THE NETI-IERLAND EMI? 3? PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OE THE RIO VISTA IOINT UNION I-IIGI-I SCHOOL AT RIO VISTA, CALIFORNIA FOREWORD All around us we see progress of various sorts. In keeping with this spirit of advancement we have tried this year to make our annual unique, to change from the former type to a newer one. Because the span of a bridge is, in a way, synonymous with the span of the four years of high school which we have just completed, we have chosen bridges, both old and new, as the theme for our book. We hope you will like this year's edition of THE NETHERLi'XND. 4--lv 4422 DEDICATION We, the class of nineteen hundred thirty-four, dedicate this edition of THE NETHERLAND to our mothers and fathers, in sincere appreciation of their unfailing encouragement and kindly aid.

Dear Miss Gordon: I was a little surprised when you asked me to make a short contribution for the present issue of THE NETHERLAND. Sur- prised first because I did not know that you could bring yourself to talk to any one unless compelled to do so: second I thought, that after having had algebra, plane geometry and English III in my classes, you had possibly heard enough from me. I was unable to get an expression from you as to the subject, and so I feel perfectly free as to the direction in which to go. If I could say something which would lead to improvements in the school, I should do it cheerfully. In visiting the classes from time to time the general impression has been left with me, that perhaps we are rather too strongly academicg I have felt, not infrequently, that we were giving too much emphasis to col- lege preparatory work. I do not forget, however, that in the be- ginning that was the single idea in organizing high schools. I am rather of the opinion that their legal existence stands on that idea. However, with the changes which time has brought, it is quite possible that other ideas and so other lines of work should receive more consideration. Every day I meet young men and young women who have gone out from this school. In many cases it is a matter of some pride to me, to note the ease with which they have fitted them- selves into the life of the community-taken a definite place and become self-supporting, self-respecting, law-abiding citizens. Not infrequently, however, I meet one who is just going around and around, and not getting anywhere. And I have frequently won- dered whether the school might not have given some other lines of work so that all might be ready to take up, and prosecute suc- cessfully some line of work. In the last few years we have had a regular nightmare on the conservation of natural resources. And I have wondered, not in- frequently whether a proper evaluation had been made of the boys and girls in high school-for in the last analysis they con- stitute the only natural resource that is actually worth conserv- mg. In outlining work for school the financial side is important if not uppermost. It costs more to give proper instruction in mat- ters of food, clothing, health and housing than it does in algebra or English. It is quite possible that instruction on the intemal combustion engine in its various forms and applications would give a fuller return than instruction in ancient history: but it costs more. Expansion along the line of commercial work seems to be the one change that can be made at a minimum outlay. The work done by those who have actually taken that work in school seems to justify a movement in that direction. Sincerely, J. S. DENTON, Principal. 4459 1' '1 X ,If pri? 57.7 5--.. Q..

SENIOR HISTORY Four years ago forty-three new workers commenced the bridging of the deep river, Knowledge. The workers were joyously welcomed at a reception given them by the sophomores. The leaders of the workers were: Helen Hitchcock, Emmett Corbin, Paul Stefani, Florence McCormack, Miss Margaret Wood, adviser. The first pier of the bridge was completed with great exulta- tion and with renewed courage they tackled the second pier. The bridge-builders for the year were: Florence McCormack, Mervyn Sullivan, Helen Hitchcock, Emery Church, Miss Ethel Burroughs, adviser. In the third year the workers successfully completed the third pier of the bridge by participating in a three-act play en- titled, Sl0,000 Reward. In May the Prom was given. The directors of the workmen that year were: Robert Barnes, Betty Larson, Emery Church, Mervyn Sullivan, Miss Ethel Bur- roughs, adviser. At the beginning of the fourth year, as their Bridge of Knowledge neared completion, they chose as their officers: Mervyn Sullivan, Paul Fritts, Betty Stewart, Helen Hitchcock, Mrs. A. J. Vandiveer, adviser. Again the industrious builders laid aside their work and un- der the instructions of their experienced oflicers, gave a ball, the decorations of which were quite original. In the following spring, they successfully gave a three-act play, A Lucky Break. As the span neared completion the workers made prepara- tions for the dedication of the Bridge of Knowledge on Com- mencement Day. Gn june 17, 1939, the bridge-builders will assemble at the home of one of the active workers, Theo Stratton. Here, some will examine the structure and foundation of their bridge, to see how it has withstood the many storms of time: while others will probably seek new sites for building of future bridges.

Perhaps when we sug- gested this gathering five years ago, some of them thought it would never materialize. I said this to Theo as we stood out in the garden which sep- arates the Fritt's home from the old Stratton home. Theo held little Junior in her arms until she saw his father coming, and then she let him jump down to run gurgling to Paul. Say, but it will be great seeing everyone tonight. I can hardly remember what some of them looked like, said Paul. I don't think I told you, Helen, but Lorene Kammeyer, you remember her, was here a few months ago, and redecorated our house. She graduated from U. C. last year. She's still crazy about that Church boy, and he, by the way, is out on the ranch. He'll be down tomorrow. Yes, I knew that. She and Betty Thomas were at the re- hearsal of our radio broadcast last week, I replied. Betty is nursing in the Salari Home in San Jose. Oh, I hope everybody comes! Did I tell you that I received a letter from Betty Eaton, you know Betty Larson, and she regrets to say that she will be unable to come because Dick has to attend a banquet and he won't go without her. I asked them what they knew about Paul Stefani. They told me that Paul was a cameraman in Hollywood working for M. G. M. He had written saying he was coming. They had a strong suspicion that Marian Hastings would come with him. It seems she has made quite a name for herself in Hollywood, and she and Paul are running around together. Just then the door bell rang, and when Paul Fritts returned he had five telegrams in his hand. He said: This one is from Eleanor Sharratt, saying that she will be unable to attend. She says that she is in Paris on business for the firm for which she is a buyer. Here's one from Florence Mc- Cormack. Remember her? Well, she's a federal detective and says that she'll be a little late because she's looking for Donald Lisk. He is wanted on a charge of bigamy. Say, this one is from Dr. Sullivan. He says that on account of his divorce trial coming up tomorrow he can't come. cc I2:: Oh, yes, I said, I remember, he always was partial to red heads. I-Ie's getting a divorce from Betty Stewart, and then he and Beatrice-so I was told-will start for Reno. I was just going to tell them the details when we saw a huge passenger plane coming down from the sky. It landed, and we rushed over to it, but before we had a chance to say a word out jumped several of our classmates. In all the hubbub we noticed that Robert Barnes was piloting the ship. Finally we calmed down enough to see who had arrived. We discovered that Neves Charamuga, Angelo Marchini, Vincent Gemignani and Paulino de Mesa were all there together just as they used to be. The first three were clowns for Al. G. Barnes' circus, and Paulino was a purser on an ocean liner. He told us about his travels and told of the large orchestra called Poole and Rice Special which plays on a ship going to the South Sea Islands. Vincent asked for Douglas Machado, and Theo told him that Doug owns and operates one of the largest dairies in the state. Somebody asked about Clayton Blanks and someone about Wayne Davis, and we discovered that there were two pedago- glues from the class of '34. Clayton is a professor of zoology at assar, and Wayne is well on his way to fame at Stanford Uni- versity. In time there is little doubt but he will be president of that institution. Someone told us that Joe Bettencourt had gone on with athletics, and was making a name for himself as assist- ant coach in an eastern college. Somebody else told us that Em- mett Corbin had made his name famous on the gridiron as a second Rabbitt Bradshaw. Then Paul remembered to open the other two telegrams in his hand. One from Elaine Brown saying that she was in Eng- land sketching, and thought the distance too far to return for such a short visit. The other, from Catherine Turney saying that she would arrive in the morning. Someone remarked that she had a thriving business in her beauty salon down in Holly- wood. Just then Glenn Reddick came tearing around the bend in a low slung roadster. We found that he was a traveling sales- man for the Fuller Brush Company. The conversation began to lag: so we decided to retire for the night. The house had not been quiet for more than ten minutes when we heard a terrible noise down-stairs. Somebody was knocking vigorously on the door. It was Katherine Schnell. She had arrived in an awful hurr . We assailed her with ques- tions, and she said that she was the cook on the State Farm of Sherman Island. After this bit of excitement we all went to bed. -HELEN HITCHCOCK. cc I3 an President Vice-President Secretary Rrfresmlaiivc R Pazznoua V. GORDON E. NAICANO B. EMIGH IUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 'Twas way back in '32 when the juniors, fifty-nine strong and waving the banner Forward Ever, Backwa-rd Never, started to build the first span of their bridge called Learning. They were first entertained by the sophomores, and dutifully retu.rned this courtesy by giving the Freshman Return, which proved an important pile in the bridge. Outstanding piledrivers that year were: Jane van der Hoogt, Betty Emigh, Catherine Flodin, and Ralph Pezzaglia with Mr. Ruby as foreman. All their early timidity gone, the juniors boldly continued their work as they in turn planned a reception for the incoming freshmen. Ralph Pezzaglia, VVarren Smith, Kathryn Elliot, and Jack Talbert gave orders this year with Mr. Duffield as bridge tender. After sending a guard ahead to inspect the bridge, the juniors again set out to build the third span of their Bridge of Learning. They first entertained the other workers by means of the Junior Play entitled Second Childhood where laughter and hilarity presided. They made plans for and gave their an nual Prom this year with delightful results. Ralph Pezzaglia Verdie Gordon, Eddie Nakano, and Betty Emigh were out standing in class work this year inspired by Mrs. Simpson, the bridge-tender.

CRESCENZI SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY After a long summer, spent planning for a brave approach to the long anticipated Bridge of Learning, the class of '36 was met early in September and greeted royally by the class of '35. Such courage was gained by this reception that the next time the foreman allowed a rest, the sophomores eagerly planned the Freshman Reception as their first social effort. This was in the form of a depression dance and was enjoyed by all fellow-build ers on the road to knowledge. Those ringing the bells and giv ing the signals this year were: Warren Hamilton, Donald Mc Cormack, George Nakanishi, and Esther Crescenzi with Miss Idella Church as bridge-tender. Unable to resist leaving an unfinished bridge, they set out to build the second span of their Bridge of Learning. To build up the weakening piles, they gave numerous sales. Miss Church again kept a watchful eye on the piles to see that nothing but good material was used. In charge this year were: Margaret Howe, Wilbur Gardiner, George Nakanishi, and Anita Cres cenzi. cc I 6 rx an CALvIN ANDERSON ALMA AVILLA SONOKO AOKI GILBERT AzEvEDo ERNEST BROWN WALLACE BROWN ROBERT BROWN DONNA BACON JOSEPH BALDOCCHI WALTER BENDER MARCIA CHURCH VIRGINIA COLLYER ANITA CRESCENZI ESTHER CRESCENZI DUsTIN FooRn MAEEL FURUKAWA HELEN FREITAS WILBUR GARDINER WARREN HAMILTON RosE WEAsER ELAINE CLASS OF '36 ARTHUR HANSEN FUMI HASHILIOTO KATHERINE HASTINGS FRED HAYASHIDA LAWRENCE HOSHIKO MARGARET HowE MAY IKE LAWRENCE ISHISAKA MARY JOSEPH' DONALD KELLER MAY LEE DONALD MCCORMACK JOE MACHADO ELSIE MARTENIANO SHOGORO MATSUMOTO HARRY MENDENHALL GEORGE N AKA NISHI ALICE OTSUKA AUBREY PRICE MAXIMO QUINTO LOIS RODRIQUEz ROBERT SAWADA MARY SCHLAGER M ARGARET SCH NELL HARRIETT SHARRATT DONNA STEWART CECIL STINSON VIRGINIA SULLIVAN JAMES TAKEHANA RICHARD THRONE CHARLOTTE TONNESEN VIOLET TURNEY NANCY WERSTER CLARENCE YAMADA MARY YIM ANNIE YoKoo FRANK VENGLEY GAIL LEWALLEN Sophomores Whose Pictures Do Not Appear: ROGERS JOE DIAZ RUDOLPH DIAz ccl7n Q1 ich ur' -3 .

Wircox FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY After idly watching the boat of summer pass through the gentle streams of pleasure, the freshmen duly started building the first span of their Bridge of Knowledge. The first cessation of labor was marked by an entertainment given by the sophomores for the freshmen. Although the new workers were young and uninformed, yet they boasted that they were unfrightened by the cats, Witches and owls which were supplied by the sophomores. Stormy weather interrupted fur- ther celebrating, so there was no Freshman Return. Jack van Tonningen, Jack Turney, Marie Nakahara, and Fitch Wilcox gave danger signals and blew horns with Miss Burroughs con- trolling the gates. 44 l8 DP , I AUTOGRAPHS SAFEWAY STORES L. M.

From his general appearance he was a poor old man, ' He looked as if he didn't have a friend in the world. There was a splint'ry old stick for a cane in his hand, And his tattered old coat around him swirled. As I saw him there looking depressed and forlorn, I wondered how many others there were like him, Probably Wondering why they had ever been born, Without loyal friends, without loving kin. -BETTY EMIGII '35. 44 39 as lil X I , p -In -I of pgs! 1' i-- 3' Q jf l Via i .' 'lafvfaft Hey, you, the tank foreman yelled, interrupting Bill's musings. Today's your last day. Give that ship's boiler on number three scaffold a hammer test on the seams, and you're through for the day. We'll give it the water test this after- noonf' HO. K., chief, and, picking up a hammer, Bill walked away across the yard and up the ladder leading to the manhole of the ship's boiler. It was complete and ready to be slung into place after the tests. ' Down the swaying rope ladder Bill descended into the dark interior. The roar of the rivet guns and the confused clamor of the yard became a curiously muffled din in his ears. Gosh, it's dark in here l Muttering to himself he started his rhythmical tap-tap of the seams as his Hashlight played a ghostly white gleam around the boiler. Like being in a dark world of your own, Bill thought. That's funnyl There's water in here. Tap-tap-tap. Slosh, slosh, slosh. The water slowly rose and crept higher and higher like some relentless demon. Ulhn through-noni wher5s that ladder? Funny-dns water seems to have become deeper. God! it's up to my knees. Then, with a clutching fear numbing his heart, Bill threw the flashlight's beam upward. The manhole cover was in placel Trapped! With the water rising-slowly rising. The water test was on-the test which was to have been started hlthe afternoon. Ile vvas hs prisoner unless he could make someone hear. Then panic-stricken he pounded on the sides of the boiler. Upon those slippery, smooth sides which offered no hand hold nor foothold for him to escape from the rising, engulfing waters. He shouted madly, but knew he could not be heard above the roar outside. Not a chance- he choked, but his nerves became taut as he listened. There was silence. The din outside had ceased. VVas this hovv one died? In a last frenzied eHort he struck again and again at the steel wall with the battered flashlight. Bill opened his eyes and mutely questioned one of the men leaning over hinr Sothern's quiet hour, the man explained grimly. We heard you pounding. cc 38 sa FAITHFUL. HONEST SERVICE William Thorndyke stood with narrowed eyes before the bulletin board and read: In memory of Lew Sothern, who spent forty years in hon- est service, the Navy Department declares a five minute silence period at ll A. M. today. Comm. J. S. Andrews. He read the announcement over a second time. Faithful, honest service, bah! he remarked bitterly as he backed away from the board. Every time he read or heard about the old hard-boiled superintendent, his blood boiled. Again there came to his mind an incident which had occurred when he had first come to Mare Island three years before. He could never forget the old man's injustice on that occasion. He had been assigned, along with some other men, to re- move a small gun from one of the ships. They removed the fastenings and laid the gun on the deck carefully. Bill was hook- ing it to a long cable which hung from a crane, when the cable was suddenly jerked. The hook got caught on the range-finder and smashed it. Sothern, who had been watching the opera- tions, came to Bill and glared at him. You empty-headed fool! he bellowed. What's the big idea? That thing costs money! I--, Bill started to protest. Shut up, you idiot, Sothern yelled, and be thankful.if I don't have you fired. Fire me? Bill raged. You oughta Ere the guy who moved the cable. The old man's glowering looks belied that possibility, so he refrained from further argument, and laid himself open to a charge of carelessness. Bill had Worked on the last three years with a smouldering hatred for the old man's unfairness. It was also his last day at the yard. 'Tm going away after three years of hard labor, an' they don't put up any notice about that on the bulletin board, he grumbled. They give a five minute honor period to a guy like-- cc 37 an fi Ka if f N ,ia . if ,Q 'T-5 ,wwf 9- -,...-Q -TW- ,L Y - 1- Q. .,f--:- '.11-,firw 4?1....- -L -A-wif : -1 ,-1. 4 .-.,-gi' FEQTURES F Ai X 3 il l f ,.f' i .fm 313.1112 on GIRLS' LEAGUE This year, with Katherine Schnell acting as president, the league has prospered as it never has before. In order that the rest-room might be renovated various food sales were given at the beginning of the year. From the proceeds of these sales various articles were purchased for the restroom. A congoleum rug was laid, and the lounge and chairs were painted black. The sophomores undertook to make a couch-cover which succeeded materially in making the room more comfortable. On September 30, the girls gave a bridge tea at the Women's Improvement Club. After an enjoyable afternoon of bridge, re- freshments of tea, cookies, and sandwiches were served. In the fall, Mrs. Vandiveer accompanied by Katherine Schnell and Betty Emigh, attended the annual Girls' League Convention which was held at the Oakland High School. When the delegates returned they introduced many new plans and ideas for the league. On the evening of February 4, the Girls' Hi Jinx was held at the VVomen's Improvement Club House. All the girls came in costumes and prizes were given for the three most original. Each class was called upon to put on some form of entertain- ment. Following this the girls danced until twelve o'clockg then a ravioli supper was served.

The girls seem to be making a better showing in singles than in doubles, although their showing in the latter is good. They appear to take a great interest in their game in preference to other sports. The tennis team hopes to represent its school in the tourna- ment this spring, and to return home victorious. The players are: Mary Yim, Virginia Sullivan, Katherine Hastings, Mary Joseph, Shirley Mollison, and Marian Hastings. 44359 anna -'J t ig, ,Tk 1' '1 E- FQ TRACK Rio Vista High School's class C track team won the first Solano County class C track meet. Under the capable coach- ing of Mr. Simpson, the midgets won the championship with twenty-eight and three-fourths points. McCormack was the high point man with ten and one-half points to his credit. He took first place in the shotput with a heave of forty feet ten inches, and placed second in the 660. Jack Payne was right behind McCormack with seven and one-half points, winning the 120 low hurdles. Hoshiko and Ishisaka were tied for second place in the 100- yard dash and Robert Brown was tied for third place in the high jump. The Rio Vista relay team, composed of Ishisaka, McCor- mack, Hoshiko, and Payne won the 880-yard relay. On April 27, Rio Vista won the S. S. C. H. L. at St. Helena taking two cupsg one for the meet and one for the relay. 44 34 as CLASS C BASKETBALL Rio Vista's class C boys were unable to give much compe- tition to their opponents, however, Coach Simpson, with many inexperienced players, put up a fighting team. They engaged in four practice games winning two and losing two. In the league games the boys were even less successful. They played seven games. Of these seven games, the boys Won three and lost four. There will be a better team next year be- cause some of the players showed much promise. Players: Forwards: E. BROWN, HAMILTON, TAKEHANA, L.

CLASS B BASKETBALL The class B team had rather a bad season, however, the team was greatly handicapped, because the boys in the team were lighter and smaller than the boys in the teams of other schools. Although the team did not win many games, the boys gave a good demonstration of their fighting spirit every game. A much better team is expected on the court next year because many of the regulars will remain in the B team, and because many of the C team stars will be promoted to the B team.

There were several exhibitions of clever floor work throughout the games. With only a few boys out for the team, Coach Duffield worked hard and faithfully to put up a winning team. He did not accomplish this, but he put up a team that made many of the school's opponents work hard for their victories.

E- IUNIOR RED CROSS The junior Red Cross, under the direction of its very able sponsor, Miss Ethel Burroughs, has just completed another suc- cessful year. The council is composed of two members from each class, who are the following: Florence McCormack, Robert Barnes, Katherine Elliot, Edward Shimizu, Margaret Howe, Fred Hay- ashida, Betty Davis and Jack von Tonningen. At Christmas time twelve boxes of gifts were collected by the students and sent to the children of Guam, and, on Febru- ary 16, the organization entertained with a dance. On March 3, representatives from the Junior Red Cross, together with their sponsor, attended a convention of the or- ganization held at Woodland, California. After hearing the reports of the various representatives, the entire group attended a luncheon at the Fliers' Club. cc 24 an GLEE CLUB The glee club this year has made steady progress. The gen- eral ensemble of mixed voices has greatly improved the quality of music presented. The addition of twenty-five boys' voices has been responsible for the selection and presentation of a type of music that has had the approval of both audience and glee club. The combined glee club is composed of fifty-live voices: thirty girls' and twenty-live boys. The boys and girls have met alone two days each week and on Friday have met together. This arrangement has proved very satisfactory to Mr. Duffield, the instructor, as it has en- abled him to give individual instruction to those who h-ave needed it. The glee club took a major part in a program, Musical Review, which was given in October. This provided excellent experience to all who participated in the program. 44 23 an d ' J X, Y a Q- X.

The encouraging feature of the orchestra is, that only three of the members are seniors while eight are beginners. This year, due to the increase in members, our musicians have been playing more diflicult music. This group has played at all the plays which have been pre- sented and will play during Public School VVeek and at Com- mencement. On October 20, 1933, the combined orchestra and glee club presented a Musical Review. The proceeds were used to help pay the expenses of the boys' athletic teams and to buy outfits for the glee club. The allair was branded a musical and finan- cial success. cc 22 an .R ar. l President V ire-President Secretary E. CHURCH B. STEWART H. Hncaoocx Dear Fellow Students: It has been an honor and a pleasure for me to have been president of the student body during the school year of 1933- 1934. With the cooperation of the students and the aid of the faculty we have been able to present several new features in our meetings. Our pep rallies have added much to the promo- tion of enthusiastic school spirit. We have been entertained by representatives from several colleges, and we have benefited from their programs. At this time I want to thank the students and the faculty for their co- operation and interest. I hope that my successor will receive, from the students, the same good will which has been extended me. -EMERY CHURCH, President of the Student Body. cc 2I an -'LA -.A .. . !,e 5 at . iq, ii 17 t 5?'t?Lffl We an W, ,.,f1l-ni i . ,,, --J. -nfl '- ,Qgmf5a?,4':'i1,g' 4' ' - i'l'l1'5f':'+M.. -,l - 1 iyi'i'.N 39 '1 X . ,,z' V . s ,Ea 'li' v Q, Q-Q -. ilgikil .Aux g 5' ' 'als gn... .l.-........- drzmrit w 'a-Lgzm 'un QE'-:fu r 1 F Elia'-':, ' XQIENA .u :gk s J:Kf,l'. , ,Ea-x I-Q L-.27 ' fn gg RQ ,F ', 'gl nj 1-13 1 ' ?',dl3l'Ifnf.- , .m ,vru'vq1 , 1 I, 9- ri . v .. 1'n l f ar ' 3451-if fi?-'wfffd- ' 'a'r1: +'A W1 Y f-J B A .VI-'X-.

Although this new successor be Shiny, large, and good to see, Soon time shall tell the story of His good old days mentioned above. -JACK TALBERT 35 cc 20 as I LILLIAN AGUST GILBERT ALMADA NIASYOTHI AOKI EVA BARONI ICENNETH BERG ILENE CAMERON TERESA CLEARY BETTY DAVIS BIASATO EGI ARIIINE FOORII JIMMY FURIIKAWA HENRY GARI-'IELIJ AMY HASHIMOTO TOM HATANAICA ELSIE HAYASHIDA VICTOR H IGH LEY MARIAN HUNTLEY LYLE JACOIIS ARNOLD JEFFERY CLASS OF '37 MUN JONG W AH JONG VVILMA JOSEPH RIIRY KERR BLA NCIIE LA CH APELLE BERNICE LEAL WALTER LEE ALICE LEVERONI JUNIOR MCCRACKEN WALTER MCKARLEY LLOYD MACEDO MARY MARCELLI L MARY IVIARTORELID GEORGE MATSUSHITA ITSUYE MIYAMOTO YOSHIKO NAKANISHI MARIE NAKAI-IARA SAKAYE NAKAYAMA EARL OLIVER EDWARD OLIVER LOUIE OLIVERI JACK PEZZAGLTA HELEN RUGAARO ROBERT SCHMIDT PHYLLIS SILVA TAMIKO SOFYE TOMIKO SUYEOKA ROBERT SWARTZ EVERETT SWEDEEN BEATRICE SWIFT ROBERT SWIFT JACK VAN TONNINGEN BILL TORRES JACK TURNEY FITCH W ILCOX CLAUDE WILLIAMS FRA NCES YOUNG O Freshmen Whose Pictures D MELVIN FALCON TONY FERNANDES LUCILE GARNETT HENRY GELIO MADEIIENE JESSEE ABEL MARQUI-zz 441955 Not Appear: ANGELO MARTINEZ LOUISE SILVA ALVIN THOMAS 1..- 1' if Eff.
