Bessie BARBIKAS NATHANIEL ALLYN % Jack Hupner LurLine WHITE SENIOR CLASS ACHIEVEMENTS ONE OF MANY, you may say, but the graduating class of June 1941 has made a mark on the heart of old Richmond High that will not soon be for- gotten. This class started its successful term by electing a successful set of officers; Francis En- right, president; Manuel Rose, vice-president; Lurline White, secretary; and Glenda Hiner, treasurer. The semi-annual Mixer Party under the direc- tion of Valrea Walker was one of the outstanding events of the term. Seniors agreed it was “the best ever.” The Senior class was also well represented on the athletic field; our next year’s squad will be greatly weakened by the loss of the following students; Turner Brashear, Edward Peralsky, Bill Fox, Jack Germaine, Jack Mackey, and Ezio Tog- netti. Senior Day went off in traditional glory with a super production called “When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go.” As usual the Senior Banquet was one of the highlights for the graduating class. The Senior Will was different from the usual this year; it was in the form of the Hi-Nus. The guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. Tucker and Mr. and Mrs. Gray. The speakers were Frank Scott, Francis Enright, Mr. Tucker, Jack Mackey, Gloria Perrero, and Miss Weatherson. As parting words to the Senior class, may we say that we hope they have as much success in later life as they have had during their high school careers. i @ ee ?

Pictured above y y snug Centering around the “draft,’ are a few of the mainstays in the production including “F. D. R.” Hill, Pearl “Can-Can” Vitali, “Pied Piper” Hawkins, the “Pirate” lads, and a scene from the production. SENIOR DAY THIs YEAR’s Seniors dished up one of the most flavorable concoctions we’ve ever been privileged to taste. Ingredients for this taste thrill went something like this: one table- spoon of Oakley (hillbilly) Massey, a good portion of Ralph (F. D. R.) Hill, a sprin- kling of good corny wit, and a heaping tablespoon of comedy, music and variety. Mix together, stir well and serve piping hot. The result: A most hilarious production titled “Tf You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go.” Penned by student authors, the comedy centered around the adventures of a dumb and unsuspecting hillbilly, Oakley Massey, who unwittingly holds the lucky bingo number in the government’s new vacation game (the draft to you). Ralph Hill’s por- trayal of Franklin Roosevelt proved to be the highpoint in the breezy production. Following the performance, Miss Brooke, costume committee chairman, awarded prizes to the most cleverly costumed seniors. Winners were Pearl Vitali, dressed as a “can-can dancer,” and Fay Hawkins, portraying the Pied Piper of Hamlin. Noon periods found the costumed seniors free to roam the campus at their will, photo- graph one another, and dance in the Union. Characters portrayed by senior class members for the Senior Day celebration proved most original. Noteworthy characterizations included Carl Mayers, cleverly costumed as the “Mummy”; the chain gang had its showing also, when Marvin Elston and Keith Pennebaker trouped in in the proverbial striped suit, dragging the equally proverbial ball and chain. Looking as though he had just stepped from the Chaplin production “The Dictator,” LeRoy Graham ably took the cake as the “Little Furor.” No day could be complete without the presence of the bewhiskered, cigar smoking renegade of the Marx Brothers, Groucho, who was superbly played by Harley Carter. Everyone had his day; every kind of impersonation was presented by the wittiest bunch of seniors we've been privileged to see. From the familiar cowpunchers to the supposedly terri- fying “boy pirates,” Senior Day, this year, could easily be called “the best ever.” ACTIVITIES Arthvr M£ECdhh JACK MACKEY Student Body President Girls’ League... THE Girts’ LEAGUE, organized in 1926 to es- tablish friendship among the girls of Rich- mond High, was ably presided over this past term by Gloria Perrero, president. The other officers were Betty Calfee, vice- president; Patricia Bradbury, secretary; and Uldine Peterson, social-chairman. Uldine presented three very entertaining programs: a Valentine program, a fashion show, and a play. The Valentine program consisted of a series of tableaus depicting the various kinds of val- entines sent in different eras. A large blackboard and several books served as a background for the Spring fashion show. The girls of the clothing classes made the dresses that they modeled. “So This Is Hollywood,” a comedy which dealt with a day in the life of a typical movie idol’s wife, was presented by a group of girls interested in dramatics. The girls were coached by Mrs. M. Pearson. This play marked the end of one of the most successful terms in the history of Girls’ League. SCHOOL GOVERNMENT Commissioners... R. U. H. S. activities were ably led this term by nine commissioners working under the Student Body President, Jack Mackey. In addition to the three dances which were planned by Betty Nielsen, Commissioner of Social Affairs, the students enjoyed a movie, a variety show, and a one-act play. Several noon concerts in which promising student talent was displayed were presented. The commissioners for the Spring 1941 term were: President, Jack Mackey; Vice- President, Ralph Hill; Secretary-Treasurer, Betty Raynolds; Commissioner of Law and Order, Ed Seger; Commissioner of Social Af- fairs, Betty Nielsen; Commissioner of Girls’ Athletics, Angie Poloni; Commissioner of Boys’ Athletics, Johnny DeFabio; Student Judge, Richard Maxwell; Prosecuting Attor- ney, Earl Kelleghan; and Head Yell Leader, Marilyn Fuglestad.

MIKI FISHEL Shield Editor Shreld..: THIS TERM the two Journalism classes have once again completed their semester success- fully and have produced a bigger and better Shield. Most of the term was spent in planning the Shield which was not an easy task to do as there were many changes made. Improvements this semester included the enlargement of the book to include class and advisory pictures, the addition of pictures of three clubs not rep- resented in previous Shields, and cover im- provements. The Shield staff includes: Miki Fishel, edi- tor; Bob Cuthbertson, senior editor; Betty Cal- fee, activities editor; George Walker, humor editor; Phyllis Schimpff and Jimmy Shallen- berger, co-business managers; Eugene Pleau and Louie Fara, co-sports editors; Ken Nelson, candid shots editor; Ruby Fara, accountant; and Miss Kathryn Daly, adviser. Assistants were: Elda Marello, Pat Leake, Steve Ewing, Gloria Filice, Jim Elliot, Bob Kates, Don Batchelder, Audrey Everitt, Betty Griffin, Peggy Shackleford, Dan Strong, Jean Nelson, Ray Walker, Dorothy Odell, Marilyn Fuglestad, George Waddingham, Dorothy Brandenburg, Muriel Brisbin, Lyman Ing- raham, Pat McQuiston, Thelma Messinger, John Nicol, Bill Ratto, Jane Rude, Armand Turley, Bob Moore, Allyce Campbell, Lois Crigler, Paul Maerklen, and Kathryn Swearin- gen. JOURNALISM fl Ped lies ss CREDITED WITH having edited twenty editions of the Hi-Nus, setting several records in fast production, and the addition of seventy-two point headlines, the journalism classes have finished the term. Thelma Messinger, editor for the term, was ably assisted by her staff of twenty-five cub reporters, twelve full-fledged reporters and the executives: Bob Moore, business manager; Pat McQuiston, advertising manager; and Steve Ewing, sports editor. Bob Cuthbertson, Miki Fishel, and Thelma Messinger assisted in the Orientation Program to inform the sophomores of the process of producing the Hi-Nus. A visit to the cub reporters’ class was made by Mr. Ulsh of the Oakland National Engrav- ing Company, who talked on photo-engraving. Miss Kathryn Daly was journalism instruc- tor.

O. L. Club, which is the largest girls’ social club in the school, are again watching the term end, leaving behind warm and exciting memories, yet already look- ing ahead to next term. The Spring term is the most active time of the year and includes at least one all-day pic- nic. This year the picnic took place on April 26, the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Girl Reserves. Also marking this event was a trip to the Stanford Chapel to attend a G. R. Vesper Service. The first party was the reception party. This party honored the 30 new members of the club. Later events were the Valentine party and a series of talks on personality. The annual Senior Banquet was held May 14. At this ban- quet eight seniors were honored. They included Krla Creason, last term’s president; Patty Spurr, present president; and Catherine Pou- los, Francis Margorati, Etta Lee Perry, Laura Jackson, and Mary Hart. All activities were supervised by the three club sponsors, Mrs. Lowe, Miss Parker, and Miss Carlson. Ces Camera Club... THe CAMERA Cus had a very active term un- der the capable leadership of their president, Richard Johnsen, and the able direction of Mr. Bush, faculty adviser. Richard Johnsen was assisted by Jim Toms, vice-president, and Flor- ece White, secretary-treasurer, in carrying out the program during the year. Field trips were made to Fishermen’s Wharf and to the U. C. Campus. After each trip con- tests were held by the club and prizes were awarded to persons taking the best pictures. Several pieces of equipment were added to the darkroom during the term by the club. Demonstrations were given by the students and Mr. Bush on different phases of darkroom work at each meeting. The Camera Club took its own Shield picture as one of its activities. The club had its semi-annual party at the last meeting at which time the prizes for the last contest were awarded. Winners of the pre- vious contest were as follows: Ken Nelson, first prize; Richard Johnsen, second prize; and James Cahoon, third prize. Members not shown in the picture are: Ken Nelson, Ross Chamberlain, Rudolph Nunez, John Enright, Bill Hricz, and Annette Kaplan. “And did you hear the one about COM, First Row (left to right) : Effie Gay Wilson Secretary Patty Spurr President Claira Nordin Vice-President Back Row: Doris Myers Class Representative Evelyne Pederson Class Representative Joyce Alveraz Class Representative Barbara Hyland Social Chairman CAMERA CLUB Back Row (left to right) : Richard Johnsen {r.

THIS SEMESTER the Archery Club chose to be called the Targeteers. The group has been under the leadership of Miss McLaurin. Dean Wood has served as president, and Eleanor Nelson as secre- tary and treasurer. The Targeteers held several successful meets and were represented in a tournament held by the Greenwood Archers. Chess Club... THE CueEss Cius, under the direction of Mr. Selleck, met every Thursday evening for two hours. First they had their business meeting, then played Chess for the remainder of the time. Club members are as follows: Earl Terry, president; Clifton Wignall, secretary; Lyman Ing- raham, reporter; and Robert Cox, George Zauher, Lorin Fowler, Paul Lyon, Robert McCullough.

The Maintenance Committee was established to see that Richmond High is kept neat and clean. The goal of this committee has always been to make our school pleasing to the eye of any stranger.

Under the direction of Harold Cunningham, the choir appeared before many organizations, clubs, and lodges. The choir has a present mem- bership of thirty-eight. These voices are arranged so that all sections have the careful balance necessary for good music. This term the choir appeared for such pro- grams as the American Legion Variety Show, the Palm Sunday service of the North Brae Community Church, the Easter Sunrise Serv- ice, and the Public Schools Week Program. A joint concert was given by the choir and the orchestra before an Assembly and repeat- ed in the Roosevelt Junior High School audi- torium. An Easter noon concert was presented on the Friday before Easter vacation. The main event of the choir’s term is always the concert which climaxes the semester. This time it was given in the high school auditorium on the twenty-fifth of May. Several specialty numbers were included besides groups of Negro spirituals, Latin numbers, and patriotic numbers. The reason that these programs were such a success is not only the able direction of Mr. Cunningham, but is also the fact that the mem- bers are learning to be critical of good and bad music. Bane. «. THE BIG band news of the past semester was the change of the band period from first to eighth period. Despite the disadvantage of many old members’ not being able to take band because of conflicting eighth period sports, the change has proved to have many advantages. The most important of these advantages is that bands- men do not have to be given blue slips to get out of eighth period to play for after-school activities. Although the value of the change may not be realized this semester, band mem- bers believe that it will be appreciated next semester during football season. Credit should be given to those loyal musi- cians who served in both orchestra and band. These include: Cecil Olson, Wesley Olson, Jean Poole, Richard Rihn, Richard Boede, Kathryn Swearingen, Paul Maerklen, Bob Claar, and Caroline Bianco. Orchestra... THE OUTSTANDING feature of the term’s work was the orchestra and choir combined concerts. The most important joint concert was given April 25 and was so successful that other public performances may be given next term. The orchestra also appeared in a Variety Show and various other Student Association programs. In February a small group from the orchestra contributed to the success of the Rice Bowl Party held at the Chung Mei Home in El Cerrito. The R. U. H. S. Orchestra was particularly honored when it was chosen to play several selections for the County Teachers’ Institute held on May 9. This term the orchestra boasted fifty-one musicians, who were greatly aided by the Richmond High Music Boosters’ Club, which was organized last year for the welfare of the band and orchestra.

Stagecraft ae HARD AT WORK all term were Bruno Bian- chini, Priscilla Madrid, Thelma Berg, Dick Sindisich, and Norman Walters. This small and compact class under the supervision of Mrs. James was responsible for all the stage settings, costumes, lighting, and make-up for all our plays you liked so much this term. Surely you remember the orchestra con- cert’s sparkling silver note high on a pedes- tal with colors played on it to match the music’s moods? And that ship-shape nauti- cal scene for the Student Body Revue. And that set-up for the senior play? Then there were the Girls’ League programs and that glorious patriotic stage set for the gradua- tion ceremony. These are all the work of inspired Mrs. James and her energetic class. HO NOR: Sa aso June 41 marks the twentieth anniversary of the Honor Society, for it was inaugurated at Rich- mond Union High School in 1921. Officers of the Honor Society for the first quarter of the Spring Term were: Thelma Berg, president; Dan Winegar, vice-president; John Enright, secretary-treasurer ; and Norma Jenks, as social chairman. Presiding officers of the second quarter of the term were: Bessie Barbikas, president; Eleanor Nelson, secretary-treasurer; and Florence Boucher, social chairman. Dan Winegar remained as vice-president of the society. Platinum pin holders in the Honor Society include: Barbara Carling, Doris Clinger, Betty Jones, Uldine Peterson, Paul Stark, Bessie Barbikas, Thelma Berg, Francis Enright, Evelyn Howard, Jack Hubner, Eleanor Nelson, Gloria Perrero, Manuel Rose, Pearl Vitali, and Lurline White. Miss Nunn served as adviser. Library Girls... ORGANIZED IN 1928, the Library Girls’ group performs an important service for Rich- mond High. Before school and during each period of the day, one of the members may be found in Room 14, assisting Miss Reeve, our librarian. Heading this group for this semester were President, Mary Fernandez; Vice-President, June Haight; Secretary, Florence Lamanna; and Social Chairman, Muriel Creason. Others in the organization are Lorraine Richards, Vivian Holdsworth, Virginia Co- vey, Elaine Dale, Shirley Harvey, and Paul Stark, who letters the books.

Tue Aims of the Winged “R” Society are best expressed in the preamble to its constitution: “.. to form a better organization, provide more activities, and promote closer friendships between the members . . .” Living up to their preamble, the members presented varied bills of entertainment; two pot-luck suppers, a Valentine party for the 1-10 G.

WE WERE HERE WAY BACK WHEN... ALL THE kids were sporting new Christmas outfits the day school opened on January 6. Yes, that month was a very eventful one; of course, there was the annual Big-Little Sister party and the presentation of awards to the honor students. Besides all that, regular school routine was broken up to some extent when Hal Burdick of the Cardinet Candy Company en- tertained us with a swell speech at one of the assemblies ... Uno... good advertising! During that month of February when Friend Cupid rears his pretty head, society began to give everyone a whirling good time. The teach- ers gave a tea honoring the sopohomores’ mothers; the Boy Scout Camp resounded to the sounds of the Honor Society having a good time; and Betty really did her bit for the Stu- dent Body when she presented a movie and a dance. Naturally, we wouldn’t dream of for- getting the way Mr. Selleck shot the wrong goal at the Varsity-Faculty basketball game! There were two grand entertainments during March; namely, the Orchestra Concert and that stupendous Student Association Variety Show. The twenty-fourth marked that awful day when we had to show the results of a quarter’s work to mama and papa. They say that every dog has his day, and the Grads enjoyed theirs on April third. We all hailed President “Walphie” and laughed at Hitler’s antics, and then relaxed during the week of the seventh to await the arrival of the Easter Bunny. Ye Olde Union marked the place of the two socials; namely, the colossal 1-12 Party, and that stuffed-shirt affair, the Junior- Senior Tea. Imagine playing cops ’n robbers at our age! . . . well, close to it anyway, with the play entitled “The Man in the Bowler Hat.” Thanksgiving (our Thanksgiving for having such individuals as teachers around) fell on May ninth, with County Institute and our holi- day; all the guys and gals went out and literal- ly broiled in the sun at the local plunge. The Winged Shield, the L. O. L. Club, and the Grads didn’t go hungry that month; all the banquets were a real success. The Spring Con- cert presented by the A Cappella Choir was really tip-top! By the way, we’ll certainly have some good student body officers this next term judging from the pep talks (you know, “vote for me and blah blah blah!? .. .”) that we heard on the twenty-sixth. ‘Pon my word! June is really here! That month of weddings and such romantic goin’s on, when all of us are thankful that we bought one of these y’ar books (plug). Guess all the grads are wondering why they did such a hard three years’ work for that measly slip of paper popularly termed a diploma. Now it’s time to close the doors of Richmond for a long-looked- forward-to vacation. So, be seein’ ya!

Tue Ricumonp Hicu’s B’s, along with their new coach, Bill Outman, fought their way to an A. C. A. L. co-championship. They went through their practice season winning seven out of their eight games. The B’s started the league by walloping Al- bany 39-24. For their next encounter they traveled to Alameda, where they outshot the Hornets by one bucket, making the final score 18-16. Night ball didn’t seem to bother the B’s as they trounced Hayward in an evening game, 25-13. Piedmont was the first league member to stop the Oilers, 20-16. Still sore from defeat our B’s fell before a very strong Berkeley quintet. After nursing the wounds administered to them by Piedmont and Berkeley, the Oilers walked over Albany to begin the second round. The meeting with Alameda wasn’t as close as the first, as the Oilers tallied 24 to the Hornets’ 13. The Hayward Farmers were the next to fall under the Richmond barrage, 28-16. Revenge was sweet; the Oilers were rolling; even Pied- mont couldn’t stop them. The score was 30-27. Then came the season’s last league game. If Richmond and Piedmont had lost that day, there would have been a three-way tie for first. If Richmond had lost and Piedmont had won, the Highlanders would have had an undisputed title. As it was, Piedmont took Ala- meda while the Oilers trounced the Berkeley Jackets to tie the Clan for the A. C. A. L. championship. John De Fabio was elected captain of the squad to wind up an excellent season. Varsity Basketball... History 1s MADE! This year the Richmond High Varsity Basketball team went through the best season in the history of R. U. H. S. After defeating every team in the league at least once, the Oilers came out with a tie for first place with the Alameda Hornets. The Oil- ers met with only two defeats. Credit should go to the boys who brought this honor to our school. First, there is Captain Carl Mayers who led the team and league in scoring and also made a new scoring record for the league, scoring 134 points. Then we go to the center who came next in scoring with 104 points. This “six footer” played very good ball and was always a threat; we refer, of course, to Andy Wolfe. Next is the smallest man on the team who is Frankie Ditora with 46 points. Shifting to the guards we have first, Al Mazzi, who was the fastest man on the squad and could really sink those long shots, scoring 17 points at his guard position. Harold Crisler was next with 16 points. Cris, as he was called by his teammates, was one of the best defensive guards in the league and about the tallest man in the league. Dale Lee is our next star, a real leader out on the floor, for he played with all his offensive ability and was also a very good defensive guard. Dale totaled 68 points. The other players who scored were Jim Torvik, with 6 points; Gene Pleau, with 2 points; and Lee Johnson, with 1. The other members of the squad to whom credit is due are: Lou Fara, Steve Pleich, Bob Hamilton, Ross Radick, Douglas Hukkanen, Curtis Peterson, and Wayne Wanless. OILER-COUGAR JUNIOR BATTLE Baseball... Tue RicHMonp High Baseball squad went through their practice season with a .600 per- centage. They played their first game with Vallejo before they had had one day of prac- tice. They won this game by a score of 10 to 9. For the next encounter, the Oilers traveled to Emeryville where they dumped the Emery- ville boys to the tune of 16 to 5. Mission High of San Francisco was the first nine to stop the Oilers, the score being 11 to 2. The navy yard boys of Vallejo then came to Richmond to be trounced 16 to 1. Next, the Oilers lost a close game to Saint Mary’s Frosh, 2 to 3. Of the en- suing five games, the Oilers took 3 and dropped 2, three of their encounters being cancelled by rain. The Oilers’ hopes were high as the League season began. However, in the first encounter with Alameda, the defending A. C. A. L. Champs, the Oilers were defeated 7 to 13. The Albany Cougars were the next to down our boys 2 to 3. The Oilers dropped to the cellar when they lost to both Hayward and Berkeley. By this time one could see that the Richmond High squad closely resembled the local Pa- cific Coast team; they were getting hits but no runs. A 7 to 2 upset over the Alameda Hornets started off the second half of the League with a bang. This defeat of the League leaders again raised the Oilers’ hopes until they were downed BASEBALL COACH, BILL OUTMAN by Albany, 3 to 1, and turned back by the Ber- keley Jackets, 2 to 1. The Oilers closed the League by striking back at the Hayward Farm- ers and defeating them 11 to 5. Once during the season the Oilers traveled to the U. C. campus, where they met a very strong Cal Frosh team. The Richmond boys grouped their hits to defeat the College boys 4, to 3. Thus another baseball season is closed with the Oilers winning 6 out of 10 practice games and 2 out of 8 League games. Although the results look bad, the games were all heart- breakers and provided anyone who attended with all the thrills he wanted. BASEBALL Voss. ga. vich, Gundry.

Tue RicHmMonp Union High School Track team, under the coaching of Phil Hempler, en- joyed another successful season, winning 6 out of 8 practice meets plus a handsome trophy for their second place in the Martinez relays. In the opener of the season, Richmond played host to a strong Lowell team losing 66 to 35. The next week the Oilers entertained Mt. Diab- lo with the local boys walking off with the meet by a score of 99 to 14. On March 21 the Oilers met Polytechnic High School from San Francisco and again the Navy Blue and Red emerged on the long end of an 82 to 27 score. In a meet with Alameda and Albany, Rich- mond emerged victorious with 61% points to Alameda’s 39 and Albany’s 2014. The strength of this year’s Richmond aggregation can best be judged by their meet with Hayward. The Oilers dropped a close decision to this year’s North Coast Section Champions by a score of 56 to 52. In one of the most exciting meets of the year Richmond nosed out Berkeley on their home grounds by a two point margin. The score was Richmond, 5714, Berkeley, 5514. In a three-way meet between Berkeley, Vallejo, and Richmond, held at Vallejo on April 24, Richmond again demonstrated its team strength with a decisive win, scoring 6814 points. Vallejo was second with 381% points, and Berkeley was third with 341. The Alumni gave the school boys a hard time on May 8 but the youngsters came through in the closest meet of the year, winning by 1 point; Rich- mond 57, Alumni 56. In the finals of the A. C. A. L. Richmond placed third behind Piedmont and Hayward with 42 and 41 points respectively. In the North Coast meet Richmond scored 614 points for seventh position. In the State Meet Brashear’s third in the Shot and Cannon’s fifth in the High Jump scored a total of 4 points. Turner Brashear’s performances in the Shot and Discus were the outstanding features of the season. Tiny established a new A. C. A. L. rec- ord for the Shot Put with a heave of 52 feet 2 inches, beating the previous record made in 1930 by 2 feet 114 inches. His marks of 52’ 8” in the Alumni meet and 147’ 2” in the Alame- da-Albany meet set new school records in both events. The team chose Ernest Simone, Richmond’s number one sprinter, and Turner Brashear co- captains for the 1941 season. In the top left hand corner we see Floyd Cushman clearing the bar in the pole vault . . . next are Ezio Tognetti, 440, and Ernest Simone, 220 and 100 yard dashes . . . Cecil Olsen and Harrison Hanlon are the milers in the lower left hand corner . . . that’s John Smrekar and Douglas Fong taking the hurdles . . . and the lad with the shot put is none other than Turner Brashear. Glass“ Frackss. THIs YEAR the Oiler C’s showed a marked in- crease of interest in their respective events. Competing in conjunction with the varsity, the lightweights had an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience for future use on the Oiler Varsity team. The opening of the season saw the Oiler C’s meeting the strong Lowell aggregation. Lowell emerged the victor by 53 points; Richmond pulled through with 15 points. The following meet saw the local boys somewhat improved, losing to Concord by 8 points, Concord having 42, Richmond a hard-earned 34. One week later Polytechnic came across the bay to upset Rich- mond to the tune of 4614 to 3014. The first meet of April was a big event for the good old C’s, for they came out on top with 39 points against Alameda’s and Albany’s 30% and 261% points. The C’s took first in three events, Blower high jumping 5 feet 4 in., Feudner coming in first in the 440, and Sulli- van in the shot. Torvick and Traverso followed Sullivan up in this event. Hayward met Rich- mond on the local oval April 18 with our school chalking up 29 points against Hay- ward’s 34. One sunny afternoon in Berkeley, R. U. H.S. won a victory over Berkeley High, the C’s earn- ing 38 points as compared with Berkeley’s 35. Next on the official program was the Vallejo, Berkeley, Richmond meet at Vallejo. Vallejo High trounced their opponents by 41 2 3 against 3 1 3, and 24, respectively. May 6 saw the Oiler C’s coming in fourth in the A. C. A . L. The point earners in this meet were Sullivan, a first in the 8 pound shot; Blower, who tied for first in the high jump; Lown, fourth in the broad jump; Percy, a fourth in the 120 yd. low hurdles; Torvick, a fourth in the shot. In the last meet of the season, the North Coast Meet at Edwards Field, Leonard Sullivan, competing against a large field of shot putters, took a fourth.

L. this year, and was able to get only three matches. In the first match with Crockett, Rich- mond won 6-0. This was better than ex- pected, as all the Richmond players were inexperienced in tournament play. Valle- jo won by a score of 4-1 on their home courts. The last match was with San Ra- fael. Although Richmond lost by 8-1, all the sets were close and the boys enjoyed the trip very much. TENNIS TEAM (left to right)—Front Row: Paul Mello, Harvey Doron, Fred Andrews, and Douglas Hukkanen.

MANAGERS BEHIND THE scene of the work of our teams this season is a group of boys who work as hard for the benefit of our school as do the members of the school’s teams. These boys are not the teams themselves; their main occupation is caring for the teams. Their many duties are to care for the teams’ equipment and to do many chores that the teams want done. These boys are under the supervision of Mr. Hempler, who sees that everything is going smoothly. The managers are at every game that our teams play. These boys are all working toward a goal. When they reach this in their senior year they will get a Block “R” for their work. These boys became managers because for some reason they cannot be on the teams and yet want to work actively for school athletics. G. A. A. BASKETBALL WAS the first sport of the spring season. The 2-11 A group defeated the 2-11 B’s, thus winning their chenille numerals, Ape The 1-1]1’s won their felt numerals by de- feating 2-10 A group. The winners of both groups received their awards at an April Fools’ Party. Those receiv- ing awards were: Dorothy Kennedy, Evelyn Tessneer, Barb ara Hyland, Jean McTaggart, Frances Poulos, Yvonne Miller, Carrie France, Jean Clark, June Simpson, Barbara Tobey, Evelyn Pederson, Margaret Egli, Kathryn Swearingen, and Sachika Honda. Baseball, archery, and badminton were the sports of the second quarter. Final awards and pins were presented at the G. A. A. Banquet, May 29, in the Cafeteria. This occasion was a farewell to the seniors, and some of the alum- nae returned, adding to the interest of the gathering. The week-end of May 16 included the annual Senior overnight trip to Hunt Cottage in Mill Valley and the trip to Stinson Beach at Lafalot Cottage. There the girls enjoyed surf swim- ming, hikes, “eats,” jokes, and games. There were three playdays this term. April 19, twenty-five girls went to the County Play- day. On Federation Playday at University High, the girls carried out the Dude Ranch idea. Ten of our girls participated. Saturday, March 29, the Women’s Athletic Association of the University of California on the University Campus put on an exhibition of sports for the East Bay High Schools. After- ward there was pleasure swimming for the girls. Luncheon was served at the International House. Angi Poloni completed a very successful term as president. Emma Musso was secretary.

VOLUME 1%. FRITURDAY, JUNE 32, 1951. NUMBER 16%. BLANK URGES THAT DeFABIO BE ERASED A drive to eliminate reckless driv- ing from the streets was announced in a city council meeting held last night in the city pool room by Francis Blank, mayor of Richmond. According to Mayor Blank, the most violent cases of reckless driving can be charged up to the “Yow] Cab” company, city jitney service. Its own- er, John DeFabio, cigar smoking little Caesar of the south side, has been warned time and again, but with no effect. Blank proposed that the city hire Eddie Banducci, boss of the north side, to rub out DeFabio and the Yowl Cab company. With the mayor’s proposal of eras- ing DeFablo out, Clara Anderson, woman council member, jumped to her feet and cried, “Shame, shame, Mayor Blank. Are you not human?” With this outburst, Miss Anderson proposed that the council ask Police Chief Jack Bromley to evict the mob- sters. Since Bromley was out of town, Ruth Atwood, his secretary, repre- sented him. In a direct appeal to the council Miss Atwood begged that the police force be given guns that shot something better than corks. (The city bought the present supply of arms from Solon Evans, and the guns are reported to have survived the Civil War.) Councilman Otey Cannon thought that since the original question dealt with the “Yowl Cab Co.” the mayor should get back on the right track. Blank then asked that the gangleader, DeFabio, be brought before the coun- cil. DeFabio arrived in a large black limousine driven by Richard Caskey, former race driver. Surrounded by such notables as Mugsy Orrin Dahl, Lefty Braga, and his private secre- tary, Eileen Cunan, DeFabio came into the council chambers. Asked if he knew a solution to the taxi problem, John said that after thinking the matter over seriously he believed that he will install a chap- eron in every cab and that should cut down the speed and fatalities. Pearl Economy, former woman wres- tler, will head DeFabio’s newly or- ganized chaperons. Chaperons will include the follow- ing notables of the boxing and wres- tling world: Margaret Fitzgibbons, Trene Humphrey, Elaine Scanlan, and Patty Spurr. Other women employed included the following gal nite-club bouncers: Mary Hart, Frances Ma- zorati, Laura Jackson and Etta Lee Perry. Such a measure, DeFabio stated, should remedy the present sit- uation of reckless driving. SENATOR HILL IN EDUCATION ATTACK WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13.— Senator Ralph Hill, (Communist- Calif.) , proposed today in the Senate that he, Hill, favored a bill to elim- inate unnecessary work in public schools. Reading a petition signed by such prominent people as: Robert Bolt, horse doctor; Lucy Fasanaro, opera soloist; Marvin Elston, old time resident of Sing Sing; and Forrest Marr, author of “Muscle Builder,” a health book, Senator Hill stated that such noted names should have some effect on the bill’s acceptance. At the utterance of these words by Hill, Senator Albert Mazzi, garbagemen’s choice for senator, leaped to the floor and stated that he would oppose such a move by Hill. Citing incidents in his own life;-Mazzi declared that edu- cation and hard, intense study made him what he is today. Mazzi also had his name list to read consisting of people who had made good with in- tensive study. Such names as Merl Kerns, U. S. glamour boy; James Gall, noted tramp lecturer; Earl Kel- leghan, worn-out ball player; and Norma Myers, congresswoman from Oklahoma, were read by Mazzi in his denunciation of the senator from Cali- fornia. Mazzi, violent talker that he is, was still filibustering as Congress adjourned for the day. Congressional leaders Fay Hawkins and Richard Maxwell stated that they believed Congress would have to forget about adjournment this year if Hill and Mazzi did not make up. The new summer resort near beau- tiful Blake Bros. Quarry was opened Sunday and the result was a huge crowd. Among those at the opening ceremonies were Jacqueline Abbott, local debutante from up Arlington Way, and Josephine Albert, heiress to the Albert millions. To make the affair complete, a bottle of milk was smashed over the head of Earl Terry who was held rigid by Harlie Tigert, beach bouncer. Virginia Van Preat had the honor of handling the bottle in the ceremony. The women life guards, Margaret Turner, Mary Treas, Iris Thurman, and Phyllis Thomas were kept busy throughout the day. The first mishap occured when Lurline White and LaVera Taylor, noted distance swimmers, were caught in the treacherous under- tow. Mary Anderson and Bessie Bar- bikas, sight-seers on the S.S. Suzy Q, a Mills College excursion boat, seeing their friends in distress, jumped in and soon had the situation well in hand. FOX MOB IN BANK STICK-UP In a daring daylight robbery which netted the bandit gang a cool $2.98, the Last National Bank was held up and robbed this afternoon in one of the most successful robberies at- tempted in this city. The robbery gang has been suc- cessfully identified as the “Singing Willy” Fox mob, and is wanted in this city for a similar charge con- cerning the kidnapping for fabulous ransom money of Warren Lemley, wealthy hog rancher of the Hercules district. Identified as the driver of the robbery car was Glenda Hiner, beautiful finger girl for the mob. Promptly at 2:17, when the bank closed for the afternoon siesta, the “Singing Willy” mob rushed in an overpowered the employees with a menacing air gun. Assisting “Willy” in the holdup were such county fa- mous trigger men as “Dead Eye Carl” Mayers, Tiny “Tommy Gun” Bra- shear, Mugsy Ervin Martin, and “Blonde” Katheryne Lile, wife of “Singing Willy.” Donald Kolstad, domineering bank president, is still in the local hospital recovering from a case of nervous shock. In a recent statement to the press Kolstad said: “In all of my ten- der years this “Singing Willy” mob is the most ruthless mob I’ve ever had to contend with. But I must add that the gal at the wheel wasn’t so bad.” He was referring to Glenda Hiner. Completely overcome by the hand- some countenances of “Singing Wil- ly” and his mob, women workers of the bank, Ethel Fio, Mary Myers, Edith Lico, and Myrtle Brown have gone completely insane for the oppor- tunity to see “some handsome men” again. Police of the entire city are on the watch for the bandits and according to local junior G-Men, under the un- capable leadership of Jack Germaine, the culprits will be behind bars and the loot recovered. HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.—In Grau- man’s Chinese Theatre last night Hollywood presented its latest epic “Belittled in Bombay,” starring Lane Allen as Ahmmed Taboo, a romantic Indian hero. Sharing honors with him was his leading lady, Bette Alveras, who portrayed the role of ‘Shanghai Lil.” The premiere was graced by many Hollywood notables. Director Harley Carter was one of the first to reach the theatre; with his bag of peanuts, and two secretaries, Miriam Dietrich, and Marilyn Bradbury, he headed straight for the gallery. JUNE 32, 1951. THE RECKLESS HERALD PAGE TWO. ROSE HIRED IN HOWARD SUIT TRIAL Manuel Rose, brilliant youthful at- torney of San Pablo, is currently in the service of Evelyn Howard, brun- ette songstress of a down town ham- burger establishment, in directing a suit against its owner, Donald Q. Rouse, voted in his senior year as the man most likely to succeed. Rouse is charged with withholding Miss How- ard’s salary from her and drastically reducing it (and Miss Howard). Lodged in the city prison, Rouse still emphatically denies he refused payment to the plaintiff. However, Marvin Rodrigues, aged jailer, com- mented that Rouse counts his debts during his sleep and gloats over the fact that he will never pay the “suckers” back. Rose has secured definite informa- tion, he has stated, from various per- sons that Rouse is really a black vil- Jain. Joe Schifferle, hash slinger at the hamburger house, told members of the jury today that Rouse owes him two years’ back pay; Ed Hall, handsome waiter of the same estab- lishment, declined to give the police information because the man feared for his life if he “spilt the beans” about his boss. Ernest Simone, presiding judge, stated to the press that he believed the trial would not last more than several days, but Simone declined to say which way he had his money — guilty or not guilty. Jurymen for this trial include the following: Newell Rickard, promi- nent scholar and mathematician; Steve Bebich, owner of a down town chop house; Vernlette Goodrich, prominent in the Fuller Brush busi- ness; and Frank Scott, leader of a new faction to do away with painted houses for brick ones. Latest reports from George Duke- shire’s bookie headquarters indicate that betting on the trial still was 10 to 1 for conviction. PINOLE, June 13.—Pinole moving picture studios are preparing to be- gin work on their newest film epic; namely, the much talked of book “The Saga of Pinole.” In the title role,as announced by Wilfred O’Neill, producer of Pinole Pictures, Inc., will be the belle and first daughter of Pinole, Miss Catherine Smith. Supporting Miss Smith in the pic- ture will be the following cast: Jack Hubner, as Jet Butler; LeRoy Gra- ham, Ghastly Wilts; Gladys Brashear as Smelanie and hosts of others. Jackson Dennis, director of the production, stated to the press today that any similarity to a similar pic- ture of the few years back is purely intentional. According to Francis (Will Hays) Enright the picture will be passed, but any slight upon the character of Pinole will be cut from the film. VASSAR IN SUMMER FETE VASSAR COLLEGE, New York.— At the summer festival at Vassar Col- lege held recently individual and group dances were held on the beau- tiful grounds surrounding the college. The dance of the Nymphs was skil- fully executed by Mary Bernavich, Norma Bernacchi, Harriet Bignall, and June Bonacorso. Dean Robert Cuthbertson, noted scholar and professor, holder of an A.B., an M.D., a P.H.D., and a girl on each knee, gave an inspiring lec- ture on merits of summer vacations. Dorothy Capps, Lenora Barndollar and Mary Baughman then sang a popular ditty, accompanied by Ger- aldine Brown. The selection was “I’m Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage.” The College Ballet Girls were next, bringing forth the dance of the Sigh- ing Swan. Those participating were Dorothy Card, Pauline Carrera, Mary Esther Brown, Wilma Burghart, Elea- nor Cacciola , and Evelyn Pierce. The last dance on the program was an Adagio Dance by Luella Coulter and Mildred Craig. The rest of the afternoon was spent in contests; Mildred DeLaney and Myrtle Edwards proved their worth by winning prizes in hog calling. The tree climbing contest proved to be the most exciting of the day, with Julia Felton, defending champion, being beaten by both Mary Fernandes and Bertha Fessenden. This being the last event of the day, Hilda Cima, instructor, dismissed the girls.

TOGNETTI WINS HALF MILE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.— Ezio Tognetti, world champion half- miler, last night retained his title against a field of strong contenders. Madison Square leaped to its feet as “Twinkle Toes” Tognetti completed the course in record breaking time. Bruno Bianchini took an early lead but after 10 yards the ambulance was called to get the body. Frank Car- maginola, third, was closely followed by Milton Coudyser, Rex Cox, and Alfonso Diaz.

LOCAL GROUP STAGES BRIDGE BATTLE OF AGES Headed by Dick Cole and Keith Pennebaker, trainers, the local branch “Old Men’s Home” will travel to San Pablo tomorrow to meet the female branch of the organization in a rough and tumble game of bridge. Card sharps from the San Pablo home will include the following slick paper fiends: Glo Perrero, leader and president; Helen Greenlees, Ruth and Pauline Pratt, Susan Locke, Marjorie Howell, Mary Gandola, and Edythe Nee. According to Perrero and her gang of “elderly- young ladies,” they will surpass the “decrepit old horses” from the me- tropolis of Richmond. Boasting a combination that can’t be beat, Pennebaker and Cole listed the following “young men”: Jack Thompson and Sparky Allyn, ex-mob- sters and current leaders of the men; Jim Bennett, Victor Ciabattari, George Wilson, Donald Holland, George McCafferty, Maylo Navarro, and Albert Rios. Acting as water boy for the group is Guadalupe Ramirez, who will serve the gentlemen their fa- vorite refreshment, pink lemonade. Attending physician for any unfortu- nate oldster who may not survive the crucial contest will be James Neel, former El Cerrito lad. He will be as- sisted by interne Lenny Pytel. Tickets for the fray may be purchased from to two trainers for the trivial sum of $1.98. Headed by Noel Wilson, noted fe- male journalist, women of the city of Richmond will march to Washing- ton to demand that the draft laws be done away with. According to Mary Williams, club vice-president, the members are be- ginning to feel the brunt of the blow of having all the available men being swept away from them into the army. A series of lectures to be presented in the near future include as speakers Betty Rogers, whose topic will be “How to Get a Man and Hold Him”; Pearl Vitali who will speak on the subject, “Once You Get a Man, What Next’; and Georgian Scroggins, “When You’re Tired of Them, How to Dump Them.” LOCAL MEN IN SAN QUENTIN RIOT Melee and turmoil broke loose at San Quentin Prison last night as Joe Davis and Ralph Uetz, former mob leaders and now lifers from Rich- mond (Little Chicago) slugged War- den Francis Fray. The riot started in the mess hall where it is asserted that Davis and Uetz were refused their customary imported caviar. After the slugging it was only seconds before pork and beans were rapidly flying through the air like hail. Don Hunt, Bud (Bertram) Ivancich, Carlos Juarez and Harrison Hanlan were the first to follow Davis in the slug fest; all four were passing the time beat- ing on the heads of three of the guards, John Pulos, Robert Ogdon, and Ernest Durand. Everything came to an abrupt halt in short time due to a well aimed tear bomb thrown by Les Olson, former baseball star. W. P. A.

PINOLE BERSERK OVER CURRENT CARNIVAL PINOLE, CALIF.—Zuriligen and Taliaferro Brothers’ Carnival last night made its appearance before the citizens of Pinole. The whole popu- lation was on hand to greet the brothers in person. A daring motor- cycle feat was performed by “Crash” Zauher. His motorcycle was made to travel around the vertical sides of the building with his two teammates, Ger- trude Wile s and Dorothy Wicker- sheim, seated on the rear. The feat seemed so daring to the Pinolians that many had to be carried out of the building. Those subdued were Doris Washabaugh, Leslie Wanlass, and Lucy Vasquez. Doctor Earl Terry soon had them back on their feet and they continued on their way. The wrestling matches also drew great crowds. Art Taylor, the terror from Schenectady, wrestled Merle Drew, a Pinole challenger. The bout was a bloody one and Referee An- tonia Cabral received a kick in the teeth. The shooting gallery presented a good deal of entertainment to the lo- cal hicks. Madeline Ferche, gallery proprietor, was on her toes through- out the day, soliciting business. Nor- ma Dewey and Thelma Berg, local sharpshooters, proved their skill by walking away with a doll apiece. Al- though Dorothy Porter tried valiant- ly, her efforts proved to be in vain. two weeks already, is preparing for an appearance before the demented Eskimos.
