V t }juJi -Otw f SCHOOL L Civic Structure Filled As Record Class Gets Diplomas. A crowd of over 3500 persons jammed the main hall of the civic auditorium last night to witness the first commencement program to be held in the new structure as 385 San Jose high school seniors, the largest gi-aduating class in the school ' s history, received their di- plomes. I You can ' t fool a diploma, said High School Principal Forrest G. Murdock prior to presenting the record breaking class with its cer- tificates. It is worth exactly what you make of it. Vith the graduates banked in colorful array on the stage, the [ completely filled hall presented an ' impressive sight as the program, comprised mainlj of student talent, ran through its schedule. GRADUATES SPEAK. ' Selections by the high school or- chestra under the direction of H. S. McCurley, two numbers by the school a capella choir under Mrs. Jean Schellbach, three student solos, and three student speakers com- prised the highlights of the event.

THE BELL 1936 J A RECORD OF THE ACTIVITIES OF SAN JOSE HIGH SCHOOL PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT BODY ■ ' . i?;;. M: SL -. ' rU- ?3r : - - T . J,. ■ ' .-f- i-; DEDICATION Because she has given so much unselfish service to the high school in the capa- city of journalism advisor, because it has been largely through her efforts that the San Jose High School Herald has gained a reputation as one of the foremost school papers on the coast, and because we should like to take this opportunity to let her know how much we appreciate a ll she has done, we, the 1936 Bell Staff, dedicate this edition of the San Jose High School Annual to Miss Edith Acworth. MISS EDITH ACWORTH FORWARD Mmmmm mmaaam All of us like to look back and remem- ber the pleasant, amusing, exciting, hi- larious, and even embarrassing inci- dents of former times. In order that these memories may stand out more clearly, we, the Bell Staff, with the co- operation of the general student body and faculty, have assembled material covering the major activities of the 1935-1936 school year. If, several years from now in glancing through this book, you are able to recall some of the happy moments of your high school career, we shall feel that our efforts have been successful.

IN APPRECIATION The editing and issuing of a year-book re- quires a great deal of time and effort. With- out the aid and cooperation of the faculty, staff, and student body, this book could not have been published. To the coaches and club advisors and members in general, and in particular to Mr.Gleason, Miss Acworth, Miss Simpson, Miss Roose, Mr. Glasson, and Mr. Murdock, and to the staff, I wish to express my sincere appreciation. — The Editor BELL STAFF Editor-in-Chief Elizabeth Crow Asst.

It is during our high school careers that the course which most of us will follow throughout our lives is defi- nitely formed. Our thoughts and actions are unconsciously molded by the atti- tudes of our teachers, and it is because they have taken such an active interest in us that many of us have been given a start along the right road. FACULTY Forrest G. Murdock, Charles B. Giim,on j f iTd B Cecelia O ' Neil, Frederic, tOSIAj iL la O. Gi 4e B. Lathrop llai p ADMINISTRATION The administration offices of the San Jose High torm the center ot all activity, as most business is transacted in this part of the building. The department consists of the offices of the principal, the two vice-principals, and deans. At the office of the Principal, Mr. Mur- dock, all business of the high school is transacted. Mr. Murdock is assisted by his secretary. Miss Roose. Mr. Gleason, who has one of the very import- ant administration offices, holds the position of iirst vice-principal; assisting him is Emily Reiif , his secretary. The business of the lower classmen is car- ried on in the office of Mr. Lathrop, the second vice-principal and Miss Gil- Ian, educational advisor. The departments of the deans are the most well known to the students, for here they are aided in individual problems. Miss O ' Neil, dean of girls, serves as an advisor and friend of the girls. She lends her enthusiastic support to all student aifairs. Her efforts in aiding girls have also enabled many students to attend school who otherwise would be kept out because of financial difficulties. Mr. Shipp, the boys dean, is a great friend to the boys, for he is always able to help them out of their trouble. His work with the boys corresponds to that of the dean of girls. He works diligently in getting positions for needy boys who wish to remain in school. [19] FACULTY Forrest G.

They have studied and worked and played together for three years, and suddenly all that is ended. Some of them will go on to college, while others will enter the business or social world. Wherever they go or whatever they do, however, most of them will always cherish mem- ories of high school days. : - . r SENIORS Dan Gillham, Carl Stubenrauch, Mjry Ziinmernian, James Hood, Frank McGuire, David Atkinson, Bob Gray, Aline Brown, Margaret Greenfield, Bill Parton.

The fall senior play, New Fires, was very successful. A Senior Talent Program was also given, with members of the class stepping into the roles of the famous Jack Benny radio program. As a money-making project the class sponsored a series of milk-nickel sales. The spring class presented a most amusing comedy, Captain Applejack, which was one of their major performances. It also held a Senior Talent Day, with an excellent program displaying the talents of the class. [25] SENIORS M A m MM MAR ' iARci tUA GILLtbKit GLErNN E.

League race, the San Jose Varsity mitt ' men, captured the highly coveted pennant with little trouble and brought the Bulldogs their first championship in three years. The local willow wield ' ers had the strongest team in many seasons. Jim Paul, star twirler, who was recruited from the outbid, turned m a league no run — no hit game.

A. L. championship pennant race. The sophs have turned in a highly successful practice season, and are the first soph team to bring home a banner since 1934. [4T] SJHS A DOAN CARMODY Captain of Varsity Football VARSITY FOOTBALL Defendifig champions of the P. A. L., the San Jose Bulldogs dropped two encounters at the start of the grid season, and finished in second place tied with their age-old foes, the Sequoia Cheero- kees. With a good practice season behind them in which the Black and White eleven lost but two clashes, the Bulldogs were badly set down by Sequoia H-O in the initial fray. Injuries suffered from this conflict hindered the Garden City gridders through the remainder of the season. The follow ing week, however, they severely trounced the San Mateo Bearcats 23 ' 0. The championship Burlingame Panthers checked the San Jose pennant 7 ' 6 in a hotly contested struggle. In its final game, due to a last quarter score via the aeriel route, San Jose defeated the highly touted Palo Alto eleven, 6 ' 0. Tom Murphy, sparkling Irish quarterback, made the all P. A. L. team for the second consecutive year, being the only Bulldog to place on the first squad. Second team members were Captain Doan Carmody, sturdy tackle; and Jack Mortensen, star punter. [46] 19 3 6 PETE KMETOVIC Captain of Sophomore Football SOPHOMOR6 FOOTBALL For the third year Coach Bill Mar- tin ' s Sophomore BuUpups have captured the P. A. L. race, and what makes the victory more remarkable still is the fact that sophomore football has been in existance only three turf seasons. The BuUpups were the only San Jose team to finish first in any of the major sports. The locals opened the season by trimming Sequoia 20-0 and a week later trounced San Mateo by the same score. Next they trampled and crushed Burlingame 39-0 and then went on to capture the title by defeating Palo Alto 18-7. The sophs as a team were a rugged defensive and flashy offensive unit. There was a co- ordination of both backfield and line that kept the local ' s foes in misery throughout every quarter of active combat. The BuUpups were captained by Pete Kmetovic, flashy halfback and leading scorer of the team. Al Wool, the other half, did both punting and converting, while Bill Amann, full- back, and Don Griffin, quarter, played an important part in ball pack- ing. Outstanding linemen were Charles Taylor, Darrell Swagerty, and Willis Boyarsky. [47] SJHS TOP ROW: Jerry Nelson, Vernon Crider, Mcrv. Willoughby, Bob Henning, Stanley Murdock, Dick Grubc, Art Nelson. BOTTOM ROW: John PARLOTO, Dick McGregor, Tom Murphy, Ed. Otis Capt.), Delbert Crummey, Vernon Gates, Bob Gray. VARSITY BASKETBALL One of the poorest unlimited cage seasons in many years was recorded by the Bulldog varsity. After a fairly good practice season in which the Black and White hoopsters won five out of eight court engagements, they were handed six defeats in the P. A. L. race. Although they won their initial league encounter from Burlingame, 32-24, the locals were later forced to forfeit the conflict because they were using an ineligible player. This was a heavy and demoralizing blow to the Garden City five, and the absence of Coach Lou Vogt tended to make mat- ters worse. The following week San Jose bowed to San Mateo 30-17 in a rough conflict. The Bulldogs next fell victim to th e South City cagers 25-20 in a nip and tuck affair that was decided in the last three minutes of play. The champion Sequoia Cherokees defeated the Bulldogs 31-21, in a contest full of fouls and frequent brawls between players. A determined Palo Alto five, by means of a last-minute hoop attack, barely nosed out the Bulldogs 19-17 in a highly exciting struggle. South City was San Jose ' s last opponent and won 34-27. Out standing local players were Captain Eddie Otis, Bob Henning, Johnny Parlato, Tom Murphy, Mervil Willoughby, Jerry Nelson, Stan Murdock, and Art Nelson. Otis, and Murphy turned in their final sea- son for the Bulldogs, and both ranked high in P. A. L. selections. Grant Taggart of San Jose State coached in the absence of Lou Vogt and turned in a splendid performance. [4S] 19 3 6 TOP ROW: James Okida, Wavrw Wilcox, Rilph Medley, Audley Barnhill, Freddy Lee, Ed. Torbri Willard Tipp- man. BOTTOM ROW: Bill Helbush, Bob Coubrough. Grcdy Harper, Bob Neidiverji: George Vamoaka, Martin Kenny, Jack Neldiver. CLASS B BASKETBALL After a spectacular practice se on, where they were handed three close setbacks, the San Jose 30 ' s were in the P. A. L. running all the way until their last two games. Bob Neidiver, cap ' tain of last year ' s 120 team, was also captain of this team. The Bulldogs opened the league season by trimming Burlingame 31 ' 24 by means of a sen ' sational fourth quarter basket bombardment. The following week the locals journeyed up the Bayshore and eked out a narrow 16-1 ' ) win over San Mateo. This was the hardest cage encounter for the black and white clad Bulldogs, and it was only because they dented the mesh in the initial stages of the fray that they won out. All this time San Jose was playing without the services of Coach Lou Vogt, who was absent on account of illness. Tragedy struck two successive blows later when they lost two encounters to South City 30-22 and to the league champion, Sequoia, 28-21. Both games were heart-breaking encounters, last minute scoring sprees winning for the opposing hoopsters. Palo Alto was the next Garden City victim when it was beaten 25-19. The Bulldogs were never heavily pressed and won easily. In their final game the locals bowed to South City 35-27 for the second time in the season. San Jose tied for third place with San Mateo in this division of the P. A. L. There were many outstanding cagers for San Jose, — namely the Neidiver brothers, Bob and Jack at forwards, and Grady Harper, Eddie Torbohn, and Eddie Heredia, reserves. Bill Helbush, rangy center, was the only player holding down the pivot position, while George Yamoaka, Mar- tin Kenney, and Freddy Lee were the local defensive aces. [49] SJHS TOP ROW: J. Tomkinson, T. Esposito, H. Lee (Cant.), R. Porter, T. Constantino, B. Reynolds. BOTTOM ROW: M. Ishikawa, C. Leone, V. Morgan, R. Pappalardo, G. Hinaga. CLASS C BASKETBALL Opening the season in championship form, the San Jose 1 20 cagers were never headed in a practice engagement, but lost their P. A. L. debut to the lowly green and red clad Vikings from Palo Alto 26-24 in an unexpected but demoralising upset. They returned the next week, however, to defeat a rugged Burlingame five 29-22 due to a speedy fourth quarter hoop attack. Hopes brightened for San Jose when it definitely outclassed the strong South City court aggregation 41-29 and went into a tie for the league race. At this point the Bulldogs luck turned, and they dropped their three remaining conference tilts by close scores. San Mateo, due to a scoring spree in the final half, nosed out the Black and White Bulldogs 34-26, and Sequoia, employing the same tactics came back a week later to defeat the Garden City cagers 23-21 in a highly exciting hoop brawl. South City, in the locals final encounter, avenged its early sea- son defeat and stopped the Garden City quintet 39-30. This division was captured by the highly touted San Mateo Bearcats, who went undefeated all season. The second place was won by South City, with San Jose and San Mateo ending in a tie for third. Outstanding local players were George Hinaga, sturdy guard, and only all P. A. L. man, Captain Harry Lee, Charles Leone, and Mitsu Ishikawa. Hinaga was key to the San Jose de- fense, while high-point honors were usually divided between Lee, Leone, or Ishikawa. Last year the local 20 ' s finished in the same position as they did this year.

BOYS ' CLASS D BASKETBALL The lOX also undefeated in practice engagements, looked like the logical successors to San Jose ' s 110 wonder team of last year. Captained by Vic Hiroshe and Vince Catania, the locals entered into the league race by chalking up three consecutive wins and leading in the pennant dash for the first halt. In the opening game the black and white clad Garden City huopsters defeated the Palo Alto Viking Babes 22-10 in an easy one ' Sided cage victory. The following week the Bull ' pup hoopsters soundly trounced a small but fighting band of Panther light ' weights from Burlingame 22-6. The black and white clad locals went a step further by eking out a close 28-23 victory over the rugged South City quin ' tet in the San Jose gymnasium. San Jose reached her peak at this stage, o N ' ever, as it dropped the three remaining tilts on its schedule. The first set- back occurred at the hands of a suprisingly strong band of San Mateo hoop- sters 21-8, in a game in Vv ' hich the locals could not get started. The following week they were barely nosed out by the league champion. Sequoia 8-7, in one of the tightest encounters witnessed upon the San Jose hardwood in many cage seasons. The final game of the season was lost to the Bullpups ' earlier victims 33-13, upon the foggy city ' s court. Vince Bellomo, crack San Jose forward, was the lone all P. A. L. choice for the league honor team. San Jose finished in a tie for third in the final standing. [51] i ' TOP ROW,. 1 Hduk, S. Murdock. X . MtUa.ml, 1 ' . Bu... S. CUrk, C. M,ir li,,ll. L. liarB iio.

U N LIM ITED TRACK Once more Coach Bill Martin has produc- ed a great unlimited track team, perhaps the strongest he has ever placed up ' on the San Jose under path. Although the Bulldogs were a trifle weak in a few field events, they were overwhelmingly strong upon the track and after a close struggle easily captured the laurels at the P. A. L. meet at Palo Alto. Led by three great sprinters, namely Harvey Brooks, who won both the 1 00 and 220 in the P. A. L. two seasons ago, and who equaled the century rec- ord this year; Pete Kmetovic, who defeated Brooks and tied the existing P. A. L. record of ten flat held by Provan and Hanks, and in practice meets took two second places, both San Jose sprinters, and Al Franklin, who in his sophomore year tied for first in the high jump around the six foot mark. Al unfortunately sustained an injury upon the gridiron which forced him out of the jumping pits, but he made up a part of the relay team along with Brooks, Kmetovic, and Ginn Chinn and Johnny Parlato. Gordon Mitchell ran the quarter mfle, whfle Harvey Brooks competed in the 220 low barriers and Kmetovic ran both the century and the furlong. Jim Taylor and Rose were San Jose ' s high hurdlers, while Ferrana and Sarris earned needed points in the shotput. Johnny Parlato and Al Franklin both tied for fourth in the high jump, while Parlato and Brooks took first and second in the broad jump. Ferrana won the discus, and Al Dutton fafled to qualify in the pole vault. The 880 and mile saw Don Lindsay, who has made close to rec- ord time in both events and who has not been headed this season, cop both events and Hal Tainter hot on his heels in the 880. The San Jose team has lost but one meet this season, and that was to the San Jose Alumni by a scant halp-point. 4 ■sS yO 1936 Li f 1 f -? ' ' VtN — ; fy ' : -- '  TOP ROW: W . iko , ■!.

The lO ' s however, brought the purple and white into first place, the first Class D victory since 1934.

Completing perhaps the most colorful and successful year in their history, the Boys ' Block S. J. society, made up solely of San Jose boys who have earned a letter in one of the major sports, opened the final February to June semester by presenting the highly hilarious Gun- gadin Review. An able successor to two preceding ' ' Bone Crusher Revues, the presentation was both an amusing and financial success. Gate receipts taken in at the single performance totaled over one hundred dollars, and every patron felt that he had received his moneys ' worth. Many new mem- bers, especially sophomores, were initiated into the organization, in the last year, but due to graduation many of the old stand-bys departed, and these boys were awarded honorary membership cards. The Boys ' Block S. J. society has put in one of the best years in the school. The members lend their assistance at football, basketball, and baseball games by patrolling the field and discouraging any attempts at rowdyi2;m on the part of students attending the games.

Each semester the students at large elect the different officers. The chairman of the council cor- responds with a student body president. The Executive Council decides on all affairs that concern the pupils. It sets aside dates for the student body dances, any other aflair such as Color Day programs, shows, and many other things. The council also sees that the students who have paid their book fee are issued student body cards. These cards admit the bearer to all student activities, such as football games, and all the remaining sports. They also admit the owner to dances unless it is otherwise stated by the council.

The boys were no longer able to come together as often for their meetings as they had formerly. However, in spite of this obstacle, the League continued to function. On various occasions meetings were held either in the quad or over at the Morris Dailey Auditorium through the courtesy of the San Jose State College. Several rallies were held in the quad at which Mr. Shipp, dean of boys, and Marvin Keever, president during the fall semester, and Doan Carmody, president during the spring semester, presided. On these occasions Bill Gray, head yell leader, led the yells. Because of the lack of proper facilities, all the burden of the League work has been thrown on Mr. Shipp and the president. On Wednesday evening, January 15, the Boys ' League held a Father and Son Get-Together Night in the Morris Dailey Auditorium. In addition to the entertainment of the even- ing, the program had a two-fold purpose: to get the boys better acquainted among themselves and to give the fathers an opportunity to meet their sons ' instructors. A varied program, consisting of stunts and musical numbers put on by the boys, was offered. Later in the evening blocks were awarded to sport men who had participated in sports during the fall semester and were eligible for them. Mr. Shipp and Doan Carmody were planning to hold a similar Father and Son Night some time in May as the Bell goes to press.

Like all other school organizations, the lower assembly has its faculty advisors. They are Mr. Murdock, Miss O ' Neil, and Mr. Shipp. The purpose of the organization is to give the general student body some voice in the government. The mem- bers have the privilege of bringing different questions and ideas to the meet ' ings and these are put b2fore the house for open discussion. After all the dis ' cussion is over, the assembly at large votes upon the suggestions or ques ' tions. The presidents carry the plans back to their registration classes, and the students have a chance to voice their opinions on the matters. If the student body members show enough enthusiasm over the question, it is then placed in the hands of the executive council and after they consider the matter fully they decide whether to hold an election or to dismiss the idea proposed. Each semester new officers are elected by the registration classes, and from among the presidents the lower assembly president, vice-president, and secretary are elected.

DANCE ORCHESTRA Presenting the currently popular dance tunes of the season at variety shows and dances the jazz; orchestra, un- der the direction of John Cooper and Forrest O ' Brien was a successful and popular organization this year. Snappy intermission numbers put on in a professional manner and good arrangements brought the orchestra an excellent reputation. [84] 19 3 6 STAGE CREW The members of the stage crew of the 193 -36 year were: Bob Friednchs, James Palmer, Ray Pritchard, Rom Murphy, Harry Nesbit, Vernon Bowers, Bill Rodrick, Bob Gray, George Fit sim- mons, and Dick Bressani. In the emergency of producing plays and variety programs without the convenience of the school auditorium the boys have carried on stage-work at other places.. James Palmer, R.iv Pritchard, H.irrv Nesbil, Tom Murphy, Bob Gr.n , Dick Bressan i DANCE COMMITTEE For the first time in many years a dance committee was organized last fall which followed a well-planned program and offered excellent entertainment to the student body. An evening dance was held every month, and, in 1936 a leap year dance was held each week at noon. Bob Freidricks was chairman of the committee, in the fall and Bill Rodrick during the spring semester.

Only those students who are recommended by three subject teachers are accepted for membership. The activities of the club are varied. Prominent business men speak at club meetings which occur twice a month on Tuesdays. The club sponsors a skating party at the local roller rink once a semester. On March 1 3 the club joined with the band an orchestra in giving a banquet and danc- ing party for one hundred and forty members and friends in the cafeteria and gym. This was one of the most successful affairs ever held. The club has the concession at football games and takes tickets at assemblies. One of the most enjoyable functions is the spring picnic, which is given jointly with the band and orchestra. Swimming, dancing, and refreshments are en- joyed by some one hundred and fifty. The Ledger is the publication put out by the Commercial Club once a semester. It includes everything of import- ance to the Commercial Department, and the staff is limited to club mem- bers. The most important event of the year is always the annual excursion. This year it took place on April 3. Fifty members had a most interesting and instructive day. [86] MUSIC and DRAMATICS 19 3 6 ACAPPELLACHOIR A Cappella, by the way, means From the Chapel. The first A Cappella choir was established in the Christian Church in the early centuries when instrumental music was forbidden as a part of the church services. The choir, therefore, sang without accompani- ment. From this fact, any choir that sings unaccompanied is given the name A Cappella. The first choir of this type in the West was formed by the College of Pacific in 1919. Since then similar groups have appeared in many western colleges and high schools. It has been building an enviable reputation through public concerts and occasional radio programs, and it has grown from sixteen to fifty-four members. During the last two semes- ters it has presented sixteen programs, among which were concerts for vari- ous service clubs, the Teachers ' Institute, the P. T. A. Convention, and the Music festival in the civic auditorium. The high school choir has been directed by Miss Eleanor Short and Mrs. Jean Schellbach since its organiza- tion by Miss Short m 1930. To the work and fun of high school life, the A Cappella Choir has helped to add another important thing — harmony. The members were Marjorie Adams, Shirleymae Andrews, Shirley Ander- son, Eleanor Bishop, Olive Ann Close, Dorothea Dameson, Janice Gladding, Geneva Gmelin, Ellen Jane Hutchins, Juanita Murdock, Frances Miller, Dorothy Parks, Ernestine Pecoraro, Lois Johnston, Georgana Ritchie, Miriam Rodgers, Iris Ruf, June Ruhl, Stella Schnabel, Katherine Sclafney, Jean Telfer, Virginia Tompkins, Jeanette Britton, Dorothy Doughty, Bar- bara Ferrin, Emma Gulmert, Betty Herman, Ann Miller, Mildred Mat- thews, C atherine Masterson, Irene McDaniel, Evelyn Mathis, Ellis Ruf, Charlotte Ruif, Bettie Rambean, Jane Sanor, Dorothy Smoker, Caroll Kennedy, jack Harcourt, Vernon Kendall, Norman Lamb, Eldon Rich, Harry Stockdale, Arlen Basile, Dick Bonce, Bill Franklin, Bill Smith, Don- ald Townsend, Everett Clark, Francis Hancock, Wilbur Simmons, Noble Walker, Harold Walters.. [89] SJHS BAND During the last two semesters, as in the past, the band has been doing its part to keep up the proverbial school spirit — and with success, too. Playing at various football and basketball games at home and abroad, (abroad including games at Stockton and Sequoia) the organiz,ation has added much pep and good music to many athletic events. Aside from school events, on such occasions as Flag Day, Memorial Day, and Armistice Day, it has represented San Jose High musically, and has made several appearau ' ces in concert at the junior high schools. Members of the band undoubtedly will long remember the good times at the skating parties, the hikes in com ' pany with the orchestra, and the picnics at Twin Creeks, given in combina ' tion with the orchestra and the Commercial Club. There has been hard work besides much good fun. The roll of drums, the beat of marching feet, a martial air — those were the good old days of high school. Band members: Gemma Agnelli, Robert Allario, Louis Alfano, Wilburt Anderson, Dan Ardi2;z,one, Mardell Baumgartner, Bob Belknap, Bob Bevans, Jack Bisby, Wesley Brady, Harry Burmaster, Arthur Carlsen, Edna Mae Chaffer, Mario Clemente, Dorothy Clevenger, John Cooper, Bill Cranston, Ted Cut ' ting, Paul D ' Angelo, Charles Disney, Merry Pearl Drake, Merle Edwards, Gerald Erickson, Lenore Foster, Bill Fench, Bill Giacoma2, i, Charles Gies- mann, Almore Gordon, Manny Goulart, Barbara Hall, Roger Hall, Chris ' tine Helps, Kenneth Hogan, George Hood, Robert Hutson, Arthur Jacobus, Mary Johnson, Arthur Kealey, Otis Kinkade, Myra Lester, Charles Longi ' notti, Theresa Mamola, Gem March, Ralph Medley, Donald Mongeon, Ronald Mongeon, Bill Morehouse, Lorene Pelton, Alice Pettengill, Ann Reed, Rosalie Rinella, Jack Shore, Elizabeth Skystrup, Bill Smith, James Smith, Joe Sorci, George Stone, Frank Straight, Betty Sullivan, Leo Sun ' seri, Phillip Tidmarsh, Donald True, Leona Uhl, Sandy Ziegler. [90] 19 3 6 g ORCH ESTRA The lads and lasses who ply the bows and toot the instruments in the old house on Eighth Street have had a busy year. In spite oi the handicaps of forty-yard dashes to the remote music building for class (which on rainy days were largely a matter of slide, Kelley, slide ) they have chalked up many successful appearances at different events. The open ' ing of the civic auditorium, two graduations, two Senior S hows, where they supplied the musical atmosphere, and a series of Music Week programs. The gatherings of the orchestra and band such as skating parties, picnics, and hikes have been greatly enjoyed. The members of the orchestra are as follows: Frances Barton, Harold Burmaster, Everett Clark, Dorothy Cleven- ger, Lyle Davis, George Endrich, Magaret Farr, Bill French, Charles Geiss- man, Angela Giulte, Stanley Gould, Richard Grube, Dorothy Halla, Gor- don Hay, Christine Helps, Ora Jordan, Arthur Kealey, Howard Latta, Paul Lavini, Frank Livermore, Margaret Livermore, Genevieve McHatton, Ralph Medley, Emily Messina, Geraldine Monnot, Donald Mongeon, Bill Morehouse, Beatrice Moss, Chiyoko Nakayama, Ruth Narimatsu, Elitha Nelson, Agness OUum, Charlene Ransome, Emily Ransome, Hilda Ran- some, Ann Reed, Don Robertson, Elaine Rogers, Charlott Ruif, June Ruhl, Ruth Sandorf, Cora Mane Savage, Ha2;el Schlosser, Bill Smith, George Stone, Ralph Swickard, Cleaora Thomassen, Donald True, Leona Uhl, Harry Wendell, Audrey Wood, Toshiye Yamakawa, Annie Clair e Atchi- son, Ruth King, Margie Smith, Bob Belknap, Frank Straight, Arthur Jaco- bus, Lucille Hawkins, Arthur Carlsen.

[93] FALL SENIOR SHOW With comedy throughout, and mom- ents of absorbing drama, as a local newspaper reviewed the show, New Fires, the presentation of the fall class of 1935 was a distinct success. Filled with rich comedy, well handled dramatic scenes sencerely performed, and romance convincingly and enjoyably portrayed, — no better recipe could be asked for a better show. Stephen Santry, a successful author who has main- tained his family on a high level in Chicago society, decides he has provided too much pampering, and plans to move the family to the country. Uncle Sideon, has died willing his farm to Stephen, and this gives New Fires its setting. When the intensely urban and ultra-sophisticated family finds itself out in the sticks trouble begins. The younger members of the family, Billy and Phyllis, soon grow to enjoy heartily the carefree country life as do Dick and his newly acquired wife. But Olive and Anne are not quickly satisfied until Olive gets heart trouble, brought on by the disarming young country doctor, Lynn Gray, Mary, a friend of Phyllis ' does her bit to add to the plight of the Santrys ' by coming down with scarlet fever tight in their very midst. The last scene where Mother and Father Santry receive a fine silver service as an anniversary gift from the family, while all the lovers kiss and everybody smiles happily provides a delightful and satisfying climax.

Dale Wren; Phyllis Santry (cutter-upper), Virginia Range; Eve San- try (she married the family), Peggy McDaniel; Dick Santry (Eve ' s hus- band), Robert Peters; Dr. Lynn (more love interest).

[94] 19 3 6 SPRING SENIOR SHOW As the Bell gues to press the Senior play of the spring class of 1936, Captain Applejack, is running through the mill of rehearsals for performance on May the twentyninth, and it shows promise of being highly amusing and entertaining. The story is about the plight of a middle-aged English gentleman, Ambrose Applejohn, who after a life of propriety and sobriety in the ancestral mansion of the Applejohns and after having passed many uneventful years as the pampered object of attention of his pompous Aunt Agatha Whatcombe and his pretty young ward. Poppy Faire, realizes (as he says) Romance has passed me by. The urge for adventure and romance sweeps over him to the horror of the two ladies, and still more to their horror, he decides to sell the ancestral home, go out and see life, and seek adventurcromance. But before long adventure comes to the old house with the assistance of a charming vil- lianess, Anna Valeska, a suave villain Ivan Borolsky, and his wife, whose name, oddly enough, isn ' t Mrs. Zoroaster, but Mrs. Pengard. Actually Zoroaster is just Mr. Pengard ' s idea of a good trade name for his profession, — Oriental seer. Johnny Jason, high pressure salesman friend of Ambrose adds to the thrills which involve a sevret panel, and old parchment, and a pirate ' s treasure. The characters are: Lash, the butler, Vernon Bowers; Poppy, Dorothy Leverenz,; Mrs. Whatcombe, Betty Ann Flesher; Ambrose Applejohn, Franklin Lacey; Anna Valeska, Lucy Mae Randle; Mr. and Mrs. Pengard, James Palmer and Patty Ironsides; Ivan Borolski, Robert Royston; the maid, Jeanne Butler.
