B. CROOK w FOUNDED RIPON, 1875 -.ii -he-,ala Foreword The history of Ripon has been chosen as the motif for this year's Mission. By this token the class of '35 wish to pay tribute to the founders and early settlers of our town. Wheat raising and dairying, the two sources of livelihood that have been re- sponsible for the growth of this section, have been pictured as symbolic. We, the staff, have tried to reflect the life of our school with its work, as well as its lighter moments. Our hope is that these pages will often bring memories of happy days spent within its walls.

A petition was drawn up and circulated, an election held for the high school board, and Ripon Union High School District organized and ready for busin-ess in just one month. The school was opened on the first day of September, 1910, in the Odd Fellows Hall, with one teach-er and fourteen students. A temporary high school ' building was con' structed, and another teacher added, in 1911. After that, until 1916, rooms and teachers were added until there were five rooms and five teachers employed. This building is used for shop and agriculture at the present time. In August, 1916, the structure which now houses the students was started, to be finished in May, 1917.

In the fall of that year a large class entered school that was destined to spend four enjoyable years within its walls. As most of us had attended Junior High, we felt right at home, but that didn't prevent us from being initiated by the mighty sophomores. Our first activity was a party held in the sewing room at school. Games were played and refreshments served. We all agreed it was a grand party. ' As a means of raising money, we decided to put on an entertainment before the student body and charge five cents admission. Two one-act plays were selected- Oh Promise Me, and Fun in a Photograph Gallery. The casts of the two plays included nearly everyone in the class. The program was profitable financially and was well received by the students. . ' . , In the spring we went on a picnic and swimming party to the Municipal Baths in Stockton. , The officers for the two semesters were as follows: 'Marie Santos .....V ...............................

' This was the year when we had our turn with the freshmen and we certainly 'initiated them. They must have known they were welcome after w-e hadf' finished with them. ' . W A 4 Asi Mr.Q'iAungst, who was our' advisor, felt obligedto spend more time with the JunioriqHigh, he turned us over to Mr. Brown, who was to struggle withnus for the remaining three years. V. - Later fin the year each class was asked to present a program to the student body. Our group put on a radio program, broadcasting from station 'N-E-R-T-S with a program similar to that of Al Pierce. It was fun to arrange as well as to hear. We were well represented at the South San Joaquin Typing Contest held in May, 1933. Marie Santos won first place in speed and first in accuracy, while Frances Kincaid took second in' speed and third in accuracy.-' g ,- h s'Thev officers for the two semesters were as follows: Howard AI1dGI'SOI1 ...........

MISSION 1935 13 Senior History 1933 Juniors! The big event of the year was our junior play, The Charm School, presented in March. Marie Santos and Carroll Keirn took the leading roles. It was an excellent play and the cast did it justice. The grand social event of the year was the junior-senior prom given in May and held on the roof garden of the Hotel Wolfe in Stockton. We enjoyed dancing to a good orchestra and there was an abundance of balloons and ice cream. The officers for the two semesters were as follows: Carroll Keirn ................................. President ..................... Howard Anderson Robert Hutchinson ............ Vice President ............... Charlotte Haller Ernest Ahles ..,.............................. Secretary ..............c Charlotte Stahlberg Cfharlotte Haller ......................,. Treasurer ........................... Nicholas Tocco 1934 We're Seniors at last, but, to some-, that fact brought regrets. We shall miss all the good times we've had these four years. . In December we gave our senior play, a thrilling mystery, The Triple Cross. Mae Lagier and Carroll Keirn took the leading roles and the play kept everyone in suspense. Then came the fun-our senior ditch day-when we got one whole school day free to go to the snow. We- certainly made use of it, as the ones left behind agreed by the black eyes and such that we exhibited next day. But, OH, THE BEANS! Let this senior class warn those who come later, Don't take beans on ditch day. At least, don't let anyone dope them for you! We know, for we had the experience. Our good-bye party was a p-rom given by the juniors at the Trac-y Inn. We enjoyed dancing, games and a Dutch buffet dinner. Then came the last, long-to-be-remembered events. Baccalaureate services were held in the Swedish church. And last, but not least, came our graduation exercises, held in the open court in front of the school. The officers for the two semesters were as follows: Howard Anderson .................. President ,,,,,,,,,..,.,,,,,,.,.,,,,, Nicholas Tocco Bill Fisher ...................,.......... Vice President ..................... Harvey Douma Radomir Kolak .....,..................... Secretary ........,..................... Beatrice Rees . Harvey Douma ........................... Treasurer ......... Bernice Bartholomew And so the class of '35 leaves Ripon Highg some to go to higher schools and some to get jobs, but the memory of our high school career X N will linger on.

Morse, advisor The Junior High has had three parties this year. One was a Hallowe'en party held on October 26, 1934. The others included a Christmas party, at which gifts were exchanged, and a Valentine party. During the year the group attended two interesting moving picture shows, and another program, at the Grammar School. An operetta entitled Paints and Patches was given early in May. During the year the group constructed an interesting museum which had in it an old Indian skull, projects by the students, and other Indian things. They also visited an Indian exhibit owned by Mr. Nourse. Numerous projects were completed in Social Studies and Science. The best of these were placed on display during Parents' Night, May 17. The science classes made several field trips and found many interesting things which were added to the Science room collection. At class meetings this year an entertainment committee was elected which provided very good programs after class meetings. A graduation committee was also appointed to arrange a graduation program.

It was located one mile west of Ripon on the West Ripon Road, now the location of the Christian Grammar School. Mr. Paul L. Ness, a pharmacist, and Dr. R. W. Brace, who 'had previously been an army sur- geon, were both associated with Dr. Gould in this praiseworthy enterprise. Thirteen acres of the property of the hos- pital was given over to th-e raising' of vegetables, fruits and poultry, which were used in the insti- tution. Tested dairy cows were also raised that supplied the hospital with milk and butter. The building' was destroyed by fire in 1926. The cause was unknown but was thought to be due to defective wiring. T Ctr ltl MISSION 1935 21 Student Body' Mr. Weslie A. Stouffer, advisor The student body has had a number of entertain-ing and educational programs this year. Mr. Jack Hazard of Modesto gave a very well received talk on the subject of vocations, as did Coach Jim Corson of Pacific on another occasion. A musical program was given by the Modesto Junior College Band under the direction of Mr. Mancini. A deputation team from the College of Pacific presented a program of music and readings. Variety enter- tainments were given by the Girls' League, F. F. A. and freshman class. Two parties were held during the year. The first combined a short program, games and dancing. The second was in the form of a skating party at Modesto. Officers for the year were: Carroll Keirn ....,............................... President .............. .............

Brown, advisor The merit board of 1934-1935 was made up of Marie Santos, repre- senting th-e senior class, Gladys Asklund, the junior classg and Ray Turn- quist, the sophomores. The duty of these people has been to record the merits and demerits on individual cards, which are kept on file in the office. Merits are awarded for leadership and service to the school. Begin' ning in the freshman year, points may be carried over from year to year until the student graduates. When a student has accumulated two hundred merits, he is awarded a red felt English Rug for two hundred and fifty merits he receives a gold block R ping and for three hundred merits, a gold numeral guard is given. The demerit system is used as a disciplinary measure. Demeri-ts are given for disobedience, misdemeanors, rudeness, noisy or boisterous conduct, unexcused tardiness or absence, profanity, lying, and so forth. When a student receives thirty demerits, or more, he may be suspended from schoolg the length of suspension is to be determined by the offence. X X . X 14 :QS X -- --A-z. X pl!!

Though few participated, real honors have been won by Christina Van den Akker, Beatrice Rees, Gladys Bartholo- mew and Tate Hutchins, th-e class members. In the first round of debates, Rip-on defeated Ceres and Fresno, losing to Modesto and Livingston. In the second round, Ripon won over Ceres, Fresno and Lodi, and lost to Livingston. - In addition to the regular debate schedule, Ripon High entered two tournaments. Gladys Bartholomew and Christina Van den Akker repre- sented the school in the Fresno State Teachers' College Debate Tourna- ment, where they won first place over twenty other teams entered. ln the 'University of Redlands Debate Tournament, Ripon came through the preliminaries wi.h flying colors, being one of three out of thirty-two teams entered to finish undefeated, but was then eliminated by teams from Bakersfield and Corona. Girls' League Mrs. N. T. Gonzales, advisor Mrs. Gonzales, dean of girls, and Gertrude Lisenbee, our president, have led us through two enjoyable semesters. Several parties have been given. The welcome party for new girls and freshmen was a prosperity affair, decorations being paper money of all denominations and bags of gold--not genuine of course. The second was a costume party for mothers and daughters. The birthday box was opened and yielded 351047. The girls gathered clothes before Christmas which were turned over to the local town welfare committee. The San Joaquin Valley conven.tion of this organization was held at Livingston. Gertrude Lisenbee and Georgene Osborne went as our delegates. A bus load of members also attended. The annual Girls' League program for th-e student body was given January 12. It consisted of dances, a recitation, a short play and some orchestra numbers. A cake sale was given in April to raise money. The animal junior-senior tea was held the latter part of May. Seniors and their mothers were guests of the juniors. The officers for the year were: Gertrude Lisenbee ........................ President ........................

B. Brown, advisor At the beginning of the school year the Gold R Society held an initiatory meeting and elected five members: Charlotte Haller, Harvey Douma, Carroll Keirn, Howard Anderson, and Marie Santos. The cere- mony was conducted by Bob Hutchinson. During the second semester Frances Kincaid and Lester Newstrom were initiated into the society. There are definite requirements for membership in this organization. When a student receives 250 merit points, he is awarded a gold R pin, and automatically becomes a member of the Gold R Society. A guard is given for 300 merit points. The following officers were el-ected this year: President-Harvey Douma Vice-President-Charlotte Haller Secretary-Marie Santos Scholarship Mrs. N. T.

The paper this year became a four page weekly, and was printed instead of mim-eograp-hed. Special Xmas and April Fool editions were published. The cost of printing was financed by adds from Ripon, Stockton, an.d Modesto, a charge of one cent an issue per student, a benefit trip to B. C. Wallace's Funeral Parlors, and a weekly allowance from school funds. Representatives of the staff attended journalism conventions at Stanford and Modesto Junior College.

Mason Jr., director Under the direction of Mr. Chester W. Mason Jr., the music depart- ment vhas had a full year of activities and work. To the band, orchestra and glee club has been added a junior orchestra with an enrollment of forty beginners. In addition to these major activities of the music department, a number of smaller groups have been formed. One of these was the brass quartet composed entirely of seniors. Another was a saxophone sextet. Musical students of the Agricultural department organized an Ag. band, and memb-ers of the Girls' League formed a small orchestra. During the last semester a freshman orchestra was organized, too. GLEE This year the combined boys' and girls' glee club, with an enroll- ment of fifty-one students, has been very active. Numerous programs have kept the group busy. The operetta, An Old Spanish Custom, climaxed the years work. Programs in which the group participated were: meeting of the Womens' Improvement Club, a Christmas program at the Congregational Church, two band and glee club concerts, W. C. T. U. meeting, radio program over KGDM, Parents' Night entertainment, service held at the Swedish Church. ORCHESTRA Twice a week the senior orchestra has met for practice in the music building. Breaking a precedent of the past few years, the orches- tra, instead of the band, has appeared at the school plays. The junior, or b-eginners' orchestra, was organized during the second semester. It had a membership of about forty students. When a player had advanced sufiiciently, he was allowed to join the senior orchestra. Programs in which the orchestra has played were: San Joaquin School concert, school play, junior play, senior high operetta, junior high operetta, baccalaureate, and junior high graduation exercises. BAND Topping the musical events of the year was the bands participation in the state band contest. This event was held at the Commerce High School auditorium in San Francisco on May 4. Two school buses afforded the necessary transp-ortation, leaving at seven-thirty in the morning and returning at ten P. M. After playing, the band enjoyed a sight-seeing tour through Golden Gate Park, and recreations at the beach. Ripon competed against seven other schools in Class C, each school being placed in A, B, or C groups according to size. Four schools, among which was Ripon, were given an excellent rating. None of the bands in this group placed in the superior classification. .1 -+A .-.N MISSION 1935 27 xl!

STUDENT BODY PLAY By far the largest attendance ever seen at any high school play was that at the school play, Seventeen, The production was v-ery interesting because its cast was made up of mem'bers from each class and it really gave more students an opportunity to be in dramatics.

The group was a most enthusiastic one and the ladies made a variety of useful and attractive articles. Weaving was new for the adult group this year and it deserves special mention from the stand point of interest and results. Other work done in this class was as follows: tea tiles, waste baskets, block print cards, block printing on textiles, dye work and leather tooling. Housekeeping Department Miss Janet Davis, instructor HOUSEHOLD ARTS With Miss Janet Davis as a capable instructor, about ninety girls have tak-en household arts this year. The major work consisted of the sewing of clothing, weaving, handwork and modeling. A study was also made of fabrics, color combinations and care of clothing. HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE Fourteen girls have taken household science during the two semesters. They did laboratory work twice a week and book work three times a week. Besides the studying and preparing of foods, they have studied child care, house planning, gardening and home management. Commercial Department Miss Fannie Nelson, instructor The commercial department, under the able instruction of Miss Fannie Nelson, has spent another busy year. The bookkeeping class consisted of thirteen students. In the first year shorthand class there were four students, with seven in the second year. The first year typing class was larger this year than it has been in a long time, with about sixty-five students. The second year class was much smaller, numbering only twelve stud-ents. PRACTICE TYPING CONTEST A preliminary typing contest was held here on May 2 with Manteca. Ripon won with 8 points, while Manteca had 4.

Mildred Kincaid, first year student, placed third in both speed and accuracy. Wilhelmina Enserink, second year student, won third place in speed. Xl , i n f f X X Xi HE Markham home, pictured at the right, was one of the early homes built in Ripon. It was located where the post office and the Osborne and Spaman grocery store now are to be found. Miss Molly Markham had come to Ripon in 1883 and Mr. George Markham in 1884. When their home was built in 1891, the only other downtown buildings were the McKee and Rey- nolds store, a hotel Where Pope's garage is now located, and the brick structure now used by the lumber yard as an office.

One day his wife said, Go to town, For I need some bread and bacon. Up the river and over and down, And a short-cut he was takin'. As he started to climb o'er a barb-wire fence, He ripped his six-bit breechles. Rip on, he said, and they ripped until He had ripped out all the stitches. Ripon, thought he, that's a v-ery good name. So he went right home a skippin', And said to his wife, This will win me fame, For I'll build a town named Ripon.

I ain't so sure that'll be much, but still I'm not sure. You see I been tinkerin' around this little town of Ripon a few days, and found some right smart facts connected with it. I'm fired up to t'ell you folks some of 'em. , . x X X . -v- N min! , -, f I f I I r A 38 MISSION 1935 Queen Victoria: What a peculiar name for a town. Can you tell me, my good man, where it received that title? Will Rogers: Well, Vic., as near as I can learn, a feller by the name of Crook from out in Ripon, Wisconsin, came here and settled. He was jest about the only one in these parts. Course he felt that gave -him the right to name the place. He decided on his old home town, and it seems like that name has stuck. Queen Victoria: Iunderstand that Ripon is near Stockton. Is that true? Will Rogers: Well, if you ask Ripon folks about it, they'll tell you Stockton is on the outskirts of Ripon. Queen Victoria: Outskirts. What a horrid word! Please remember your manners, Mr. Rogers. Joan of Arc: Oh! I don't like this town. You remember how I used to herd cows? This town should have cows. Will Rogers: Why, Joan old girl, you're all burnt up. Jest right you are. though. Maybe you should be informed, however, that Ripon is noted as a fine dairy community. As a matter of fact, we have the jovialest cows you'd want to see. Julius Caesar: Cows are all right, but it's eggs that entrance me. By the way, Bill Tell, didn't you shoot an egg off your son's head? William Tell: No. It was an apple. Napoleon: Apple! The very mention of the word gives me a stomach ache. l Shall Itell you how a green apple made me lose a famous battle? All: No! ! ! ! ' William Tell: Speaking of war, I hate these new-fangled contraptions for killing people. Give me a good old bow and arrow. Say, Mr. Rogers, this town would be all right if it had some places where I could hunt arrow heads. Will Rogers: Well, jest put your mind at -ease. We have a fine Indian buryin' ground right close to here. You can find all the specimens you want. William Tell: thastily departing! Goodbye, friends. Nero: My idea of a town is never a town until it's had a good fire. Will Rogers: Well, I recken in '26 when the hospital burned down, it was a right smart fire. Nero: Good! I must go look at that hospital that burned down. Henry VIII: Truly, the dames here are all fair to look upon. Solomon: How would you know? Henry VIII: Why shouldn't I? I had six of my own. Solomon. You talk of a miserable six to me. Surely, you've heard of Solomon. Henry VIII. I beg your pardon, Sol. You should be the wisest teacher of all. Will Rogers: Talkin' of teachin'. Maybe you folks 'ud be interested to know that the first high school classes in Ripon were held in Odd Fellows Hall. Guess the reason they called it Odd Fellows was because the walls separatin' the rooms never reached the ceiling. The babble during school hours was mighty confusin' I guess.. But Solomon, you must be used to babblin' with all the wives you've had. SX English Class 1- Q- -?, -- .-.., MISSION 1935 John P.

He felt that he had all the reason in the world for believing it. He was born on Friday the- thir- t-eenth. Not only that but he was born under an unlucky star and in the wrong time of the moon. He had lost his father when only a young lad-- old enough, however, to realize 'the significance of the fact. His mother had remarried and presented her son with a hard-boiled stiff-headed and quick-tempered step-father. When he was eight years old, he received an injury to his back which left him humped. On returning to school, he was nicknamed Humpy, He hated the name, but he was unable to change it. Still, he studied hard and graduated with honors, majoring in mathematics and telegraphy. He looked everywhere for two years, trying to find a job. Finally, he landed one as assistant to a telegraph agent in Dublin, a village way outnin the sticks. For two years Humpy led an uneventful life at Dublin. One day Humpy was left in charge of the telegraph office. The morning of that day passed with its monotony. At 2:15 he picked up a message notifying him that 1the company's private car was coming through the town of Dublin. This call meant nothing to Humpy other than that the big s-hots were taking their annual inspection tour. The message detector suddenly buzzed. Hu1npy's hands grabbed the various instruments. Quickly he decodified the message. Runaway--Em gine-Coming Down-Grade. . . Fast-Rate. . . Clear-Track. The town of Dublin was situated at the base of a steep mountain in a small valley or dip g a small rise then had to be crossed in order to leave Dublin Valley and enter Grass Valley. Humpy quickly made connections with the telegraph station at Reedley out in Grass Valley. To his dismay the special train had passed Reedley just thirty-seconds previously. I must do something, he muttered. Gosh! he said suddenly after calculating for a few minutes, They'll arrive here at the same time in a head-on crash. I must do something, he repeated as he walked out of t-he station. His eyes rested on a ten gallon can of lubricating oil on the back of a. Ford truck standing in the station garage. A plan no sooner entered his head than he started to carry it out. He hurriedly limped to the old model 'T' , turned the ignition switch and pressed the starter. The motor started wit-h a roar known only to Henry Ford's cars. The runaway was now coming down the grade with tremendous speed. Humpy drove alongside the tracks and applied the brakes. He crawled on the ,back .of the truck and, as the mighty monster c ioarmg on towards him, used the last ounce of strength in his baclinig roll the can of oil to the edge of the truck. He punctured the lid of the can with a spike and let the can fall on the tracks, splashing the oil on the rails. The locomotive's wheels hit the oil. They stopped spinning and started to skid. The engine lost all its momentum and was unable to make the small grade which led out into Grass Valley. In the meantime, the special train made the grade to enter Dublin Valley. Seeing the former runaway in their path, the engineer of the special jammed the brakes on and stopped before he reached the runaway. Humpy learned that the special train contained, not the inspectors, -qv MISSION 1935 41 but the president of the railroad and his eighteen year old daughter. An operation straightened Humpy's back and a few weeks vacation with the president's family brought him romance with the president's daughter. T' James Dori' decided his name could truly be changed from Humpy to Lucky Jim. John Travaille '36 Ripon of Old In the early '60s no one had ever heard of Ripon, which was then but a nameless village consisting of a few widely separated houses. It boast-ed no post-officeg mail was brought in from the little railway sta- tion of Morrano, three miles away. There was scarcely room for two vehicles to pass on the narrow wagon road which served as a main street. About the village on every hand grain was plantedg that land as yet un- cultivated was a sandy waste covered with sage-brush and cactus. The railroad had not yet been built-those going on trips rode on a stage-coach drawn by horses. They crossed Stanislaus River by means of iViurphy's Ferry. . In 1882 a branch of the Southern Pacific railroad was constrrcled through town. W. H. Hughes, one of the early settlers, gave them a right-of-way and depot site. The village was then given the name of Stanislaus Crossing. Some time later a man called A. B. Crook established a little grocery store in the town, the first built there. It was he who, not liking the name of Stanislaus Crossing, renamed the town Ripon after his birth- 1.lace in Wisconsin. Perry C. Yaple, another early settler, burned the bricks for most of the first buildings erected. The bricks for the McKee and Reynolds building, which still stands, were burned by him. In 1884 the Wognens Improvement Club was formed, for the purpose of caring for the cemetery. They also started a movement for raising funds with which to build the first church. Those were the pioneer days. Since that time the little village has progressed. The main street, once a narrow dirt road, lined with hitching racks, is now a modern paved road. The town bears little resemblance to the straggling village of yore-Stanislaus Crossing. For this, pioneers oi' old Ripon, we have you to thank. Vera Bonnet '35 A Football Broadcast Chl Oh! Tl191'6,S a man out in the openg he crosses the fifty mile line, the forty-five, the forty. Paul Bunyan starts after him, taking a mile at each mighty stride. Now Paul poises himself for the tackle. What a poise, ladies and gentlemen. With his seventeen feet of towering masculinity, Paul dives for the ball carrier--no, he has fallen. It's his shoe strings, friendsg they are broken and he is unable to continue. Time out. And now ten strong men are bringing out a cowhide to make our hero some new shoe strings. While they are engaged at this colossal task, I will try to give you an idea of this stadium. It is one hundred miles long and forty-five s if at it Ili f ' 1 J X, Z... -- fr 4 lf .1 xi X u f I V if ! fm.- If l,' 42 MISSION 1935 miles wide. The turf is a solid mat of cactus vines. The reason cactus vines are used is that the men will spend most of the time on their feet instead of their seats. The bleachers are monstrous, but they need to be for this amazing crowd from Ripon. Time is still out, it was necessary to go back for more cowhide. Incidentally the football being used today is made of twelve cowhides stretched around a boulder. Paul is on fhis feet again, he puts his helmet on, the -bell of a double B tuba serves as his helmet. He pulls up his pants which are made from the hides of twenty-four elephants, and require the whole team to help 'him put on. Time in. On the play that Paul broke his shoe strings, 6432 people were thrown from their seats by the sheer force of his fall. The ball carrier fum-bled, and now Paul's team is once more in possession of the gigantic pigskin. Time flies, friends, and soon the game will end. Can Paul save the day? If Babe the Blue Ox were there, he could rely on her to kick the points to win, but, unfortunately, she is not. A long pass is all that can save the day. Paul calls for a pass. The ball is centered to him, he runs back, back, back ten miles, and still back he runs. And now he releases a tremendous throw. Up into the atmos- phere it goes, and then the stratosphereg now it straightens itself and heads for the eager receiver forty-five miles down the field. What a perfectly executed play, but no, the ball has stopped in mid-air. It struck the mosquito-bee pals Bum and Bill, and now in their eagerness to assist Paul, they are bringing the ball back to him again. Great Scott, there goes the gun to end the game, but remember, the ball is still in play. Bum and Bill, poor misguided friends, have now returned the ball to Paul: he has not the heart to tell them they probably lost him the game. But Paul has been thinking, my friends: he has not been crying over hard luck. Paul no sooner receives the ball, than he throws himself on the ground and rolls toward the opponent's goal. Oh dear, what brains that Paul Bunyan does have. Eight players are sucked into the cyclonic swirl of his roll, but still he rolls on. He is nothing now but a whirr-haze. His roll has carried him over the goal line, the game is won. It matters little to Paul that his roll has carried him on through the mammoth goal posts, smashing them to splinters. He has won. the game. Deward Tornell '36 Luck - The sun had gone down, leaving the room in semi-darkness. It was a large room dark-panelled, mahogany-finished. Deep Oriental rugs cov- ered the floor and fine mahogany furniture was so arranged as to make it very comfortable. At the side opposite the door, just in front of the fireplace, stood a flat-topped, beautifully-polished desk. Behind the desk sat a man, very stately in appearance. He wore a dark, double-breasted suit which seemed to set off his face and head. The dark hair, graying at the temples, seemed to lend dignity to him. As he finished straightening the papers on the desk, he leaned back in his chair. Opening the drawer of pearl-handled pistol. He took a last look at the room. He had always liked his office. It seemed so home-like. Well, in a day the desk, he took from it a small or two some other man would be -2 ' MISSION U 1935 43 behind this desk. He would be gone. Tomorrow morning when John the janitor came in he would be surprised for he, Hansen, would still be there. But his presence would be in body only--out of his misery--his torments of life--forever. James Hansen, his uncle and boss, was coming tomorrow. Well, his life insurance would make up the forty-thousand the books said went to the bank--but didn't! No, no more worrying about that--or anything. Marion, his daughter, would be well-cared for. She would get most of his policy after the de- ficit was p-aid up. Frances, his wife--oh, well! She would be married again in less than a year, at least, and she wouldn't care much. Marion was the only one he cared for, really. It might hurt her social position, her father having committed suicide, but that couldn't be helped. He raised the gun to his temple. Gosh, the muzzle was cold! Oh, well, he might as well have it over with. He raised the pistol again to his temple. K-nock! Knock! He thought everyone had gone by this time. Who could this be? He slipped the gun into the drawer again. Come in, he called. The door opened and a boy of about fifteen came in--Jimmy the office boy. Telegram for you, sir, he said, holding out a yellow envelope. Thanks, responded Hansen, reaching for the message. Taking the letter opener from the desk, he ripped the envelope open. Extracting the telegram, he unfolded the missive. The boy turned and started toward the door. Anything else tonight, Mr. Hansen, he questioned. There was no reply. He turned to look at his employer. What was wrong with him? He 'had fallen a little forward on the desk. The boy ran back to him. Picking up the missive he read, Washington, D. C. May 2, 1935. 4.20 P. M. James Hansen died 3:27 P. M. today. One hundred thousand yours by will. ' Arthur Huff The man had fainted over such news. Jimmy picked up the telephone and called Dr. McKensey. Then 'he ran for a towel and water. He wet the towel and laid it on Hansen's face. Soon he heard a knock and ran to the door to let the doctor in. They hurried into Hansen's office and the doctor bent over the body. Dead, he murmured, after a rapid examination. Dead, cried the boy in sudden fright. X Yes, heart failure, my son, was the quiet response. Tate Hutchins '35 NX grf' .1 T the time of the early settlement in this vicinity, Ripon was called Stanislaus City, or Stanislaus Crossing, because of its location near the Stanislaus River. There being no bridges across the river at this point, travelers had to take a flatboat, or ferry, when Wishing to cross. One of these flatboat crossings was known as lVIurphy's Ferry. The old boat can still be seen in times of low Water, partly submerged in the sand. amen I-. Lab. ly.

Out of six games played, the Indians won 5 and lost 1. Ray Leal, catcher on the team, was the most consistent player with his heavy hitting and all-round playing. Tornell pitched fine ball most of the season, helping to win games. He pulled the team through p-inches with long hits, on several occasions.

The interclass games were hard-fought among the four classes this year with no team absolutely centain of success. All the scores were close, with the seniors taking the lead, juniors second and sophomores third. P Out of the four classes, a varsity volleyball team was selected. This team challenged the faculty. The two teams we-re so well matched it seemed the scorekeeper lost track of the exact figures. It was known to everyone at school that the faculty took the honors. Then be-fore the week ended, an announcemnt was made that the final score was 16 to 14 in favor of the varsity. Whichever team won, it cannot be said that one played a better game than the other. SPEEDBALL Josephine Winters, manager Speedball has not been one of the major sports for many years, but is now generally accepted by all the girls. Interclass games were played off soon after the practice games began. Once more the seniors were proud to claim first place. The juniors, sophomores and freshmen tied for second. BASKETBALL Phyllis Gritton, manager Basketball was a sport enjoyed by all. There was much discussion as to who would win the interclass games. In the junior-senior play-off, the juniors made all their baskets during the first half of the game. They took the game by two points. To everyone's surprise, the freshmen took the game from the juniors. The-n the excitement began when the seniors and freshmen faced each other. During the first half, the freshmen kept the seniors guessing, but the latter never once lost faith in their ability and finally won the game. The season ended with the seniors and freslilmen tied for first, while the sophomores took second and juniors, tiir . The varsity basketball team met the College of Pacific at the college gym in Stockton. All through the game the excitement was great. First the college seemed to take the leadg then Rip-on would score to make a X Q. xi I it if 1 ily!! I 1 .1 f IZ! 50 MISSION 1935 tie or forge ahead into the lead. With two minutes to go, the .score was tied and both teams put forth all their efforts to win. The final score, though, was 18 to 14 in favor of the College of Pacific. The winning team said it was the best game they had ever played and the Ripon girls felt likewise. BASEBALL A June Day, manager The last major sport played was baseball. The juniors took the first game from the seniors with a high score. But those freshmen! They took a game from both the sophomores and juniors. CThe other games have not been played as yet.J TRACK Vera Bonnet, manager A track ,meet was held this spring for the girls who were interested. Many participated and are looking forward to another event of its kind. The activities were: standing broad jump, running broad jump, one hundred yard dash, relay, baseball throw for accuracy, and basketball throw.
