Could each petal of each bloom be told aright, They scarcely could be equal to the tears That flowed from loving hearts. To them the sight Before them brought no comfort or no cheer, Forever gone that soul, so lovely and so dear. . IN MEMORIAM to LYDIA DE VERE It was as if the Lord had picked, this flower, The purest bud just as it was to bloom, And placed her where, in her untimely hour, Her beauty might escape an earthly doom. And though she left the ,bode of man so soon, Her blessed memory there will long re- main. Her sweetness, kindness, goodness, all in tune, To make fond friends and true where ,ere she came, Have made her soul immortal. Lydia was her name. LUCILLE Wfoon. -:TL -.- nw! e i .,-..1.. . .

The passengers were welcomed at a delightful reception given them by the sophomores and in the following spring they reciprocated by a most successful dance. The leaders of this band were: Muriel Jeffery, President, Marion Balsmeier, Vice-President, Edgar Emigh, Secretary-Treasurer, Lucille Wood, Representative, Mrs. Mildred Smith, Adviser. The first landing was made with much rejoicing and after a shore leave they began again with renewed enthusiasm to continue their journey. Their first duty they executed faithfully in giving a reception to the freshmen. The officers of this year were: Muriel Jeffery, President, Frances Yearnshaw, Vice-President, Agnes Nichols, Secretary-Treasurer, Renato Giannetti, Representative, Mr. D. C. Simpson, Adviser. During their third year the sailors proved that acting ability was included in their list of merits and they successfully produced Believe It Or Not, a humorous three-act comedy. The Prom, given in May, was a lovely affair. Their executives for that year consisted of: Lucille Wood, President, Frances Yearnshaw, Secretary-Treasurer, Edgar Emigh, Representative, Mrs. A. Vandiveer, Adviser. On the fourth and last portion of their journey, these hardy sailors were lead by: Richard Brann, President, Renato Giannetti, Vice-President, Agnes Nichols, Secretary-Treasurer, Marion Balsmeier, Representative, Mrs. A. J. Vandiveer, Adviser. They gave a ball in the fall and in the spring they successfully presented Your Uncle Dudley, a most fascinating three-act comedy. During their four year voyage the class of '33 was well represented in all the sports. Certain members of it materially contributed to the musical organizations of the school. As the steamboat drew near Port Graduation, its remaining passengers, of which there were only thirty-one, recalled their past .trip with a mingling of pleasure and regret. They had been forced to bid a tearful farewell to many of their comrades in the several ports, and some new passengers had boarded' Those who had stood by the ship were nearing the end of the journey and they bade each other a fond adieu before each continued his way on a separate road. 9 J' - 'Pl-r NME l xvkrkk ia...

I could make out the high school gym lighted-a basketball game, I guessed. In a few months it would be seven years since we graduated from the school just below me. I was thinking about that, as I flew the night mail from Oakland to Salt Lake City. My reminiscence was suddenly ended by the sputtering of the plane's motor. I looked down as the plane dived. I fought the controls, but it did no good. I heard the cracking of wood and tearing of cloth-.then blackness. When I regained consciousness, someone was standing over me applying something to my head. Feel better now? a feminine voice asked. Something about that voice was familiar. I tried to nod but could not. Now go to sleep for awhile, that same voice said. Hours later when I awoke, my head had cleared somewhat. I saw a nurse standing by the bedsideg she smiled. Wl1ere am I? I asked. In the hospital, your airplane crashed just out of town. It all came back to me-the twinkling lights, the sputtering of the motor, and the crash. Here is your special nurse, she said, as the door opened and someone entered. There was a short conversation between themg then one of them went out. When I opened my eyes I thought I was dreaming because there before me stood my old classmate, Agnes Nichols. I was still very weak, but I managed to ask her a few questions about her- self and the others of our class. I had not seen any of them since we were graduated, because I had joined the Navy after graduation. They almost had to take you over to Thelma Nelson's, said Agnes. Wl1y? Thelma owns .the Rio Vista Funeral Parlors, she explained. Wl1at are all the others of the class doing? I asked eagerly. X gl? .

Geraldine Brown is the buyer for a large outfitting company of San Francisco. Gerald Brown is one of the largest dairymen in California. Why, only last week he received a vote of thanks from the scientihc men of the world for his latest improvement in the dairy industry. I'm sure you've heard of Gerald's Cream Puff Cow. Lucille Wood is making good on the stage in New York, and she is the proud owner of one of the most beautiful penthouses on Fifth Avenue. jack Flannigan is telling Irish jokes over the large local radio station operated by Harold Elliot and Paul Adcockf' Hazel Davis is about to be married. After she is married she will live in Ryde, but she still intends to keep up her law practice in Isleton. Hart Kalebaugh is a doctor, and incidently he is the one to whom you owe your life. He spent hours working over you. Renato Giannetti is running the Ryde Hotel, but secretly he is carrying on a campaign in Italy to make himself dictator. Don't tell anyone, because Dede doesn't want Mussolini to suspect him. Edgar Emigh, in addition to being a prosperous rancher, is the proud owner of the two most famous racing dogs in the world.', What about Hank? I asked, suddenly remembering Edward Rice. Well, you'd never guess, so I'll have to tell you. He married Carmelita and they are living on one of the South Sea Islands, where Hank is a missionary. He's awfully glad he took Econ, as it's helping him in his dealings with the natives. If you read the papers regularly, you should know that Tom Matsubara and Yoshio Yamada are fast becoming famous as generals in the japanese Army. Oh, yes, Urzilla is running one of the best beauty shops in town, and she and her husband are very happy. Alzina Azevedo is living with her folks and working in Adelaide Madrid's Mexican Restaurant, which is the most popular place in the town, and the food there is simply wonderful. l , I I lf!!-3' A?

Clifford Smith is running a grocery store in Isleton.. Is Frank Shafer still around? Yes, and he and Robin Fenton are married and living on Frank's ranch, she replied laughingly. I always knew it would end up that way. You know that Frank was in the Olympic games in 1956. He set new records for both .the high jump and the broad jump. Of course you know that Marjorie Filbert is well on her way to the -v crown as the world's tennis champion. George Akers owns the largest chicken ranch in the state. I-Ie and Richard are friendly rivals over their chickens. Doris Williams was married a few days after graduation. She is still living on Ryer Island. Lucile Sullivan is teaching at the Birds Landing school. Marion Balsmeier is the best stenographer in the Delta. Toshio Sasaki is still trying to invent that pair of glasses so he can see as well at night as he can in the daylight. How about you? I asked. Oh, I entered the nurses training school at the university of California and I came here when they built this new hospital, which Mrs. Vandiveer donated to Rio Vista when she made her first ten million. She left the teaching profession and became a stock broker when the depression was over, and became rich, she replied What have you been doing? I was in the Navy for four years and I have been in the air mail service since then. Little did I think as I flew that night over Rio Vista that I was soon to hnd out that all my old classmates were prospering in different parts ofthe country.

Secrelary R617l'6,fElZfdfiZ 6 ROBERT BARNES BETTY LARSON EMERY CHURCH MERVYN SULLIVAN THE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY ITH a hearty Heave Ho the anchor was weighed and a well-manned schooner sailed out of the harbor, with some fifty passengers, on a four-year cruise on the higher seas of learning. These voyagers were entertained in the early part of the trip at a reception given them by the sophomores. After carefully taking their bearings they returned this kindness by inviting the entire school to a dance given a short time later. With Miss Margaret Wood in the pilot-house and the following officers at the helm, they managed to steer clear of the shoal and rapids in the first year of their voyage: Helen Hitchcock, Captain, Emmet Corbin, First Mate, Paul Stefani, Yeoman, and Florence McCormack, Second Mate. They rode at anchor in a small harbor for a short time and then began the second lap of their cruise. During the forenoon watch early in September, 1933, they set sail and at three bells, when all reported for duty, they discovered that a number of their passengers had stayed ashore. Witlm the order from the captain for full speed ahead they scrubbed decks and prepared to entertain the freshmen. This voyage was directed by: Florence McCormack, Skipper, Mervyn Sullivan, First Mate, Helen Hitchcock, Yeo- mang ,Emery Church, Second Mate, and Miss Ethel Burroughs, Navigator. ?2' N l RQ 'E L -,..

On this lap of the voyage they assembled everyone in the hold and some of the crew entertained with a three-act comedy entitled, 5B10,000 Reward. Those who are giving the orders this year are: Robert Barnes, Captaing Betty Larson, First Mateg Emery Church, Yeomang and Mervyn Sullivan, Second Mate. Miss Ethel Burroughs is again guiding their hardy little craft. They are now looking forward to a Prom to be held a short time before they anchor for the summer. With one more year of voyaging before their cruise is over they are planning big things for the last lap of the voyage. ,ni 1:1 'PfE':,s'.' I it P 57' i F ws..

The river and the river boats were chosen as a motif for the 1933 Nether- land. Both the river and the boats have played an important part in the life of the Delta for years and will continue to be important for countless years to come. Agnes Nichols ............

It was the reception given to the incoming freshmen by the sophomores. This is an annual affair to make the newcomers feel at home and get acquainted. The school gym was prettily decorated, and the music was furnished by Jack Greene's Orchestra. Punch and cookies were served during the evening. Hi-Jinks As the girls had no special athletic organization, the name of the Girls' Athletic Club was this year changed to the Girls, League. They gave a Hi-Jinx costume party on November 10, which was the most informal and hilarious affair of the year. Prizes were awarded to those in the prettiest, the funniest, and the most original costumes. A stunt from each class furnished the entertainment, while delicious refreshments were served by the girls and their mothers at midnight. Senior Ball A dance was given by the Senior Class, Friday evening, November 18. The proceeds from that affair were used to defray the expenses of this annual. Clever street lamps furnished the light, and from a very cleverly decorated booth, punch and cookies were served. jack Green and his orchestra supplied the music which was played from behind a vine-covered trellis. Everyone claimd the dance a social success. Freshman Return The Freshman Return was given in keeping with the times in the form of a depression dance. All were requested to wear patches or pay a fine. The gym was lighted by kerosene and gasoline lamps, some of which were placed on a large pile of boxes in the middle of the floor. A local orchestra played for the dancers inside an old shack which added to the depression idea. All enjoyed the novelty of the evening. M thin' M'-. .lit '41 ge: B 'I' ' 1-f,,, 1 Mn --Q v' .

Junior Prom The last social function of the year was the Junior Prom, given on the evening of May 19, 1933. This dance is always looked forward to with much enthusiasm, being one of the most outstanding dances of the year.

Though they did not have championship teams, they always gave their opponents a hard light. The football squad was one of the strongest which has ever worn Rio's colors. Though several of the best boys will be lost at the end of this year, a number of new stars have made their appearance and will take the vacated places. The three basketball teams did their share in trying to bring athletic honors to Rio Vista. Every game they engaged in was a hard fought one. The track team deserves much praise for the way in which they took third place at the Davis Meet. FOOTBALL GAMES Rio Vista 20-Lodi 20 Rio Vista 0-Courtland I2 Rio Vista 0-Armiio 0 For its first league game, Rio Vista invaded Armijo and held that team, which later was champion of Solano County, to a scoreless tie. Many fumbles and penalties were called on Rio Vista. This game was later declared Rio Vista's victory by touchpoints. Rio Vista-I9-Vacaville 0 Rio Vista easily secured three touchdowns, and one conversion, though Vacaville put up a valiant, but ineffective defensive fight. ln this game, Edgar Emigh, one of Rio's best players, was injured. Rio Vista 0-St. Helena 6 Rio Vista tasted her first defeat of the season in this hard fought game. St. Helena finally succeeded in scoring with a block kick. Rio Vista 25-Vacaville I2 In this game every wearer of the Red and Green was given a chance to show his ability. The Rio Vista reserves held Vacaville in check until the last quarter in which Vacaville succeeded in bringing its score to 12 points. , ag.. ..'1:f1,. 1 - ,V . l I. t ET' l it wr., i 'v ,u , if - 1 T .. hm -gr- ii ' Rio Vista 0-S+.

Rio Vista 7-Armiio I9 Armijo journeyed to Rio Vista to play a return game. Rio Vista scored a touchdown in the first quarter, but at the end of the Hrst half, Armijo had tied the score. Rio Vista's line weakened and the backfield was held in check by Armijo.

Emigh, the fastest end of the squad, was injured in the second league game and his absence weakened the team considerably. The team placed third in the Solano County Athletic League. Mr. Simpson again coached the team. This year is the last year of football for Giannetti, Emigh, Shafer, Yamada, and Flannigan. The lineaup was as follows: Ends: Emigh, Corbin, Gardiner Tackles: Nunes, Poole, Flannigan Guards: Stefani, Bennett Centcr: Sullivan Quarterbacks: Giannetti fCaptainj, Nakano Halfbacks: Mollison, Yamada Eullback: Shafer A TEAM BASKETBALL The basketball team of this year was not a championship team,'but it gave its opponents many hard lights. It had a fairly good chance of winning the league championship until Giannetti, ne of the most valuable players, was injured and was unable to play in the remaining league games. Next year the school will be minus these players: Emigh, Giannetti, and Rice. Mr. Duffield coached this team, and his good work showed results in the way in which the team fought in all the games.

GIRLS' TENNIS HE girls' tennis team, suffering the loss of only a few veterans of last year, is having an interesting and enjoyable season. The team hopes to represent our school in the county tournament at Fairfield late in May. Some very excellent material promises to produce strung teams in both singles and doubles. Tennis is a sport which has many supporters in our school and the team is determined not to betray the confidence of these tennis fans. In the interclass tournament, the girls were particularly outstanding. They displayed exceptional ability in serving and showed fine team work in the doubles. The freshmen are to be congratulated on their excellent .turn-out and their splendid showing in this tournament. I L IH b i GIRLS' LEAGUE VERY girl in the school is a member of this league.

THE STROKE OF EIGHT 'I' was a dark, clear, summer night. Long Beach was fairly quiet because of the late- ness of the hour. Suddenly a dark shadow darted across the sidewalk into the deeper shadows of the hotel. lt moved stealthily along the building until it came to a window through which the lobby could be seen. It gradually took the shape of a large, power- fully built man. The man stopped and raised his head cautiously until he could see into the interior. He drew it down quickly. The men were still in the lobby, so he would have to try to get in another way. There must be some other way. He was desperate. He had to enter the hotel, but he was a novice at forcing his way into buildings. This was his first attempt, but he must succeed since it was so vitally important. He looked again. Yes, the men were still talking. How was he to manage? He glanced quickly up the street and saw that no one was in sight. Witll a sigh of relief he crept toward the fire escape. If only a window should be open it would be simple. He slung an object he carried over his back and began to climb. As he reached the third step he heard footsteps on the sidewalk below. He stopped climbing and pressed back into the shadow of the building. A policeman was walking along his beat. He stopped and looked .up the alley next to the hotel, and then went on his way. The man on the fire escape was breathing heavily. This experience was not exactly pleasant. If only he were not so inexperienced at this, it would not be such a strain on his nerves. He began to climb again. He reached the first floor, and was about to start climbing to the second floor when a noise above startled him. He strained his eyes, but was unable to see anything. The noise was repeated. The man, recognizing the sound as that of the opening of a window, gave a suppressed chortle. lf that window were only on the right floor then everything would be O. K. He wai.ted until everything was quiet, and then again began to climb. He climbed past the second floor and up to the third. Yes, there was a window open. He had depended on that. He crept cautiously to the window and listened. He could hear quiet, regular breathing from within the room. All was going smoothly so far. He put his leg over the sill, being careful not to .upset anything, then drew his other leg inside. There! He was in. He looked at the still figure on the bed. The man on the bed had not stirred. He took the object off his back and laid it on a chair. He moved toward the bureau and opened a drawer carefully. Yes, there they were, just as he had hoped they would be. real' .... ., I' ' In .,, . .,..

He gave a sigh of relief. He had made it. If Coach had seen him it would have been too bad. Here he was, Ed. Brown, stroke of the crew which was to race in the Olympic finals tomorrow and he was breaking training. Coach had impressed all the crew with the importance of being in early, and here he was just arriving. Coach was funny. He never would understand that he had not done it intentionally. But, oh, boy! that moonlight swim! Well, he could not help it if he had missed the last bus back from the beach. He had not meant to miss it. He had stayed in the water a little longer than he had intended. Hope that suit is dry tomorrow before Norrie wakes up. Norrie wouldnft tell of course, but still- His thoughts trailed off as he fell asleep. FRANCES YEARNSHAW '33. -ga I. -. 2 ig- F, 4 i au I 'E I xi. r, 'Q . I 1 .,.- 1 i :ng- . :ll i.

RSIFICATION OF ATION If I had a poet's imagination, Perhaps I could create an inspiration From which I'd pen a new popular sensation, For this young, crooning, loving generation. Perhaps I might receive a great oration And soon be renowned at every celebration, Or maybe a help to the lover in the revelation Of his love to some fair maiden of this population. But unless the old folk had rejuvenation My song would soon face obliteration, And I would probably face starvation. Luckily, in me there's no imagination.
