The traditional Senior Party, under the management of Uldine Peterson, was held in the girls’ gym on October 3. The future of R. U. H. S. was portrayed by a hilarious comedy given on Senior Day, November 6. The semi-annual Senior Banquet, held December 11, in the cafeteria, was said to be the most successful affair of the term. Barbara Carling, general chairman of the event, was assisted by: Ken Nelson, arrangements; Vera Garcia, food; Esther Delgado, decorations; Elda Marello, program; Fred Kaphingst, cleanup. In student government and athletics, and in scholastic records, the class of January, 1942, by contributing its share of outstanding achievements, has helped R. U. H. 5. to maintain its high school rating. So, the new year will bring about the departure of another prominent Richmond High graduating class. The under-graduates of the R. U. H. 5. send loads of wishes for luck and success to each and every one of the graduates. ae EDITH NAYMER STEVE EWING JANE RUDE NORMAN LEVY JULIA LEGRAND JOHN ENRIGHT RUBY FARA RALPH HUMPHREY ELEANOR FERREIRA JUNE KUNKEL NORVAL PARKER JANE CLARK JOHN MURATORE JEANNE MARTIN FLOYD CUSHMAN NELLIE HUFFSTETTER FRANKLIN HARPER VIRGINIA IMBACH WALTON GOHL DORIS CLINGER EDWARD ODLING DOROTHY BROWN EVERETT YOUNG KATHRYN LINDOEFER SAVINO AVILA SHIRLEY BAKER JIM SHALLENBERGER BETTY CALFEE GORDON BOUGHTIN NELLIE BISIO CORRINE PLANT ADELE MYRHE SHIRLEY DEWSNUP FLORENCE LAMANNA CHARLES GRAVES GLORIA FILICE MARJORIE PHILLIPS ELDA MARELLO GEORGIA GILLAN VIOLET TOMKINSON MARY CONTRERAS VIVIAN TRAVIS DOLORES LAZARO ANGIE POLONI MILDRED McKENZIE BETTY HONSINGER JOHN MAPELLI GWENDOLYN GEBHARDT LOUIS FARA EDNA PETERSON PAUL MAERKLEN THELMA MESSINGER HARRY CURRY FLORENCE BOUCHER CLASS a= WILLIAM GAUMER LELIA OWENS JAMES O’HARA EMMA MUSSO GEORGE QUADROS DOROTHY FERCHE MARIO PEZZOLA NINO GARCIA McKINLEY MALBROUGH GRANT WILLEY PATRICIA MARTIN GUS KAPELIS LELA WINTHER JIM BALLANTYNE JENNIE MASLOV GEORGE NEEL DOROTHY; CRAPETEELO OLINTO SIRI “7 MARY ADDIEGO WILSON SCALISE BILLIE SCONYERS JULIUS SCHEPPLER JOAN ANGLIN ALBERT OLECH THEO POE HERMAN BROWN ULDINE PETERSON MARIE HERNANDEZ JOHN NICOL LOIS ROSENTRAUCH WILLIAM KOLAITES ESTHER DELGADO CLIFTON WIGNALL ELLA THURBON MIKE VERBISCIO LOUISE TAYLOR GENEVIEVE PUCCI FLORENCE LEE VIRGINIA COVEY MARGARET PRIOR ELIZABETH SHELTON ELIZABETH ANN HUGLEN JOY SCHNITZIUS ELEANOR BASSIGNANI MAE SILVIS LILLIAN VARAO BERNICE BROWN MARILYN FUGLESTAD AILEEN SULLINS NORMA JENKS THELMA MANNING ALICE ANTHONY MARGARET YOST GLADYS PEDERSON a TONY SCALISE CONSTANCE NOONAN JOHN BEGOVICH BETTY JONES SALVADOR CHAVEZ DELPHINA CASAZZA LESLIE OUTMAN VIOLA MURDO ROBERT ELLIS DONALD JOHNSON FLORENCE ROBERTI CHARLES SMITH LOIS CRIGLER ROBERT POTTS BETTY RAYNOLDS LARRY CHAPMAN BARBARA ABBEY EDWARD SEGER C L.A’ $2542 O80 BARBARA CARLING ALVIN POCEKAY BETTY BARKER HORACIO MORALES ISABEL CRIST LAWRENCE COVELL DOROTHY ADAMS WILLIAM GOELZ LOIS HOLDAWAY BETTY NIELSEN ROBERT OLSEN ALMA FALCIONI PAUL STARK JUNE CARLFIELD FRED KAPHINGST ANNIE DUCA FRANK PEARSON NORMA FENERAN MARJORIE EDWARDS WARREN WOOD VERA GARCIA LAWRENCE KRISTOVICH MARY KALCICH EDWARD MATTOS DOREEN PETTITTE LYNN MEWHA BETTIE PATRICK RUTH DURBIN ELMER KINDSTROM MARGARET BANDUCCI KENNARD NELSON ELAINE ROE GEORGE WALKER NORMA ANN CAUDLE FRANK PARELLA LOIS FAY OS eee GLASS ° OF JAN...1942 | ‘| { SE NLO Ro Dewy “Seeing is believing.” On Senior Day, the supposedly dignified Seniors were seen dashing madly about, dressed in clever, fantastic costumes. Stan (Ed Odling) Laurel was seen scratching his head and looking as dumb as possible. There were cowboys, fugitives, and twenty shapely “Rockettes.” Claiming highest honors for the day, the Senior play, “R. U. H. S. in 20,000 A. D.,” left the audience rolling in the aisles. The first act showed our library in 20,000 A. D. Everything was different! There was a library boy (John Enright), coke man (Louis Fara), paper girl (Ruby Fara), artist and model (Bob Ellis and Thelma Messinger). There was even a teacher! Ah, yes! Miss Zeldie Sleeve (Gloria Filice). The new “Sky Union” was premiered in the second act. ‘here was singing, dancing, and gaiety. The play was climaxed when the I. B. F. found Miss Sleeves’ long lost book (Esquire to you) !! Dressed to represent the “Little Teapot,” June Kunkel claimed the girls’ prize for the day, while Ken Nelson, attired like Harpo Marx, took honors for the boys in Senior costumes.

The outstanding events of the term’s entertain- ment were: A “Beat Piedmont” Rally, two Student Association Dances entitled “Beat Piedmont” and “Let’s Be Champs Again,” and a group of motion pictures presented to the Student Association mem- bers. In charge of the entertainment for this term was Thelma Messinger, Commissioner of Social Affairs. COMMISSIONERS—Seated: Thelma Messinger, Kathryn Swearingen, Lyman Ingraham, Marilyn Fuglestad. Standing: Louis Fara, Jim Ballantyne, Paul Stark, John Ormasa, Bob Moore, Betty Brewer. GIRLS’ LEAGUE The Girls’ League programs were held during the noon periods this term in place of the usual special advisory periods. De- spite this new schedule, the Girls’ League meetings were well received. The first program consisted of a talk on “Cosmetics and Hair Styles,” by Miss Lou- ise Jaurez. By special request, a second pro- gram was held featuring talent from the 1-10 Class. The Big-Little Sister Party, led by Pat Hollingsworth, vice-president, proved to be a beneficial enterprise. This year, the Girls’ League was spon- sored by Mrs. Davis and was headed by Norma Jenks, president.

BAND One of the largest bands in R. U. H. S. history made students proud at our football games with their : new field stunts and a combined band stunt-at the Piedmont game.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR The Richmond Union High School A Cappella Choir, well known throughout the bay area, was composed of 32 members this term. The object of the Choir is to sing various types and arrangements of unaccompanied music. To sing as well as possible for their own pleasure and for public appearances is the general aim of the choir members. The success they have enjoyed is due to their accom- plishment in music and to Mr. Cunningham’s able leadership. This season the group sang for the R. U. H. S. Student Body, the Thousand Oaks P.- T. A., the Contra Costa Development Association, the Lions and Rotary Clubs, Rich- mond City Women’s Club, the American Legion, the Memorial Day Program in Memo- rial Park, the Ladies’ Auxiliary of Foreign Wars, the Defense Program, the Graduation Exercises, the Annual Christmas Concert, and the San Jose Music Festival.

With a team that at the start of the season was potentially the strongest we have had in years, Richmond ended up in the cellar. This peculiar reversal of form can be attributed solely to bad breaks, most of them due to injuries. The Oilers opened the season auspiciously with a 19-0 win over Concord. Following this the team journeyed to Sacramento to lose to the valley’s strongest team, 12-6, in a game that could have gone either way. Oiler fans and players had their revenge on night playing the following week when a journey to San Rafael netted a 26-6 victory. The practice season ended with a “fluke” loss to Lowell, San Francisco champion, when an attempted Oiler place-kick was blocked and turned into a 6-0 win. The league opened against Piedmont, and once again an inspired Oiler varsity, out- playing the Scots, was defeated by a luckier Clan team. This seemed to seal the doom of a fighting Oiler varsity, for after this game, with seven of the original starting lineup missing because of injuries, the team let down to lose to Berkeley and Albany and tie with Alameda. The season came to a close with Richmond finally fighting back to down the Hayward Farmers, to tie for last place in the A. C. A. L. standings. Richmond’s season was not as bad as it may appear to be. Sacramento, after defeating the Oilers, went on to win the championship of the valley league. Lowell, showing very little against our team, had little trouble annexing the San Francisco championship. Piedmont, although out-gained and out-played by Richmond, went on to an undefeated season, and considers itself the strongest team in the State. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL The Richmond High junior varsity ended this season with two victories and one loss, in a season that was the shortest in years for the local team. Other games were sched- uled, but only three of the original five or six games planned ever reached the stage of competition. In its initial encounter the Richmond team was stopped by a hard-charging Berkeley eleven that has not lost a game in three years, the score being 6-0. After a first quarter fumble deep in Oiler territory which was turned into a score, the game settled down to a series of goal-line stands by the Yellowjackets, who were able to protect their six point lead. The junior varsity next played Alameda, and this game was highlighted by Mirante, Richmond back, who returned the opening kick-off to a touchdown. The Oilers won, 12-0. The final game was played against the Chung Mei Home, and the lighter Chinese boys were defeated 7-0 in a game in which the whole Oiler squad saw action. Other games, with Napa and Crockett, were never played. “ Bre” Line: Dick Mitchel, Jim Wilson, Mitchel Raffanelli, Louie Cavoretto. Roy Middleton, Glen Scott, Ed Carey.

Thursdays, the gym was open to all students who wished to use the equipment. Several playdays were held during the current season, including the Federation Playday at Alameda, a hockey demonstra- tion at Mills College, Hockey Day at Berke- ley High, and a Demonstration Playday at S.

SENIORS — IN 1945 The class that graduated back in January, 1942, seems to have made quite a name for itself in the various fields of business, labor, govern- ment, and our armed forces. In recording what had become of the class I found some very interesting things, some of which I will herein report to you. [ started looking up the records of the boys of the class and found, to my surprise, that Mike Verbiscio and Nino Garcia had opened up a shop in San Francisco in which they sold female lingerie to the sub-debs of the city. Gloria Filice, Delphina Casazza and Betty Hon- singer were in New York working for the Metropolitan Opera Company as janitresses. Thelma Messinger and Clifton Wignall had pooled their mutual resources and opened a home for wayward transients in Petaluma. The men of the class who were recently rewarded medals for conspicuous bravery as salesmen on bargain day were Olinto Siri and Horacio Morales. These two are now in the hospital recovering from wounds received on that fate- ful day. We learned yesterday that Theo Poe, Bettie Nielsen, Isabel Crist, and Betty Raynolds had joined the U. S. Army Tank Corps as hostesses, on the larger tanks. When word of this got around Jim Shallenberger and Ed Seger immediately volunteered their services in the Tank Corps. Solon Evans was rejected because of fallen arches. “Big Bill’ Kolaites and Walton “Gargantua” Gohl are still making football history for the New York Giants. The paper yesterday served notice that Norman Levy had taken Gus Kapelis in as a partner in his pawn shop. The pugilistic world has recently been honored with the services of Salvador Chavez, Edward Grant and Savino Avila, each of whom, in their Madison Square Garden debut, won a quick victory by a knockout. George Walker and Floyd Cushman have both recently been asked to collaborate on a revision of a New Webster Dictionary. Mary Addiego, Florence Lee, Eleanor Bas- signani and Margaret Prior have all been selected by Earl Carroll to join his roadshow this spring. Larry Chapman is sueing Fred Berthaud for deflamation of character. It seems that Fred called Larry by his right name (Lorimer) ! ! ! ! Judge Edward Mattos is presiding. In the teaching world we find that Ruth Durbin, Esther Delgado, Paul Maerklen, and Betty Jones all have excellent positions now in accredited East Bay schools. An eminent psychologist was in town yesterday, he was Donald Johnson, his mission was to pronounce Dorothy Crapetello and Lawrence Kristovich either sane or otherwise. The results were other- wise and the two are now in a beautiful home in Napa. Word has reached us that Uldine Peterson and Jane Clark are in the Orient trying to teach the poor little Chinese boys and girls right from wrong. The two are very happy there as they always wanted to be reformists. Margaret Yost, Elizabeth Shelton, Kathryn Lindoefer and Aileen Sullins took over their positions as street car conductresses today for the duration while the men are away. The new band that opened up at the Palace last night was under the direction of Tony Scalise, with Elaine Roe on the “gut bucket” and Norma Jenks on the “licorice stick.” Two well known sub-debs,. Mary Kalcich and Lois Holdaway, were there, escorted by Jim Ballantyne and John Muratore. Ralph Humphrey, Virginia Imbach, Guynn Jewett, Nellie Huffstetter, and Lois Crigler were recently accepted as part of New York’s “400.” They moved back East when the war broke out. Elizabeth Huglen and Bob Potts are commanding a great deal of applause these days in their comedy dance routine at the Eighth Street Opera House. Assistant Man- ager June Carlfield accredits the rise in attend- ance to these two. Barbara Abbey, Dorothy Adams and Marie Hernandez are very happy these days because of the business they are doing with their little fishing boat just outside the Golden Gate. They are especially pleased with the way the carp are running. Their sales manager, James Keenan, said that if the fish market went up much more they would all be millionaires before they knew it. Shirley Dewsnup, Annie Duca, Lois Fay, and Jeanne Martin were all happily situated as Red Cross nurses in Sakhalin, China. When they reached China they found that Elmer Kind- strom, McKinley Malbrough and Lynn Mewha were all flying for the Chinese Intercoastal Mail route. The president of the route, Paul Stark, admitted that times were trying because a euerilla band, led by Grant ‘Ming Toy” Willey, Was harrassing the flying route with airplanes made by the Curry Plane Co. in Los Angeles. The U. S. Marines, led by Sargent Carl Cald- well. are hot on the trail of the guerillas. Two marines, Warren Wood and Bill Goelz, were reported missing when the Marines passed through a small Chinese village of native girls. The story that is circulating around to the effect that there will be a shortage of silk stock- ings this year was disproved recently by Betty Calfee, manager for the local silk concern. Miss Calfee and her associates, Bernice Brown, Dor- othy Brown, Eleanor Ferreira and Marlyn Fuglestad, said that their silk worms were pro- ducing silk at a record rate despite the war. We received a report from the Canadian north woods the other day from three trappers living there who used to go to high school in Rich- mond.’ These three, Edward Odling, Robert Olsen and Frank Parella, said that the furs were coming in thick and fast and that they were rolling in the cash. Another report from the Klondike came in a few days ago, it was from Joan Anglin, the ‘Klondike Warbler.” She stated that the audiences were very responsive up there. Ruby Fara, Alma Falcioni and Vera Garcia were recently honored with the Pulitzcr Prize for their smash Broadway hit, “Three Girls On A Tomale.” Louis Fara has recently made known his intentions to run for Congress; assisting him in his campaign are Chaverlo Martinez, Jennie Maslov and Ralph Farrar. Emma Musso and Albert Olech are very satis- fied with their new location for their home for ill-treated dogs. The small town of Ipswitch, Neb., was recently made into a town for girls only. The girls who are running these newly established towns are: Mayor, Claire Mariola; Treasurer, Violet Tomkinson; Councilwomen, Joy Schnitz ius, Billie Sconyers, Edna Peterson, Gwendolyn Gebhart and Lelia Owens. Charlie Graves and Franklin Harper were recommended last night for their brilliant work in the Golden Gloves Tournament held in San Francisco. The seamstress union was called out on strike last week by the president of the union, Angy Poloni. Some of the girls who fought against the strike by sabotaging the sewing machines were Connie Noonan, Florence Lamanna, Louise Taylor and Corrine Plant. Florence Boucher, Nellie Bisio and Gordon Boughtin were the proud possessors of a new baby heifer on their circle ‘C” ranch in Long Whell, Texas. Boughtin claims he has been bothered by rustlers lately. He suspects that Wilson Scalise and Fred Kaphingst were mixed up in the deal. Sheriff Bob Robertson says he is hot on the trail. The townspeople of Bloody Gulch, near where the ranch is situated, are up in arms against the rustlers. Mayor and _ bar- tender Lawrence Covell admitted that he had a couple of the rustlers in the “cooler.” We found their names to be “Roarin’”’ Robert Ellis, “Jumpin’” John Enright and “Stabber” Steve Ewing. Two molls of the gang already in custody are “Maulin’” Marjorie Edwards and “Sure Shot” Shirley Baker. Richmond graduates are living up there now as they are engaged in the mining business. James O’Hara, Norval Parker, Mario Pezzola, Dellman Hall and Bill Gaumer are co-partners these days in the “Gold Bug Mine.” The miners are well fed due to the cooking ability of the cooks in the “Red Dust” eating hall. Head Cook Dolores Lazaro is ably assisted by Mar- garet Banducci, Betty Barker, Florence Bou- cher, and Norma Ann Caudle. The “Woolies Clothing Department” is run by a noted author- ity on warmth, Elda Marello. The “Zagfield Fol- lies” were recently honored with the acceptance of Doris Clinger, Dorothy Crapetello, Norma Feneran, Dorothy Ferche, Georgia Gillan, June Kunkel, and Patricia Martin. Adele Meyers and Viola Murdo were rejected from the chorus for failure to comply with the rules of not keeping late hours. The world of photography had quite a jolt yesterday with the announce- ment that Ken Nelson and his associate, John Nicol, were retiring from the business. The publishers of “Camera News,” Doreen Pettitte and Marjorie Phillips, were very disheartened when they heard the news. The world of journal- ism was known to be quite overjoyed when the news that four star reporters, Genevieve Pucci, Florence Roberti, Bob Robertson and Lois Rosenstrauch were trapped in the Siamese war zone. Red Cross managers, Jane Rude and Julius Scheppler, were anxiously awaiting news from the four. The last report we received was from the “Handy Andy Candy Shoppee” where the owner, Mae Silvis, reported a robbery. Norman “Fingers” Walters is on the suspected list, as are his two molls, Vivian Travis and Lillian Varao. | RICHMOND | COLLECTION | - 3 1143 00685 6265 For Reference Not to be taken from this room NT VUTIE EE 1143 00685 6265 CPGI ANAL GITIHS B.

TUCKER ee ee a Od eR enh) oa te EE CEASS a be eM | fd 5 SENIOR OFFICERS Dan Winegar, Harvey Johnson, LaVonne Anderson, Jeanne Mae Cole SENIOR ACHIEVEMENTS With the support of the graduating seniors and under the leadership of its able officers, Dan Winegar, president; Harvey Johnson, vice-president; La Vonne Ander- son, secretary, and Jeanne Cole, treasurer, the June Class of 1942 has accomplished things to look back on with pleasure. The Senior Party was held March 5, with Florence McVittie as general chairman. The theme was “Salute to Our Allies.” Senior Day was a great success as usual. Although an epidemic of measles and mumps took out many of the actors, and President Dan Winegar was out from a knee operati on, the play still went over in a big way, and was enjoyed by all. It was titled “As the Earth Turns” or “Nature in the Raw Is Seldom Mild.” The Senior class was well represented on the athletic field. In basketball it was Dale Lee, Andy Wolfe, and Harold Crisler, in baseball Peter Stark, and in track Mervin Proschold and Al Giannini. The semi-annual Senior Banquet was one of the many highlights of the graduating class and a very successful affair. The theme was “At the Seashore.” Decorations for the affair, held in the cafeteria, were small seashells with different sea fish on them. All the decorations were in pastel shades. On May 18 the Juniors entertained the Senior Girls in the Girls’ Gym with a fashion show under the direction of Miss Carlson. Punch and cake was served. As this 1942 term comes to an end, let us say that we hope the next graduating class will have as much success, fun and laughter during their term as we have in ours.

Silence reigns. What is it? What has quieted this clamoring crowd? Well, naturally, it’s the Senior Play, “Nature in the Raw Is Seldom Mild,” or “As the Earth Turns.” This colossal presentation was dreamed up by a committee of our most prominent students, Dan Winegar, Lyman Ingraham, Alfred Tonelli, Janet Matheson, Peggy Kro tz, and Harvey Johnson. This riotous play used for its setting that cave-man inhab- ited city, Pin-hole. The comedy of the year started off with a bang ... and a big one. When the curtain was raised, the audience witnessed a conference table at which representatives of various countries were seated. The United States was represented by Lee Harvell, England— John Bernabich, Russia—Bill Mello, Germany—AI Tonelli (who substituted for Andy Katten, who was bed-ridden with the measles), Japan—Richard Williams (another sub, for Robert McCullough), and China Don Spruner. After a short discussion, the Chinese representative suggested that civilization should return to cave-man days. Here is where the fun began. The flea-bitten city of Pin-hole was swarming with sorrowful specimens of cave- people, including Dale Lee, Gene Pleau, Jim Torvik, Don Hall, Andy Wolf-e, and Hal Crisler, plus their women, Pat Leake, Marjorie Neves, Kay Richardson and many other talented members of the Senior class. Freedom Jones, played by that bundle of muscles, Bob Moore, attempted to show these ignorant (and they weren’t acting) cave-people a new and different type of amusement. This amusement consisted of melodious war- blings by Myra Wallace and Lucille “Mae West” Floring. Other members of the talented cast were comedian Dick Rowley, singing star Carl Heinemann, twinkle-toes Richard Williams, and many others. Many clever, original costumes were sported that day of days for seniors. Stealing the spotlight for the day was Peggy Krotz, who was dressed in papers and tin plates to symbolize conservation for defense. Cecil Olson won the boys’ prize, outfitted in a home-made robot costume. The seniors spent the day dashing in and out (mostly out) of classes. Despite the rain and measles, the graduating class had its fun.

Betty Stark, commissioner of social affairs, made arrangements for a movie and a one-act play entitled “Clarence Is Loose.” She also appointed the chairman of the dance and noon concert committees. As the active dance chairman of the social affairs committee, Lenora Urquhart also had much to offer to the students of R. U. H. S. Lenora was responsible for the many student dances, among which were the Basketball Rally Dance, Valentine’s Day 1. Mrs. Clarke leads student congo line. 2. From one commissioner to another. 3. “All-out” for Victory. ee TRAFFIC COMMITTEE First row: Betty Boyd, LaVonne Anderson, Stella Mae Hilty, Jeanne McTaggart, June French. Second row: Bob Chapler.

Bone do A special assembly program played on April 28 featured this term’s work by the Richmond High Band, which was under the direction of Mr. Turner Brashear. The pro- gram presented patriotic numbers, its objective being to arouse spirit for the war effort and to sell war stamps. The band took part in the Senior Day program, opening the program with a march, to lead the seniors into the auditorium. The band also participated in a school basketball rally and aided in the Book Drive, which was sponsored by the Junior Red Cross in order to collect books for the soldiers at Letterman Hospital. On May 16 the term’s activities were concluded with the only marching perform- ance of the semester, a parade to help sponsor a drive for the sale of War Bonds. The parade was held in Albany.

OCR Gap rabies A special concert for the students of Richmond High, given during assembly on March 17, was the most impor tant program for the orchestra this term. The featured selection for the concert was “Chocolate Soldier,” by Oscar Strauss, and the whole ar- rangement was played for the first time at school. Mr. Turner Brashear, director of the orchestra, also led his group in “Any Bonds Today” and “White Cliffs of Dover,” two popular pieces specially arranged for the Richmond students by Mr. Brashear. “Any Bonds Today” featured sophomore Bob Leggett with his “hot-licks” on the trumpet and Richie Williams, syncopated rhythm artist on the drums. In addition to the special program, the orchestra performed for several other as- semblies and outside affairs. At school, music was pres ented to introduce the Lincoln’s Day program, while on March 1 a special group went to the Soroptimists Club meeting, and on March 12 a performance was given for the American Legion. This specially selected orchestra also gave a demonstration of public school’s music on May 8 when it performed for the Contra Costa County Teachers’ Institute.

Ee ONO Re Sere se May 5, 1942, marked the end of the Richmond Union High School Honor Society and at the same time marked the beginning of our school’s membership in a state-wide organization known as the California Scholarship Federation. It is the belief of the faculty and of the students that the C. S. F. will offer more opportunities for its honor members. Already, students have attended two C. S. F. con- ferences, one at Sequoia and one at Acalanes. Miss Gladys Nunn, who has sponsored the honor students in this school for the past three years, accompanied the members at both sessions. The official installation into the federation was made by Mrs. Pinger, the install- ing officer of the Berkeley C. S. F. Officers and then charter members were installed, after the charge had been accepted for the student body by Paul Lyon, student president. Before joining the C. S. F., awards were made at the last Honor Society meeting on Wednesday, April 15. The awards were presented by Mr. James Brien, journalism instructor, and those who retained their platinum pins were June Anderson, Lucille Floring, and Florence McVittie. Florence was president of the society. Lucille Floring was presented at that meeting with the good citizenship pin for her participation in the contest sponsored by the Sierra Chapter of the Berkeley D. A. R. Charter officers who were elected to lead the Richmond High branch of the C. S. F. were Richard Rihn, president; Rosebud Resch, vice-president; Joyce Maloni, secretary ; Betty Brewer, treasurer.

PO Ban Ad Ss.M I SHIELD STAFF A bigger and better Shield was produced this term by the two Journalism classes, which have again completed the semester successfully. Many changes were made on the Shield. Improvements this semester included a harder and better quality cover for the book, and more candid shots. The Shield staff included: Phyl Maxwell, editor; Eunice Rahwyler, assistant edi- tor; Janet Matheson, business mana ger, and Bernard Christiansen, sports editor. The Hi-Nus covered a great deal of work this term, including the six page paper which was published when the Standard Symphony had a concert here. The Hi-Nus staff was as follows: Grace Johnson, editor; Celia Robinson, assistant editor; Dale Lee; sports editor, and Frank Curry, advertising manager. Art work on the division pages of the Shield was done by Ethel Williams, member of Miss Woodman’s Special Art class.

JOURNALISM Il HI-NUS STAFF This term’s Journalism II class attended the Ninth Annual Press Convention held at the University of California. The Convention was sponsored by the Associated Stu- dents’ Publications and Alpha Delta Sigma, Theta Sigma Phi, and Pi Alpha Sigma. The Press Convention was attended by 700 students of high schools and junior colleges from all over the state. The Convention lasted three days, March 19, 20, and 21. Every hour the students were offered several activities that they could attend, such as round table discussions, lectures, and tours. Many prominent men and women of the newspaper world gave lectures and assisted at the discussions. Some of the speakers at the convention were Prescott Sullivan, fea- tured sports columnist of the San Francisco Examiner, Dorothy Ann Boyer, women’s feature writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, and Hal Johnson, City Editor of the Berkeley Gazette. Thursday evening the members of the convention attended a dinner and dance held at Stephen’s Union. Friday they attended a luncheon at which Monroe Deutsch, Vice- president of the University of California, was introduced and gave a short talk. CAMERA CLUB—First row: Jack Bartlett, Dick Johnson, Billy Hricz, Jim Toms, Dick Hammack, Lois Odell, Pat Crough. Second row: Lewis Dorman, Hazel Conn, Ann Miner, Reginald Donatello. I A A ae One of the most interesting of the activities around school is the Camera Club. It is led and directed by Mr. Bush. Here the taking, developing and printing of pictures is studied. In the past term very few have participated in comparison with the previous terms. Mr. Bush and the present members are looking forward to the entrance of many other students interested in the learning of the operation of the camera next term. There were many able photographers present in this term’s club. Pat Crough was the president, while Ann Miner served as secrtary. Two of the most outstanding students in the club were Jack Bartlett and Reginald Donatello, who were responsible for the pictures which were taken and enlarged for use in this Shield. These pictures included all the various activities of Richmond High and some very good pictures of Senior Day. They also did most of the developing and printing of pictures taken by the other members of the club. The fascinating study of photography has led Camera Club members this term into the study of enlarging, and you have no doubt seen many examples in the show- case in the main hall of their successful endeavor. Meetings are held weekly on Wednesdays, in Room 160, and all students interested are urged to come out next term. All that is required is a camera and a curiosity, no experience being necessary.

Voit bb fk OR Be? Bo Ale The Richmond Oilers enjoyed one of the best practice seasons they have ever had, suffering only one defeat, by one point. This game was lost to Oakland Tech, a team that went on to be co-champion of the O. A. L. The Oilers opened their practice season at Crockett, where they started their string of wins. They went on to defeat Alhambra, University, Lowell, San Rafael, John Swett, and Concord before they suffered their first defeat. In league competition Richmond first met Piedmont, and in their opening game suffered defeat. The second game saw the Oilers at full strength, defeating the Clan on the Richmond court. Andy Wolfe was the star of both games, taking high point honors. In the Alameda series the Hornets came to Richmond for the first contest and went home a beaten foe. The Oilers then went to Alameda for the last game and were defeated by one point. Hayward was the only team the Oilers defeated twice. The team defeated the Farmers in the Hayward “cracker-box” by one point, while at home Hayward provided no competition, the final score reading 54-28. Andy Wolfe scored 34 points in the second game. The Berkeley team was the only one able to down the Oilers twice. Albany, enjoy- ing its best season in years, split two games with the Oilers. Richmond seemed to have one of the more rugged teams in the league this season. Many of the games lost were by the free throw margin. Captain Andy Wolfe led ihe team in scoring with 150 points, a new league record, and had only 15 fouls. Gene Schilber was next with 65 points and 18 fouls. Harold Crisler made 39 points, Dale Lee followed with 25, Jim Torvik made 13, Wayne Wanless 11, and Gene Pleau 3. Seniors who are graduating are Wolfe, Schilber, Crisler, Lee, Torvik, and Pleau. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL First row: Walter Bebich, Peter Stark, Leonard Sullivan, Jack Walker. Second row: Ernie Baumberger, John Blom, Ted Ivancich, Don Parker, Herbie Bill. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL The Richmond High Junior Varsity finished in second place in the A. C. A. L. this season, topped only by the Berkeley Yellowjackets. During the past two basketball seasons Coach Bill Outman has done very well with the Junior Varsity. Last season the Bees shared a co-cha mpionship with the Clan Bees from Piedmont. Outman first played his boys against the John Swett five, winning 39 to 22. Then in succession they defeated Alhambra, University, and the next three opponents. Like the varsity, it was at the hands of Tech High that the Oilers tasted their first defeat, 21-17. By playing these games at a rate of two games a week Coach Outman arranged quite a good practice schedule.

YELL LEADERS Yell Leaders Betty Fraser, Marion Retynski, Pat Emerson. Neh i a a nS For the first time in the sehool’s history the yell leaders’ trio has lacked a man, but this has not caused any let-down in successful seasons. The head yell leader, Marion Retynski, chose for her assistants Pat Emerson and Betty Fraser, and at the beginning of basketball season they made their debut at a rally in the girls’ gym. At the following basketball games, these three could be seen leading the school yells, and pepping up the team’s supporters whenever a dull pause would seem evident. Hats off to these successful girls. Not only did they get along without a male, but they are to be complimented on their excellent leadership.

All three of these games were lost by one run and to tough opposition. The A. C. A. L. started with the Oilers playing Alameda at Alameda. The Rich- mond boys were defeated 12-7. Sullivan, Doyle, and McMurtie did the pitching for the Oilers. When Berkeley came to Richmond for the first of a two game series, the Oilers, with Keith Yeager on the mound, defeated the Yellowjackets 1 to 0. The Oilers scored the winning run in the ninth with the squeeze play. The Albany Cougars won the next game 4: to 2, with Carl DeRose striking out 21 Oilers. After this game DeRose was signed by the New York Yankees. The Oilers were a weak hitting team up until the second game with Berkeley. With Peter Stark and Leonard Sullivan sharing honors on the mound and Walter Bebich and Dale Lee contributing 3 hits apiece, the Oilers opened up with a 12 hit barrage on the Jackets and won 6 to 4. Tied for second place, the Oilers met Hay- ward and were defeated 3 to 2 on the Rich- mond field. Later Albany defeated Hayward to put Richmond again tie for second place. The Alameda team was still undefeated when it came to Richmond for the second game, and after a tough struggle Alameda proved too powerful and the Oilers lost, Site as The last game of the season saw Rich- mond traveling to Hayward to fight it out for second place. The Oilers lost the game and second place. At a meeting in the gym at the close of the season Dale Lee was elected captain of the COACH BILL OUTMAN team. TRA Caus!

TR AG Led by John Smrekar, Al Gianinni, Neal Leggett, Mervyn Proschold, Paul Mello, and Al Sears, the 1942 Varsity Track Team had its most successful season in years, taking second in the A. C. A. L. and also in the North Coast C. I. F. These outstanding men made the Oilers stronger performers in league meets than in dual competition, San Jose being the only team in Northern California to top the Oilers in the North Coast meet. Captain John Smrekar was the most consistent scorer of this year’s varsity. He established an A. C. A. L. high hurdle record, with the fast time of 15.6, and went on to win the low hurdles in 25.6. He was barely nosed out of first places in the San Jose meet in times of 15.3 and 24.6. Al Gianinni proved the next highest scorer and also had good season records of 48’ 5” in the shot put and 127’ in the discus. Paul Mello was the “find” of the year. In the first mile run of his life, Paul won with a time of 5:04. From this he improved rapidly until in the A. C. A. L. he won with a 4:40.1 mile, and in the North Coast he placed a close second in a record-breaking 4:33.1 mile. Mervyn Proschold, Oiler broadjumper, also established a fine seasonal record with a leap of 22’ 3” for a first in the A. C. A. L. Veterans Neal Leggett and Al Sears scored points in every meet in the sprints and 440, in addition to rounding out the winning North Coast relay team of Leggett, Sears, Smrekar, and Heinemann. In the “C” division, Richmond again had an outstanding team, in this case led by two sprinters, Davis and Thompson. In the North Coast meet these boys brought Rich- mond thirteen points and a second place. Davis established a new A. C. A. L. record in the 100 yard dash, running the distance in 10.6. Other point winners during the season were Bob Leggett in the 440, Max Metzger in the hurdles and Gin and Gok as the other two members of the relay team. COACH PHIL HEMPLER MANAGERS—Frank Moyer, Martin Streich, Myre] Moss, David Morgan, Bob Moore, Bill Fuson, Sherrod Davis, Bob Stevenson. MANAGERS Some twelve years ago Coach Phil Hempler organized the managers’ association, and it has functioned helpfully since the time of its organization. Students desiring to be managers start work as low sophomores. From the time a manager enters this asso- ciation until he becomes a senior he works one night a week after school caring for athletic equipment. For each term he serves he rises in seniority until he becomes a senior manager, at which time he automatically becomes supervisor over the crew. SENIOR MANAGER BOB MOORE The duties of a senior manager are to see that all equipment is brought in at nights. He also checks the managers’ work chart, and in turn is checked by the coach. A complete record is maintained for each manager from the time he starts until the time he finishes. As a reward for their work, managers not only travel with the teams, but also earn a Block R after three years of service. The high senior manager this term was Bob Moore, who was the leader of the crew. a G. A. A.—First row: Jean Clark, Charlotte Rothery, Evelyn Tessneer, Evelyn Howard, Barbara Pierce. Second row: Yvonne Miller, June Simpson, Marguerite Macdonald, Vivian Holdsworth, Dorothy Kennedy. eee ra: fe This term G. A. A. was held on Monday and Tuesday nights after school. Basket- ball games started off the term and baseball games finished it. The high senior class carried on its list of outstanding victories by winning the basketball league. The Winged R carried out its activities this term under the leadership of Evelyn Tessneer, president, June Simpson, vice-president, and Dorothy Kennedy, secretary. This group consists of the point winners in G. A. A. G. A. A. activities were successfully directed by Jean Clark, president, Vivian Holdsworth, secretary, and Miss McDon- ald, Mrs. Clark, and Miss McLaurin. Several playdays were held, such as the University of California and Berkeley High playdays. The Contra Costa County Play- day was held at Acalanes High on April 18, and the Federation Playday was at Albany on May 9. The climax of the term’s activities came with the annual banquet, which ended the meetings on May 25. At this function the girls received their awards. PRESIDENT JEAN CLARK 1. How about a spare? 2. Senior Magician performs. 3. Between lunch periods. 4. Blake gets a free ride. 5. Stressing importance of posts. Seniors applaud Seniors. Have a coke? School enjoys Senior Day.
