San Miguel School - Sword and Shield Yearbook (National City, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1958 volume:

The Sword and Shield Annual San Miguel School National City, California l958 Campus Views The above building houses the chemistry and physics labs and the lower school classrooms. Together with the main Administration Building it was built nearly one hundred years ago with materials brought by ship around Cape Horn. The parlor, pictured at the above right, is the scene for many school dances and entertainments. It also serves as quarters for resident faculty. Not an original school building, the parlor personifies our rapid growth. The spiritual life of the San Miguel student centers around the school chapel, pictured at lower right. Short services are held each morning, except on Friday, when there is a celebration of the Holy Eucharist. at San Miguel rf Dedication There are few ways a student can show his gratitude to the man who guided him through his high school studies. In the dedication of this yearbook, we wish to show our thanks to Paul H. NVhite. Since the first days of our fresh- man year it has been to him, as class advisor, that We have turned with our problems. May the lessons he has taught remain with us and guide us in the future. MEMDRIAM His tools were those of learning and fair play, and with them he helped mold this school, San Miguel. As our first Dean he guided us through the conflicts and joys in the making of tradition. His memory shall be perpetuated in the hearts of his students, and in the ideals of the school which he helped found. Greetings The Staff MRS. H. SLOAN KARL MEERS Bursar Custodian and Cod speedl The Faculty and I pray Codis Blessing on the Class of 1958. I suddenly realize that some of this Class have been with San Miguel from its very beginning in September, 1952. To have this one and only First Cenerationn pass through all grades IS a real source of satisfaction. You thought, back in 1952 that graduation was so far in the future it would never come. You will find that college years will pass even more rapidly, Class of ,58. Best Wishes 58 EDWIN O. RossMAEssLEn Headmaster MRS. L. S. BAKER Secretary ALAN B. SUTHERLAND B.S., U.S.N.A.

To the seniors it will mark the end of the long path which they have pursued for the past few years. It shall be the lot of the Juniors to take the reins of power and to become the leaders of the school. There will be another annual to publish, a newspaper to print, and the innumerable other problems which come with advancement and responsibility. To the undergraduates it will merely be the end of another year, but marked by the successes and failures shared with classmates. It will be the passing of the old and the arrival of the new.

The interests of the San Miguel student are not confined to the classroom, hut radiate outward into the field of extracurricular acti- vities. The wide scope which these activities encompass is in keeping with the San Miguel idea of a well rounded character, one which is not only proficient academically, hut also in working with his fellow man. It is the faculty's hope that the student, by the time he graduates, will have a field of varied interests, any one of which he can fluently draw upon. From glee club to student council, from photography to model railroads, these are the small parts of everyday school life that will prove invaluable in later years, S X! ,X J . 1 'B ' ix 5 ,- H+?

The floor of the Senior Room becomes littered with paper shavings, pictures are feverishly taken, and every few days there are hurried conferences, missed classes, and homework that goes undone. Deadlines are set and passed and then reset and reset again. Some come to school dressed in natty suits and then hefore history class, sally forth to get the advertisements that will put the Annual in the black. The proverbial midnight oil is burned at a ferocious rate as copy is Written. Then as time flies hy, the make-up is started, redone, and finished at the last minute. Only when the last page leaves for the printers, can the Seniors hreathe a sigh of relief. Burl: Row-II. Iluntv, 'I'. Sfl'IPlll'll-Illl.S'lYtll'lI, B. Burg1'm'r, C. XVuruvr, C. Iliggx. F. Mvrlmr. P.

It is the attempt and goal of each student to fulfill the old adage, A sound mind and a healthy body? The athletic program of San Miguel, during the past year, has given the students ample opportunities to participate. From football to swimming, a wide and various field of sports has been offered. Throughout this year there have been losses of many contests that the student body and players have witnessed. With each loss they have experienced sorrowg with each victory, joy, Body development, however, has not been the only subject of each game or meet played against our league members. No matter what the outcome of the contests, at the end, there has always been a new strengthening of char- acter and a better understanding of sportsman- ship. The development of these last two qualities in each individual will, in no small part, deter- mine his future place in society.

Hampercd hy penalties and lack of depth, they could not manage to move the hall offensively, The Knights held the ground attack of the opposition, hut couldn't contain their air attack. The game ended with Mountain Empire the victor, 26-0. The second engagement on the calendar was with our cross-town rivals, Brown Military, The Knights took the hall on the opening kickoff and drove down to the enemy twenty yard stripe, only to he stalled hy penalties. The next San Miguel drive was cnt short hy an intercepted pass, which Brown turned into a quick touchdown. Ames hroke through to hlock the P.A.T. attempt, and the score stood Brown 6, San Miguel 0. Early in the second half Tyson recovered a fumhle in the Brown hackfield, hut the Knights were unahle to capitalize on their hreak. Brown continued to move the hall well, and the ground game domi- nation that had helonged to San Miguel in the first half was now Brown's. Despite a pass interception hy Coutts, and persistent running hy Lynds and Fletcher, the Knights were unahle to tally. The game ended with San Miguel on the short end of a 25-0 score. The following Friday the Knights were visited hy Twin Pines School, from Los Angeles, The green and white jersied team employed a single wing offense, and it took the whole first half for the Maroon and Cold defense to adapt to it. Behind the running of their tailhack, Twin Pines held a 19-0 edge at the half. With a light rain falling, the Knights aerial offense come to life in the third and fourth periods. Having driven deep into Twin Pines' territory, Fletcher passed to Miller for eleven yards and six points. The conversion attempt was un- successful. In the opening minutes of the fourth quarter Fletcher again took to the air, and, on a swing pass to his right, hit Coutts at the mid-field stripe. Reversing his field, Coutts raced fifty yards for the second San Miguel touchdown. Fletcher then took the ball from the spread formation and ran for the conversion. After the next kickoff, the Knights pushed the Twin Pines' team back into their own territory. Then Tyson broke through the opposing line and dropped the enemy quarterback in the end zone for a safety Q2 pts.j. With the score 19-15, the Maroon and Gold drove hard for the needed score. However, in the closing minutes of play, the wet ball slipped from Fletcheris hand into the arms of a waiting green and white lineman, who ran, unopposed, for a touchdown. With the successful conversion, the ball game came to an end, Twin Pines winning it, 26-15. Weakened by the flu and numerous injuries, San Miguel was not up to par as they journeyed to Ramona on the 25th of October. Early in the second period Coutts hurt his leg, and was forced to leavenfhe field, soon to be followed by Exarhos, with an ankle injury. Midway in the third period Thomson was forced to retire with a wrenched knee. Tyson and Ames turned in fine performances on the line, as did Merhar and Lynds in the backfield, but the Ramona team was too much to handle. The final score was Ramona 64, San Miguel 0. For the final game of the season, the Knights traveled to Harvard School in Los Angeles. The boys hurt the Week before at Ramona had not yet recovered, and as a result the squad totaled only eleven men. It was obvious from the start that the two teams were evenly matched. During the first quarter they exchanged downs on the rain-soaked field. However, midway in the second period the Knights penetrated to the Harvard 18 yard line. Then, on fourth down, Fletcher passed to Tyson for a touchdown. The conversion failing, the first half came to an end, the score being 6-0. On the open- ing kickoff of the second half, tackle Vaughn hurt his hip and had to be carried fom the field. With but ten men left to play, the Maroon and Cold prepared for the worst. Taking Miller out of the back field and putting him on the line in Vaughnis place, the Knights withstood Harvard's third quarter attack. Time and time again Harvard's black and red backs were stopped by players such as Burgener, Angus and Merhar. Regaining con- fidence, early in the fourth quarter, San Miguel pene- trated to the Harvard 35 yards line. In a third down situation, Fletcher faded back in the spread formation and passed to Tyson in the end zone. Following Tysonis spectacular catch was a successful conversion attempt, and the score stood 13-0. But the game was far from over. Harvard took the next kickoff and raced 88 yards up the near sideline for a touchdown. Their conversion was good and the score stood 13-7. Then, late in the fourth quarter, Harvard started another drive that seemed destined for pay dirt. But the Maroon and Cold line rallied, and, digging in at their own 15 yard line, refused to be moved. When the final gun sounded, the score was Harvard 7, the Fighting Ten 13.

After a close and hard-fought game, we won by the narrow margin of one point, 44--13. Ferd Fletcher sparked the victory hy contributing 24 points. The following Friday night, we went to julian to play in the second tournament round. Alulian was our first opponent, hut they and their tall center proved too hot to handle as we lost, 52-Sl. The following night, we lost to Mt. Empire, -ll-31. XVe went home happy, though, for we had gained much needed experience. We opened the regular season at Ramona where the eventual league champs defeated us. Our next game was with Brown at home. Sparked hy Ferd's 16 points and with good johs done hy john Huntington, Charles Tyson, and Steven Coutts, the Maroon and Gold won, 45-40. The rest of the league games were lost as the hox scores will show, except for one. Playing our last game at the Boys' Cluh against Rancho del Campo, the Knights came alive and played their hest game. Ferd Fletcher led the assault with 27 points, setting a new school individual scoring record. Tyson and Lynds aided with fine performances and 12 and T points re- spectively. The gameis highlight came in the fourth quarter as the Knights scored 23 points. Newell Bossart, a new junior, hrought down the house with a casual toss over his head that swished through for a field goal. On this happy note, the game ended with the Maroon and Gold winning, 60 to 423. The season could he called unsuccessful hy some, hut it gave us needed experience. The loss of Fletcher, Coutts and Lynds will he felt next year, hut NYaruer. Huntington, Tyson, BlOl'tlllll'l' and Bossart offer great promise of a well-halanced team. NVQ' may have lost the majority of our games, but our spirit stays high. XVe look forward to a fine team and a fine season next year.

Plagued by inexperience and a seeming inherent inability to put the hall through the hoop, they lost a majority of their games, often, though, by close scores. The highlight of the season was a 39-25 conquest of Mt. Empire. Vance Baker scored 129 points during the season for a 10 point average and was closely followed hy Bruce Burgener, Doug Thompson and Herb Exarhos. The ex- perience gained hy Baker and Burgener will help them when they move on to the Varsity next year. Wrestling Adu- 5 5i!.a: Hui YH U -.-- .silly ll WM Burk Row-M. Blukesley, J. Mackenzie, E.

For a school as young and as small as San Miguel, our friends consider it a remarkable feat that we engage in the wide range of sports associated today with academic life in America. But not only does San Miguel participate in all sports, its Knights know the taste of victory and the feeling of being champions. Under the guidance of Coaches Paul R. White and Harry H. Revoir and with the leadership of Co-Captains Robin Durham and Dick Stephen-Hassard, the Knights climaxed a three-year struggle by winning the Varsity Swimming Championship of the Southern Prep League for 1957. It was a group effort: the sum of individual talents freely given, of time unstintingly employed, of no recourse left unexplored, of spirits that refused to admit defeat. It was a new tradition added to a school whose individual members daily contribute to the San Miguel Code-the Code of the Knights. Escondido was our first opponent for the 1957 season, and highlighting our 48-17 victory were Dick Stephen-Hassardls performances. Dick captured both the 100 yd. and 200 yd. freestyle events and participated in the four-man relay victory. The Cis also established their superiority by winning 25-7. The season was launched successfully! For the first time, and to gain as much experience as possible, we entered the South- west A.A.U. Relays at the Mission Beach Plunge. Rick Barber qualified in the 50 yd. freestyle but failed to win a medal. But the relay team of Rick and jerry Barber, Dick Stephen-Hassard, and Robin Durham nailed down a fourth place finish, topping all San Diego entries in this event. The next meet was with Harvard in Los Angeles, a traditional rival and one we have yet to defeat. Here, spirit was not enough, and the Knights finished on the short end of a 53-19 score. Still, though very weak in numbers, we had our thrill for the afternoon when Robin won the 100 yd. freestyle in the time of fifty-nine seconds fa new school record? and also won the 50 yd. freestyle. Smarting at the severe defeat at the hands of Harvard, a determined varsity went to Vista with the avowed intention of making the Panthers pay dearly, and they did. Sweeping all first places, they drowned the cats to the tune of 62-15. Robin and Tom Stephen-Hassard doubled their individual wins, and Robin anchored the relay team. Experience proved too much for the C's as they lost a squeaker, 24-26. Southern League CHAMPIONS Next on the bill-of-fare for the hungry Knights were the unsuspecting cadets, our cross-town rivals in uniform at Brown Military Academy. ln sparkling performances, Robin set a 100 yd. freestyle mark of 582, Tom turned the 100 yd. breast stroke in 1:20.7, and the medley relay team of jerry Barber, jim Peyton and Tom Stephen-Hassard splashed home in the time of 1:36.2. After that the Maroon and Cold tankmen drove to Fall- brook to participate in the Fallbrook Invitational where a year ago they had been soundly thrashed. Such was not to be the story this time. Sparked by Robin's new 50 yd. freestyle mark of 25.0 seconds, the Knights went to work with a will. Robin took another first in the 100 yd. freestyle, Tom a first in the breast stroke, Rick Barber a first in the 200 yd. freestyle, and the freestyle relay team a first in that event. And while the San Miguel rooters roared in triumph, the results were announced: SM, 7215, Fallbrook 41, Army and Navy 21, Vista 21, Escondido 14, and Brown Military 515. The trophy was ours! On May 31 the Southern Prep League Meet took place at Brown Military Academy, and a loyal host of San Miguel fans journeyed across town to cheer their heroes. And they were not disappointed. ln a fitting climax to a highly successful season, the Knights swept aside all opposition. In an awesome demon- stration of power, they took first in all but diving and the back- strokc, in many instances finishing one, two, three. This time Robin shared record-cracking performances with Rick Barber, Robin setting a 57.3 in the 100 yd. freestyle and Rick grinding out the 200 yd. freestyle in 2:24.0. Rick and jerry Barber, Dick Stephen-Hassard, and jim Hudnall have departed because of graduation or transfer, but we fcel that this ycaris squad is going to set another outstanding record. VVe can be certain of one thing, though: win or lose, Captain Durham and his team will be carrying on the San Miguel tradition of giving nothing but their best. To our only championship squad, we of the Annual Staff offer a hearty well doneli' ,of Q1 The Gold and Maroon Knights of San Miguel opened their baseball season last year with two practice games against Snyder Continuation School. Then, under the guidance of Coach Shanley, the team traveled to julian to play their first league game. Managing only five hits, the Knights wasted fine pitching by I. Huntington and lost, 9-4. The following week, the Knights traveled again-this time to Mountain Empire. Getting only five hits again, the Knight defense fell apart, and the Mountaineers triumphed , 7-4. This game saw the loss of third baseman, Bob Lynds, due to a wrenched knee. The next game was played against Rancho del Campo, on the Knights, home field. F. Fletcher carried the pitching chores for the Cold and Maroon, but the San Miguel batmen couldnit cope with the oppo- sition's curve ball. Rancho won 11-4. The following game was the Knights' only league victory of the season, a 7-6 upset of Ramona, on the 14th of May. YVith thc winning pitching of F. Fletcher, and the heavy hitting of Coutts, Barber and Helton, the Cold and Maroon won the extra-inning classic before a large home crowd. The climax was provided with H. Exharos, run-producing single in the bottom of the ninth inning. The next game that the Cold and Maroon played was with Brown Military Academy, again on the Knights, home field. Although the defense was good, the Knights left too many men on base, and didnit start hitting until the late innings-and then it was too late. Brown triumphed, 9-4. The last game of the season pitted San Miguel against Army and Navy, on the Cadets, home field in Carlsbad. Although the Knights made a close game of it for the first four innings, the Cadets broke it wide open in the fifth inning and won, 10-4. Due to the date that the annual must go to press, this year's baseball season has not been included. However, under the guidance of a new coach, Vernon Sanna, the Annual Staff hopes that the '58 edition of the San Miguel baseball team will enjoy a winning season.
