TI-IE MISSIGN FREDA HARGROVE, Editor BRYCE STETLER, Bus. Mgr. THE MISSICDN1946 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT BODY RIPON UNION HIGH SCHOOL ' RIPON, CALIE. PAUL R. DENTON DEDICATICDN The Class of '46 feels particularly honored that it should be their privilege to dedicate their issue of the Mission to Mr. Denton on the occasion of his retirement. Nothing we could say would be half as expressive as Mr. Denton's own words which we present below. ADIEU It is with mingled emotions that I say farewell to Ripon I-Ii and the teaching profession. I shall not regret the querulous alarm clock that has impelled me to rise and rush forth to meet the 8:15 daily school dead-line: I shall not regret the miles of algebra, geometry, trig, and French papers that have passed beneath my red pencil. I confess that late spring and early summer have always found me somewhat weary of my profession and longing for an indefinite vacation. Each fall has just as surely seen me facing enthusiastically back to school, eager to mingle again with students and faculty. I deeply regret that henceforth my life will no longer vibrate to the life, the loves, the laughter, the struggles, the triumphs of Ripon Hi, and I shall have to work hard at the job of finding compensa- tions. Perhaps I'll find time to read some of the books for which I have not found time. Perhaps some of the trips I have dreamed of will mater- uialize. Whatever I do, or wherever I go, I shall never forget this kindly community that has been my home for twenty-four years, nor the friendly cooperation of trustees, faculty, and students. My interest and sincere good wishes for its prosperity and progress will ever follow Ripon Hi. Paul R. Denton. FQREWQRD .... Our theme of Mathematics is a perfectly natural companion for the dedication of this book. We had to scratch our respective heads to think of ways to work it out so that it would fit in with the normal make-up and style of the book. We hope we have done it in a Way that will be pleasing to you. lt has been work, Yes, but at the same time a lot of fun. It has been difficult to find time to get all the little odds and ends taken care of properly tat least we hope properlyl. The completion of the work on the book makes us realize how near we are to the end of our high school days. As freshmen, it seemed as though this time was ages and ages in the future. Now that we have arrived the past four years seem to have gone all too quickly. May next year's staff have as much fun as this one did! Ill nu I ll!

LILA BUCK Secretary ADMINISTRATICDN The fact that the personnel of our board of trustees, as Well as our principal and vice-principal, has remained unchanged for a number of years makes it difficult to say anything new about our administration. All concerned are gen- uinely interested in the constant improvement of the school, and in providing satisfying conditions for both the student body and the faculty. The board does its work so smoothly, efficiently, and quietly that most of the time we even forget it exists. Mr. Stouffer's office is open to the students at all times. The friendly atmos- phere therein is an ideal place for students to bring both their troubles and their joys. You can be sure they do both. Mr. Stouffer's sympathetic understanding of young people is a real asset to the school. It was principally through the efforts of the administration that the district was sold on the idea of a special tax to provide for a program of building and remodelling, and a thoroughly modernized school is in prospect for the students a few years hence. BOARD OF TRUSTEES E A TORNELL I. R. WILLIAMS A. V. CHASE MRS. W. A. FARSCHON E. LEMOS --fM3E!'5'?i ts FACULTY Ripon Hi welcomed four new teachers this year to replace those who left us at the end of last year. Mrs. Edith Zelaya took charge of the English department, Miss Sara lane Strackbein the commercial department, Mr. Eric lacobsen the boys' P. E., and Mr. Melvin Weyand the mu- sic department. Naturally, we held our breath a bit, at first, but soon found that all fitted very nicely into our comparatively harmonious school life. Although all departments do not have com- petitive activities, those that do provide an indi- cation of the caliber of work that is characteristic of the faculty as a whole. Mr. Poletti continues to produce state debate champions, as well as to sponsor a type of student body government that has created great interest among other schools. Our athletic department, under Mr. Iac- obsen and Mr. DeSelle, made a good showing, particularly in View of the limited number of boys available for the various sports. Mr. Wey- and has apparently found some new vitamin complex to feed the music students, for the de- partment has. made wonderful progress this year. Many useful items, made in the shop under the direction of Mr, DeSelle, find their Way into numerous homes of the students. Of equal in- terest are the varied items-gifts and otherwise -that take shape in the art department. Mr. Kingery is still tops when it comes to making real farmers out of the boys in Ag. Mrs. Bruner is so efficient in her home Ec. work that one of her students contracted for a job of real honest- to-goodness home-making soon after school is out. tBest wishes, Eleanorll Miss Strackbein keeps the office and faculty supplied with steno- graphers. Mr. Arganbright's biology students know all about grasshoppers and frogs, while his chemistry students have become experts at producing bad odors. i..,i E s 'E ROBERT ARGANBRIGHT Biology Chemistry Physics General Science Iournalisrn N, s A x PAUL DENTON Mathematics French i ERIC IACOBSEN General Arithmetic lunior Business Physical Education ERNEST POLETTI Debate Civics Social Problems United States History Public Speaking MELVIN WEYAND Band Orchestra Glee Club EDITH ZELAYA English SENIOR OFFICERS BACK ROW: Lesher, Stetler, l-loltrust.

CRADUATES This year's B.T.O.'s Cthe Senior Class, of coursell were headed by the following officers: president, Freda Hargroveg vice-president, Caleb Alldrinp secretary-treasurer, Bryce Stetler. By midterm these officers had proven themselves very capable, so were promptly re-elected. As usual the great event of the year was the traditional Senior Ditch Day. A snow-line trip was planned with transportation to be furnished by the use of individual cars. Due to the lack of snow in the nearby hills we had to travel to the Badger Pass Ski Lodge in Yosemite. The date proved to be well-chosen, with good weather dominating. During this most memorable occasion, numerous incidents occurred. There were the usual snow tights, the busy camera fans having a gay old time, the deer in the park, and the would-be skiers. Some of the more ambitions characters even went so far as to try to roll a huge boulder over a cliff with automobile jacks. Though this did not succeed, the jacks were later put to use when one of the cars encountered some tire trouble. After everyone had his till ot the snow, the cars drove down into the valley at Yosemite and enjoyed the various picturesque sights. When the time tor departure arrived everyone had the satisfaction of a day well spent. Normal school activities during our first three years were greatly restricted by wartime conditions. Although reconversion was not com- plete during our final year, we found things much more to our liking. The gardenia was selected as our class flower, and blue and white the class colors. During the first two years of our blessed existence at this institution we were honored by having as our advisers the most capable Mr. Argan- bright and Miss Morosoli. Later when Miss Morosoli moved away we were honored by the presence ot Miss Place in her position. We of the Class of '46 will be one ot the smallest graduating classes of late years. Four of our members have dropped out to join the service. -xx lb- CALEB ALLDRIN Censored!

W? w l i The big day-Senior Ditch Dayl ln true traditional style we Went to the snow line. And still according to tradition, we spent more time on our -er, I mean, on the ground than we did on our feet. There were the usual spills, bumps, and snow fights. Fortunately, we avoided some of the usual accidents of a more serious nature. A little tire trouble helped keep things normal. This Was, for us, one of the major events of the year, and will be pleasantly remembered tor years to come. TOP ROW: Houbeirx, Crane, Saabye, Brooks, I-linkson, Swain Morgan.

BOTTOM ROW Nicolaysen, Levin, Call- er: George, Luis, Schut, JUNIORS The slick chicks and Van lohnsons of Ripon High School tnamely, the Iuniorsl started the year off by electing as class officers for the first semester: president, Howard Saabyeg vice-president, Robert Grunskyp secretary-treasurer, Eleanor Anderson, Fred Callsen and Sheldon Nicolaysen were elected to rep- resent our class in Congress. Our first party of the year was held in November. The auditorium was filled with Iuniors who seemed to have quite a gay time. Elections for the second semester officers were held and the following officers were elected: president, Eleanor Andersony vice-president, Margaret Slater, secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Nelson. We also discovered that a sergeant-at arms was an absolute necessity so Dorothy Lanting was chosen for this position and had the able assistance of our adviser, Mr. DeSelle. May 3 was the date for the luniors to play host to the Seniors in what we con- sidered one of the best Iunior-Senior Proms ever held. The theme was that of an old-fashioned garden and the auditorium was appropriately decorated. Alto- gether, it was a very memorable event and one that will be remembered tor years to come. We are establishing a class history which we hope will compare with the best. Both in the classroom and in extracurricular activities, luniors are to be found among the leaders. During the first semester this year, eight of the eleven members of C.S.F. were Iuniors, and the second semester showed seven out cf eighteen to be luniors. We contributed our full share to football, basketball, and drama. Class activities are noted for the efficiency of their management. Teamwork would seem to be the keynote that marks our every act. Mrs. Edith Zelaya was our new adviser this year. l .Q 1 tadviserl. Whitmore. SOPI-IOMORES The first semester ofiicers oi the Sophomore Class were: president, Buddy Pichettog vice-president, Ardell Heaton, secretary-treasurer, Bob Nelson: con- gress representatives, lim Farschon and Norma Hoff. A very efficient committee composed of lim Parschon as chairman, Ardell Heaton, and Melvin Kingsley, was appointed to initiate the Freshmen. The main initiation was held in iront oi the student body. But all day, oddly enough, Freshmen were seen bowing in front oi the Sophomores and repeating, Allah be praised to the Sophomore Class. ln lanuary several of the Sophomores were seen limping to and from classes. The reason was the Sophomore Roller Skating Party. lt was quite a success, with refreshments at the school afterwards. But ohl! the next day! The Sophomores who were given the honor oi being officers for the second semester were: president, lacaueline Kincaid: vice-president, Elizabeth Ter- heydeng secretary-treasurer, Peggy Gibbonsg and, since Congressman Norma Hoii had moved, Marcella Mulholland was elected to take her place. Being in our second year at high school we are becoming more confident in ourselves and are participating in many school activities. Also, through the Sophomore Representatives in Congress, the class is taking an active part in the school government. Next year when we are big, big Iuniors, the Iunior-Senior Prom will be up to us. For this reason we are planning a money-raising activity. As yet the type oi activity has not been decided upon. We wish to thank our advisers, Mrs. White, Mr. Poletti, and Mr. Iacobsen, tor their help and patience with us in the past year, and we will try to be a credit to them in the future. ' ers, McKenzie.

FRESHMEN lt was one day last September when we, the class oi 49, enrolled as Fresh- men in Ripon High School. Wherever one looked, there was a Freshman-- eighty-four oi us, the largest Freshman class Ripon High has had. Our iirst meeting began in the usual way by electing the following officers: president, Acy Page: vice-president, Iohn Bynumg secretary-treasurer, Dale Tornell. Ioan Kingery and Danny Harp represented the Freshman Class in Congress. We all awaited the great day when the Sophomores initiated us. The student body had many laughs when some of us dressed in diapers, and others pushed a nut around the study hall with their noses, and a few swept the stage with tooth brushes. Our first class party was a skating party held in Modesto. Although a lot of us were mapping the floor rnost of the time, we really had a swell time. The bus brought us back to school where hot chocolate and hot-dogs were waiting for us, and it wasn't long before they disappeared. The second semester was in full swing and another election was held. The results were: president, Donald Gasawayp vice-president, losephine Ballatorep secretary-treasurer, Evangelyn Alldrin. Since we were limited to two parties a year, our last one was planned, but since this report had to be made before it was held, we cannot tell you much about it. We want to thank our advisers, Mrs. Bruner and Mr. Weyand, for helping us make our Freshman year enjoyable and remembered. 1 new-v nz Lu -mm U uh 4-U xx, n lr. ru... um....4n.1 mln--.:.ur.1 r- nf-1-W .

STUDENT GOVERNMENT CABINET Under the leadership of Clarence Vandenberg, Student Body President, the Cabinet met twice a month to discuss the activities and problems for which it is responsible. One of the most important subjects discussed was the need for a bigger and stronger police force. A few changes were made and a greater police force installed. Other subjects discussed and acted upon by the Cabinet during the year were: programs, rallies, assemblies, and dealings with other schools. se s CONGRESS With Sheldon Nicloaysen as Speaker, Con- gress has put in a year ot much discussion and profitable experience by its members. New amendments and bills were presented, some passed and others did not. Mr. Irwin, a traveling secretary for junior Statesmen, appeared before the Congress sev- eral times and delivered very enlightening speeches on the activities of the junior States- men of America. Several of our Congressmen attended a Iunior Statesmen Convention in San Francisco during the first semester of the year. At this convention they learned how our government operates. All of them seemed to enjoy it greatly. SUPREME COURT With Bryce Stetler as Chief Iustice, and four associate justices, the Supreme Court has done a commendable job of trying cases for offenses against the Student Body Government. They tried every case with all fairness and justice possible. C. S. F. Look at this Lucky Eleven. Yes, that was the number of members in the California Scholar- ship Federation for the first semester. The ofii- cers Were: president, Marie Holtrustp vice-presi- dent, Sheldon Nicolaysenp secretary-treasurer, Bettie Roberts: social chairmen, Eleanor Ander- son and Eleanor George: and congressmen, El- vira Hermansen and Thelma Mondon. With a few eliminations and additions, our second semester activities got under Way under the leadership of president, Sheldon N icolaysenp vice-president, Elvira Hermansenp secretary- treasurer, Peggy Gibbons: social chairmen, El- eanor Anderson and Bettie Roberts, congress- men, Elvira Herrnansen and Eleanor George. With the capable leadership of our adviser, Mr. Arganbright, we had a year of interesting activities, such as attending a convention in Turlock, visiting a university for a day, and of course, parties.

GIRLS' LEAGUE The Girls' League is more than just a league of girls. lt has an active part in the promotion of a Well-governed and well-planned school year. The most important job is sponsoring and giving parties. This year the Girls' League had four major entertainments. First was the dance in january featuring an Indian theme. A juke box furnished music for several enjoyable hours. Second was a successful hot dog sale which satisfied many appetites. Third was a movie sponsored by the league, The Affairs oi Susan. Last, but definitely not least, was the Mother and Daughter Banquet which went over in a grand way. Everyone who contributed to the success of this year's Girls' League deserves a pat on the back. Sigma Beta Tau, more commonly known as the Commercial Club, started the year off by electing the following officers: president, La- Moine Cook: vice-president, Aina Eastburgg sec- retary-treasurer, Dennise Boome. Evelyn Ennis and Bettie Roberts were elected to Congress. On March 8, 1946, four little Seniors, with Miss Strackbein as chaperon, enjoyed a tour of the big business houses in San Francisco. All had SICMA BETA TAU a good time and came back tired but happy. In the spring the club had a picnic and swim- ming party. The picnic was attended by the usual crowds of ants and flies but we didn't mind at all. After we had stuffed to the limit on our picnic lunch we rested an hour or two and then took to the water. We enjoyed the party, even though our sunburnt noses and backs were quite painful. Living up to their motto We Serve, the Iunior Bed Cross had a full year of doing just that. For the benefit of the wounded soldiers, these members made sixty pairs ot bedroom slippers, and with the assistance of the Art Department completed an assortment of five hundred Christ- mas cards to till San Francisco's urgent quota.

J UN IOR RED CROSS was the capable leadership of its officers. As president, Bernice Mohler aided the association greatly with her advice. She was assisted by Vice-president Dolores Este-ves, Secretary-Treas- urer Bettie Roberts, and Congressmen Aina East- burg and Margie Wilbur. Another successful year of Bed Cross work is accomplished and now to be included in the past record. MISSION The Mission staff started off their work with a bang by choosing the Windiest day of the year for taking the pictures. But in spite of the wind, the pictures Weregood enough to please even the critical Mission staff. Under the capable leadership of our editor, Freda Hargrove, and the assistant co-editors, Eleanor Anderson and Elvira Hermansen, the Work on the Mission began. Bryce Stetler, bus- iness manager, and his assistant, Fred Callsen, did a grand job of handling the business end of the work. Dennise Roome filled her position as staff secretary in a manner that was much ap- preciated by the entire staff. Of course, there was the usual scramble to get write-ups in on time, finding lost articles and typing copy. But with the excellent advising of Mr. Arganbright and the grand cooperative spirit shown by the staff, the Mission was at last sent to press. TOP ROW: Vandenberg, Alldrin, Stetler, Showers, Callsen.

Placing emphasis on the development of individual initiative, lead- ership, and acceptance of responsibilities, this course offers real opportunities to ambitious stu- dents. A new editor is appointed each quarter to give as many students as possible the exper- iences offered by that phase of the work. The class is organized on a business-like basis, and students must earn a minimum salary of C in order to hold their jobs. Editors for the first three quarters Were Freda Hargrove, Carol Shoemaker, and Bonnie Driver. Announcement of the editor for the fourth quarter was not available before going to press. The representative to Congress was Evelyn Silva. The debaters did all right for the old school this year by winning two statewide tourna- ments. Sheldon Nicolaysen and Marie Holtrust added two trophies to the collection in Room 3 by taking lst place in Upper Division in the Sacred Heart and Lion's Club contests. lim Far- schon and Ardell Heaton added another when they won first place in the Lower Division of the Lion's Club Tourney. Iackie Kincaid and Ioy St. lohn made a fourth contribution when they DEBATE annexed the second place trophy of the Lower Division at Sacred Heart. This year we bid farewell to one of the finest feminine debate artists we have had, Marie Hol- trust, who rose from the ranks to become one of California's leading contenders in the forensic field. ' This year marks Coach Poletti's ninth season at Ripon during which time his teams have an- nexed thirteen titles in statewide tournaments. At the first G.A.A. meeting, as is the usual custom, we elected officers. The following girls were elected by the membership into their res- pective offices: president, Aina Eastburgp vice- president, Adelaide Gomes: secretary-treasurer, La Moine Cook, and congressmen, Loveta ln- man and Adelaide Gomes.

We really proved we belonged to the most worthy Girls' Athletic Association. . Our organization, under the able leadership of Miss Place, also welcomed a number of new members during the course of the school term. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club became quite a social organi- zation this year when Mr. Weyand recruited ten boys to sing with the group. They just about stole the show in the Christmas program with their fine singing. The highlight of the first semester's activities was the trip to San lose, made by a selected group from the Glee Club, to listen to and take notes on the outstanding A Cappella choirs of central California. During the second semester the Glee Club and the orchestra got together on roller skating and eating hot dogs and had a big time. The success of the formal spring concert was due in no small measure to the work of the Glee Club which performed again with the band. The two organizations may well have started a tra- dition with these two fine programs. Under Mr. Weyand's direction the Glee Club has taken great strides toward becoming a fine organization capable of competing on equal terms with any choir in the valley. CBCHESTBA The orchestra this year has developed into quite an interesting ensemble under the capable direction of Mr. Weyand. Along with the play- ing of the music, the students have been led in discussions of the music, the instruments of the orchestra, and the particular difficulties in- volved in playing them. Several of the players of the orchestra were chosen to perform at the Band and Orchestra Clinic in San lose, December 8, l945. Those who represented our organization there were: Bar- bara Lesher, Freda Hargrove, Horace Huse, Angie and Adelaide Gomes. - Another honor that came to certain members of the orchestra was the opportunity to play in the festival orchestra in Stockton, which was made up of selected players from the high schools of Northern San loaquin Valley. Stu- dents from our school who participated were: Dale Tornell, Barbara Lesher, Freda Hargrove, Horace Huse, Angie and Adelaide Gomes. The highspot of our season at school was the playing of the incidental music for the annual school play. Our social activities were not neglected, for the orchestra and glee club got together on a skating party and hot dog feast. BAND Ripon has the best band in the 'whole league this year, one admiring Escalon student was heard to remark at the Big Game! And it's no wonder because the band was developed into a swell group of 62 pieces by their- new instruc- tor, Mr. Melvin Weyand, who was readily ac- cepted by the members of the band when they first met him. They marched and played for every football game of the season, gave two formal concerts, took part in the Northern Cali- fornia festival in San lose, made a tour to near- by counties playing for gramr schools and ended up their season , ' ' .ioth Bacca- laureate and Graduation. Three members of the band participated in the High School Band and Clinic in San lose in December. Students participating were: Dale Tornell, Elvira l-lermansen and Eulys Morgan. Another selected group played in the Festival Band in Stockton in April. ln this group Were: Evangelyn Alldrin, loan Kingery, Peggy Gib- bons, lda Mae German, Violet Milldrum, Francis lorgensen, Marilyn Brooks, Albert Veldhuizen, Floyd Cover, and Bob Nelson. Although the band had an especially busy and exciting year they did not neglect their social activities. During the first semester they had a roller-skating party. The second semester an ice-skating party and a super hay-ride were enjoyed by the band. k i 5: L. Q X 'gf if EE 2 E L ass ,E P X ' '5 , . , :L 2' f' f' 55 3 infix ' 'Ya HQ X -if fr ,:C',g:: Q.

Because of the discontinuation of gas rationing We were able to make various field trips. Our enrollment was only about forty-five, twenty of Whom were freshmen. W We plan to go to San Luis Obispo to the state judging contest if enough students enroll for judging. There are four different classes which We are judging: dairy cattle, poultry, livestock, and farm mechanics. We are also planning to go to the Davis Picnic Day. ln April a project tour was made to various students' places whose projects were out- standing. Caleb Alldrin Went to San Luis Obispo Where he was elected vice-president of the Central Region. The first semester officers went to an officers' training school at Tracy, where they received instructions in the proper handling of their re- spective duties.

Her choice was that of a murder mystery entitled They Did Away With Uncle. After many days of try-outs, the following cast was chosen: Avery Wolvington fthe rich unclel, Bryce Stetlerp Joseph fhis butlerl, Sheldon Nicol- aysen: Miss Verling fa trained nursel, lacquel- ine Kincaid, Bruce Donnelly CAvery's nephewl, Vaden Gazawayp Alexandra Corneil fan ac- iressl, Elvira Hermanseng Iune fAlexandra's young sisteri, Geraldine Vierrag Ben Arnold, Ir. la young explorerl, Eulys Morgan: Glenda Trav- ella CAvery's niecei, Eleanor Anderson: Annette Ca French -rnaidl, Betty Roberts: Sheriff Rollo, Caleb Alldrin, Winnie fRol1o's wifel, Aina East- burg. - . The flats for the play were made by Caleb Alldrin, Alta Mae Sand and Bernice Mohler. Alta Mae was also in charge of the make-up. The stage managing was handled by Darwin Pichetto and Clarence Vandenberg. Publicity was handled by Ardell Heaton. Tickets and ushers were taken care of by Marjorie Wilbur. Bob Palmaymesa was sound effects man. The prompters were Ardell Heaton and Peggy Gibbons. . Mr. Wolvington is avvery rich dying man who tries to divide his money between his five nieces and nephews whom he has never seen. One person of every generation of his family was affected by insanity, and his plans were to will his entire estates to the niece or nephew who was insane, as was he. The events that followed involved every, player in the cast and left the sheriff with-two very puzzling murders to solve. . After full cooperation from all, the play went over a big hit. The community was completely dazed at the amazing conclusion of the play. lf football photographers could only order weather to their liking, there would certainly be some changes made. The usual cloudy weather is definitely not to their liking. We got quite a few pictures this year, but most of them weren't worth the film that was used on them. Basketball turned out to be a little better. We had thought we might be able to identify the games in each picture, but didn't have time to keep the records straight, so that idea was dropped. a I-XTHLWILTICS W 49 . COACHES lacobsen, Place, DeSelle. COACHES Our athletic department was handled very ca- pably during l945-1946 by Coaches lacobsen, DeSelle, and Place. Coach lake, as he is better known, has come to us fresh from the Army and has really put the boys through their paces. With all his past experience he is a great help to the boys. Being a C.O.P. graduate makes him less a stranger in these parts. Our A basketball squad., which are lacobsen's problem children, placed second in the League, while the B's were in there pitching. Football and track were also under his supervision. Coach DeSelle, the old-timer, was out there showing the little C's and D's how. They made all his effort worth- while by the D's nabbing the championship and the C's losing by only one game. The girls were under the leadership of Miss Place. lnterclass games of basketball, volleyball and such were enjoyed by everyone in general.

Their work consisted ot making out schedules tor all the interclass games and seeing that the games were run smoothly. Lite was made easier for the coaches during the various sea- sons ot inter-school sports by these managers who handled the necessary equipment used by BLOCK R The Block R activities of this year were headed by the following officers: president, Caleb All- dring Vice-president, Lloyd Fuggetg secretary, Floyd Cover. A snow line party was decided on for the first activity. Except for one minor casualty, a good time was had by all. Later on in the year the Block R was host to one of the best dances of the year. the players. X is s is . i FOOTBALL After a few weeks of practice under the supervision of the new coach, Eric Iacobsen, the Ripon football team met up with its first opposing team, the Stock- ton High Iunior Varsity. At the end of the game Ripon came out on top with a score of 21 to O, which was better than had been expected. The winning of this game made the team work all the harder in practice for the next game which was with Hilmar. This Hilmar team was supposed to be tough, and they were, but Ripon was just as tough. As the final gun went off Ripon was at I-Iilmar's back door ready to score, but the game turned out to be a tie. Then along came Hughson, a-rarin' to beat Ripon, but the tide was changed as Ripon came out with a score of 13 to O after a hard-fought game. This victory put Ripon at the head of the league, but all was not over as yet. Ripon's Indians had to meet Gustine on their own home field at night, and Ripon had not had any night practice. It was a cool, damp night, and Ripon fought hard, but Gustine had had night experience that helped them win. The final score was 19 to O in favor of Gustine. After this loss the Indians still had Patterson to play-another tough team. The Indians did not give up fighting, but the odds were against them and they lost by a score of I2 to 6. Then last but not least came Escalon, our principal rival of years past, and years to come. Ripon met them with lots of fight, and met much of the same. In spite of the best efforts of both teams, the game ended in a tie. Ripon had a few boys injured this year, but none seriously, so all in all, it wasn't such a bad year even if we didn't win the league championship. A' - SQUAD . ffl.. 1 f-J-4 Tl. , 'vw i' E 1 t , -1.

RIPON Ctherel BASKETBALL The A basketball team had only two hold-overs from last year's team- Iorgensen and Saabye. But four players, Vandenberg, Schut, Reiswig, and Souza, came up from last year's B's. And then Morgan came in to complete the team. The A's had a fairly successful season. We started the season out with a bang by winning four consecutive league games. The luck ran out in the fifth game, however, and we lost a game to Gustine. By losing this game, we lost our chance of taking first place in the league. But the boys weren't so easily disheartened and they stayed right in there battling. And their .efforts werer1't all in vain. We tied with l-lughson for second place. The last game of the year was played with our pet rival, Escalon. To the joy of the student body in general and the A team in particular, we really smeared them good. And so the A players went home from their last game of the season, some of them from their last high school basketball game, with happy and proud smiles. . The B team was less successful than the A's. They unfortunately lost over half of their games. But the boys showed plenty of spirit out on the court and they deserve a lot of credit for that fighting spirit. The boys of both teams held their annual basketball banquet in the high school sewing room on March 23. At this time, the awards were given out and honorary captains were elected. They are: A's -Gene Schut, and B's - Gerald Theimann. And thus, a successful season was ended. .l' r ' 4' 'L':.,l,r,,i:F4i,u.'x7TalE2,f4rtl A TEAM Iacobsen tcoachi, Schut, Fcxrschon, Fugett, Van- denberg, Saabye, Mor- gan, Iorgensen, Franzia, Souza.

The senior girls this year have been very active in all sports. Since the first game they participated in, during their high school career, the girls have been very athletic. During this year the seniors have been awarded the championship for bas- ketball, volleyball, speedball and baseball. But don't think they haven's worked for it. These girls think as much oi their interclass games as the boys do of their games. The seniors took to basketball like a duck takes to water. Due to a very small class this year the seniors did not have to take skill tests to determine who would be on the team. Instead, Miss Place tadviserl gave the seniors permission to choose their own team. Under the capable leadership of our P.E. teacher, the seniors will leave Ripon High with a feeling of victory in their hearts and smiling and trying to assure the younger students that they will have a chance with the seniors gone. Well, anyway, you can't say we aren't original! We of the junior class volley- ball, basketball, speedball and baseball teams almost made the outstanding and amazing record of not winning one competitive game during our three years in high school with twelve games each year. But sad as it may seem, We broke that record by winning a very wee number ot the games. We were indeed happy when the G.A.A. disposed of the system by which the juniors and seniors have to take skill tests and written tests in order to make a team. The G.A.A. now elects a captain from each class for each sport to choose the team with the able assistance of Miss Place. Next year as seniors we will show we have it in us by winning every game Cwe hopetl. The sophomore girls started off a very successful athletic season with the first sport of the year-volleyball. The girls kept up this record throughout basket- ball, speedball, and baseball. The teamwork shown in these games proves that by the time our senior year rolls around we will have a team to watch out for in any game. Ever since the girls entered Ripon High School last year, the talk in the gym classes and elsewhere was of the Girls' Athletic Association. All the girls started to work very hard, after finding out the qualifications, with the determination to become eligible to join. W' ith that in mind, four girls did succeed in becoming eligible by the end of the first semester, and there are many more who will be eligible by the end of the school term. The first girls to make it included Bobby Ioyce Inman, Betty Showers, Geraldine Vierra, and Jacqueline Kincaid. Our hope is that by the time we are seniors, we will have the largest membership Ripon has ever seen in the G.A.A. The freshman girls got off to a very good start this year, even though we were new to the ways of high school lite. For the first quarter we played volleyball. The girls with the highest points in skill and rules tests were on the team. Then came the games against the upper classmen. Of course, having a few years head start on us, they won them all. But that didn't dampen our spirit. For second quarter we went on to basketball with much enthusiasm shown. We felt very proud when we beat the juniors, and we came pretty close to beat- ing the sophomores. Speedball came next. This was something entirely different from any other game. But having learned the other games, we learned speedball quickly. For our last quarter as freshmen, we played softball, which is much harder than the other games we played. We not only learned the games, but we also learned team work and sportsmanship which is very important, not only in high school, but throughout all the games that are played during our lives.

MORE W SPORTS We had to change the title oi this page from the traditional Minor Sports. There was no other place tor the C and D basketball teams, and they certainly deserve to have their pictures in the book. ln addition to that, most oi the minor sports activities occur too late in the year to get in the book. The two trackmeet scenes that appear below were taken last spring. Perhaps by next year we will have a more extensive program oi minor sports that will begin earlier in the year. Speaking oi the C and D teams-aren't they a handsome bunch of brutes? We wish particularly to call the attention oi the ireshman and sophomore girls to them. There is some really promising material there ibut be careiulp they'll promise almost anything!! and you should get your claims staked out early. Most oi those boys will be in school for another two or three years, and you know the prestige it gives you to be able to drape yourself over a star athlete task Vangiell-even ii only to make the other girls envious. We didn't mean to pick out Pee-Wee tor special attention, but since we have, just look at that tcrml tMaybe we can charge him for this advertisingj lt might seem as though Bryce should get the publicity because he is a senior. But that is just why he didn't get it. lt is too late lor you to work on him now! 5: srf i ' is W. rrr dt tt wi itll- ' 3,Q,:giiflitJt W fgytrt -' ' . ' 1- ,gs .4 ,. m if ll 19.1 , .
