S WEET PEA TO THE SENIORS You of the Class of 1928 are presenting a new Searchlight, different in content and different in spirit as well, from all that have appeared before. I believe it is better. I believe that each year our school life and work is becoming better, and-ggi! I say this chronology of the doings of the Seniors and of San Rafael High School during the past year must be better. This will be true not because the pictures, the stories, and write ups are better necessarilyg but because school life has been more alert and more worth While and of course the annualwvhich tells of this school life must be just that much bigger in spirit too. Student activities each year are taking more of the time and attention of high school people, and progressive educators are recognizing in these activities a very valuable contribution to high school training. In fact there is in these activities a great oppor- tunity for leadership, for use of special talents, for adjusting one's self' yin social rela- tionships, for learning the value of community cooperation and citizenship responsi- bility, and for acquiring the sportsman's attitude toward the game of life. The high school senior who has not taken some real part in these activities has, I feel, missed a great opportunity. D Those who in the classroom as well as in student affairs have lived completely in this high school atmosphere will find that those same qualities of initiative that made school life worthwhile will make out-of-school even morelworth while. It has been a pleasure to know you, to work with you, and to see you grow bigger in power each year, and now it shall be a joy to anticipate your success which we' confi- dently expect will be yours.

THE SEARCHLIGI-IT SENIGR REPCRT LTHOUGH the number of members of this year's class does not excel that of last year, the class as a whole, feels that much has been accomplished in the way of class affairs and activities. It has been possible to establish a high standard through one unit-cooperation. Under the able counsel of lVIr. James Dean, financial as well as social undertakings have proved a success. Nlr. Dean deserves a vote of thanks. Through a change of residence early in the year, Ralph lVIontagne, a member of the class, was forced to leave school. Sports in which the entire school indulged, were well represented by Seniors. Cn the lightweight football team Herbert Rowland, Cyprian Bouche, and George Gnoss participated. On the heavyweight football team, the following manifested the skill they possess, Price Brownlee, Stanley Duncan, William Kane, Byron Lewis, William Miller. Clyde Phillips, John Pitcher, Joe Nunes fcaptainl, Donald Richardson, and Lesil' Walsh. The Seniors on the heavyweight basketball team were: VVilliam Kane, Byrne Lewis, Hector Liati, Eugene NlcCarthy, Clyde Reynvaan, and Gordon Daly CcaptaiII,. Our representatives on the Girls Basketball Team were: Helen Darragh, Muriel Darragh, Marie Paysee, Blanche Phillips Ccaptainj, Margery' Prescott, and Dorothy Vossbrink. Those on the second team were: Mollie Aitkin, Stella Dilena, and Helen Russell. The Seniors who showed literary ability onthe Red N Wliite Staff were: Herbert Austin, Muriel Darragh, Stella Dilena, Stanley Duncan, George Gnoss, Hector Liati, Frank lVIonti, Harry O'Shaughnessy, Betty Phirnister, Francis Rick- secker, lVIarianette Roselli, and Herbert Rowland. Georgiabelle Davis, Francis Frehe, and Jency Leman were the only Seniors who were represented as officers in the Girls' League. At Christmas the following graduated: Herbert Austin, Roland Durham, Herbert Rowland, and Anthony Soares. The space is lacking to enumerate those who attained recognition on the Scholar- ship Society, but the class was well represented. The entire class hopes and knows that posterity will not lower the standard of the past years, and will do its best tovbe the best production of San Rafael High. Good-bye and success!

Benton went and was graciously received by Qmn and Ula. Their home was fitted out in exquisite splendor, and all around stood servants in uniform costumes of silk, ready to be of the slightest service. In the days that followed, Ula and Benton saw much of each other, and slowly in Benton grew a great love for this enchanting girl in whom was none of the sham of her more civilized sisters. To Benton this love was a torture. He could not marry this island girl. Never! Benton loved Ula with the deepest devotion, but he loved what he considered honor more. Furthermore, it would be better for Cowles to turn traitor to his country or dishonor his family, a family that could trace its blood back to the time of the Cru- sades, than to risk the life of the one he lovedg for Ula's people, he knew, would cer- tainly put her to death if she dared marry a man of a different race. If escaping from the island could be arranged, all would be well, but the natives were sure to 'hunt Ula down until they had punished her for her deed. lVIany a night he writhed in mental agonyg but his better nature finally conquered his longing for the girl. He loved her too much to endanger her precious life. With Ula there was no less conflict. She was the idol of her people as the ruling priestess of their religion. To marry any man was forbidden her, but to marry this stranger meant immediate death. Finally, after a mutual understanding, they decided that the ony alternative was for Benton to leave the island. Only they knew what dreariness and heartaches the future would hold for them after their pledge never to meet again. Now she was gone! Gone! Benton stood watching her with the word ringing like a death-knell in his brain. He sat the long night through in his cabin staring into the darkness, with a tiny red flower pressed tightly in his hand. The next day Benton bade farewell to everything that had grown so dear to him. Leaving the village behind, he entered the jungle through a clearing in the luxuriant growth around him. His only thought was of Ula. He wished himself dead. All at once his eyes became fixed in horror. Before him, coiling, ready to spring, lay a snake. Suddenly a slender white form flashed before him. The snake sprang! But the poison was not buried in Benton, but in the beautiful white arm of Ula, who had followed him to see him once more as he departed. She had given her life that he might live! That night Benton stood beside her as she lay on a coffin of carved teak wood and silver. The village people yet paid her homage. Only the eternal lapping of the waves broke the stillness of the night. With a sob like the one that had come to him across the glistening sands the night before, Benton fell to his knees beside her as she lay white and still in the moonlight. He could stand it no longer. He ran from the place as though he were running from the thoughts that haunted him. When morning came, he was standing on a huge cliff, with the deep, dark waters below. In the east the ball of golden fire was rising. Benton's eyes were upon this South Sea sunrise, which seem to fascinate and hold him. His steps were firm, and his glance did not falter as he reached the very edge of the rock. As he fell, his arms were still raised to the glory above him. It seemed the waters opened gently to embrace him, then they closed quite as easily to become calm again. Yet, who knows that in his death there were not before him the same slender hands and dark eyes beckoning him on to eternal peace and happiness. Nom de plume-ROBIN BLAKESLEE '28 T331 -QQ 'rl-113 SEARCHLIGHT IN THE DAYS OF CAPTAIN KIDD T WAS a somber afternoon in July, and a dull blue haze hovered over me horizon. Here and there the little wild folk of the woods moved and chuckled lazily under the sweltering heat of that southern shore. I had abandoned my cabin for a little stroll down toward the beach to get what fresh air I could. I now found myself seated on the top of a high, sandy cliff which over-looked the deep and expansive Waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Dfly position was such as could command a view of the country for miles around, and I had occupied it for some twenty minutes while gazing off into the distance in all directions. Aside from the drowsy noises of the Woodlands and the distant murmur of the surf, not a sound could be heard, and apparently not a soul was stirring. Then as I turned my head and once more scanned that long, white bar which bordered the seaside, my gaze halted suddenly, and my attention became fixed on a dark, indistinct object which I perceived to be moving slowly along the beach. With keen interest, I pulled out my telescope in order that I might view the scene more closely. To my astonishment, I saw there, making its way steadily along the white sands, a group of ruffians decked in pirate garb. In the center of the group, two of the strongest carried a large object which I thought was an old iron chest. Their purpose seemed as yet a bit vague to me, but at least I had chanced upon something extremely interesting and mysterious. This was, indeed, the opportunity that I had been seeking, a chance for adventure. My curiosity aroused, I set off immediately in hot pursuit. They must certainly have been at least two miles offg but as they were not making very rapid progress, I had hopes of overtaking them. I was obliged to travel inland and yet keep as close to the shore as possible in order that I might keep myself concealed and at the same time be able to observe the actions of the these savage characters. I had to take all pre- cautions to keep myself hidden from their view, for how well I knew what fate a spy would meet at the hands of those blood-thirsty scoundrels. I had been making fairly good time, and every second brought me closer to the end of the most exciting adventures I have ever experienced. I shortened my pace and slowed down a bit, for I was now within one hundred yards of this band of pirates. They were a curious sight. Their skin was sunburned to a dark, bronze color, and nearly all wore dark mustaches and beards. Each carried huge knives and gats that no doubt had dealt a horrible death to many a man. Others carried shovels and crude picks. We had been traveling in this manner fon some distance when suddenly they turned and came on toward the woods. They' were coming in my direction. At this sign, I changed my course and hastened backward until I found a thick clump of bushes behind which I crouched and waited for the outlaws to pass. I heard them approaching, and to my horror they came on straight for the spot where I was hidden. But luck was with me, and they passed on the other side of the thicket just about ten feet from where I lay shaking with fear. When I had regained my nerve, I set out again, this time keeping at a safe distance behind. I followed in this way through brush and timber for nearly a quarter of a mile. I had been constantly keeping my eyes on the band, and finally they approached an opening and disappeared into what I l.34l THE SEARCHLIGHT thought was a clearing. I hurried then, in order not to lose sight of them, and halted when I was about fifteen yards from the clearing. As before, I found a concealed position and viewed thq strange proceedings. In the center of the clearing there was a gigantic tree, one of the largest that I had ever seen, one that would easily make a good landmark. The pirates stopped under this tree, and the two that were carrying the chest set it down. At the command of the captain, the band drew together, and a consultation followed. Immediately afterward they all set to work with unusual vigor, and I observed that they were digging a pit. They labored for nearly an hour, until they had dug out the pit to the desired depth. Then the chest was lowered to the bottom of it, and the dirt was piled on the top of the chest. The effect that these actions had upon me, especially the secret burying of what seemed to be a vast fortune, was more than words can express. Whether it was a feeling of joy, astonishment, wonder, or fear I cannot say, or it may have been the com- bination of the four. At any rate, I sat in silent meditation for some time. Then suddenly my thoughts were turned in another direction as a faint rustling in the bushes on the south side of the clearing came to my ears. The pirates heard it too, and fearing a spy, three of them rushed in the brush to investigate. A few seconds later there was a skirmish, and they returend with their victim. Then, I thought to my- self, I am not the only one who is watching this ceremony. I began to feelf that my position was not a healthy one, however, my curiosity begged me to stay to see what would happen to this unfortunate person. The prisoner was brought before the cap- tain who laughed in,hisg face and gave an order that boded him no good. In fact, it meant his death! One of his captors whipped a knife from his belt, and as the fatal blow was about to fall, a shrill cry broke the deathly silence. It undoubtedly came from a woman. A few seconds intervened, and then once more there rang out that im- perative call, this time with more volume than before. The captain of the pirates became frantic, and with a gruff command, he called his band together and said, It's io use, boys, the game's up. Ma says for me to quit playing and come home to supper.

Where is the home which gave me such joy, And sheltered my head when I was a boy, The old home looks drearyg 'tis ready to fall, Not only that, but-gone are they all. 'Twas always the custom to open the gate And welcome those home who entered it late. But now as I enter, not a soul is in sight. They've all passed on thither, and ended the ligh Soon I shall followg I'll find them--I vow. Once more I will join them, 'twill not be long now.

HE HORN out on the point sounded forth like the bellowing of a bull, and the boats on the bay were blowing their whistles at intervals. The city was com- pletely covered with a blanket of fog which lay down to the level of the streets. lt was four bells after midnight, and the dog watch had just come on in the fire- house of 10 Engine, located on lower Beal street, the slums of the city. This street was one of misfits, bums, drunks, snowbirds, coke and hopheads--dregs from the cup of human life. Outside the firehouse it was dark, wet, and coldg a night when every- one that could, was under cover. Suddenly a beam of light cut across the sidewalk like a giant finger stabbing out through the dark and wet fog, only to be darkened again as if a gigantic hand had swept it up. During its brief light, the deformed figure of a man, bent, over as if in pain, with arms hanging down loosely like those of an ape, had quickly slipped through the doorway of the firehouse. Furtively he glanced about the apparatus floor, be- wildered, watching the man at the desk like an animal at bay, lest the latter should notice him and give him the bum's rush out into that damp and cold fog. That fog- how he hated it! lt always made his lungs ache, and how warm it was here inside. He sneaked along the wall until he got into the shadows cast by the big motor fire- engineg again he glanced at the man on watch and crouching over, he sat down on the running board of the engine. He hoped and prayed that he would not be seen. If he could only stay here until day-light, it would then be warmer outside, and he could drift on. But the deck of cards that Fate had stacked up against him was to deal him a bum hand. Clangl Clangl Clang! sounded forth the big brass gong in the rear of the en- gine house. The automobile lights flashed on, the man at the desk sprang from his seat and ran to the ticker, hesitating only a moment to check the incoming alarm. H227 -Inside-VVe rollll' he shouted. The traps sprang open and instantly the big brass sliding poles were alive with men who hit the floor-mat in succession like so many ma- chines. The driver was starting his engineg the captain was putting on his helmet and coat when again the watchman cried, 0227!-Inside!-YVe roll! The crew was on, the releases were pulled, and the big front doors swung open revealing a solid wall of fog. No one had seen where that worn out piece of humanity had disappeared to, nor did any one know what lay concealed under the tarpaulin back of the driver's seat as they rolled to 227. Through the fog the engine roared to the fire ten blocks to the south, with its siren howling, its bell clanging, and its exhaust breathing a trail of sparks like a live serpent. The battle cry had sounded, and the men were on their way to do their duty as only brave heroes of peace could. Far down the street a dull glare could be seen, and then an explosion was heard, turning the fog into a murky red. Flames leaped into the sky, breaking through the fog like gigantic devil fingers leaping here and there. It was hard to judge what was on fireg but whatever it was, it looked as if hell had broken loose. Could it be the tallow works, or the foundries, or the tenement houses where the help of the steel mills l37l THE SEARCHLIGHT lived? If the fog would only raise, it wouldn't be like tackling a game blind-folded. The firemen didn't like the looks of the heavy smoke held down by the banks of fog, but at last they were close enough to distinguish what was burning. It was one of the tenement houses, known to the firemen as the louse house , but this night it looked more like a madhouse, with the women, children, and men clinging to the windows praying to be saved. Work had to be done this night, and it had to be done quickly, so Captain Collins and every man of 10 Engine were ready to spring into the fray. Above the roar of the motor, the Captain's voice could be heard shouting to his crew, Step on her, Jerry, we've got to make time! You men back there, lay two lines of hose from that hydrant on the corner! Come on! let's go! Inside, me hearties! VVash up them stairs! lead in from the front! life-belts and ropes, and don't forget women and children first! And you, Flynn, run to the box on the corner and pull a direct third alarm! I The third alarm was in, and the big chiefiand twenty companies were rolling in from the city. The fire by now had taken on the appearance of a blazing cauldron. The captain and crew of 10 Engine were fighting their way up, step by step to reach the floor above, where a mother and child were seen to be cut off by the flames, but the back draft, the fireman's Worst enemy, was scorching their lungs, and they had to back down to get fresh air. Huddled at the bottom of the stairway, they did not notice what appeared to be a shadow that flitted by until it was halfway up the stairs, then they realized that it was a human being, a man trying to reach the floor above. Perhaps it was an inmate of the building gone crazy from the heat, or a father, son, or brother dashing madly after a loved one. But no, it had a fire coat on, it must be a fireman. However, the coat collar was turned up, and he could not be recognized. But where was his helmet? He must be crazy to try and make it. Back down, man! You can't make it! cried the firemen in unison. He was seen to stumble, fall, rise again, and dash madly on. It was only a minute or two, but it seemed an hour to the men below when he reappeared at the head of the stairs with a bundle in his arms. He staggered halfway down the stairs, but 10 Engine was there to a man to meet him and relieve him of his burden. They were help- ing him down when he fought his way loose and turned to run into the furnace again. The firemen had given up all hope of ever seeing him again or knowing who he was, for the ceiling was crumpling and the walls were falling ing but a miracle was to be performed. He appeared again, this time with the woman. He just made it out when the stairs gave way. The firemen rushed around him and took the woman tenderly from his shoulder. Captain Collins turned back the man's coat collar to see whom he was and to shake the hand of the man who had performed the bravest deed he had ever witnessed in his twenty years of fire service. However, the man was seen to stagger and to crumple in a heap at the captain's feet. Joe, the Hophead, had answered his first and last alarm. The horn out on the point, softened a bit, sounded out like the moan of a distracted soul, seeming to say, Foooooog--foooooogf' WM.

THE SEARCHLIGHT STUDENTBODY The officers of the student body have proved very capable in their various duties. Almost every Friday was set aside for student meetings. Harry O'Shaughnessy de- serves much credit for the way in which he conducted the meetings. An addition was made to the executive council, two representatives were elected from every Home Room. This gives the Executive Council a better chance to try to meet with the demands voiced by the students, and to pass laws accordingly. GIRLS' LEAGUE The Girls' League is one of the three outstanding organizations in the school. Dur- ing the past year the Girls' League has shown itself to be ready to help in anything that will add to the spirit of good fellowship in the school. This year our Dean, Miss Dufficy,g has said instead of don't'.v, br's. Her favorites were be good and have a good timr. ' We have been good and we have had our good times. In the fall it was the masquerade, and in the spring it was Joy's Ball. After our masquerade we took charge of one Friday Assembly and gave the boys an idea of what we can do, by presenting a few of our stunts, and imitating the different famous boy orators who just now shine as athletes. We formed a Girls' Jazz Orchestra in August for the purpose of having good music at our Jinx. Under Miss Sawyer's training, they be- came so proficient that they are in demand for Searchlight Dances and other parties. On May 11, the girls were hostess of a lovely tea in honor of our mothers- A MESSAGE TO THE GIRLS The girl of the day-the so-called modern girl has so many privileges, so many chances to make herself successful, so much power to make or mar her career, that in a message an older person's first thought is to say, Don't do this, and don't do that. But that little word don't always had a rather ruffling effect on meg so l'll still cling to my be principle andsay Be a little unselfish, and think a little of the other fellow. That other fellow may be your dear little mother who wants to give you all the pleasures you desire, but who has to lay a restraining hand on you. It may be your teacher who wants to teach you everything, and perhaps only what you want to learn, but who is bound by rules and regulations and must think of your fur., and so keeps you to the grind.. The other fellow may be your little friend who has not as many advantages and opportunities for pleasure as you, and a chance to share in your good luck may bring much happiness to her. That other fellow may be the person who is going to park besides you onl the busy streetg so give him a thought as you drive in, and see you are inside the diagonal lines. just form the habit of thinking how your actions are going to affect the other fellow and the power and the privileges, which you undoubtedly have, will bring you myriads of friends and make you one of the happy girls in the world, and that you will be happy in your school days and forever after, is the goal toward which all those interested in you are urging you to use the privileges, advantages, and power that belong to the Modern Girl. l42l T I 1 '14 r 7' I Upper-STUDENT BODY COUNCIL Lower-GIRLS' STUDENT COUNCIL T5 et Set-lrchli ht BY THE SAN RAFAEL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FOUNDED 1898 VOL.

O,CONNOR HH SEARCH LI GHT STAFF THE SEARCHLIGHT THE RED 'N WHITE The Red 'n' White, San Rafael High School student publication, has rounded out its third year. It is a six-page mimeographed weekly, published for, by, and about the students of San Rafael High School, which may well' claim to be a definitely estab- lished student activity, mirroring the interests, accomplishments and aspirations of the school. The staff is comprised of twenty-four students, representing all classes, meeting with Mrs. Mercedes Boeken, faculty adviser, three times a week for the purpose of editing the school news. lrving Weisenfeld, '29, was chosen editor for 1927-28, a position in which he hasjdirected the policy of the Red 'n' White to the satisfaction of all. The editorial staff: Kenneth Ammerman, Gwendolyn Berland, Stanley Duncan, George Gnoss, Hector Liati, Frank lVIonti, Betty Pacheco, lVIarianette Roselli, Charlma Ryan, Francis Ricksecker, William Small and Vivien Roberts. The business staff: Alfred Neal, Manager, Irving Chapman, Helen Darragh, Charles DeVoto, Stella Dilena, George Gnoss, Betty Phimister, Rose Soares, Ralph Vossbrink, and William Orth. At the 1928 High School Journalist Convention, the Red 'nl Wliite received Honorable Mention for covering the news of the school well, THE SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY The members of the Scholarship Society for the fall semester of 1927 and the spring semester of 1928 are as follows: Doris Eustis, President, lVIarianette Roselli, Vice- Presidentg Carolyn Rodden, Secretary, Edna Baccaglio, Treasurerg Remo Bettini, Lorene Blabon, Marguerite Bouche, Nora Cavanaugh, lda Checcati, Harry Chong, Rose Cordiero, Helen Darragh, Gretchen Eden, Virginia Engle, Frances Frehe, An- thony Guidici, Charles Guiclici, Wilbert Hardesty, Jean Hayes, Fred Hines, Eva Johnson, VVil1iam Kane, Sarah Kirsner, Charles Locati, Muriel Martinelli, Elinor lVIilne, Doris Nlooney, Alfred Neal, Marie Paysee, Virginia Randolph, Nlarie Peter, Charles Phillips, Vivien Roberts, Charlma Ryan, Donald Richardson, lylargaret Schuppich, Eugenia Smith, Barbara Stafford, Florence Ella Staples, Dorothy Voss- brink, Irving Weisenfeld, Margaret Woelfe, and Helen Russell. The seal bearers for last year were Gaston Roumas, Juanita Turner, Elizabeth Clark, Mae Healy, and Virginia Michener. In October, Doris Eustis was hostess to a delightful picnic supper served on the grounds of her home in Forest Knolls. There were weenies, rolls, pickles, potato chips, and to cap the climax, a huge, cleverly decorated cake was baked by Nlrs. Eustis. The rest of the evening was spent in sitting around a big fire, telling stories and singing. In February the San Rafael High School was invited to attend the installation of officers of the Honor T Society at Tamalpais Union High School: The ceremony was a most interesting and inspiring one. Miss Adele Newcomer, our adviser, and Nlr. Hartzell accompanied us. Refreshments were served in the cafeteria, and impromptu speeches were given at the table. Doris Eustis and Mr. Hartzell upheld the honors of our High School by giving two very excellent talks.

Upper-GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Lower-BOYS' GLEE CLUB , l i Upper-GIRLS' JAZZ ORCHESTRA Lower-Boys' JAZZ ORCHESTRA JAZZ ORCHESTRAS To Miss Sawyer the Searchlight owes a great debt. She has sacrificed many noon hours practising with the jazz orchestras, which were organized this year. The Girls' Orchestra was started under the auspices of the Girls' League to play for the Jinx. They proved to be so popular that they were called upon td play for the Searchlight noon dances. They also played for the big Searchlight dances, and for the Alumni dance. They played in the Jazz act in the vaudeville for Coiiee Dan's act, and they added much atmosphere as well as their music. The Boy's Orchestra organized after the girls. They also played for our noon dances and forthe vaudeville. Members of Girls' Orchestra: Liveria Sawyer, Dorothy Binsacca, Eleanor Burke, Helga Hildebrand, Carolyn Rodden, Winifred YVilbur, Norma Kane, Georgiabelle Davis, Majory Prescott. Boys' Orchestra: Liveria Sawyer, lrving Weisenfeld, Jillson Peattie, Jack Travis, Harry Chong, Fraser lVIacDonald. i52l I Upper-ORCHESTRA Lower-BAND ORCHESTRA The Orchestra started the year with many handicaps, but it has been going ahead with rapid strides under Mr. Walten's leadership. We have enjoyed many delightful programs in our assemblies. The orchestra has always been willing to render one or two selections appropriate to the occasion. The vaudeville and the operetta owe much of their success to the hard work of the members of the orchestra also. Besides playing for school activities, the orchestra has been asked to give programs for outside affairs. They played at the Hotel Rafael for the Rotary Club, for the Par- ent-Teachers' Association, and numerous other affairs. The orchestra has been entered in the North Bay Counties band and orchestra con- test to be held at Santa Rlosa, May 4,f 1928. Mr. Walten predicts a fine showing for the orchestra in the class A division of the orchestra contest. E531 THE SEARCHLIGHT BAND San Rafael High is stepping into line with other schools of prominence in the state, in the matter of a school band. This semester, after some extra time for individual preparation, the band has actually become a reality, and is devoting two periods Weekly to ensemble practice. If the present fate of progress and keen interest on the part of the members continues, we are sure that our athletic contests and other student body affairs will be enlivened and spurred on by the marshal strains of our band. MACHINE SHOP The machine shop of the San Rafael High School consists of two departments: Namely, the Automotive Department, and the general Macliine Shop. Each has a definite objective. The environments and conditions approach as closely as possible those found in the automotive industry. Here the student is acquainted with the maintenance, repair, and operation of the automobile. He is trained for future profitable employment in the industry. The student has three hours and fifteen minutes of shop work on actual jobs each day, and half an hour on technical science and mathematics. The general machine shop course covers much territory: acetylene welding, oper- ation of various machine tools, electrical work, and forging. The purpose of this de- partment is to develop and broaden the mechanical knowledge of the student. The student spends a part of his time operating the machine tools, a part forging, and a part in the electrical department. He spends one and one-half hours each day in the shop. This training enables him to acquire a mechanical knowledge that will prove very useful in future vocations. NVOODVVORK The products of the wood craftsman's art are so numerous and so necessarily a part of our every day life that any training in wood craft immediately appeals to the average individual. The aim in the course of study is to give a basic training in the technical side of industry, in the expectation that the related knowledge obtained will be of benefit to those boys who are planning to enter a technical college or to those who will go into the various manufacturing and building trades. This course is planned so as to give the boys as clear an insight into the woodworking trades as time and cir- cumstances will permit. The students not only work out projects for themselves, but spend a great deal of time in constructing needs for the school. Nineteen cafeteria tables were designed and constructed by the students this year. Twelve girls are taking woodwork and have completed several worthy projects for the home. About fifty boys are taking woodwork, which shows that a great interest has developed in this work in the past years. i541 NIG HT SCHOOL FACULTY EVENING CLASSES The San Rafael School twelve years ago, under the direction of Mr. Frank Sirard, as an experiment in order to see what could be accomplished in commercial work for those deserving such attention. From the firstl it proved a popular department in our school system. After two years of service, Mr. Sirard resigned, and Mr. A. T. O'Connor was appointed as head of the evening school. Mr. O'Connor has continued as Head off the Evening School for the past ten years. During this time many,changes for the good have been made, new subjects introduced, and new members added to the staff. From a one teacher department, the evening school has grown so that there are now four instructors employed three evenings each week giving instruction for two hours each evening. Bookkeeping, stenography, andf typing were the first subjects taught, but demands have been made for other subjects from time to time, until at present, instruction, in addition to the ones already mentioned, is given' in Business English, Americanization, Sewing, and Home Economics. Dguring the school term beginning August 15, 1927 and ending June 8, 1928 a total of seventy students have registered in the Commerical Department, fifty in the Americanization Classes, and forty in the Sewing and Home Economics. Mr. O'Connor, as head of the evening school, is instructor in Bookkeeping, Gregg Shorthand, and Business Englishg Miss Loreta Pacheco has full charge of the Typing Department, Mrs. Alice Croker conducts the Sewing and Home Economics classes, and Mr. F. B. Waterman is in charge of the Americanization classes. As a whole, the evening classes have been very beneficial to the community at large. The Americanization classes have enabled many worthy foreigners to become good, intelligent citizens, the commercial department has enabled many pupils to better their salaries in commerical lines and the Sewing Department has enabled many a housewife to do for herself many things in the domestic line which otherwise would call for out- side help. i551 THE SENHCDR PLAY Thrs year s Semor Plav, Adam and Eva wx as presented at our oun audrtorxum, Frlday ex emng December 9 1927, and was pronounced one of the best plays ever gxven by the hxgh school The cast all showed spec1al ab1l1ty 1n actlng Frank MOHtl, who chalacterlzed a mlllronarre father with many fmancxal prob lems, poltrayed hls part 1n an unusually fme manner Hzs work IH gxvmg such .1 splendid performance of a very dlfflcult character cannot be ovarestlmated and he de selves all the honor he recelved Herbert Austm gave an equally vlvld pedformance H1s charactermatlon ct a weak uncle sa as done 1n a splendld lashnon, and was responsxble for most of the humor and success of the play Byron Lewls, the handsome leadmg man acted the part of a young manager rn excellent fashlon Hrs polse and stage presence were unusually Stfllilng and resulted rn hrs grvmg a truly professxonal performance The 1ole of Eva, the Independent younger daughter of the harassed father, was handled most beautlfully by Jency Lernan Her dalntv beauty and capable acting carrled, her through the plav admlrabls She wx as as were all the cast most frtted to her plrt Gladys Brabson showed slull 111 her atitlng of a young extravagant u1fe Roland many laughs for hls characterlzatlon and costume Charlotte Warnaer Was fme as a sophlstxcated aunt and Dorxs Eustis was a very dainty and capable mald Herbert Rowland as the doctor, and Charles Phxlllps as an Engllshman, were both rejected su1tors, and they acted their parts extremely wiell Although the cast deserves much credlt for portraymg thelr parts so well much of the success of the play was due to the excellent dlI'6Lt1I'lg of Mass Wuufred, Wllbur Ilhanks must also be g1ven to the busmess manager, lVIr Beebe Mr Tones, Mrs Woods and MISS Nelson Wllllam Small and hls stage, crew dld unusually competent Work Thls group IS never seen by the audlence, and as a consequence go unappreclated VV1thout thelr work no productlon IS posslble In th1s play 1n partlcular, u hlch calls for a dlfflCUlt outdoor setting, the crew under Wllllam Small dxd fine work The woodu ork department and art department dld splendld work The art de partment turned out OVC1 fxfty excellent posters Phe XV1I'1f1ClS of the poster contest were lst C.1o1don Daly 2nd Blu 1n Fellows 3rd Rose Soares Those recexvmg honor able mentlon were Charlotte Warner Dorls Forbls Helen Brown, and Mxnnle Zappetxnl THE VAUDLVILLE The annual vaudevllle was presented 1n the hugh school audmtorlum Frldav, March 2 1928 Mrss Nelson and her art department, u 1th the help of lVIr Jones and Mr Beebe, were able to produce a very lovely looltmg stage l56 x L 'S 7 ' KK ' T! . 1 A 1 U 1 , K 1 ' 1 . l l !

COFFEE DAN ACT SENIOR PLAY ARMY AND NAVY ACT THE SEARCHLIGHT The opening number was an overture, Babies in Toyland by Victor Herbert, played by the San Rafael High School Orchestra under the direction of lVIr. M. F. Walteii. The second number was the Army and Navy ZlCt produced by the Girls' Dancing Classes under the direction of lVIiss Powell. The girls looked very attractive in their white sailor pants and navy blue coats. The third number, a clarinet-saxophone ensemble, was Mr. Estes' act. The boys knew their music, and the audience regretted to have them finish their selections. The fourth number was a short operettadirected by lVIiss Sawyer. The charac- ters belonged to the Wanta Pie Fraternity and showed everyone just how cruelly Ufreshiesl' are treated in frat houses. lVIany say this act was the hit of the program. The fifth number was the Hallelujah chorus, put on by members of the Fresh- man Class under the direction of Mr. lVIellen. Did anyone ever see red-head niggers? Well, there were two in this chorus. The sixth number was A Darktown Holiday, directed by Miss Newcomer. The boys, orchestra composed of Jillson Peattie, Jack Travis, VVilliam Kane, Irving Weisenfeld, Remo Bettini, and Leslie Walsh, made up the greatest part of the act. The seventh number was a Fashion Revue under the direction of lVIiss Dykmans. The latest styles in brides' costumes, evening dress, spring dress, hose, bathing suits, flower, street, and bootery costumes Were exhibited. The eighth number was l'The Magic Garden of Long Ago, given' by the Girls' Dancing Classes under the direction of Miss Powell and Miss Foster. The colonial men and women, roles taken by girls, made a lovely picture against a beautiful back- ground. A most interesting Spanish Dance was given by Betty Pachecco and Helen Broadfoot. The dancing maidens helped a great deal to make the garden seem magic. The ninth number was a piano solo played by Frances Frehe. The tenth number was an Interlude This was an interview with Mr. Dean and some students. As usual, lVIr. Dean won his point. The last act was the famous Evening at Coffee Dan's,,' directed by Miss Wilber. There were Pirates, Lemon-Rind Sisters, Saxophone Soloist, Master of Ceremonies, Impersonation of Gene Austin, Broadway's Star Hoofer, Varsity Drag chorus, Pauline Whiteman and her Jazz Orchestra, YVaiters, and Guests. Some will have it that this was the act. An exit march, Ther Boomerang, was played by the orchestra. Special thanks should be given to the following: Miss Winifred WVilber, lVIiss Veronica Dufficy, Mrs. Croker and her classes, lVIiss Nelson and her classes, Mr. Jones and his classes, Mr. VVoods and his crew, lVIiss Powell, Nliss Dykmans, lVIrs. Boeken, Mr. Estes, M1'. Watermari, Mr. Beebe, Miss Foster, lVIiss Burke, and the ushers. It was under the guiding hands of these that the vaudeville was made the success it was. The decorations Were by the Girls' League, under the direction of Georgia Belle Davis. l53l VAUDEVILLE SNAPS OPERETTA This year's operetta, Tulip Time, presented at our auditorium Friday evening, April 27, 1928, was one of the most outstanding events of the year. Most of its success, however, was due to the untiring efforts of lVIr. llflax Walten, director of music, most ably assisted by llfliss Liveria Sawyer, director of singing. The principals showed exceptional skill in their singing and acting ability. Janice Prescott, and Charlma Ryan, the charming, leading Dutch maidens, were very talented actresses, and Frank Monti, and Edward Leonardi, the leading American college stu- dents, Were very capable actors. This quartette was responsible for many delightful harmony numbers. Stanley Duncan as the Burgomaster, Hector Liati as a Botany professor, and Charlotte VVarner as Aunt Anna, were equally proficient characters and soloists. Klemm Schick, a young Dutch apprentice, was a very humorous character. His Dutch dialect drew many laughs. The chorus members furnished lovely singing, and provided a very effective back- ground in their colorful costumes. The orchestra provided excellent music for the occasion, and accompanied all vocal selections. The Committee on Production to whom we wish to grardully express our thanks are the following: , lVIiss Winifred WVilber, Dramatics and Stage Director, lV1iss Elizabeth Powell, Director of Dancing, llfliss Harriette Nelson, A1't Director, Students of the art classes, Mrs. Alice Crocker, Costume Designs, Students of the sewing classes, Mr. V. W. Jones, Stage Manager, the stage crew, Wm. Small, Clyde Phillips, Howard Plummer, and Edward Farrell, lldr.

Beebe, Business Manager, Miss Eleanor Burke, Assistant Business llflanagerg llfirs. lVIercedes Boeken, Publicity Director, the Decoration Committee, and Ushers. We were very fortunate in having as one of our audience, the author of the Oper- etta, M1'. G. E. lVIorgan, who gave us a very complimentary speech.

Peppy music for the dancing is furnished by the Girls' or Boys' jazz orchestra under the direction of Nliss Sawyer. The dancing, which takes place from 12:30 to 1:00, is well worth the ten cents admission. As all the money received from these affairs help in the improving of our annual, these dances should continue to be well supported in the future. THE PARENT-TEACHERS The Parent Teachers, that very beneficial organization of San Rafael High School, are always ready to help us in all our school activities. Refreshments for our dances and parties are always provided for by this helpful mothers' club, and we are assured of their hearty support and cooperation at all times. The officers are: Mrs. Shaver, President Mrs. Orth, Vice-President Mrs. Frehe, Secretary lVIrs. Gettemy, Treasurer SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS One of the most notable improvements of our high school is our splendid new athletic field. This field was raised 2 feet 6 inches, and served as an excellent foot- ball field, and is now serving as an equally favorable baseball diamond. Preparations are also under way in furnishing a suitable field for the future track events. Another of our very beneficial improvements was the installing of a nice cafe- teria with modern improvements where hot lunches are prepared daily and served at very reasonable prices. The students cooperation in supporting the cafeteria has been greatly appreciated. STAGE CREW The stage crew is responsible for a large part of the success of our many school performances. The scenery and stage equipment have been furnished through the assistance of Miss Nelson and the art department, lVIr. Jones and the woodwork department, with the cooperation of Mr. Beebe. Members of the student stage crew consist of Bill Small, Howard Plumber, Charles McCasky, Fred Mitchel, Virgilio Cheda, Paul Ford, and Clyde Phillips. DRAIVIATICS On November 10, 1927, during American Education Week, the students in the Dramatics class put on a most interesting and amusing one-act play. In the play, Wl1at If They Could, Harry O'Shaughnessy took the parm of the grandfather, Ann Vierra the part of the auntg Ted Reind ll. . L Astria, Larry's sweetheart. o 'ir was arry, and Gwen. Berland was Owing to a change inthe schedule, the Dramatics Class was dropped at the be- gining of the Spring semester. I62l THE SEARCHLIGI-IT IN THE TYPING ROOMS That ryiiewriting has a marked appeal to our high school student body may be readily accorded by the following figures. Out of a total enrollment of 411, 154 are registered in typing classes-37 per cent of the school, with twelve seniors seek- ing a higher degree of skill in the office training group. 'Through the study of type- writing, habits of accuracy, neatness, and concentration are developed. In the ad- vanced classes, speed is stimulated by regular contests, graphs, and charts, and habits of responsibility are instilled by the added duties of secretarial Work for the faculty and clerical work for schools and local organizations. In the centralized stenographic department, Marianette Roselli has served as head stenographer this year. To meet the needs of the department, the Board of Education has supplied up-to-date equipment consisting of 37 typevvriters, well-serviced filing cabinets, two mimeographs, a hectograph, victrola, and an Edison dictaphone. Miss Frances lVIilliken and llflrs. Mercedes Boeken are instructors in typewriting and office practice. Students qualifying for awards this year: Eva Johnson, Stella Dilena, Norvina Bottini, Ida Checcati, Louise Paniagua, Gwen. Berland, lVIargaret Hertler, lVIollie Aitken, Lula Brazil, Amelba Horner, Stella Fisher, Chester Kimball, Betty Phim- ister, and Virginia Hansen. Certificates of proficiency were won by lVIary Tra- bucchi, Helen Darragh, Marie Paysee, Ruth LeLouarn, Billie Nickens, Rose Soares, and Remo Bertini.

DANCES AND PARTIES The girls have been most active in the social events this year. On August 25, a Freshman reception was given, welcoming all the new' students. A masquerade Jinx was given at the beginning of the term for all the girls, and also a party for them commemorating St. Patrick's on March 16. This year's Christ- mas Dance was a huge success, with peppy music, and an enjoyable time was had by everyone who attended. AUCTION An auction of all the lost and found articles was held Friday, llfiarch 30 for the Searchlight. lldany valuable articles were auctioned at prizes ranging from 25c to 23.00. This money will be very helpful in the improving of our annual. The stu- dents and teachers took an active interest in this auction. The total profit netted 521.42 1631 Calc-an ar AUGUST August 15-19.- Is it new teachers or sunburn that causes the general unrest? Corridors are a turmoils of excited freshmen who stand in corners and study-their programs. Studyhall echoes with groans and many old students look more dreamy and lost than their green little brothers and sisters.. August 22-26.- The Freshman Reception was a great suc- cess. There were singing plays,dancing.and most important of all-plenty to eat. The upper classmen came as usual and the fresh- men astonished the entire school by turn- ing out and dancing. August 29-September 2.- Of course, it will be a big boom and draw- ing card for San Rafael High School to have a new football field, but the board ought to declare a vacation until the work is done. Certain teachers on the east corridor are ra- pidly becoming fit subjects for Napa. They have decided that from a vantage point five miles away, a steam shovel is all right. September 5-9.- Gwen Berland has started slamming in her Red 'n Whiten column Slide Slams. No one is safe and the San Quentin gang quite frequently gets the worst of it. Everything is moving now. Meetings, admit slips, classes are back in regular order again. The freshmen Flinch before Eleanor Burke's What is it now? and the new teachers sternly interfere when erasers are being thrown. , September 12-16.- The Red 'n White's printing a list of ex- cuses to be used exclusively in Room 13. Naturally they are the kind that can't be worked unless the excuser has big blue eyes and a dumb trusting expression that would get by anywhere. Friday brought a Constitution day assem- bly and an interesting speech by Mr. Boyd. September 19-23.- Monday was dark blue. The first reports are out and visions of the woodshed rise be- fore the eyes of the startled freshmen. The cocky, hardened sophs have learned to take life as it comes and present the cards for Dads inspection with a well, you-ought-to hear-what-John-got. September 26-30.- The little Theatre has lately been per- vaded by the Spirit of Jazz. The Girls' Or- chestra is rehearsing for the jinx, and Moonlit Waters brings all kinds of cur- ious souls to look in and wonder what it's all about. The Senior meeting proved that the lords of the universe are as tight as any body else. Dues were discussed but as usual without any perceptible result. October 3-7.- Field trips of all kinds are starting now. The Journalism class is planning to go through a real newspaper plant in the city. The office-practice girls have already visited the Federal Reserve Bank, and the biology classes are perparing for more ex- cursions. Heaven help the unwary creature of male persuasion tpage Mr. Deanlj who stumbles upon a Girl's Jinx stunt rehearsal. It is quite likelv that Heaven wouldn't do him much good. October 10-14.- The girl's Jinx overshadows, or perhaps we should say outshines, every other event this week. The auditorium floor will need days to recuperate from the clogging. Charl- ma sweetly vamped Mr. Dorothy Berini. Gresty Prior carried off a prize in a cos- tume that would have given the 1890 bathers a wee bit of a shock. Ham proved she could yell. And how! October 17-21.- It's the boy's turn now. I can't give much detail, as I am not masculine-looking enough to gain entry to the auditorium. However, las President O'Shaughnessy frequently saysj they surely handed out a snappy line of faculty embarassers. Mr. Waterman and his chewing gum were prominent and var- ious others were forced to blush at certain moments. Why does part of the faculty pre- fer Mellons- October 24-28.- Friday brought forth the first Searchlight dance of the year, and The Girls' Jazz Or- chestra made its debut before the Student- body. Many of the men of San Rafael High School seemed to prefer the balcony to sep- arating themselves from the necessary dime, and the punch was a complete success for all of us except those who swallowed ice on top THE SEARCHLIGHT of-well-on top of what ever we had for lunch. OCTOBER 31 - NOVEMBER 4 Then Senior boys are making themselves generally obnoxious this week. They've not going to shave, get haircuts, or wear ties -in fact, anything that might make them look respectable is taboo. Horrible hats and dirty cords pervade the corridors- all because of the Tam Union Game! The Sophomores successfully out talked the Freshmen in a debate held on Friday. November 7-11.- This is American Education VVeek, and VVednesday night was dedicated to the par- ents. There was lots to eat, lots to seep and there would have been plenty to hear, if the Girl's Glee had shown up. Friday, another holiday, brought with it Tam Union-San Rafael game. Tam brought along a band and rooter's section, and we brought ourselves. We made noise enough to make any class-room sleeper wake up, and we won the game. Ray for Sid Ahern! November 14-18.- The football dinner, given for the mem- bers of th two teams, came off this time. There were pletny of hams at the table and on it, and the speeches were characteristic of the teachers who made them. Another dance on Friday gave the girls an opportunity to show their civilian dresses out on the floor. The dances are popular. November 21-25.- Only three days this week, and then-but what happened to Obitz? We assume that be had enough to eat, and all successful ath- letes smoke cigars occasionally-but not Stogies! The rest of us? M-m-ml We could be thankful for three holidays and cranberry sauce. NOVEMBER 28 - DECEMBER 28 So they've threatened to censor the Senior Play! Is this just a publicity stunt to raise the price of tickets, or is it the truth? Every- thing is Senior Play rehearsals, costumes, leading men land womenj. The junior-Senior debate on Wednesday was won by the juniors. The Seniors would get nicely wound up and started at full speed, and then it would be the Juniors' turn again. Stan Duncan cooly remarked that he believed he'd forgotten his noble colleagues' points and consequently would not bother to mention 'em. Presence of mind, that! December 5-9.- Senior Play week fthe censors did not do any rea lharmj was a great success. Adam fell hard and permanently for Evag Uncle Horace up and found himself a job, Lord Horace loved and lostg Doctor Jack tried and lost,g Aunt Abby went to her meetingsg Father paid the bills, and the whole play moved to a blissful, though Kiss-less con- clusion. The Christmas Grads are turning as cocky as Freshmen. It won't be long now! December 12-16.- In Wedensday's Assembly, Christmas grads 'got their licks. They were in- formally admired, patted on the back, and eulogized. The last Searchlight dance of the term took place on Thursday. Evidently the stu- dents did want an annual. Friday brought two great tragedies-term reports and the news of Miss Elster's resig- nation. Vague rumors intermingle with the latter tragedy! How we hate to lose her! Must she go? So wail the History classes. Christman dance Friday night-goodbye Christman Grads! JANUARY January 9-13 The place is infested with Freshmen again, lost creatures full of awe and 'good resolutions. And the rest of us? We're all back again renewing ancient friendships, grabbing our favorite seats in the back row, sitting on study hall desks, and making life miserable for the entire faculty. Two new teachers, Miss Foster and Miss Botts, provide grounds for speculation-can we or can we not work the same old tricks? january 15-20- Another bunch of New Year's Resolutions gone wrong-Freshies can't keep 'em any better than we do. As usual, the Red 'N White has an ac- cusing R U reading your own copy? stuck in every spare corner of the paper. The semi-annual drive is org, :ah ide-cream feed being offered to the home-room which is first to subscribe 100 percent. January 23-27- Unearthly groans and blasts issuing from the Little Theatre proclaim to the entire country fwithin a radius of five blocksl that San Rafael High School is soon to have a band. Walt McCarthy ought to take up the tuba-he's not at all short-winded. On Friday, the Heavyweight Basketball team lost to Analy by a score of 26-27. The THE SEARCHLIGHT Bulldogs are a good team-after they get started. January 30-February 3- Mr. OConnor's homeroom won the Ret 'N White, subscription prize and spent a blissful tif messyl special period consum- ing ice-cream. lviiss Wilber's homeroom bc- lieves that it pays to be last, oven if the suckers were bought at an auction-sale. The cafeteria Cpronounce it c a f-e-tee rial is open now, and if you don't lose your ap- petite after reading Miss Burke's idea of a menu, you can purchase the maximum amount of food at the minimum cost. On Thursday, February second, Friend VV. Richardson, ex-governor of California, addressed the Student Body. His talk on his lrip around the world was most interesting, and we felt his visit an honor to the high school, FEBRUARY February 6-10- Vaudeville preparations are now under way, and no one dares go near the audi- torium for fear of walking into the middle of ii rehearsal. The big game of the basketball season proved a great success for Tam Union. They beat our lightweights 1-17, and not even our rooting section could keep them from run- ning all over the bull dogs. Heaven help those who help themselvesu has been adopted as a motto for the cafe- teria. February 13-17- Searchlight Snapshot week! Friday was founders day in the P.-T. A. organization. A birthday program, includ- ing music and a mammoth cake, was held here at high school. February 20-24- The Alumni Dance on Saturday night was a success. Due to the fact that there were three or four other dances on the same night, no one was injured in the mad rush to get into the bidding and out on the floor. There was no milling mob to smash the carefully planned decorations, but those who did attend, enjoyed the music and refresh- ments. On Monday, Mrs. John Elliot Cook fform- erly Miss Elsterj visited us. With true teacher's instinct, she made straight for the office. She only stayed here long enough to be half smothered in the crowd that immediately surrounded her. Friday, brung the course of a Search- light dance. Harry O'Shaughnessy and Eva johnson won the prize in the dancing con- tCSt. February 27-bflzlrch 2- Such a 'iVodvil! Izzy Redding abso- lutely refused to marry, marry, marry, his CU lady-love, Dorothy Vossbrink, when the latter demanded the key to the chest, and all the money that he possessed. Talk about gold-diggers! The Fashion Show offered amazing spring styles. just ask Davis about the Spring! The Magic Garden was a huge success, ex- cept that the minuet couples were a trifle stand-offish toward each other. Klem Schiek did a fall in Coffee Dan that even out-rivalecl Miss Powell's tumblers- but-what was the matter with the ticket- sellers? INAARCH March 5-9- Spring Fever is abroad in the land. The Thundering herd gallops past lylr. VVater- man's door and out onto the field where it actually crowds Major's boys. The green leaves are shooting forth, the days are getting longer, the sky is turning a tender blue, flowers are making their appearance on teachers' desks, and Barbara Stafford has taken to writing poetry. March 12-16- The famous Girl's League activity, the Iinx, took place this Friday. The Irish jig :lancers surprised even Miss Dufficy Qwho, by the way, has switched her allegiance from Erin to Francel, and the Freshman stunt was a perfect interpretation of a rainy and sunny day. Can girls eat? Ask the Mothers. Our operetta for this year has already been chosen. It is Tulip Time, a story of Hollandg and it has in it a peppy bunch of college boys who have an unerring eye for something beside floral beauty. March 19-23- The Sophomore-Junior debate on Wed- nesday surprised everybody, including the debaters. After the chills and thrills of the speeches were over, it was announced that the juniors had won. For a brief hour they sat on top of the world. Bettyli VVeisenfeld convinced everyone that his magnetic, athletic personality had charmed the judges. One hour of glory-and then, abysmal depths. The Sophomores had won after all. March 26-30- The whole school is full of self-govern- ment agitation. Teachers declare that it will be a splendid system, pupils say they have too many enemies. Not even the jury cares for the idea of student-cops to stand in the halls and grin at their best friends. TAM INI O V UNHOINLY -,.,, Y ,V - I SCHouLiQ?3K!!F ?f 5 7 T3 fx F ' Q .

Ten days of sorely needed vacation in which to Heat' sleep, and be merryg for next week we go back to school. Ain't it a grand and glorious feelin'? No ences, books, papers, pencils, jury warn- ings, or School! Then, all of a sudden it's Monday morning again. April 16-20- In the midst of a flurry of Operetta re- hearsals Mr. Dean is planning the track- meet. A bran' new track, new talent, and above all-publicity for S. R. H. S. The realm is working- doubly hard and the Freshman class has promised its valuable assistance in last minute preparations. Saturday, April 21- Did you see that mile-a-minute tail-light? That was Red Mahar. And do you hear the yells? Of course. That's the S. R. H. S. contingent in the bleachers. Fred Hines, and the above mentioned Mr. Mahar tied as San Rafael's high-point man, and carried off, between them, a handsome silver cup. April 23-27- This is a sort of spring education week The High Schools swarms with wondering wide-eyed eighth-graders w'ho drive the faculty to distraction by popping in or classes. Friday night! Operetta night! The plot seems to be mostly concerned with Dutch- meng and not even college boys are safe from Charlma and jan Prescott. Stan Dun- can, the world's champion hluffer, plays the part of the burgomaster with natural- ness not altogether surprising, considering his poise in Senior English. Charlma turns out to be Ed. Leonardi's Lovely Lady, and fof coursej they all live happily ever after. April 30-May 4- This is the week of recovery from the Operetta and of preparations for the Moth- er's Tea and the orchestra contest at Santa Rosa. The choruses have decided that they don't want to sing another note-until next year. May 7-11- The Mother's Tea was Cof coursej a huge success. Marge, besides playing the saxo- phone, played an important part in the busi- ness of the day and When You and I were Young, Maggie was the theme of the whole party. The contrast between old and new was featured in decorations as well as pro- gram. Those eats, however, were entirely modern and up to date. June 8-!

S an Rafael 0 The San Rafael offense could not get started, so the Sacred Heart won a hard fought gam'e 12 to 0. The team had improved greatly since the Poly game. This im- provement was mostly due to hard practice on the part of the team. St. Ignatius 19 .,.......,...,.....,.,....,...,................. San Rafael 0 The inability of the Bulldogg to hold the Gray Fog's quarterback in check proved their undoing. ln fact, the quarterback almost won the game singlehanded 19 to 0. The game was played, at Ewing Field, San Francisco. ANALY 6-SAN RAFAEL 13 Ahern, Kane, and Nunes showed that they would be dangerous against Analy. The league season started off with a bang when the wearers of the Red 'n White took the Analy Tigers into camp 13 to 6. The game was won in the first few minutes of play. VALLEJO 45-SAN RAFAEL 6 San Rafael did well to hold up the powerful Vallejo Apache grid machine to a 45 to 6 score. Vallejo had weight, speed, and experience advantages over the locals. NAPA 25-SAN RAFAEL 12 Napa won an exceptionally hard fought game from the,Bulldogs 25 to 12 at the Kentffeld Stadium. The Bulldog's desperate playing surprised the Napaites, and they only securely won the game in the last quarter. The Bulldogs fought all the way especially Lewis and lVIcCaskey. PETALUMA 0-SAN RAFAEL 7 The egg men proved incapable of stopping a Bulldog- drive, and San Rafael made the lone score of the game to win from Petaluma 7 to 0. The teams wer.e evenly matched, an dthe outcome was in doubt until the final whistle. Bunny Miller and his namesake, Bill Miller, played a powerful game of football that day. ST. HELENA 7-SAN RAFAEL 'Z .. St. Helena gained a moral victory from San Rafael when they held us to a 7 to 7 tie. In the past seasons, St. Helena has proved easy pickens for the, Bulldogs. The absence of Bunny Miller was a severe handicap to the team since Byron Lewis was forced to take up the duties of quarterback on short notice. SANTA ROSA 32-SAN RAFAEL 6 San Rafael showed a complete reversal of form, and the Santa Rosa grid men rode rough shod over the Bulldogs to win 32 to 6. Santa Rosa's off-tackle and cut-in ends demoralized the local defense. Here, Jim Miller and Paul Ford played as hard as any man on either team, but they had to be contented with many plaudits for their terrific tackles. i TAM 0-SAN RAFAEL 6 The Big Game of Marin County climaxed the season for both Tamalpais Union and San Rafael High School's football teams. The largest crowd of the football season witnessed these two squads battle through 45 minutes of scoreless football, the tie to be broken by an intercepted pass and a spectacular 72 yard run by Jim Ahern in the last three minutes of the play to give the Bulldogs the game 6-0. l73l 1 J 3 i . LIGHTVJEIGHT FOOTBALL SQUAD SAN RAFAEL LIGHTVVEIGHTS On August 21st twenty-five men reported to Ccach Benefield for practiceg of these twenty-five, six were veterans: Captain Oitz, Ghilotti, lVIann, lvlahar, Row- land, Gnoss. Coach Bnefield has the distinct honor of coaching the first lightweight team to championship. Cajtain Cbitz throughout the season showed his ability as a player and a leader. The mtn who contributed to the success of the team were: Obitz, Ghilotti, A. Tagnoli, Rowland, Mahar, Clancy, lVIann, Jones, VVarden, Gnoss, Bouche, Hines, Lauchinauer, Hammond, Simontacchi, Lundgren, Geer, Ferarrio, Garcia, Shoemaker, Donnely, Knopf, Croci, and Chong. SAN RAFAEL O-MISSION 0 The first game of the season found the Bulldogs battling the Mission Padres on the Tarn School field to a scoreless Lie, Most of the game was fought in mid-field on even terms. This game was a great help to Coach Benefield in his search for first string men among the new players. SAN RAFAEL 6-LOWELL 13 Lowell, playing with many ineligible men, placed the only defeat of the season on the locals when they defeated us 13 to 6. Lowell prviously defeated the Emeryville High and the South San Francisco High first teams. The defeat was no disgrace, because the Bull Puppies gave all they had. They had just met a team that was too powerful for them. SAN RAFAEL 25-ST. IGNATIUS 0 The Lowell defeat stung the Bulldog Babes, and from then on they played champ- ionship football, defeating all corners. St. Ignatius proved easy pickings the follow- ing Saturday when the Babes traveled to San Francisco to trounce them 25 to O. The St. Ignatius Coach complimented the team on its clean playing and well executed plays. SAN RAFAEL 13-NAPA 0 San Rafael, by scoring a touchdown in each half, easily trounced the Ngipaitcs 13 to 0. The Bulldog pups were threatening the Napa Goal for the third time when i741 THE SEARCHLIGHT the final gun stopped them. The game was featured by accurate passing from Obitz to lVIann and Connell, and shifty open field running by Bouche and Gnoss. SAN RAFAEL 16-TANIALPAIS UNION 0 The Tam Union game proved the highlight of the season, for both teams were supposedly evenly matched on early season showing. However, from the start of the game, the Babes showed their superiorityg and when the final gun sounded the score- board showed San Rafael I6-Tam 0. Cyprien Bouch, and Harry Obitz starred. Ghilotti and Obitz stepped up to the big team after this game. SAN RAFAEL 58-TANI SCHOOL 6 Tamalpais School proved easy pickings for the powerful offensive of the San Rafael Babes. They were snowed under 58 to 6. Many new players starred in this contest. Hammond, jones, Clancy, and Captain Rowland Celected to take Obitz's place when he went to the heaviesj were the mainstay of the line. Hines proved his ability as a line plunger and quarterback. Lauchenaur showed up well, while Bouche, Gnoss, Garcia, and Simontacchi play their usual brilliant game. SAN RAFAEL I3-PETALUNIA 6 Petaluma proved to be the last victimg for they were defeated 13 to 6 in a fast, hard fought game. The Petaluma boys wereperhaps the most powrful team the boys en- countered in tlte whole season, but they were held in the line by the stellar work of Captain Rowland, Red lVIahar, Hank Mann, Beau Jones, and Cooney Connell. The San Rafael backfield proved too fast for them. Thus the lightweights ended their season with colors flying, and with handsome prospects for next year. '23 A MESSAGE TO THE BOYS A lwessagel A thought to mull over in moments of serious reflection! An idea to furnish inspiration in the turmoil of life! What shall it be? To indite such a message, however brief, to a group with which one has been constantly and closely associated would require a genius for epigrammatic coinage to which I dare not lay claim. Terse yet not trite, thought inspiring yet practicalg what a task! One only idea suggests itself, at once serviceable and inspirational, and here it is- It isn't what you get out of a thing that makes it worthwhileg rather is it what you put into the thing. lt isn't what you get out of school that is of greatest valueg rather is it what of yourself you put into the school. Participation in student activities, live interest in school citizenship-these, coupled with earnest application to class duties, are the criterion of a successful school year. Remember that he who does no more than he is paid for is never paid for any more than he does. l75l THE SEARCHLIGHT SAN RAFAEL HEAVYXVEIGHT BASKET BALL Although, the heavyweight team failed to win many games this year, it will be remembered for many seasons as oneg of the best spirited teams put out in San Rafael High School in many years. The boys fought an uphill fight against more experi- enced teams, and although they lost games, they gained experience that will stand them in good stead next season. Coach Jones spent the season in developing material for next years' team, and ne succeeded so well that we may hope for the championship next year. The members of the team were Captain Daly, Rusty Ghilotti, James Ahern, VVii- liam Kane, Charles Clivio, Hector Liati, Mziurice Jump, Clyde Reynvaan, Frances Lake, Byron Lewis, and Peach Farrell.

Captain Connell, Harry Obitz, Red lVIahar, and Walter Mann. The season was a great success considering the many handicaps the boys had to overcome. The little big game was the best ever. Tamalpais led until the last few moments of the game when the San Rafael team came from behind with a wonderful rally and grabbed a one point lead. They held this lead until just before the final gun when Tamalpais sunk a long basket from midcourt to win by one point. San Rafael 19 ......................... .................

CLASS C The first season of the Class C team proved a great success under the capable di- rection of Coach Woods, the team developed great possibilities for future San Rafael Class B material. Captain Hines was a stellar guard, while Sinnott and Clark starred on offense and basket shooting during the season. The squad consisted of Captain Hines, G. Sinott, Healy, R. Ghillotti, E. Grady, G.

Nine veterans of previous years including Captain Bill Kane, shortstopg Charles Clivio and Byron Lewis, pitchcrsg Rusty Ghilotti, catcherg jack Travis and Chip La Franchi, first baseman, Hector Liati, second basemang Jim Ahern, third basemang and Chester Kimball in the outfield, are out fighting to bring the league championship to San Rafael. These men are being pressed for their positions by some very promising rookies in- cluding Al Ferrario, a Freshman pitcher with lots on the ball, Barney Keena, and Peaches Farrel. These men, because of early season showing, are playing in the first string outfieldg however Phillips, Lundgren, and Hardesty are pressing them closely for their positions. - Jack O'Shaughnessy and Guy Cain are holding down jobs as substitute infielders. Both boys are hard hitters, and they will see much service this year. George Vfarden is holding the slants of the second team pitchers. ' V Three regular early season games have been played, the high school winning one and losing two. In justice to the team it must be said that the rookies all had a chance to perform, thus the strongest team was very seldom cn the field as a unit. The strong Sacred Heart team was taken down the line to the tune of 7 to 2. Lowell defeated the locals the following Saturday 9 to 6g and the alumni too, with a team composed of many of the best players in lVlarin -County, handed the High School a 9 to 4 heating. Ferrario, Lewis, and Clivio saw service in all three games from the mound. ln practice tussels the Bulldogs have easily defeated the San Rafael Nlilitary Academy and Tamalpais school. Coach Dean has developed many of his players from their Freshmen year, and has molded to gether a squad of real good ball players that serve as a credit to his fine coaching. Captain Bill Kane is without a doubt the best fielding shortstop to represent the high school within the last five years, and his hitting has been hard and consistent.

B ill Small Under the able direction of Major Cuffe and Mr. Benefield, Track this year was very successful. Everyone was out for practice everyday with the result that both Class AH and Class C teams were able to give a good account of themselves at the C. I. F. meet-on our field, April 21. Since this meet was the first competative meet of the year, the public knew very little about the real ability of our boys, consequently, there was several agreeable sur- prises during the course of the meet. It was a well known fact, for example, that Bill Kane could throw a discus, but only his closest friends knew that he was good for a first place. lt might be well to add here that Bill was handicapped by lack of practice because of his many duties as Base- ball Captain. Red Maliar, the standby of the Class C team, furnished another agreeable sur- prise.

Sometimes we lacked fancy divers, other times distance men, and still others, breast stroke men, but this year the team is well balanced and strong in every race. The class B team consists of Walter Mahar, Jack Clancy, James' Hammond and Theodore Reindollar from last year. There are many new men reporting and those who will probably make the team are Hank Mann, George Warden, Rusty Ghilotti, Harold Connell, and Klemn Schieck. The class A team has such old stand-byes as Bill Levy, Harry Obitz, Bill Kane, Fraser MacDonald, Virgilio Cheda, Donald Richardson, Price Brownlee, and John Pitcher. All this goes to show that San Rafael is entering the strongest team in years and under Coach Mellen nothing but success shall be their reward. TENNIS H9281 The S. R. H. S. tennis team represented in the C. I. F. League competition for the Fall and Spring seasons. During the former we have Captain Ben Quan, Bob Moore, and Bill Orth as active regulars franking as writtenj Quan was the only veteran player of our team. The latter we have Quan, first singles, llioore, second singles: and Obtiz and Schiek formed the doubles combination. SCHEDULE FOR FALL S. R. defeated Tam.

Mellen. This committee was very active this semester, and did some very import- ant things for the school. Chief among these things was the staging of the North Bay League track meet here. Special credit should be given Mr. Dean, lVIr. Jones, Mr. Hartzell, and Major Cuffe for the success with which this meet was conducted. i321 'Humor ONE OF THOSE HALL SLIPS CIN THE NEAR FUTUREJ PY Y FIRS-'kb' if--,WWW NIIDDLE SURNAME N.'XRlli Charles Virgilio fiU9f f0'1f1fY1bf'f9 i , Eviss Hazel WEIGHT 280 iXATlOlNAl,lTW 1f1lllFl'll'IlIl HEIGHT 6-2 HAIR Liyht and Curly IJRESSIZD AS FOLLOWS: Tuwwl Sllif--P1115 fours-yellow slzoex-amber goggles.
