Alice Moore, Charles Covell, Harold Adams, Frank Lewis, and Jack Lee, doing a specialty dance created by Leila McLennan. Melo Milicevich! Why didn’t we think of him before? We now saw a tailor shop owned by Melo. “Footsie” was sitting with his feet carefully tucked in a closet, sewing on a tuxedo for Dave Bradshaw, that gigolo of gigolos. “Footsie’s” assistant, Arthur Zetka, was sewing buttons on Clarence Mackey’s vest. Since Clarence owned the restaurant, the buttons persisted in popping off. Our next inquiries were Bertha Pedrotti and Mary McVittie, whom the crystal portrayed as professors in a girls’ college. Bertha was teaching analytical psychology, and Mary, cosmetology. Walter Scott was the bus driver for the girls’ hikes. The scene changed now to a hospital and we found Margaret Morris, plastic surgeon, about to change the features of some trusting person. Mary Fraitas, Frances Anderson, Hazel Kamb, and Lois Berry were assisting the great Dr. Morris in her operation. As her model, Dr. Morris was using Viola Marcyes Silva. Our calling to mind Lucinda Loureiro caused the scene to shift to the streets of New York, and here were Lucinda, Doris Johe, Virginia Hull, and Lola Machado as street singers. Quite a crowd surrounded them, and there we saw Peggy Orthman, Park Avenue siren; Ruth Greendale, dietician; Elmo Randall, sound effects man for radio; and Alice McMaster, author of “Eyebrows, and How to Raise Them”, published by the Howard French publishing company. In the same crowd were Edward Palenchar, opera singer, and Harvey Johnston, manager of a troop of midgets. Off to the side, loudly advocating “Grandmother’s Sure-Shot Moth Balls” to a small group, was Eugene Jakobson. Beatrice and Aurora Silva were standing on each side of Eugene passing out free samples. From Yale College came glimpses of Leland Hardesty and Richard Boswell. By hard work and diligent study, these “Horatio Algers” had made good. John Mayernick and Harry Mayeda had also made good, by making the best sodas on Coney Island. Religion took its tithe from the members of this class, too. Merritt Herbst and Dale Peterson were missionaries on the Fiji Islands, and conducted a school of etiquette for the cannibals. When we called for the name of Marcelle Simpson, Professor Auhl indignantly carried off his magic crystal. We were surprised at first, but understood later when told that Marcelle was the rival of Professor Auhl in the field of crystal gazing. This was the end of our interview. Time HAD marched on, and had given us a bird’s-eye view of the futures of the departing seniors; so we were content to return to 1936, and wait for these prophecies to come true. Page Sixteen ACTIN Dae ES Seize moments while they stay; Seize and use them Lest you lose them And lament the wasted day. The cave man realized that a thinner shadow than that cast by a rock would be easier to read. In time it was discovered that by slant- ing a pointer exactly toward the north pole, the sun’s shadow could be read with more accuracy. Thus the sun dial, with its slanted pointer, came into existence. Page Seventeen Feb. 2—Frank. Editors Lindy and Dorothy. Print Shop. Mar. 2—Your autograph, please. Mar. 5—Student Dance Committee.

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS The Richmond Union High School Board of Commissioners for the Spring semester of 1936 has had one of the most eventful terms in the history of the school. Under the leadership of Charles Hahn, president, and Miss Hannah Drewry, faculty adviser, much important business has been transacted, including the revision of the constitution of the Student Association and the establishment of an efficient student court system. The constitution, which was first put into effect when the High School was at Twenty-third near Macdonald, had become obsolete. Many important changes were necessary before it could be made practical for the present High School. The com- mittee which worked out the revision consisted of Charles Brown, J. D. Vincent, and Stella Anellini, Mr. F. L. Culbertson and Mrs. Carroll F. Parrill of the faculty. After witnessing mock trials of the Longfellow Junior High School student court and of the High School commerce class, a satisfactory student court system was evolved. A standing jury consists of the president of the Honor Society, the editor of the Hi-Nus, the president of the Winged Shield, the president of the Girl Reserves, and the president of the Girls’ League. Mr. David C. Gray was appointed adviser for the court. Other highlights in the activities of this term’s commissioners were the Leap Year Dance in the girls’ gymnasium, the establishment of dancing in the Union for Student Body members on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the adoption of official rooters’ hats, the appropriation of funds for a Guest Book to be signed by visitors, and for a tower to be used in making football films. | Hahn has been assisted by the following staff of officers: Robert Hartwig, vice- president; Jane Weyand, secretary-treasurer; Melo Milicevich, boys’ athletic manager; Anita McDonald, girls’ athletic manager; Don Garrard, student judge; John Hayes, prosecuting attorney; Jess Gidley, commissioner of law and order; Betty Archibald, commissioner of social affairs; Grace Fregulia, auditor; and Jack Lee, head yell leader.

Mr. Tucker also spoke on the merits of the Honor Society. With the help of Miss Gertrude Weatherby, adviser, the Honor Society started a system of coaching students which worked very well and was a great aid to students having difficulty. Members of the society also took hall duty during the term. On April 22, Mr. Tucker presented certificates to 13 new members and spoke on the value of “Time”. The platinum pins, the highest award in the Honor Society, are worn by: Stella Anellini, Grace Fregulia, Jane Jenkins, Jane Johnson, Michiko Mabuchi, Martha Miyamoto, Bertha Pedrotti, Shirley Michel, Vern Willey, and Ruth Bastin. The social activity for the term was the annual picnic at Orinda, May 21. Thirty members left the school at 2 o’clock and returned at 8 o0’clock. Swimming, dancing, baseball, and a weinie roast were enjoyed by all. The officers for the term were: Glen Whalen, president; Annabelle Tarr, vice- president; Martha Miyamoto, secretary.

The club is com- posed of thirty-three members, and Mr. Fred Breen is the adviser. The Hi-Y meets every Monday, at which time business is conducted and speakers and entertainment are often featured. A successful social, a benefit dinner, and the annual spring semi-formal were other activities sponsored by the club this term. The officers for the past term were: J. D. Vincent, president; Neil Tolin, vice- president; Dick Wilkins, secretary; Edward De Foe, treasurer; Charles Hill, social chairman; Jack Tandy, athletic manager; and Francis Tomlinson, membership chair- man. EL CERRITO HI-Y El Cerrito Hi-Y, organized this semester under the leadership of C. E. Morris, secretary of the Albany Y. M. C. A., was formerly a group of boys bound together by friendship alone. This group decided progress would be made by joining the Y. M. C. A. There were 15 active members when the club received its charter four months ago. Now the club has a membership of 25 boys.

One is a business meeting; the other, a social, a lecture, or a field trip. On February 20, a party was held to welcome new members. On March 6, Miss Calena Crum, school nurse, spoke on communicable diseases. The Richmond Hospital was visited by the club on April 24, and much valuable information on equipment and first aid was gained. On Saturday, May 23, the members hiked to Mt. Tamalpais, and on May 29, the final social of the term was held. Officers for the semester were: Rose Enos, president; Ileene White, secretary; Blanche Noyes, treasurer; and Juliet Pasquini, social chairman. RADIO CLUB During the first half of the semester the Radio Club held meetings every Wednesday in Room 108. Demonstrations of the different functions of the modern radio receiving set were given. Every three weeks a regular business meeting was held. The officers of the club for this semester were: Campbell McIntyre, president; Elmo Randall, vice-president; and Phil Rios, secretary. Mr. Herbert Welch was faculty adviser for the club. Members of the club constructed sets at school. Each fellow brought parts which he did not need, to be used by the other members. Page Twenty-four GIRL RESERVES Younglove, Anellini, Wickersheim, Michel. KNIGHTS OF DUNAMIS Hoeffer, Ruzich, Garrard, Martin. GIRL RESERVES Under the leadership of Edna Wickersheim, president; Shirley Michel, vice-presi- dent; Dorothy Younglove, secretary; Stella Anellini, treasurer; Velda Maddox, pro- eram chairman; Marjorie Gengler, social chairman, and Bertha Hagen, service chair- man, the Girl Reserves have had an interesting term. The social events for this semester were the sophomore party, a hike and supper on the beach, a week-end trip to Stinson Beach with the G. A. A., and the final banquet for the graduating seniors. To climax the semester’s activities, an amusing play was given at the senior banquet by Velda Maddox, Helen Godman, Lois McKenna, Velma Jenks, Norma Rogers, Verna Johnson, Kathleen Waring, and Mary Wilkins. KNIGHTS OF DUNAMIS The Knights of Dunamis is a Boy Scout organization composed of Eagle Scouts. The members, in conjunction with other organizations throughout the state, hold regular meetings. The activities of the group are varied. The spirit of friendship and companionship is fostered through dances and many other amusements sponsored by the chapter. A spirit of loyalty and rivalry is augmented by the annual basketball game with Berkeley. Besides this game, the local chapter holds numerous other affairs in union with the Berkeley conclave. Richmond High is ably represented in the Knights of Dunamis movement by Frank Hoeffer, commander; Raymond Martin, senior guide; Joe Ruzich, junior councilor; and Don Garrard, inner guard.

JUNIOR STATESMEN Since the day of its organization almost two years ago, the Junior Statesmen of America has been one of the most progressive youth movements in the United States. The motto of the organization is “Make politics a noble profession”, and the program is to interest the youth of America in the doings of his government. The statesmen have set up a junior government similar to that of the adult, electing their own junior state officials. The local body this term attended three conventions which proved to be of impor- tance and interest. The conventions were held at the Hayward and University high schools, and at the University of California. The officers selected to carry on this term’s program were Allan Newman, presi- dent; Russell Leist, vice-president, and Doris Coudyser, secretary-treasurer. Don Garrard, former president of the local body, is now state governor. The Junior Statesmen club is open to any students who wish to join. This year the popularity of the body has spread throughout the state and more schools than ever have sent in for charters. It is the hope of Professor E. A. Rogers of Montezuma High School, who founded the organization, that it will become a nation-wide movement. STAGE CRAFT A group of three students, Dorothy Fidler, Martha Miyamoto and Charles Laurit- zen, directed by Mrs. Bernice James, designed and made all the stage settings for the programs during the semester. They also decorated the Union and Cafeteria for the Sophomore party, Junior-Senior tea, Senior dance, Senior party and Senior banquet. Outstanding among the settings of the term was that of the cannibal island prepared for the Senior Day program.

LIBRARY GIRLS In the fall of 1928, the Library Girls club was organized so that girls could be a greater help to the librarian and the school. As time went on, the interest in the organization grew. Now, it is one of the outstanding clubs of Richmond High. Each period of the day, a member of this organization assisted in the management of the library. Mary Tom Shelton, low senior, was chosen president of the Library Girls this semester. Other members were: Dorothy Carruthers, vice-president; Lorene Prather, secretary; Hazel Castro, social chairman; Elsie Johnson, Mary MceVittie, Zella Jane Mark, Jane Johnson, Ermenia Casazza, and Mildred Walker. A meeting was held once a month. Among the social events this term were a picnic at Orinda, a movie, and a dinner in honor of the graduating senior of the club, Mary MeVittie, and her mother, Mrs. J. A. McVittie. The lettering of the books in the library was done by Russell Leist. WINGED SHIELD The membership of the Winged Shield Society is limited to boys who have received athletic or managerial awards, commissioners, and boys who are presidents of an organization that has a faculty sponsor. In the last year this society has widened the scope of its activities; and the interest and initiative of its members in so doing is commendable. The Winged Shield has assumed the responsibility of selecting from their membership a vigilante committee, whose function it is to police the field and gymnasium, assist in handling the crowds, maintain order and foster proper sportsmanship at all athletic events. The society has also accepted the sole responsibility of operating the score board at athletic contests, and this phase of their work has been capably handled. A standard award sweater was selected by the organization and rules governing its use were adopted. The G. A. A.-Winged Shield bean feed was held on May 20. A program of pictures and musical numbers was presented, and dancing was enjoyed in the Union. Officers of the spring term were: Jim Wilson, president; Ed Johansen, vice-presi- dent; Melo Milicevich, secretary; and Mike Lewis, sergeant-at-arms.

Miss Drummey was assisted by Hazel Kamb, vice-president: Nida Jardine, secretary; Dorothy Smith, treasurer; Hazel Mills, social chairman; and Kathryn Johnson, parliamentarian. The purpose of the organization is to help in public welfare and to form social contacts for the girls. Activities during the term included assisting with the Flood Relief service and raffling a radio in order to raise funds to send a girl to camp. The Tri-Club was entertained with a beach party at the Rod and Gun Club, and two girls, Anita Drum- mey and Hazel Mills, were representatives at a Girl Reserve Conference at Mills College. Mrs. Lucille Mills is the counselor for the group, and the sponsors are Mrs. M. M. Connor, Mrs. W. E. Smith, and Mrs. W. P. Drummey. TRI-CLUB Under the guidance of Jane Weyand, president, the Tri-Club spent most of this semester reorganizing and building up its membership.

L. championship, the Richmond High B's completed one of the most dramatic and interesting seasons in the history of the B teams. After losing their first two games of the season, the smallest B team ever put out by Coach Frank Ribbel started on a rampage that was never to be forgotten by the High school rooters. Given only an outside chance to win the league because of lack of experience and size, this team became one of the smoothest playing quintets in the league. They lost only four of sixteen games during the season, three of which were practice games. Al Tetzschner, center and captain of the Jayvees, took high point honors, scoring 132 points. “Fuzzy” Bowles and Al Dias, two of the smallest forwards ever to repre- sent a Richmond team, turned in brilliant, defensive games. Holding down the guard positions were Chester Smith and Earle Quinn. Quinn was a little slow in starting, but proved to be one of the best guards in the league. Losing their first two games, the Oilers came back to win five straight before they dropped one to McClymonds by a 15 to 12 score. Starting the A. C. A. L., the Oilers defeated Berkeley in a hotly contested game by a 35 to 24 score. Piedmont upset the Richmond machine when they took the Oilers to camp by a 24 to 19 score. Richmond recovered from this defeat to win the remainder of the league games, taking Hayward 32 to 13, Berkeley 33 to 13, Piedmont 24 to 16, and Hayward, again, 30 to 17. The B’s accepted the challenge of the varsity and won a hard fought game by the score of 30 to 26. In winding up the season, the B’s beat the Alumni in the annual game.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The Varsity Basketball team, although a little slow in starting, finished fast to end the season in a three way tie for the A. C. A. L. championship. The Oilers got off to a bad start, winning only three of ten practice games, but hit their stride during league competition and took four of six games, losing one apiece to Berkeley and Piedmont. The starting lineup during the largest part of the season usually found Bogliolo and Lewis at the forward positions, Milicevich at center, and Whalen and Crane at suards. Covell, Corey, McLaughlin, Vincent, Wilson, and Hahn also saw action in most games. Captain Pete Bogliolo led the scorers for the season with a total of 128 points. He was also, along with Melo Milicevich, given honorable mention on the all-county team. In the season’s opener with Tamalpais, the Oilers eked out a two point victory, but in the second game against San Rafael they were beaten by the same margin. Rich- mond then trounced a weak Emeryville team in their third game by a 27-16 score, but was swamped by Pittsburg, 35-24. The last Richmond victory during the practice season was over Diablo, whom they beat 26-22. They then lost consecutive games to Alhambra, John Swett, McClymonds, University, and again to Alhambra, but showed considerable improvement with each game, losing the last three by scant margins.

In the league opener, the varsity lost a heartbreaker to Berkeley, a last minute rally falling short by three points, but came back to score a big upset by trouncing Piedmont, 32-20. Coach Williams used his reserves through most of the Hayward eame, which Richmond won hands down by a 40-20 score. Richmond opened the second half of the A. C. A. L. by getting revenge on Berkeley, defeating them in a thrilling contest by a 40-35 score. The Oilers were completely outclassed in their return game with Piedmont, the Highlanders winning by the lop- sided score of 33-17. Richmond then traveled to Hayward where they met with unexpected opposition but still managed to come out on top, winning 31-28. The A. C. A. L. came to a close with the playing of the Hayward game with Rich- mond, Berkeley, and Piedmont, each having won four and lost two, in a three-way tie for first place. Hayward, although they failed to win a game, finished in second place. Before turning in their suits, the Oilers trimmed the Alumni to the tune of 44-38. At the start of the A. C. A. L. the Oiler varsity wasn’t conceded a chance, but proved themselves the “darkhorses” of the league.

TRACK Climaxing a season that was devoted to building a good team for next year, Rich- mond’s tracksters bowed to the Alumni 56 to 48, May 4. The Oilers opened their season by taking third place with 21 points in a meet that Concord won with 46 points. Pittsburg placed second with 36. Improvement came rapidly during the next week and the team came through to defeat the Alhambrans 65 to 47. In another tri-meet, Concord again won with 51 points to Pittsburg’s 44 and Richmond’s 41. Richmond then defeated the Hayward Farmers on the local track by a score of 59 to 45. In the A. C. A. L. meet, the Oilers were hopelessly outclassed. J. D. Vincent, the only man to place, scored a second in the high hurdles. After their regular season was completed, the Oilers entered the third annual Martinez relays. Richmond tied for fourth place with Stockton High, scoring 481% points. The Oilers took seconds in the 2 mile and the shot put relays, and thirds in the 880, low barrier and high barrier relays. Don Adams tied for third in the high jump. Jim Wilson threw the shot 45 feet, Vincent ran the barriers in 17 and 28 seconds flat. Young ran the 100 in 10:6, Calestini ran the 220 in 24:3, Adams jumped 5 feet 9 inches, Quinn vaulted 10 feet 6 inches, Bogliolo broadjumped 19 feet 10 inches, Covell ran the 440 in 54, Bonaparte rambled the mile in 5:06 and Tolin ran the 880 in 2:10. Track men who scored points are: Young, 25; Wilson, 23; Lewis, 26; Quinn, 17; Bogliolo, 19; Tolin, 15; Calestini, 12; Adams, 11; Covell, 10; Hayes, 10; Bona- parte, 7; Zurr, 5; Pearce, 6; Silvas, 8; McDowall, 6; Hall, 2; Hartwig, 5; Gidley, 1; and Ormasa, 1. J. D. Vincent was the main cog of the team this season and he will be greatly missed next year. He won seven hurdle races and scored 48 points to lead the team in scoring. At the end of the season the squad unanimously elected him captain. Page Thirty-five BASEBALL TEAM—Bottom row: Quadros, Vargas, Gomez, Costa, Bignall, Fukushima, Moniz, Rinna.

BASEBALL Finishing the A. C. A. L. in third place, the Richmond High baseball squad had one of the best seasons in several years. The squad defeated every school which par- licipated in the league this season except the Berkeley Yellowjackets. The Oilers lost both Berkeley games, the first by a score of 3-2, and the second by a score of 9 to 3. Alameda beat the Oiler squad 2-0 in the first of the two game series, but the home team won a close game 7-6 in the second. The feature game of the league season was the 0-0 eleven inning battle at Hayward called because of darkness. The return game with Hayward was a walk-away for Richmond, 10-1. In pre-league games the Oiler squad won 8 of the 13 practice games, and in league competition won 2 games and tied one of the 6 games played. In the practice season, victories were scored over Albany, San Rafael, Castlemont, Mt. Diablo, John Swett, and Martinez. A close 10 inning game was dropped to St. Mary’s Frosh by a 4-3 score and another to the U. C. Freshmen. Earl Edwards and Len Smith, both lettermen from last season’s team playing their last season for Richmond, bore the pitching assignment. Taro Fukushima, who has another season of baseball, was the only other man on the pitching staff to see action in any of the games. Joe Vargas, a low sophomore, and Jack Bolljahn, a gradu- ating senior, alternated throughout the season at the catcher’s position. Moore led the team in hitting with a .344 average. Moniz was next with .313, and Christopher followed with an average of .300. This season’s squad was coached by Phil Hempler and captained by Leo Costa, second baseman, who completed his third year on the varsity. AG, AL RESULTS A. C. A. L. STANDINGS Firelmionit (2.5258.

SWIMMING For the first time in the history of Richmond Union High School, swimming was made a regular sport on an equal basis with football, baseball, and track. Several A. C. A. L. meets were held. The team practiced three times a week at the Richmond Natatorium. George Miller, alumnus of R. U. H. S., volunteered as coach. The first meet was with Berkeley. The squad, with only a few week’s practice, won five of the nine events but lost by three points, 36-39. It was in this meet that George Kendrick unofficially broke the A. C. A. L. and C. I. F. 100 yard breast stroke record when he swam the distance in 1:13.9. In a return meet with Berkeley, the Oilers turned the tables and won 36-39. Winning seven of eight events, the team next whipped John Swett High, 62-22. Richmond clashed with the strong Alameda swimming team and lost by one point, 37-38. In a three way meet with Berkeley and Crockett at the California pool at Berkeley, the team fell below par to place second. The scores were: Berkeley 45, Richmond 39, John Swett 3. Richmond next met Balboa high and trounced them 5014 to 2414. James Lowrie’s victory in the 220 was the highlight of the meet. Meeting Alameda in a return meet, the squad lost 36-39, as a result of an upset in which Madsen lost the 100 yard freestyle. The A. C. A. L. meet at Berkeley came next. In spite of George Kendrick’s two defeats in the breaststroke and backstroke, the team made a fine showing. Ed Madsen became A. C. A. L. champion in the 50 yard freestyle and tied for first in the 100. Porky Borgstrom took the springboard diving title and Adams placed third. Bob Crane splashed his way to fourth in both sprints with Lowrie taking a fourth in the 220. The final score: Berkeley 39 1 3, Richmond, 32 1 3, Alameda 30 1 3. Members of the team are: Ed Madsen, sprints; Bob Crane, sprints; Charles Rosen- thal, breaststroke; George Kendrick, breaststroke and backstroke; James Lowrie, 220; Porky Borgstrom and Howard Adams, diving; and Donald Busby, Bill Blair, Dp? Tony Cortese, and Harvey McDowall, relay men. Page Thirty-seven CMTELG � « SUITR SEG. SENIOR MANAGERS Brougham, Crist, Samp- son, Brunjes.

MANAGERS Behind the scenes, the athletic managers work unheralded to make successful arrangements for every game. Work is carried on by three groups: sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Each person works one day a week. The senior managers head the organization and supervise all orders from the coaches. In their efforts to aid the players, managers care for equipment, pick up towels and clean the locker rooms. During games they look after everything from benches to the score board. Managers are chosen during their sophomore year and are promoted every year thereafter. At the end of the senior year each one receives a block “R” for his valuable work.

GIRLS’ ATHLETICS The Girls’ Athletic Association, under the direction of the Misses Clara McLaurin and Alice Bagley, instructors; Anita McDonald, G. A. A. president, and Mary Fraitas, secretary, has completed an active term. The G. A. A. was formed to enable girls interested in athletics to enjoy interclass competition. The major sports of this semester were basketball and baseball. Minor sports included archery, which is under the instruction of Miss Broberg, tennis, bad- minton, and swimming. Managers elected for the first quarter were Nickie Rogocci, 2-12’s; Marion Reeb, 1-12’s; Rose Muzzi, 2-11’s; Violet Rose, 1-11’s; Jean Sonoda, 2-10’s; and Eva Toia, 1-10’s. The first play day of the quarter was held at Martinez, in October. High school girls, representing various Contra Costa high schools, participated. Active members come out three nights a w eek, thus obtaining points. At the end of each term, various awards are given according to the number of points the girl has made. At the end of the first quarter eight graduating seniors received their gold pins, which is the highest honor a G. A. A. member can obtain. These awards were made to Stella Anellini, Mary Fraitas, Nickie Rogocci, June Baxter, Rose Enos, Florence Korb, Anita McDonald, and Edna Wickersheim. Baseball managers elected for the second quarter were Marjorie Collins, 2-12’s; Annie Alexich, 1-12’s; Dorothy Costello, 2-11’s; Blanche Noyes, 2-10’s; Yoshiko Katayanagi, 1-11’s, and Mary Martinucci, 1-10’s. The East Bay Federation meeting, held once a term, was presented on May 16. Eight girls are selected from each school. Those girls who attended from Richmond High were Blanche Noyes, Dorothy Newman, Elizabeth Pfeil, Eulalia Granada, Mar- garet Shubat, Shirley Michel, Mary Fraitas, and Anita McDonald. Second quarter highest awards were presented to Shirley Michel, Margaret Shubat, Annie Alexich, Marion Morse, and Marion Reeb. Page Thirty-nine YELL LEADERS—Leake, Lee, Beck.

Page Forty TENNIS As a result of strong competi- tion, R. U. H. S. net-men lost a majority of their matches this semester. However, team spirit was splendid, and the boys did their best to win honor for Rich- mond High. The Oilers met the following schools in a series of “round robin” tennis: Piedmont, Berke- ley, Alameda, and Hayward. At the end of the season, Piedmont won by a large margin. The Highlanders were led by Bob Harmon, former boy champion of the United States. Berkeley came in second, and Alameda placed third. After a hard strug- gle, Richmond and Hayward tied for fourth, each winning one match. Members of the team were: First singles, Herbert Hunn; second singles, Heyno Paulson; third singles, Walter Batchel- der; fourth singles, Neil Yepson, and fifth singles, Stanley Grif- fin. First doubles were played by Neil Yepson and Herbert Hunn; second doubles, by Hey- no Paulson and Walter Batch- elder. Loyd Moore, a veteran from last year’s team, was un- able to play in most of the matches.

The squad went through four weeks of strenuous work to get into shape for the fall season. Running, blocking, tackling, pass offense and defense, kick offense and defense, and plays were taught the team by Coaches Ribbel and Williams. Frequent scrimmages were held and the weaknesses of the team were revealed. The most apparent weaknesses were lack of good kickers and runners, and lack of reserves. The line, with four returning veterans from last year’s championship team, proved to be much stronger than the backfield. The linemen averaged 168 pounds. The backs averaged 164 pounds. Coach Ribbel developed some new power plays that worked excellently. These, together with the old plays, gave the quarterback a good variety of plays to choose from.

GOLF With the playing of the Alameda match on May 22, the Richmond High Golf team finished what may be termed a very su ccessful season, not only because of the playing ability of the squad, but also from the point of view of the interest shown. The team lost five matches and won one in league competition, losing twice to Alameda, winners of the league, and also to Piedmont. Their only win was over Berkeley, whom they easily defeated. The squad consisted of Rex Elwell, first player and one of the best in the league; Arvid Madison, second player; Arthur Holland, third player; George Zurilgen, fourth player; Clifford Faria, fifth player; and Raymond Brieger, sixth player. All of these fellows will return for another year or two of competition. The team was coached this year by Frank Ribbel, who looks forward to a success- ful golf season next year. TRI-CLUB (Continued from Page Thirty) The girls held meetings once every two weeks at the home of one of the members. The accomplishments for this semester were the semi-formal dance, which was given at the Town and Gown Club in Berkeley, May 2, a rushing luncheon at the Lake Merritt Hotel, and the revision of the club constitution. Members of the cabinet for the term were Jane Weyand, president; Margaret Hofer, vice-president; Annabelle Tarr, secretary; Doris Coudyser, treasurer; Sue Zana Boyce, chaplain; Esther Lynn Jones, historian; Betty Archibald, social chair- man; and Doris Turner, marshal. Other members of the club are: Ruth Moitoza, Marian Reeb, Carol Hunt, Betty Hunn, Marjorie Spaulding, Nadine Williams, Fay Hallstrom, Annie Alexich, Marian O’Brien, Marian Morse, and Alma Morttizia.

D., a monk took the first impor- tant step toward producing a clock. It had neither dials nor hands, and was used to call the monks to prayer. After the fall of Rome, all this was forgotten until Archimedes dis- covered the principle of the pendulum, which was used in early clocks. He and his knowledge had long passed away when, in the eleventh century, clocks first sounded the hours. Years, months, days have passed. Civilization has advanced, and with it, the reckoning of time. Page Forty-three A “BRAINSTORM” IN DISGUISE Of all the children in the class, I’d like to be the “star”, In order not to have t o dig Into my books so far. And when the teacher asked about The numbers two plus two, Then I could answer and say, “Four,” Just as some others do. And when she asked us for a poem, Just all I’d have to do THE STARS Lying here in the great outdoors, Protected from the breeze, I know the stars watch over me, As do the stately trees. I’m wondering as I’m resting here Gazing upward at the stars, If anyone is lying there, Looking at this earth of ours. And if there is, I hope the sight Is as pleasing to his eye, Would be to think just one small mite, As is the wonderous view I see, Spread before me in the sky. —Shirley Michel. And likely, ’'d have two. But woe is me, I’m not like that! I sit and think and try And still my brain is just a blank. Oh, can you tell me why? —Doris Coudyser. THE BABY SISTER Oh gosh, Ma, I don’t have to take her along, It’s just for the boys, and ’sides it’s all wrong To have to go ’round being tagged by molls CHRISTMAS SHOPPING Who cry and take on for ya to carry their dolls. Of course I’d wait till Christmas Eve, To do so many things, Gee whiz, Mom, do have a heart, To buy some toys for Johnny, After all ’'m a boy and it ain’t my part; And for Sis, some brass earrings. ’Sides it’s no fun being dubbed “Nurse Maid”, And having kids hollerin’, “How much are ya I’d rush around from store to store, paid?” But still I can not find The things that I am looking for, I can’t take a step th’out her being there, There’s so much on my mind. No fooling, Ma, she gets in my hair. Last time she ate over half the cake, At last I find a counter And ‘fore we could stop her, let loose our pet Filled with socks both loud and smart; Salta I'll get a pair for Johnny. Well, now I’ve made a start. The gang blames me and say it’s my fault Cause all the sugar’s been mixed with the salt, And if somethin’ else happens, well, I’m telling you, It'll be about the last thing that Sister will do! But still, I haven’t found a thing That looks like brass earrings; I can’t imagine what a girl Sees in that kind of thing. q 9 q 7 ? : cc hd « € � I trudge around it seems for hours, No, I’m not threatnin’, I just said a fact, But still I have no luck; There doesn’t seem to be a place That keeps that kind of truck. And ya needn’t take on bout the way I act. She’s the one I tell ya, she’s a darn sight worse, Where I come in second, she gets there first! Well, since I cannot find her wish, Gee whilikins, Mom, there’s the gang now; A book will play the part; Please can’t I go th’out her anyhow? Oh gosh, gee whiz, well put on her coat— Guess that’s a boy’s life with a sister to tote. An airplane or a cowboy, Ought to warm her little heart. —Francis Tomlinson. —Eugenia Floyd. Page Forty-four OUR TIMEPIECES Clocks are just the queerest things, As everyone must know; Whenever you're in a hurry, They’re always sure to go. A dashing away their time, as though They’re running in a race; But when you’re waiting patiently, They’re bound to slacken pace. And with a mocking look upon Their cunning little faces, They no longer wish to run Or to think they’re going places. But instead they grin and laugh With their tinkling little chime, While you sit by and bear it In counting out the time. They tick on and on incessantly With never a halt or break, Except in case of run down Or machinery not good make. They persist in running circles, And it doesn’t make them dizzy, {Instead they keep on plodding Like the faithful old tin lizzie. If you should ask them what th ey see On their journeys round and round, They'd just give that knowing tick, And tick on the same old sound. —Ruth Bastin. IT HURTS A husband was about to leave On a business exploration. His darling wife was waiting Til the train pulled from the station. “Oh, hurry back,” she said to him. He answered, “Don’t you worry.” And then the cry of “All aboard”, The husband had to hurry. He held her tight; tears filled her eyes. “Now there, you mustn’t cry, Rose.” “It’s not because your leaving, but— You’re standing on my toes.” —Stanley Rusich. THE MOONSHIP Sometimes I think of the moon on high, As a ship that sails on a sea, A sea made up of the clouds and sky And islands, the stars I see. A ship that could carry a fairy queen On its deck in a throne of gold. And in its hold are things ne’er seen, Jewels and silver of beauty untold. But alas! I know that such things cannot be, And the thought of a sea in the sky Was never meant to be dreamed of by me. Still, the moonship goes sailing by. —Norman Lamble. DEATH! Why flinch from Death, oh lowly knave? Why wish to be as ever? It is a noble stroke that breaks The bonds of life forever. It is no sin to die a man, A man with spirits gaining. Then why should you, oh lowly knave, From Death be so refraining? Is it the fact that during life You added to your sorrow By breaking faith with all that’s true And stealing from the morrow? A man should always think of Death As gift to be accepted, As Peace that seeketh one from birth, As end to be expected. Chris Vasquez. I think of heaven by a stream, A heaven set ‘neath sunny sky, Where all one does is lie and dream; And plague-like cares just pass one by. I think of roof-tops, rough with age, And placid walks, where I would roam. Yes, it would take a seer to gauge The thoughts of my returning, HOME! —Arthur Conemac. Page Forty-five TIME PLODS ON Time, the weakly broadcast, presents the men they consider to be the awfullest historians of the day in a half-hearted presentation of the worsest news of the century. FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1936 In Times Square, New York, today, William Handout Worst announced that a typhoon believed to have originated in the Baltic Sea, struck the California coast last night, and caused considerable damage. Joe Moore, the Patrick Henry of Richmond High, is investigating this to determine whether the Balkan government started the typhoon. He says that if he remembers his parliamentary law, it may mean war. The Richmond High Sanitarium for the Feeble-minded engaged the torso-stickers of the Honeylu, Hawaii, School for Backward Boys, today in a hard fought meet. The Richmond team, composed of George Millovich, Norman Wees, Oscar Franson and Howard Barnes, mopped the field with their opponents. One boy was run through with a sword 51 times. He isn’t expected to recover. Guess he can’t take it. Then Oscar got the mumps. Spankstown, Pa.—Contempt of Court has been charged against Bill Blair whose refusal to pay alimony to his three wives has netted him several weeks in jail. He protested that he could not even buy his present wife the ermine coat she wanted. Paris, France.—In Paris today, Mademoiselle Phermosphina Spitzka (Helen Raf- fanelli), foremost critic of the country, announced that her newest afternoon dress model will soon be on display. It is faultlessly tailored of Globe A-1 flour sacks arranged to produce a modernistic zig-zag effect. Last year’s Christmas ribbons are worn as trimmings on the sleeves and neck to lend a distinctive air. Marian Bryant was awarded the Grand Prize in a nationwide liar’s competition today. The nature of her story was not revealed, but in a statement to the Press she said that she was the creator of the detective who was left handed and who therefore had to march forth and back instead of back and forth as right-handed people march. Sam Teese, class of 2000, today revealed the greatest mistake in history. “Colum- bus did not discover America,” he claims. “On that day he was so seasick he thought he was boxing Joe Louis.” Lloyd Bowser, well known dog imitator, lost his voice today as a result of standing with one foot in a puddle. He said he couldn’t imagine why one foot was so cold. Chicago, Ohio.—A crowd came to see the trial of Boyco Solich, who was accused of stealing a doll buggy (there was a baby in it). Because of the lack of standing room, the gentlemen sat on the floor and let their feet hang. Judge Hahney charged him with petty theft and then took up a collection. Pinnochle, California—Bill Curtis today tried for a new stratosphere record. His contraption was a toy balloon and a barrel that was set off by some gunpowder. He went up 2 feet and come down on his head. Today, the Supreme Court gave the decision that Bob Crisler was a rowdy, a ruffian, and a brute. Tokyo, Japan.—Because he tried to blow up Japan with a firecracker, Clarence Thompson was held at the dog pound where he was tried and sentenced to build board stretchers for enlarging the pound house. Old York, Old York.—Nida Jardine, youthful dress model, made a successful debut. The man in the audience, the janitor, and the cat fell asleep. She tripped only ten times and fell off the stage twice. TIME PLODS ON! Page Forty-six CUCKOO Cuckoo, cuckoo, a bird in a clock, A-telling the hours to the sound of tick tock.
