Mr. William Bush CAMERA CLUB Under the capable leadership of president Emerald McCullough and the able direction of Mr. Bush, faculty adviser, the Camera Club enjoyed a very active term. To members of the Camera Club goes the credit of taking, enlarg- ing, and mounting pictures for the Shield. In addition to the work on the Shield, members of the club studied the fundamentals of photog- raphy, sponsored a photo contest, and held their semi-annual club party. Doris Lewis acted as secretary and Bob Carhart as social chairman. CAMERA CLUB CREDITS — L.O.L. Officers, Bert Dalton, Emerald McCullough; Girls’ League Officers, E. McCullough; Traffic Committee, B.

Coach Pascoe Captain Richard Hunn VARSITY BASKETBALL At the outset of the season, Coach Pascoe assembled a band of basketball players with which he was to mould his 1938-39 hoop aggregation. John O’Donohoe, Earl Moore, Lou Diaz, all-A.C.A.L. forward, Jack Myers, and Les Putnam were conspicuous by their absence. It is history that those talented cagers were very instrumental in jockeying the Varsity into second place in the Alameda County Athletic League stand- ings last year. Forwards, Ed Rusich and Ed Williams; center, Ben Lowrie; and guards, Ray Suy and Dick Hunn started against Piedmont, those hated Highlanders, in the A.C.A.L. inaugural. Ensuing an epic struggle, Richmond was edged out, 29-22. The din at that contest was so terrific, a woman swooned! Berkeley’s winning spree was intact when the Yellow-Jackets paraded off the Richmond hardwood. They had conquered the Oilers, 25-18. Albany played host to the Oilers at Burbank Jr. High and were trounced 29-22. At this point, Richmond had developed reserve strength and was accumulating polish with every game. Johnny Morken exhibited sterling calibre in the Cougar embroglio by waging a remarkable defensive battle. At Alameda, Richmond blasted the Hornets to win, 42-28. Lou Ruffatto, George Peterson, and Ray Suy all shot accurately, and the story of the victory is thereby told. Hayward eked out a triumph over Richmond in the Navy Blue and Red gymnasium.
