Memorable ThoughTs oT our high school career begin aT pre-game rallies. Cur loyalTy and enThusiasm are sTimulaTed by The sTunTs and yells, which puT us inTo The spiriT oT The games. Rallies are loads oT Tun, buT wiThouT The hard worlc oT The Rally Com- miTTee and cheerleaders, They would noT be possible. Equally imporTanT is The Dance Commissioner, who has charge oT all school dances. IT is his duTy To see ThaT The decoraTions are in harmony wiTh The Theme. The responsibiliTies are divided among members oT The commiTTee, who,are responsible Tor geTTing a band, reTreshmenTs, and TiclceTs.

VAN VORIS JOSEPH ACHESON MILDRED HAYS ARTHUR SMITH The ELM would like To reTresh your memory abouT some very imporTanT people in your high-liTe. This may be I957, and you are siTTing in your rocking-chair remembering old Times. LeT your imaginaTion bring you back To an assembly. Look! A very Tamiliar Tigure is sTanding There. l-le has on a grey suiT and is saying someThing abouT papers on The lawn. Yes, iT's our principal, Mr. Acheson, and we'll always remember oTher Things he said, like sTudy- ing a liTTle harder because we'd never be sorry - ThaT oThers beTore us had regreTTed noT Trying harder Tor beTTer grades. Speaking oT assemblies, does anyone know who was in charge oT Them? IT was Mr. Bradner. Mr. Bradner is a Tamiliar Tigure in some oT our memories. l-le's The Teacher who made our governmenT classes so much Tun wiTh his nice sense oT humor. All The year around you see girls wearing small gold chains around Their necks Trom which hang The class rings oT ThaT special Tellow. BuT even iT The boys don'T geT much chance To wear Their rings, They cerTainly look Trim in Their sweaTers oT '47 over a nice whiTe shirT. These senior sweaTers and rings came early, due To senior advisor Miss Simmons' worry and work. Miss Sheridan's car was seen ouT in The Teachers' parking loT many Times 'Til six o'clock during The prep Tion Tor The Junior STaTesmen ConvenTion - The acTiviTy which she made so successTul during The Con riT' and beTore, when Skip won The NaTional speaking conTesT.

FOOTBALL TEAM BE WITHOUT FOOTBALL FANS VARSITY FOOTBALL The TooTball season came - and iT passed, IT wasn'T a very good season - or was iT? LeT's Take a glance over iT. Our inexperienced grid Team came up againsT a SouTh San Francisco Team, wiTh only one pracTice game under iTs belf. ln This pracTice encounTer, The boys Trom up on The hill, Serra, Toppled down To The Tune oT 25-O. The iniTial P. A. L. TilT wiTh S. S. P. resulTed in a I3-O loss Tor our kids. A surprisingly Tlash, JeTTerson Team Took a slighTly improved BearcaT Team I8-6. Fullback Al Tommei looked greaT in This game and broke oTT Tackle and dashed almosT 60 yards To seT up The San lvlaTeo Touchdown. The P. A. L. co-champs oT Sequoia were ouTplayed in The TirsT halT and held To a 776 score unTil The fading minuTes of play, when Two S, M. passes were inTercepTed and seT up The Cherokee's Touchdowns. Sophomore ChesTer Lax made a Terrific line smash ThaT resulTed in a 62 yard iaunT inTo The Cherokee's end zone. Palo AlTo scored on a Treak play and held To Their 6-O advanTage ThroughouT The game. GreaTly improved San lvlaTeo eleven ouTplayed and ouTToughT The Paly gridders, buT were simply unable To push over a score ThaT could have won The game. Lincoln oT San Jose Turned ouT To be beTTer mudders, and capTured an 8-0 decision in a November rain. Preceding Turkey Day, a capTain was chosen by The Team Tor The Big-LiTTle game and The season pasT. George Cross became acTing capTain, along wiTh honorary capTain Mike MarTinelli, whose leTTers Trom his sick bed were an inspiraTion To The enTire Team. lncluded in The Big-LiTTle game rally was a shorT speech by a Tormer San lvlaTeo STudenT Body PresidenT, a San MaTeo TooTball hero. This 6'4'l end now aT STanTord was a Purple l-learT hero oT World War II -- San MaTeo's own Fred Beonish. Thanksgiving Day, and The BearcaTs oT San MaTeo were now ready Tor Their besT game oT The season. This game would piT The league- leading PanThers oT Burlingame againsT an underdog Team oT San lv1aTeo. The PanThers were acTually ouTplayed in The second quarTer, aTTer a nip and Tuck TirsT quarTer, and The halT ended in a scoreless Tie. In The opening series oT plays oT The Third period, a iinx sTruck when The underdogs Tumbled on Their own I5 yard line. Blingum capiTalized on The bad break and pushed over iTs winning score. The player oT The day Tor The enTire Peninsula was San lvlaTeo's Tullback Al Tommei, Tor his inspiring perTormance againsT Burlingame. Possibly The besT Tackle in P, A. L. was George Cross, who capTured an All P. A. L. Tackle berTh. SixTy minuTe man Buddy CivreTTa sTarred always aT his pivoT spoT and also earned a place on The second All P. A. L. Team. And oT course we remember The names oT STanTon, Mock, Caldwell, Dean, Tyo, Trabucco, MoTT, Gill, and l-lank STelling-TerriTic all season. We've glanced over The record and we say To The Tellows who represenTed us in The P. A. L. Pigskin Parade , Thanks Tor giving a season oT Thrills and Tor noT knowing The meaning oT The word 'quiT'! FROSH-SOPH FOOTBALL The Prosh-Soph TooTball Team was sparked by a dynamic backTield combinaTion composed oT Frank Aguilar, Tullbacki Sal Campagna and Bill Khaler, halTbacks: and Duane EckerT, quarTerback. The Team whiTewashed pracTically all comers. Sequoia squeezed ouT a Touchdown, buT Tell aT The hands oT The KiTTens I9-7. San Jose, however, crossed ThaT endsTripe To capTure The game 6-O and Take The Frosh-Soph crown. Along wiTh our speedy backs a number oT linemen sTarred, among Them: Tackle, Eugene Bruno: ends, CaTron, RoThman, and Geyer' and cenTef WhiTehead. PracTice game scores implied a highly successTul season. The Bear-KiTTens downed l-layward, I9'O, blanked Serra, ZOO and Mission, 60. ln The league opener San lvlaTeo clawed Burlingame 20-O and avenged The VarsiTy encounTer. Pala AlTo was on The shorT end oT a l2eO counr To round ouT The seasons scoring spree 96 poinTs Tor S. M., I3 Tor opponenTs.

CUR HIGH SCHCCL BAND AT nearly every TooTball game, There siTs The San lvlaTeo Band, arrayed in Grange and Black. The band members never geT blocks or awards, buT There They are aT every game, playing Their music and pepping up our rooTing secTion. AT rallies The band plays marches and school songs To help The rooTers geT inTo The sporTsman-spiriT. The spiriT in The band is prompTed by iTs direcTor, Mr. Brose, who really knows how To handle a classroom oT some nineTy sTudenTs, Tor wiTh a rap oT his baTon, he brings The band To aTTenTion, and iTs spiriT appears in The Torm oT music. Early in SepTember, when school sTarTs, a group oT musicians congregaTe in room M-3. This is The beginning oT The band. There are always old members oT The organizaTion, buT each year new Taces appear, Taces which will probably be seen in lvl-3 Tor The Tour years oT high school, because once a sTudenT ioins band, he usually likes iT so well ThaT he remains There during all oT his high school career. This is even in Tace oT The pracTice oT Try-ouTs. AT The beginning oT The semesTer, and oTTen ThroughouT The year, lvlr. Brose poinTs To one oT The secTions, and says very bravely. Okay, leT's have a Try-ouT! Then lvlr. Brose asks The members, by raising oT hands, To voTe on players To remain in The TirsT seaTs. This procedure conTinues Through all secTions unTil The besT players are chosen. By This pracTice, The members oT The band learn To iudge The gualiTy oT each musical insTrumenT, and They geT over The nervousness oT soloing. During The lasT days oT The school year, each oT The graduaTing band members is called upon To geT up and lead The band in aT leasT one piece. As each senior Takes his place be- Tore The band and looks inTo The Taces oT kids he has worked and played wiTh Tor The pasT Tour years, he has a Teeling oT sadness in deparTing Trom a school and a band in which he had so much Tun, worked so hard, and Tound so many unTorgeTTable memories.

From The liTerary paper, Elm Seeds oT I942, published while Frank was FresidenT oT PenfCraTT Guild, The ELIVI reprinTs This sonneT, UTopia, which Frank wroTe because, he said, The sonneT is The mosT diTTiculT Torm oT verse, and one likes To measure againsT The mosT diTTiculT Things. FRANK ELLIOTT UTOPIA Frank ElIioTT The philosophic Greek conceived a word Beyond The IimiTs of his classic mind, For oTT on MT. Olympus sTorms were sTirred ThaT spenT Their selTTsh Tury on mankind.

Since any book is only as good as iTs dummy plan, The sTaTT careTully considered whaT kind oT a year- book would reTlecT The personaliTy oT The school and The sTu- denTs' inTeresTs. The Theme was chosen - The spiriT behind high school liTe. ThereaTTer The sTaTT was busy wriTing TeaTure sTories and essays on This Theme, drawing dummy plans carry- ing The Theme Through The book, so iT would have uniTy and reTlecT The personaliTy oT high-liTe. The Theme was carried ouT in all oT The wriTTen TeaTures, Through The headings oT secTions, onTo The end sheeTs and cover.

Nofhing's changed, he said wonderingly fo himself, as he sfepped befween groups of laughing, chaffing, 'reen- age girls seafed on fhe sfeps, and advanced foward fhe massive fronf doors which would lead him info fhe hearf of fhe high school. l-le opened fhe doors iusf as he had done many fimes before, pulling hard and fhen leffing fhem shuf fasf behind him, and enfered fhe dim hall. For a minufe he sfared info unfamiliar darkness, leffing his eyes become accusfomed fo fhe cool inferior, buf knowing exacfly whaf he would find once he could see wifhouf sguinfing.The halls had fhe deserfed look of Safurdayg buf he knew fhis was a school day. Gradually, as his eyes were familiarized wifh his surroundings, he became aware fhaf if was class fime. Why he sfood sfaring, afraid 'ro move, he didn'f know excepf fhaf a sudden rush of schoolhood memories casf a sfrange spell of exalfafion and enchanfmenf over fhe momenf. This was where his life had really begun. Yes, in fhis very hall if had begun fo change. l-le recalled fhe firsf fime he had enfered fhis hall. l-le had been a freshman fhen, and fhe mighfy seniors, drunk wifh unaccusfomed power, had caughf him in fhis very hall, and smeared his face wifh lipsfick. Now, fhese halls sfrefched ouf as a crossroad. Yes, fhey had been his crossroad and he had chosen wisely. Very wisely, indeed. Ahead of him sfrefched fhe language hall wifh rows of lockers and doors leading fo fhe forfure chambers, as he had called fhem. l-lere he had spenf many hours, weary for bofh his feachers and himself, learning fhe funda- menfals of a dead language and a live one fhaf he would never use. On his leff was fhe hisfory hall, equally dull, where he had learned E+ fu, Brufe, and many imporfanf hisforical facfs now long forgoffen by a mechanically inclined brain. To his righf, however, was his favorife, fhe mafh hall. l-lere he had reigned wifh fhe superior sway of a king. For all ofher courses, fhe mafh classes iusfified everyfhing in his eyes. l-le furned fo his righf, as if drawn by some unseen force and fipfoed fo one of fhe mafh doors, peering info 'rhe class room fhrough fhe small upper windows of fhe door. Sfudenfs were infenfly lisfening fo fhe droning of his favorife feacher, who looked exacfly as he had remembered when he had occupied fhaf firsf seaf in fhe second row. Whaf fales fhaf desk could fell! This very room was where he had made his firsf dafe, faken his firsf exam, run for elec- fion, and received his final wifhdrawal slip. l-lere, foo, he had been measured for his cap and gown and pracficed for his graduafion speech. Nof much fime leff. l-le refraced his sfeps foward fhe main hall. Af fhe far end was 'rhe library, unforgeffable hours, for fhere had been his Senior Ball. Again he furned, fhis fime in fhe direcfion of fhe gym. Qpening fhe side door, he found himself in The courf now blooming wifh spring flowers. Seeing fhe sun dial, he was broughf a vivid memory of his firsf fighf wifh fhaf l-lawkins boy. The l-lawkins kid had knocked him ouf, and as he had fallen, he had hir his head on fhe sharp edge of fhe dial. When he came fo, fhe principal was sfanding over him. Whaf a nighfmarel l-le moved on, and enfered fhe gym. Boys playing his favorife sporf, baskefball, failed fo nofice him, and he remained in reverie. This was fhe place where he had earned his block, learned sporfsmanship, and addressed fhe sfudenf body affer his elecfion. l-low proud he had been! Yes, fhey were pleasanf memories. Time was going fasfg he musf hurry. Refracing his sfeps, he once more enfered fhe dark halls and walked foward fhe main office. l-le musfn r break fhe spell. l-le peered info fhaf office, so familiar fo his memory, now deserfed, save for fhe ficking of 'rhe huge clock regulafing fhe liffle communify of sfudenfs. l-le fook one lasf lingering look af fhe green-finfed walls, fhe rowsgof lockers, fhe cool, deserfed hallsg fhen he sfrode ouf info fhe sunlighf. The doors closed behind him wifh a liffle fhud, separafing him from fhe unforgeffable world of memories. They, af leasf, could never be faken away from him. No, he had no regrefs on fhaf scalding hof day, as he lay on fhe blazing beach of a Pacific isle. Qlwf. , - .L Z 'U-.EI Y-A, afiifiwlff' 7.
