Football, Tsuneyo Shimizu , In lltemol-ia Very often, in the course of time, we must do things that are so necessary, yet so unpleasant. It is now that I come to one of those short spaces of time, when I must do something that is difficult. This is not a story of the fall and spring semesters of 1947-48, for the finish was written in August of 1947, far before school had entered the mind of the main character of the story. This, in a way, is the final footnote to a life that was abruptly snuffed out on the highways of California, August 15, 1947. His tragic death ended the short but active life of a boy already recognized for scholastic achievement, participation in school activities, and promising writing ability. This boy was a member of the CSF, an outstanding journalist, a leader in the Iunior Statesmen, an award winner on the basketball team, and, a true friend for all who knew him. - It is with great sorrow that I ring down the curtain on this story of a great friend's life-for we all missed him. Here, on the pages of the Elm, his many friends would like to join in commemorating the memory of Thomas Lewin. Born-luly 25, 1930. Died-August 15, 1947.

We remember walking through the front door' and becoming lost among the seeming millions, the boys sitting on the floor at assemblies and our first dance, The Superstition Stomp. After a summer at Searsville and the Teen-Tavern, we returned to our Latin and history. This was the year we defeated Burlingame in football. Also, the world was at last at peace. Before we knew it, we were upperclassmen looking down on the lowly Frosh and Sophs. The Sea Dream, our Prom, was our crowning achievement of the year. At last we attained the rank of high and mighty seniors. We maintained a busy calendar which was climaxed by Senior Ball and linx Day. And now we turn away from these memories, diplomas in hand, and open once more the front door, leaving these halls that we have learned to love, to go out into the world of our future.

The voice of the students in the government at San Mateo High School is the Executive Board of Representatives. The hoard, made up of students chosen from the first period classes, meets every Tuesday to pass laws and motions concern- ing the welfare of San Mateo High School. Through the reports made by the representatives to their respective home rooms, and by reports taken from home rooms, every student is not only aware of the affairs of the school, but he also is given a chance to voice his opinions in the running of school government. lt is the Ex-Board representative who reports to his first period class that a motion was passed to have a luggage day or that plans have been drawn up to form a recreation committee. Rallies, dances and sports events, are just a few of the things on which the representative acts. San Mateo can well he proud that it has such an efficient governing body and that everyone is given a voice in the affairs of the school. in 9 S. - r x SPRING EXECUTIVE BOARD 1 5 FIRST ROW, left to right: Warren, Marchi, Yee, Bryant, Tranchina, Minor, Stilwell, Carlson, Bertaqna, Schade, Bower, Noble.

A sparkling term ot dances and parties was brought to a climax in the lunior Prom, Carousel The gym was decorated in gay carnival atmosphere, prominent colors being red and gold, the class colors. Through the hard Work ot the class otiicers and advisor, Miss Cool, the junior class got their senior rings early in February. Two of the hi-spots oi junior lite were the Peninsula Theatre on Friday nights and the corner ot Third Avenue and San Mateo Drive on Saturdays. Early in the spring the lunior Council was elected in the United States history classes, and under the leadership ot the newly elected officers an active spring term began.

SUPHUIIIORES A year ago you saw our faces on the freshman page and next year you will see us on the junior page. We spent the fall semester getting used to being called sophomores instead of freshmen. Our president, Earl Atkinson and his fellow officers, Virginia Denson and Mabel Rossi worked hard to give us a successful 'Lil Abner Fun Nite with senior advisor Don Danz helping with and supervising the decorations. The sophomore boys made a good showing in fall athletics and showed great promise for next year's varsity sports. The spring semester rolled around and Bob Doe began as our new president with Lorraine Noble, vice president, and Katherin Griffith, secretary-treasurer. We also showed much hidden talent in the class exchange assembly. Our sophomore year has been one of the best. SPRING LEFT TO RIGHT: Iocxn Griffith, Bob Doe, Lorraine Noble.

FRESHIIIEII The large freshman class, which has more than 360 members, has been very active this year. Under the guidance ot their counselor, Miss Margaret McCully, the Freshman commissioners, Alma White and lrving Hansen, they elected their tall officers. They were President, Tom Leary, Vice-President, Margie Bazley, Secretary-Treasurer, Laura Gall. Early in the tall semester the freshmen had a tun night. Here they were thoroughly initiated with the aid ot lipstick and water pistols according to the customs ot San Mateo High School. Hidden talents were brought to light at one ot the Frosh assemblies when clever fresh- men entertained members ot their class. Now the spring otticers have been elected. They are President, Bill Wells, Vice-President, Don Faucette, and Secre- tary-Treasurer, lerre Adams. Under the leadership ot those they have chosen, the treshmen have become adjusted to high school lite and from their ranks will come the leaders of the San Mateo High School of tomorrow.

However, many stu- dents have given lunchtime and before school time to participate in music classes which cannot be scheduled during the day. Two of these are Boys' Chorus and the A Cappella Choir. During the 1947-48 school year these organizations have made numerous appearances before P.-TA., church, hospital, and civic bodies. The Christmas program was outstanding and very much in demand during the holiday season. An operetta, College Cruise, and a spring concert were produced in the l.C. auditorium. San Mateo is proud of its music department and the director, Mr. Dunn. ,KX at Q1 Q , 2 .E Q Q -. if 44 ORCHESTRA FIRST ROW, lett to right: G. Daniels, N. Lee, G. Stirm, M. Yelick, A. Tyndall, A.

Two band concerts, an open house performance, and a contest in Oakland are four of the many activities in which these fine organizations have partici- pated. The senior band turned in a top-notch performance at the contest in Oakland. The junior band was not to be outdone at the Oakland festival. This band, composed of practically all freshmen, played Constellation March, by Mr. Brose, Russian Dance by Tschaikowsky, and Pettee's American Youth Overture. Both the junior and senior bands came home as the top bands in their divisions. Witliout the excellent leadership of Director Eugene Brose Caffectionately called Prof by band membersl and that of Assistant Director Anthony Duke Oampagna, our two bands could not have attainedythe high spirit and fine quality which they now have. With members of the junior band to take the places of the graduating seniors the San Mateo High School band should be the best band in the P.A.L. as it marches on the football field next fall. Leon Bonneau, student band director and spring music commissionerg David Olsen, fall music commissioner: and Gus Zongus, band treasurer, are just a few student members of this organization who have done a great deal to make our music year successful. Over a period of years, band traditions have been developed which will form an important part of the memories of San Mateo High alumni.

FO0TBHll It was a new, large football team that took to the field for the Orange and Black this past season, a large team with one of the largest coaching staffs in the school's history. Heading the list of coaches was Wagner Wag Iorgensen, who was putting forth his second season since his return from the armed forces. Wag, who spent his college days at St. Mary's latter graduating from San Mateol, decided on the use of the T -formation for the 1947 season. His decision was agreed upon by the squad's backfield coach, Bay Allee. Bay worked out precision plays with his extra-fast backs, bringing out of the lot a capable starting team. He was aided by Hank Lloyd, who worked in the capacities of blocking coach and trainer. Two bright, new faces were seen on the coaching staff. The pair, both former football players at San Mateo, acted as student coaches, giving pointers on the game they had learned the hard way. Much of our team's success can be attributed to the work of Erank McGraw and Walt Selover. As a net result of the work of the coaches, we find three lads picked as outstanding by opposing team members. The first started as a quarterback this season but soon found himself as a halfback. Then Coach Wag found that Sal Campagna had the drive necessary for a top fullback, so a fullback Sal became. A triple-threat man, being able to pass, run, and kick, Sal worked his way to the first string All-PAL team. Early in the season, critics were amazed when they found Wag had moved a slight, 150-pound lad to the Varsity. Dick Bailey, who had made a name for himself on the '46 Erosh squad, soon became a regular starter at end. He finished the season as a member cf the third squad of the All-PAL team. Great things were expected of speedy Chester Lax, but because of special defenses set to stop his quick-opener he could not put forth consistent efforts. However, his steady play caught the attention of his opponents, as he was voted to the third All-PAL squad. The above mentioned lads are great players in their own, but much of their success came through the efforts of the linemen and backs who were in on every game. Included in these are: Backs Harry Caldwell, lim Edgerly, Bob Stilwell, Duane Eckert, lohnny Cornolo, and Walt Sweeney, and Linemen Bill Kahler, Bill McMichael, Keith Gilson, lack Sauer, Eugene Bruno, Bonnie Olson, Larry Mott, lack McComb, Chuck Wright, Bob Holetz, and, last but not least, Scoop Wynkoop. wvs-n-f -Y------Y -WM.. ....... ........... ..- 1 Y, , 4m Q 4.

URRSITV lt always seems that when San Mateo has a good football team, it winds up in the second PAL division. Running true to form, we have the 1947 season, with San Mateo's good team winding up in sixth place. Coach Wag lorgensen's lads started the season with split practice tilts, winning one from Serra by a 7 to O count, while a second was dropped to Oak- land Tech by a 13 to 6 score. Our first league start was almost disastrous, but the disaster was averted late in the contest, when lirn Edgerly broke away for a 46-yard score to tie the tilt with South San Francisco at 6-6. The next target was the Sequoia squad, with Harry Caldwell acting as our bombardier. Harry racked up three straight TDs, which included a climactic 46-yard sprint. Final score: San Mateo 195 Sequoia 7. Hard on the heels of the winning effort came the San lose Bulldogs, who pulled a surprise 6-2 win out of the fire. Next came the Palo Alto Vikings, with Buddy Traina at the helm. Unable to stop the mighty Vikings, the 'Cats went to a 19 to O defeat. Though they lost by a 20 to 18 count, the 'Cats played their best game of the season against Lincoln. Harry Caldwell chalked up the first TD on a 60-yard punt return, while Duane Eckert plowed over on a play revolving around Louie Perego's block on a punt. Sal Campagna added the final score on a 27-yard pass from Eckert. Lincoln, however, had matched our boys TD to TD, adding two conversions for the winning margin. The final win of the season came, Chester Lax accounting for eight points of a 14 to 13 win over lefferson, while Sal Campagna was credited with the other TD, taking a lateral from Bill Kahler for the score. Chester Lax scored the final touchdown of the season, but the final game dampened the Bearcat spirit the most. Though they tought hard, our lads met an inspired Blingum team, losing a 19 to 6 Little-Big game. S as infill I--. Dv' 9 3 .A YL? f K Q J , V4, Y Yi! X .Pg . K if: I - V fw- J 15' .5 2 Wg '.

FRDSH-SUPH FOUTBI-Ill Finishing a strong second in the PAL, Coach Frank Collin's Frosh-Soph footballers wound up their season with a four win, one loss, one tie record. The Frosh were but one point away from a tie for first place, failing to score the extra point in the Palo Alto tilt, which ended in a 6-6 tie. It was the dynamic backfield combination of Cameron Van Wye, Wes Sieg- fried, Bob Doe, and Bob Cummings that brought the Froshers to their second straight triumphant season. Van Wye, the smallest and fastest back in the league, has been compared to Buddy Traina of Palo Alto's varsity. Doe and Siegfried provided the plunging power, while Cummings mainstayed the pass- ing attack. Beviewing the season's important finale, we find the Mateans were a slight underdog to the Blingumites, who had an impressive season. At least the Frosh were underdogs before the contest, as the aforementioned backs went right to work on their traditional rivals. Van Wye started proceedings on a wild, 82-yard jaunt, while Siegfried followed with a second TD on a short gainer. Cummings then unleashed one of his passes to End Bonnie Gile, who lateralled to Van Wye for the 46-yard touchdown. Not to be outdone on long runs, Siegfried rolled 76-yards on his own hook, while Doe plowed over for the final marker. The Kittens won by a 30 to 20 count. Much of the credit for wins can be given the hard fighting line, which was one of the best in the league. Contributing to the line play were: Ends Bonnie Gile, Martin Keough, and Willie Wrightg Tackles Dan Westigard, and George Beltramog Guards Bob Alcala, Al Katchigan, and Dwight Upton: and Centers Neill lohnson and Bonnie lld. Starting the season with two practice games, the Frosh made easy game of Hayward and Serra. Both of the practice tilts ended with the score at 20 to O, with San Mateo's superior strength showing through. With their slated opener with South City canceled, the 'Kittens were forced to open against a rough and ready Sequoia squad. The Cherokee lads reached pay dirt once too often, winning the tilt by a l2 to 7 count. lt was smooth sailing from there on in, with victories over San lose, Lincoln, lefferson, and Blingum. All of the above wins came through the fine coaching of Frank Collin and Vaden Mayers. x 1' V . -glib! , .,,1-.iii-52, 6 su K ' 'L ' ,. fn. 69, X . - , f ...jim ,V 'Y'-'J aj? ,,,,,,,...,,,,,..1.-- -i'ii'f4?'llf' H Q gf' . x.. -3 .

Ot the eight league games lost, only two were by an absolute win- ning margin, as the others were very close. A blow was struck at the squad, as high scorer lim Scott and defensive man Bill Kahler were declared ineligible. The three regular starters that remained, Charlie lungsten, Duane Eckert, and Louis Ge-Ge Perego, nearly overcame the disadvantage when they dropped an overtime tilt to league leading Palo Alto, but it was too late tor the 'Cats who had to play over their heads tor the rest ot the season. THIRTIES The Thirties, however, came through the league wars with a two loss, six win season and a second place in the P.A.L. Paced by Tommy Fitzgerald, who was the second highest scorer in the league, the 'Cats were able to down every- one but Sequoia and Palo Alto. Manpower held the secret of the Thirties' suc- cess, as the squad had two first stringers for every position. Holding the jobs down during the season were: Fitzgerald, Loy Chiu, Ierry Kolb, and Bruno Della Libera-forwards, Dick Bailey and Bob Carlson-centersg Lou Boris, Keido Shi- mizu, and Buzz Keough, guards. Grant, Davis, Lam- born, Della Liberu, TIUEIITIES ln one of their most successful seasons to date, the Twenties rolled to a final second place stop in the PAL. After losing the opener to the San lose quintet, who eventually became league champions, the quintet came up with an un- defeated record, lacing South City, Sequoia, Half Moon Bay, Iefferson, Palo Alto, Lincoln, and Burlingame. Undoubtedly their finest game was the one With Sequoia. With but five seconds remaining in the tilt, Dick Matsueda potted a 30-footer to tie the score at 21-21. With the game in overtime, Al Bertagna ran wild, scoring seven successive points. The 'Kittens received the decision after the second overtime period, winning 28 to 27. Not to be denied a crack at our natural enemy, Blingum, Coach Loren Campbell put his boys through their paces, winning that one in the sec- ond overtime period by a 3988 count. Bertagna again scored the winning point, while lim Thomas, though injured, came through with a brilliant game at the pivot post. l. TEIIS Not to be outdone, the Tens put on the steam in the final period to beat Burlingame by a l9 to ll niargin. Though they won but two other games, the Dimes showed they had the spirit needed to play good ball. Led by Walt Chinn, lohnny Dutra, Walt lverson, Frank Bongey, and Bob Cunningham, the quintet defeated Bur- lingame, lefferson, and South City, losing to Palo Alto, Lincoln, Sequoia, Half Moon Bay and San lose. This was the first season at San Mateo for Tens Coach Charles Marshall. l20's FINAL ll0's FINAL STANDINGS STANDINGS W L W L San lose . ...... 8 O San Igse .

Fighting for first seeded honors were Ioe Catucci and Keith Carver, both of whom are rated high in the Northern California junior ranks. Carver is a smashing player, never giving up more than one or two games a set, while Catucci plays an even, volley game. Supporting the above two in singles was veteran lim Orr.

The divot-diggers per- formed at Beresford Country Club each week, coming through with a good season. Mainstay- ing the attack was Fred Strebel and Bill Mc- Michael, both top-flight men. Behind these two were Stan Keller, Bon Olson, Ned English, lack Caldwell, and Bob Stilwell. Though the Mateans played fine golf all season, an early loss to the formidable San lose squad slowed the team a considerable bit. San lose was the early season choice for league honors, with San Mateo second or third. N I Q U J as r Wifi -341, 'iff . Nr! .- s we r lv- 0...1.n0l 1 5' .QW1 fi' ,.-f ' 4 1,, 1 9-mp L.-4.

The classroom alone cannot completely provide the path to this goal. Extracurricular activities are designed to provide opportunities to develop the traits of character which will bring youth closer to this cherished goal. The Elm is more than a pictorial review of extracurricular activities. Let it be a test of ourselves. As We look through the 1948 Elm may We ask this question- What have I done in this past year toward reaching the goal of total fitness? Let the Elm be an inspiration to every student for next year. It is not unreasonable to expect every student to participate in some after-school activity, whether it be football or tennis, music or journalism. A year from now the Elm might, by necessity, be twice as big, portraying the extracurricular accomplishments of a student body bent on reaching the goal of total fitness. Of course We need more facilities if every stu- dent is to participate in such a program. Perhaps an auditorium, a new gymnasium, and tennis courts may appear in the pictures of an early edition of the Elm. The l948 Elm carries my best Wishes to our graduating class. n l. H.

So, listen now of the news we bring-To the senior's house and the alarm clock's ring. Wake up, lohnny, it's time to go to school, Mother's gentle voice breaks through the 6 a.m. gloom. lohnny Bearcat, will you please wake up! Okay, Mom, a very sleepy voice replies. l'm up. Iohnny picks up a shoe and pounds on the floor a few times, then rolls over and goes back to sleep. His mother, aware of his tricks, enters the room, pulls off his covers, and shoves him out of bed: all the time quietly reminding him that he can't be late to school. Sadly Iohnny gets out of bed, mumbling some- thing about the P. G. 61 E. and its power savings time. Quickly pulling a dirty pair of cords on and a snow-white T-shirt, he is ready for another average day at San Mateo High, which he calmly refers to as The Black Hole of Calcutta. By the time breakfast is finished, the dishes washed, and Mom talked out of the family car for the Senior Ball, it is 8:10 and time to start for school. 8:10 is a little late you say. Not for lohnny: He'll make it on time. At 8:14p 59.9, lohnny streaks into A-l and races toward his assigned desk. Ten feet away from his destination the bell begins to ring. lohnny executes a smooth hook-slide, reaching the desk as the bell finished its ring. The class yells Safe, but Umpire-in-Chief, Charles W. The Whip Bossier screams, Out lohnny screams in defiance of the call: but The Whip yells, Go to the Attendance Office, and poor lohnny heads for the main building. At Art Smith's office, white slip in hand, lohnny starts explaining his tardiness with, l over- slept. Art laughs and put a big C on the slip: Try again, my boy, he says. lohnny blurts out, My car broke down on the way to school. Art chuckles and puts a large U after the Besides, lohnny screams, My mother made me take a 1 oh, what's the use, Better luck next time, son, Art says glee- fully as he finishes, with a bold the word CUT Back in his English Vlll class once more, lohnny discovers he is in the middle of THE literature test. Having read only one book since coming to San Mateo, that an old copy of ESQUlBE, lohnny answers all the questions with either Varga or Yes, Thus assured of an A grade, he sits, calmly waiting for the bell to ring. As the happy tone comes through, lohnny rushes to Boom 9 for a hectic session with Ameri- can Government. lt is not long, however, before the class has decided all the important issues of the hour, namely: The United States should immediately attack Russia, the United States should draft every man, woman, and child, and Brooklyn should win the World Series. The next class on Iohnny's schedule is Algebra IV, with Mr. Blanchard as instructor. Since Iohnny was the last one to be seated, Mr. Blanchard asked him to answer a simple ques- tion: Can you discuss the generalities of the binomial formula proved by the mathematical induction method? lohnny quickly answers, Yes, and Mr. Blanchard marks an A in his red-book. Fatigued by the great effort used in the answer- ing of the question, Iohnny slumps in his seat and sleeps for the remainder of the period. On his way to the gym for fourth period P.E., he bumps into his buddy, Dick, who is also tired of school. lohnny asks Dick how the weekend was Clohnny couldn't remember? and the latter replies, The swimming was fine at 'Adobe.' Taking this as a hint. Iohnny says Let's cut, and the school day is over. Seven hours later, lohnny arrives home with a heart warming greeting for his mother: What's for dinner? But, alas, dinner is over, and there is no food left. lohnny Bearcat does not complain, but only says, l'm beat. l will never go out on a school night again. The phone rings, however, and lohnny answers with, lt's your nickel start talk- ing - a show - what's playin'? - l'll be right down - s'long. So, my children, you have heard, of the glorious senior's word. Now you, like them, A should grow up right and if you do, it serves'you right. -IOHNNY BEABCAT m., f ,f N4 VJ 4 K '--L MZ .1 M 'Sevxrg' vu 1 1 i L ' 1 1 - P , 'a-5. pi. 1 , 4 -'f-J eu- w.. ,. , J WLQ1- Q 3 Iff W'YAR W?

I A ,Av 13.-v This year the San Mateo I-II, under the sponsorship of Mr. Charles Rossier, Il, J v published bi-weekly the news and views of San Mateo I-Iigh School. From the first issue published by the green news writing students to the last issue 'qtf 74 printed by a finished staff, the bi-weekly Hi continued to be enjoyed by all who read it. The paper was run on much the same principle as that of a larger news- paper. The news was reported by students who were assigned regular beats by the editorg it was then turned into the feature editors who made up the dunirnies and heads. The town papers were assigned city editors, who reported weekly the news around the school for publication. FALL SPRING EDITOR C rcrr C rirc iiir,,,. .......trr C C C t,i...

Back in September we started pooling our ideas and dreams of what we thought would constitute a yearbook that you would like. ln October the plans began to materialize and by November the dummy was completed. lt was during this month that photographs were taken and the seniors could be seen hurrying through the halls to keep that appointment to have the long-awaited senior pictures taken. ln December we met our first deadline, and it was here that we discovered that the worst was yet to come. lt was just about all we could do to get the first third of the book to the printer. We thought '-'lf it is this bad now, what will it be like when we have to turn all the copy in? As you can readily see, though, we made ity but it constitutes a great many sleepless nights for all the members cf the staff. Many's the time we envied the past yearbook staffs because they had a class in which to put out the book. ln spite of everything, however, we all enjoyed working together in creating this book. Not only did we learn the ins and outs of putting out a yearbook, but we also learned to work together and to share responsibilities. Now, as you finish the last page of the book, we hope the l948 Elm meets with the approval, of you, the students of San l ' 1 WN Vee 7 - .'. . 4 6' 4 t !m , - THE sri-xrr. 96 gee 1. ide left to right: Elsa Zaccheo, Bev Smith, Rita Delucchi, Ianice Faucette, Gloria Cidonio, Nancy I Glustr Maxene Barber, Margot Hamherq, Ann Graham, Burt Tunzi.
