MCCONVILLE The Elm STQH Margaret Harrison Al V andenbos Lois Troxel Carl Hansen E ditor Sales M mmgcr Art Editor Associate Editor Foreword The present tendency in yearbooks throughout many high schools is a change from the literary to the picture book type; from the ponderous accumulation of printed material that is seldom read, to a condensed collection of pictures of seniors and organizations about the school that serve as permanent memories of the high- lights of school life. The Elm has fallen in line With this new trend, and With our limited funds have included as many pictures and features as possible. We wish to take this opportunity to give credit and appreciation to Tom Price, Mary Martha Cross, Joan Levin, Peter Monteith, and Philip Schromm for helping the staff in their preparation of the book. -lee Sta1?. -7-'-,- .a - ...- imma ..a TH E ELM ..... 0 O A y. ; x-J.

Bert's Beorcot Eleven For the past Eve years Coach Bert Griffin has taken care of the Bearcat varsity football squad. There have been many ups and downs during his regime at San Mateo, but Bert and team have always come out on tOp in morale. Coach Grifiin is noted in P. A.L. circles for the fighting spirit and the never-say-die principle that he develops in his squads. This year in football San Mateo had a double season, including a siege of both wins and losses. Riding through six or seven practice games and given an edge in the following P.A.L. race, the Bearcat eleven then dropped four straight league encounters, and ended in the cellar. But even with this misfortune, San Mateo can claim a prosperous season, because of the excellent showing of pre-league games. The shining light during the past season was the trip to Lodi, where the Bear- cats scored a 13-7 victory over Lodi, who later won the valley championship. It was under Bert Grifiin that San Mateo took its only football game from Burlingame. Bert, several years back, had one of the smallest teams in the history ' of San Mateo, and was given only an outside chance of taking Burlingame. Again the old Grifhn spirit came to the front, and the Panthers were held scoreless, while Bill Rapp proceeded to block a kick and give San Mateo a 2-0 win. Coach Griffin is also interested in swimming and tennis, but among the fellows Wat school he is always referred to as the football mentor. So hereis to Coach Griffin. 'Lj:j;1.::j;;i..';.

Hi-Lights of 195. The 1934-1935 gratluates of San Mateo high had a roaring Alumni Day yester- day, June 12, 1950. Everybody was there including the wives, hubbies, and littleiuns. The fun began at 8:30 in the morning at breakfast which was served in the main dining salon of the Ben. Sitting on my left was NOLA YODER, who told me about a neat house party EDGAR W'OOD had just given at his summer place; among the guests were PAT WILSEY and MERVYN LUSARRETA, SALLY WARREN and HUBBY, and bachelors LESLIE WILLIAMS, FRED WELCH, WALLACE WATERHOUSE, BOB ROBERTSON, and GORDON JACK- SON. GORDON started a Ere in the garage-still iiarsonii around. I heard that AL VANDENBOSlS young son swallowed a penny, but AL let him keep it because it was the Kids birthday. W'INIFRED STETSON asked me what a kiss on the ear means. I said it seemed plain enough that the girl had dodged. LILYAN POSEY and BILL CREIGHTON sat and blinked at each other, tshould I say winkedy during the whole meal . . . BUCK BEVIER had a cold in the head; well, thatis something anyway . . . It is rumored that LEONARD FRANK and P. I. HOPKINS are that way about each other . . . MIMI HENv NING has bought a dachshund for her children so they could all pet it at the same time. A little bird tFLORENCE GRIBBLEI told me that the alumni were holding a track meet at 10 oielock. So I got in my VvZ roadster and drove to MeConville Field. The first event of the day was the two-mile run; run by the fat ladies 0 could mention some names here but I know that discretion is the better part of valorl. Just before lunch everybody went in for a swim. CAMERON PIERCE did a beautiful high dive, so high that he hadnit come down yet when the meet was over. PHILIP WARREN also went for a swim but he forgot to close his mouth and the pool was drained in two minutes. Somebody started a game of water .polo, the Reds: MARION ALLEN, BETTY KOEHLER, GERTRUDE BARNES and JUNE BLACKFORD, against the Blues: BILL KERR, CARL ALBER and GEORGE BACHERT. The Reds won the game by lifair play. The prize was one of Miss Hedriekls old grade hooks. During luncheon word was passed around that there was going to be a party that night at MARGARET HARRISONTS; so of course we all planned to go 1lsansii wives or husbands. IWAO BANDO asked ASAKO FUJIWARA what was the matter with the chicken soup. ASAKO said she thought they had a hard time keeping the chicken in the pot. After the noise from the soup had receded, the speakers were brought forth. ALYCE BLOOM gavea talk on lfHow T T T T TT T . T T T T T- - T T T 1- .WVxMr'foVW M F ..

On awakening we migrated to the shade of. the Elm trees which we gave the school back in 35. By the time we all got through carving our initials, hearts, etc., in the trees, there were no more trees. Consequently there was no more shade, so we all left for parts unknown, only to meet again at 8 oiclock to partake of that noisy pastime known as iieating dinner? ELWOOD BOSSHARD and JULIA BROCANELLI provided variations thereof. Before the after dinner speakers spoke, RUSSELL JONES played several pieces on the piano. During one piece RUSSELL became so excited that he fell 03 the stool; the doctors say he will recover. The speakers were finally brought forth; the first one was CLARK REDEKER, who talked on his latest invention, an automatic machine that keeps oneis tongue from perspiring. The second speaker was EAR; LENE MEYNERS, who talked on Mr. Blanchard, the Licentious? After dinner we started to MARGARETB party. On the way LILIANE ROGNIER told KEN GIBSEN she dirlnit like to ride with him because he was too reckless. KEN replied, iiYes, weive had some tight squeezes, havenit wePii We heard HERBERT CROOP say to ANNABELLE COLLET, iiGee, clear, with a moon like that there are only two things to do-and I dont feel like writing poetry! On the way we saw walking along the road in barrels ROY DAWSON, JACK DE AMICIS, JIM DE SILVA,HA1xOLD CLATT, GENE CONNELL, JACK ELLIS, JACK FONG, JACK COY, JOE CAN ZIAN, BILL CLARKE and BILL HOLT. It was evident there had been a poker game. When we got there, ELIZABETH SMITH told me about a picnic that had been held at Half Moon Bay a few weeks before. Among the brave people who attended were LOIS FARR, IRAN GORDON, MURIEL BRUZZON, GERAL- DINE GRANUCCI, DICK CONNORS, EDMOND BLACKBURN and BOB HOWELL. Bob remarked that the biscuits had a stale taste, and LOIS said iiOh, thatis because I used an old recipe? EARLINE HAYS, PHYLLIS DUNN, BETTY HOLM, MILDRED CAV- ANAUGH and MARGARET JONES were the life of the party by posing as the grown-up quints. The orchestra was directed by DOUGLAS LEADLEY. It was composed of some San Mateans including M ILTON LAFEVRE, YOSHIKO MAYEDA, KIKU 'NAGASAVVA and SATOYE KAWAKITA. The party started off with an exhibition dance by BERT MEDAR and GERALDINE STET- SON. After the exhibition was over we all danced. During the playing of a fast hot-cha piece almost everybody collapsed or stumbled and formed a huge pile in the middle of the floor. Seen at the bottom of the pile were MERVYN MCCOY, THURLOW MURRAY, JACK NICHOL, SAKAYE MORI, MARGARET MCGORRY, DOROTHY MORINI and IRMA PEROZZO. During the evening some of the felllows engaged in a poker game. Those not being able to return to the dance floor because of' loss of ClOthing were ELDORADO ROSSI, DON BAUER, CARL NEIDERREITER, BOB BARTH, FRED PAULSEN and HORACE PHILLIPS. Arriving at the party a little bit late t2 a.m. to be exactl were ALLEN PITSKER, DICK SALANDRA, DICK SANTEE and DON SELIG. FRANK SMITH and WILMA SHELDON, DON THYLIN and GRACE RICCI did a French dance called iiLe Coquinfi It was dedicated to LONDO TOCCHINI. Well, the party was finished, the day was finished and the aluornni were linished; so finished a happy reunion, with many an revoirs.

The 120-lb. squad placed first, completely annihilating all opponents. F irst place winners for the Bearcats in this division were Bob Welcb in the high jump, Mario Costa in the broad jump, Mark Luca in the 50 and 100, Junior Gerig in the 220, and Francis Muhleman in the pole vault. The 110s, bolstered by Alva Collier, sensational high jumper, took second behind Palo Alto. Collier broke two P. A.L. records in this division. In the high jump, his specialty, he soared to a new height of 5 feet 9V2 inches, breaking the former mark by a full seven inches, and in the broad jump leaped 19 feet 4V2 inches to shatter the ancient distance by approximately seven inches. The unlimiteds were a surprise, with many come-through performances. Luther Smith placed first in the high hurdles and second in the lows; Dick Arms won the shot; Elmer Clatt took the pole vault, and Walter Velasco placed in both sprints. Swimming The Bearcat paddlers, under the tutelage of coach Bert Griffin, did creditable work in league competition this year. The unlimiteds, combined with the 130is, finished in second position behind Palo Alto. The llOis were just nosed out of second by Sequoia; while the 1205 finished third. Stalwart performances by Junior Dana, Harry Baehr and Jack Huber helped push the Mateans out in front. Tennm Coach Grifhnis racquet wielders placed second in league play, as well as con- tribUting the outstanding player of the year, Don Selig. Selig went through his matches without losing a set! The doubles combination of Iwao Bando and Ward Mamlok tied for Erst place. Ellsworth Ellis teamed up with Selig to cop high honors in the doubles championships at Stanford. BaseboH Coach Zur L. tBrile Williamson, in his first year as baseball mentor, put out a championship team, but they ran into some tough luck which left them at the seasons end gracing third position. Joe Canzian, Bill Cooks. Nick Caludis, Henry Malinverno and Vaughn Eranosian were batting stars, and Herman Sick, Tim McCoy, and Harry Cahalan turned in some fine work on the mound. Basketball The two heavyweight basketball teams wound up the season in third position, despite the fact the teams fought hard and played well. Bob Walker, 1304b. guard, and Londo Tocchini, varsity captain and forward, were honored by berths on the mythical all-P. A. L. quintets.

FALL Sb x .- Wx va VVx V ;-'Wwvww W f N -W v . k.- Girls Sports The girl athletes of the school have had an unusually good sports season, which is a credit to members of the Block S. M., the Girls Athletic Council, the Girls Athletic Association, and to the girls who have given their support and time to morning sports. The Block S. M. is a small honorary organization open to girls with a student body card and the required 225 points. An average of four girls enter the Block S. M. every year, which automatically keeps it an organization of superior athletes. The Girls Athletic Council is the governing body of the girls athletics. There has been more real entertainment and worthwhile effort put forth during the past year in girls sports than there has been in a long time. Two hundred fifty girls have earned their points towards their Blocks this year, which is more than half the entire number of girls in the student body. A new activity has lately been added to the girls sports, that of fencing, under Miss Helen MacArthur. This has proved an increasing interest in athletics, and fencing is now recognized as one of the leading sports. Play Days have been praised this year by all of San Mateois opponents. The girls have visited eleven various schools for the purpose of Play Day celebration, and, in turn, have been hostess to nine schools for their own Play Days. Plans have been made to bring the boys and girls Block S. M. closer together by social events and this, with the added promise of an enthusiastic executive board of girl athletes, lends an optimistic outlook to next semesteris sports. The new oflicers of the G. A. C. are all former members of student body activities, which promises a bright outlook for athletics. A splendid example has been set this semester by girls of the Block S. M., the G. A. C., and the G. A. A., one that is an inspiration to all of the girls, and the credit goes chiefly to Miss Marcia Hinkins, who supervises all athletic activities. She shares the success which the gills have eatned who have cooperated with her in making girls sports something to be proud of or San Mateo high! mwwwmwe T H E E L M I-O--I.I.. H4. ...
