Lion 3, 4 It is impossible to ignore the beauty of our own San Ramon Valleyg the beauty that drew its pioneer it is equally impossible to ignore what they have done and left behind, materially their home. The seven sketches disclose a surprisingly wide range of history through the struggles of the people to establish their original homes. As tie pioneers fought the wilderness and left their homes as monu ments to their conquests, so the leaders of our Annual Staff have courageously tackled this print- ing and labored to com emorate the old and new. Our Wish to this new generation, our Seniors, is that they will be builders and doers ---- modern pioneers.

Jeannette Stone, she is Mrs. Bunce, now, and I went to the same little school. Our families and others hired Miss naura Cornwall in 1835 to pound the three Rfs into us. The Stones brought a pickle jar of syrup every day to spread on bread for lunchg I had my share. Jeannette Stone owne here with her parents in f54. Her fatherfs cousin sold them the large place he had bought from the Mexicans. The house was a rec- tangular adobe, old then, with a verandah on two sides? it seemed like Mexico itself with the blood- red pomegranates and century plants around you. Bat the ownership was disputed in the true early- Califernian manner, Manyfs the time when wefd be playing and hear voices in the shop and there would be the Vboiled shirtsu again, boiled shirts were the city men, and they meant that there had been another claim come up against Stoneis title Wefd all stumble through the house, years of fan: dangoing had left the redwood floor very uneven, crying The boiled shirts are herein mother would say resignedly Well, I have to go on wearing rags.n Course that bad, but I guess the Stones had or four times for that place.

He was at the Alamo Hotel, and I donft wonder new days how he developed his temper for we pestered him most to death just to get him riled and have him carry on. And there were dances, and the caballeros, and Murietta, and the time the ox get mired and had its neck broken, and the earth- quake, but I guess IYve told you all you want to know about the Stone place. y SENIOR GLASS OFFICERS President --------------------- Fred Brear f' Vice-President--- ----- ------ Betty Mauzy K Secretary ---- --- ----------- Robert Annis Advisors--- --- -- ----- Mrs. Meckfessel g Mr. Bisig 5 SENIOR GLASS HISTORY r Four years ago a large class of students in- vaded San Ramon Valley Union High School, to begin the process of receiving a higher education. We were rather bewildered at first, but soon got our bearings, and finished our first year with flying colors, after winning the Freshman Reception. iOf course the Juniors helped us a little.J As Sophomores we again took the cake at the Frosh Reception, this time combined with the Seniors. Our Soph Hop, the theme of which was an old fashioned barn dance, was quite a success. We actually made a few dollars ---- who ever heard of such a thing! We gave numerous hot dog and candy sales thereby increasing the size of our treasury. , In our third year the Junior Play nSkiddingn was presented to a very interested audience, and the proceeds helped us to put on a very nswankyn banquet for the Seniors of that year. We presented HJonesyW as our farewell play, and believe us when we say it was a howling suc- cess, and exceptionally well received. We know our Senior Banouet and Ball will be gala events. The Juniors of this year are very enterprising. Our four years are over, and some- times when we look back it seems just yesterday that we came to San Ramon, very green and very scared little Freshmen. These years have been the most pleasant ones of our school career, and we take with us, as we go, memories and friends that will never be forgotten. I 1 -V 3 'W R. . TO THE GRADUATING CLASS Now that you have reached the goal toward which you have been striving for the past four years, have you tried to test the value of your high school education? Has your education meant for you that you can sit alone and meditate upon the purpose of life? Has your education meant that you are now able to appreciate the privi- leges that have been yours as a result of the foresight and sacrifice of the previous gener- ations? Has your education made you realize that CHARACTER is the most important product that any education can give you? Has your education meant that your own evaluation of your success in life shall be based upon the degree to which you con- tribute to thehuman happiness in the world? If your education has meant these things to you, then those who have had the privilege and responsibility of helping you in your upward progress will feel that their efforts have not gone unrewarded. , 4. - , 4 4' 4' .Q ' xe I i l U v ,C v Q V v Florence Goula rc Regner Hansen Betty Muuzy Manuel Tcicheira liilippo Zunino Torothy White Vivian Krafr Armand Andersen Pat Curran Anita Jorgensen Gordon Davies Merle johnson Dorothy Sandknhle Margaret Alexander james Sawyer Tum Murodomi Gordon lilliorr Arlen Scott Fred Brear Edna Mae Higgins Normfm Harper Arven Scott Eula jinncrte Amil Dundem Lyman Stoddard Wilma lluluer lidward jnlinwcn -- - --f - Ha...

Following are a few excerpts from it: July 20, 1956. Attending the Olympic Games. in Germany, I discovered that Florence Goularte Had taken first place in Fancy High Diving and that i Robert Annis broke all previous records by running the mile in four minutes, four seconds. Stopping at a hot dog stand on my way out, I found Betty Mauzy diligently chopping onions for a hamburger sandwich. Sept. 5, l944.' While in Geneva Switzerland,, met Merle Johnson who informed me that he repre- sented the United States in the League of Nations, and that his wife, the former Anita Jorgensen was conducting a skiing class in the Alps. Sept. 9, 1944. On board ship. Het Fred Brear going home for a vacation after a few strenuous years of missionary work in Africa. Oct. 20, 1944. New York. Attended an opera presented by the Metropolitan Opera Company, the head of which is Regner Hansen. The most im- portant stars of the performance were Margaret Al- exander, soprano and Bill Monroe, tenor. Going' back stage to pay my respects to my old friends, I encountered Vivian Kraft now chief costume de- signer for the company. Oct. 24, 1944. New York. Visited a special radio program sponsored by the Scott Brothers' Muscle Ointment Company, featuring Filippo Zunino, the world famous announcer. Ie introduced another noted performer, Gordon Elliott. This second Rudy Vallee sang a medley of popular songs. Oct. 25, 1944. New York. Parked double on Fifth Avenue. Policeman Pat Curran was forced to give me a ticket as he would not be bribed. Ap- peared in court later, and to my amazement dis- covered that the hard-boiled judge was Jim Sawyer. For old times' sake he reduced mr fine to 35.00. If N Oct. 51, 1944. South Bend, Indiana. At- tended the Notre Dame-Harvard football game and found that Tom Morodomi was the head coach of Notre Dame. Nov. 20, 1944. Hollywood. Met Fifi Skaven- ski, the 1944 Wampus Star of Hollywood. Her face seemed familiar so I investigated and found her to be none other than my old school mate, Julia Cam- acho. Nov. 24, 1944. Sacramento. Found Edna Mae Higgins running a large vegetable farm near here. She told me that Eula Jinnette is now a manikin in Paris. Nov. 29, 1944. Visited Dorothy Sandkuhle, living in the exclusive residential district of Danville--Orchard Heights. Discussing old friends I learned that Manuel Teicheira Cunmarriedj is now Fire Chief of Danville and that Gordon Davies is the sole owner of the Davies Glue Company of the large city, Alamo. Nov. 50, 1944. Read in the Danville Buzzer, the leading newspaper in the city, which is edited by Dorothy White that Lyman Stoddard is about to open his new barber shop. He will specialize in pompadour haircuts. Dec. 1. 1944. Visited nUp-and-Comingn San Ramon. Several huge buildings have sprung up since I last visited here. I found that Amil Dondero and Armand Anderson were sole owners of the tallest skyscraper, the A d A Motorcycle Factory. . Dec. 50, 1944. My trip comes to an end here and as I look at the last page in my diary, I find that Norman Harper is the most prominent veterinary in this locality. He has been engaged in this kind of work for several years and has recently been elected the President of the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. . Signed, Wilma Huber. A , . .

Twenty- four passengers were transferred from the S.S. Grammar School. The first social affair aboard ship was the Freshman Reception. At the end of our first voyage we went ashore for three months. In September we boarded the good ship Sopho- more leaving a few members of the crew in port, and adding some new names to our passenger list. We had clear sailing during this voyage with the Soph Hop to cheer us on our way. We are now in mid-ocean on our way to Sum er Port III where we shall embark for our fourth voyage on the S.S. Senior. And its Ship Ahoy! Joking and jolly Understanding and gay Never unhappy In work or in play On all occasions Right on the spot Surely we are--the cream ot the lot. n ' V7 n sopsomoas ctwss orricsas President -------------- ----- Douglas Kelly Vice-President -------- ------ David Olsson Secretary ------- ----- ------- Betty Strait Advisors -------- Q ------------- Miss Finney Mr. Cooley SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The class of '55 approached the school with widely varied attitudes. We were all on edge until the Freshman Reception, but after that we felt as if we were full-fledged High School Students. The scholastic coasting was harder than we had expected, and harder than we were ac- customed to, but our representation on the Honor Roll was not sparse, and several Sophomores made C. S. F. r A Being ambitious, to a Freshman-like degree we tried a candy sale and made a few dollars. This year we came back as old timers, and went out at once to chisel '35 in the school an- nals. Our Sophomore Hop, a barn dance, with all the rustic atmosphere, was a great success. The mid-year exams have floated past and we again move another step toward our goal, knowing that the next two years will be equally enjoyable. ----s0pns---- We are the Sophomores, the Sophomores are we, Right on the job as you can always see, And when it comes to making money, We're like bees around the honey, For we are the Sophomores, you see! MIL . l.. , .V V FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President ----------------- Leland Fercira Vice-President ------------ Dolores Peters Secretary ----------------- Clara Lawrence Advisor ---------------- F---Mrs. Prescott FRTSHMAN CLASS HISTORY The class of '56 entered San Ramon High on August 29, 1952. Throughout the year the Fresh- men have taken an active part in many of the school activities. At the Girls' League nGct- Togethcru, the Freshmen girls furnished the pro- gram for the entertainment of the other classes. In the Christmas Play, the three leading parts were taken by Freshmen boys. On January 5, the Freshmen gave a Pie and Cake Raffle, which turned out to be quite profi- table. This gave us a beginning for our treasury fund, and with all the enthusiasm and ambition we' have in our class it shouldn't be long before we have a bank account. During the year the Freshman boys have taken part in many athletic activities. There were five Freshman boys on the football team, and our boys took second place in the annual nCross Country Run So far the class has obtained a good start on its high school career, and looks forward with pleasant anticipation to success in the following years.

Horton, of Livermore it was that built it for 'em. It was ready on New Years Eve of 1872 and there was a big house- warming, you may be sure. And then in February a little girl was born. Back in Civil War days when nUnelo Tem's Cabinn was so popular they'd gotten the name of their youngest boy, Shelby, and this was their little Eva. She grew to be the prettiest child I have ever seen. Golden curls and great blue eyes. But like the story she died a child. It was a hard blow, but they keep her close to them. She lies in their little ee- metery cast of the house, you've seen it. Tom'd married back east, but she lies by the trail. That was a hard trip for a woman in those days. William was his child by Elizabeth Neal. He was married again a year before he came here to a girl named Kifer, Laurentio Kifer. They had eight children I think. It was for her he built the house. And a great show-place it was, so ' large and square and white, and lots of molding and braekett and balustrade--those were impor- tant points in judging a fine house then. But its the front porch that somehow seems to say wo're from the South. Those six white square columns and the magnolia, and the ivy trees-- It was very beautiful the other day when I was there. It was a windy, cloudy day and that white porch alternatingly gleamed and fell into shadow, I cut in. Yes, we've been having funny weather for May, more like April or March.

B This was the best banquet in the history of the school, both financially and hilariously. Coach Slip Madigan of Saint Mary's, the guest of honor, gave a short talk on Sportsmanship in Football. Speeches were also given by Mr. Bisig, Mr. Brown, Mr. Olsson and Mr. Cooley. Mr. Johnson sang a few songs, and Alvin Leske p1ayed a selection on his accordion. After the banquet the fathers and sons went to the auditorium to see' a movie, The Headless Horseman , starring Will Rogers. .The Banquet, an annual get to-gether for the fathers and sons, is prepared by the Boys' League. The afternoon of the banquet finds all the fellows in house aprons, seasoning soups and setting the tables. This dinner is a real he-man affair, with all effeminate table decorations and small helpings cast out. Fathers and sons become real pals over heaping plates of good food, and there are plenty of seconds and thirds in the kitchen. After the Captains and Kings depart the dish- washing crew comes in for its part of the enter- tainment. But it's wort? it-Q-ask any of the fellows. The soapsuds fly, dishes disappear, and soon the place is spick and span---who says boys can't clean up as well as girls! W Yi THE GIRLS' LEAGUE President ------- M -------------------- Wilma Huber, Vice-President--f ----------- --------- Betty Mauzy Secretary ---------- --------------- Phyllis Spence Advisor ------------ -------------- Mrs. Meckfessel The Girls' League has been more active this year than any other year we can remember. It just seems that we have so many ambitious girls in our midst it keeps us busy all the time. The first event of the year was, of course, the Girls'-get-together to properly initiate the Freshman girls into the group. That Freshman Class is so enterprising that we aren't sure yet who was initiated. They gave the old girls a playlet, and proved much good entertainment. Punch and cookies were enjoyed by all. This was the most exciting time of the afternoon, Rinse no one kept tab on the number of glasses of punch you drank and since there was plenty and--well--we'll leave the rest to your imagination. A Flower Show was given by the Women's Club of Danville, and the Girls' League put on the Silver Tea for the afternoon and evening. We are always right there when it comes to food, and we cleared a little silver for the treasury too. The tables were set on the stage, and with the kind contributions from the Sandkuhle nursery, and num- erous of Danville's gardens, we turned that stage into a real flower garden. Ask Wilma about impro- vising a kitchen in a music room, she will tell you all about it, and joys of cooking, serving, and washing dishes backstage. Our Mothers' and Daughters' banquet was the usual success ----- we canft seem to remember one that hasn't been ---- thanks to the kindness of all the Mothers and Daughters and faculty. This year's idea was a Spring Flower Festival. The spring was so late we just had to mass flowers in the Home Econ building to persuade ourselves that we weren't dreaming, and that flowers really were blooming. This banquet certainly does bring out the Mothers and are we glad! It seems so good to see so many of them all at once ----- and we especially like for 7 Y ,I 1 them to see that we too can put on a dinner even if we haven't very much experience. The Girls' League picnic was held at Russel- man Park on May 26. I can't imagine what would happen if all the mothers didn't turn out to help us make it a success. They certainly did see that we had all the food we could eat, and of course we ATE as usual. Such cakes! Such pies! Such salads Oh me ------ I All the girls brought some certain- ' thing such as a salad, sandwiches, cakes, etc., then we all dived in and ate till a lot of us had to drive home easily over the bumps to avoid burst- ing. The water was fine, and in spite of the ants, flies and sunburn, a merry time was had by all. This year the Girl's League decided that since we can't have inter-school competition in athletics, and therefore have no way of earning a letter, we should devise some type of a point system that would enable girls to get the coveted trophy the Junior or Senior year. A point system was organized whereby any girl in school will be able to earn enough points for the letter if she goes out for a reasonable amount of activities, and does a reasonable arount of extra-curricular work. There are so many girls who work faithfully and without reward for any school activity, and now they may earn a reward for that self-effacing work. Points are given for holding offices, for part- icipation in Play Casts, for every hour of extra work around school, in fact the name Service Point accur-' ately describes the type of system that is used. Since the system was just started this year, all the girls decided to give the three Seniors with the highest total points for the next two years a letter. This will give the present Seniors and Juniors a chance to earn a letter. The symbol that has been chosen is green and gold, embodying the school colors. A large golden S. H. is placed on a circle of green. The symbol is about six inches in diameter, and can be worn on most any sweater or jacket. The girls are all very proud of our new system and we know that it will be a success and fulfill its purpose.

Before orchestra was well organized the entire music load fell on the girls, but this year we have had more time for actual instruction therefore producing better choral numbers. The Boys' Glee Club was organized at the request of several boys in school who saw the need for vocal work as well as orchestral training. Although they have made few public appearances, the boys feel that the year has been valuable to them resulting in some ability to read music and to exercise their vocal abilities, There have been three special musical programs this year. Early in the Fall, the girls' glee club and a massed chorus of the boys' and girls' glees, furnished music at intervals during the afternoon and evening, at the Women's Club Flower Show. ' At the Christmas Charity Show, the combined groups produced the sacred Christmas Cantata, nThe Child Jesusn, which gave opportunities for solo and duet work as well as five choruses. The last public appearance of the whole of the Glee clubs was for the May Music Festival, when the boys made their first appearance very successfully as a Boys' Glee Club. The girls also gave three fine numbers. As a finale that day, the massed choruses sang, accompanied by the school orchestra. A selected group of twelve from each organ- ization forming a mixed Glce Club have entertained successfully, especially at the Jordon Oak Pilgrimage and at Women's Club affairs, such as the dedication of the John Muir Park on Mt. Diablo. Each year seems to bring added interest to each musical organization within the school. i , ,, . .

Reilly. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, under the direction of Miss Ruth Finney presented a Cantata, NThe Child Jesusn. The solo numbers were sung by: Amelia Campanale, Willise Main, and Vincent Cam- panale. The Freshman and Sophomore classes presented the one-act play, NWhy the Chimes Rangu, under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Prescott. The scenery, designed and prepared by Bill Hendricks made a very effective background for the medieval costumes made by the girls of the Homemaking Department under Mrs. Mary A. Binns' direction. The cast of the play was composed of the following members of the Freshman and Sophomore classes: Tulane Carrington, Ted Main, Walter Frick, Isabelle Teicheira, Douglas Kelly, Leo Stanley, Joe Teicheira, Josephine Lion, Forest Shaklee, Willise Main, Thomas Mayo, and Jean Miller. We feel that this program has been a decided success in the past two years. The Women's Club arranged the baskets and distributed the food, and we know that every one felt a little better for the presence of so much Christmas spirit. The little tots were not forgotten, for Mr. Brown's boys in Woodwork turned out some of the cutest wooden toys we've seen in a long time. There were Jumping jacks, airplanes, monkeys, men that boxed with each other, dolls that jump over sticks all brightly colored, and so happy looking they would brighten the Christmas of any child!

Under the direction of Principal Joseph Bisig a general committee was or- ganized with representatives from every organization in the valley. This group drew up plans for the general program of the day. With Mr. A. E. Davies of Alamo, as the Master of Ceremonies, and Mr. Fred Wiedemann of San Ramon as Marshal of the Day' a long parade formed at the High School grounds on May l, and paraded the length of the town and ' back to the school. There were floats of all des- criptions, Spanish riders, doll ar p ades, bicycles, one-hoss shays, and even a wild man Numerous prizes were donated by the these were awarded after the judges selections. Just as the parade returned to in.a cage. Sequoians, and had made their the school grounds it began to rain, and continued all after- noon. An elaborate sports' program had been planned for the afternoon, but since the weather did not clear up it had to be abandoned, and everyone danced in the school auditorium instead. Many people showed a desire to continue the dance that night, so the orchestras consented, and the dancing continued until about eleven-thirty that night. ' In spite of the bad weather, and in spite of the fact that the picnic lunches had to be eaten inside the building, everyone seemed to have no' end of fun, and the consensus of opinion was that the day was a huge success. Certainly every organ- ization in the valley did its utmost to cooperate and make the day one to be remembered for some time. .People who formerly lived in the valley and moved away returned for the day, and in every corner one could see friends who in some cases had not seen each other for some years, talking over old times and pastimes. It seems to be the hope of nearly everyone that the old custom will be carried out in the years to come, and not just revived for one year. x S !T X f I R s 1 ,pu I iifJ'1gK KT?

Rising from the shrub- by mass about it, almost unreal but for a light filtering through a blinded window. Yes, there's something about it I can't explain. You remember I told you about Mr. Hemme over there in Hemme Park and the San Ramon Harlens. Well, Hem e's son Clar- ence was to be married to Helena Harlen, and August Hemme built the place as a fit home for the chil- dren of the two wealthy pioneer families. No ex- pense was spared in the making, the best archi- tects and builders were hired and Mr. Homme him- self superintended the planting of the grounds. There were great stock and carriage barns construc- ted and the ideal farm mansion was presented to the happy couple as the wedding party swept up the curving drive to the door. But play-boy, rich man's son Clem couldn't make a husband for pio- neer Helena. Nothing was said, she just went heme. Soon after this August Hemme failed in his im ense water project down in Arizona, and though there were other things that might be blamed, that finished him. The Hemme's lest everthing. Clarence was good-hearted, but he hadn't his father's business head and without his allow- ance I guess he died in the poor-house. You see the house reflects the tragedy and sorrows and misfortunes of its master. Perhaps Helena and Clem still laugh and love in those patterned shadows, - F7 ' .7 REVENGE g We had been together at Harvard but had ex- perienced no companionship there. In fact, we had been enemies almost from the first day, Hall was in those days, a small, thin, nervous type of man, who, with his associates, perfectly epitomized the English dandy. Perhaps it was that fact which in- stilled in me the contempt of him. Behind him were years of well-bred English ancestors each of whom had, as time wore on and family wealth accumulated, found it entirely unnecessary to expend his physical and mental energies in the accumulation of money, and this petted namby- pamby was the result. This alone was enough to sanction extreme disgust but the fact that he had a yellow streak justified actual hatred. He was always very clever in concealing his weakness and the ordinary person not coming in actual daily contact with him would never have suspected it. He was an unmistakeable cheat. Belonging to an old crowd, I was in a position to injure him socially, and at every possible opp- ortunity could not resist the temptation to do sox Thus within several months we became bitter en- emies. As the years dragged onward and that brief interval of Harvard days became more deeply en- meshed in the long ago, I had heard from time to time the tales of success and woe concerning my former school-mates, and occasionally someone would mention Hall's name. After years of playing the shiftless man about town, practically devoid of cares and responsibilities, he had now settled down to the gratification of his hobby of collect- ing precious jewels! In the fall of 1928 we returned from Egypt and were busily engaged in adjusting ourselves to running water at anytime of day or night, efficient hotel service, and digestible food, when Hall's card reached us. Uwill you and your wife lunch with me tomorrow at 1:30 p.m., at my Have hotel? Will engage private dining room. something that may interest you.N Thoroughly sur- prised, I carried it to my wife, and together we commented on it. Assured that it must be some- thing of extreme importance I hastily scribbled, f ,4-4 9 W Wwe shall be delighted,N across the back and hand- ed it to the waiting messenger boy. , It is not our habit to be punctual but that day our curiosity prompted our punctuality. I, was, however, not fully prepared for the shock I received. The man who met us, although younger than I, seemed years older. His eyes, sunken in their sockets seemed to speak of loneliness and failure to succeed, and I actually found myself pitying him. But when with a sneering laugh, he explained to my wife that we had been at school together, the hatred for him I had experienced in those far away days, again surged up within me and flowed through every vein. The mere formalities over, the conversation shifted to other subjects. He had heard about us and our wanderings a good many times and had been looking forward to meeting us. It was not until we had nearly finished dessert that he spoke of his reason for calling us. A few months before, while traveling he had picked up a very fine hobby specimen and he had been eager to show it to some one who would app- reciate so beautiful a thing. We sat back easily lulled by the monotony of his voice, absorbing his personality which seemed to sap vibrancy from the jewels which he described. . As we drained our coffee cups he hastily arose to return shortly with a golden box about six in- ches square, set with rubies, emeralds, and several large diamonds. If we had suffered from any leth- argy before, we were certainly alert now. It was magnificent. We had commented upon it for some moments, when I chanced to glance upward to the mantel above the fireplace at the timepiece. There, reflected, in the glass of the dial, I was startled to see the smooth, dark face of a man. For some reason I could not locate the position of the face within the room, and with no explanation, rose hastily from my chair. I slowly circled that room and as I reached the window I felt a little draft from behind the heavy, velvet drapes. I suddenly drew aside those drapes, to see the window, which open- ed out on to a balcony slowly closing. There was no one there! By this time the other occupants of thc room were thoroughly aroused. J .VY Yi My alarm, however, was unappreciated for Hall said, WHad you noticed the bronze statue before the window over there? It is Cand he named a famous heroj a very life-like statue. It has a fear provoking trick of reflecting itself in the face of that mantel clock if the drapes blow back. Several months later with unconcern we read of Hall's death in the obituary column of the London Times. Our unconcern soon turned to be- wilderment because within a short time we were requested to be present at the reading of his will. At this reading the fact came that the deceased had been a very ill man for the past year and had known for four months that the end was very near. His physician verified this statement and delivered a lengthy discourse as to the nature of his ailment The discovery was also made that we were the heirs to the golden box. My wife was delighted with it and valued it above any of our other unique poss- essions, seeming to connect some good luck charms with our inheritance of the box. My only concern was an eternal, WWhy?H ' ' So it was five months later when we talked of touring Africa she insisted on taking it with us. She would listen to no arguments. She had made up her mind and nothing could ever change it. My wife is like that.--So the box went with us. In our attempt to get as far away from civil- ization as possible we procured a miserable native hut within the boundaries of the jungle. The neces sary articles were packed in on the backs of natives, and within a month or so, we were comfortable es- tablished, Cespecially for Africab. Our househald equipment consisted of two cots, two soap boxes, two sauce pans, a skillet, a comb, a staff of five big black natives and one golden box. From the very first we had trouble with the servants. No sooner had we unpacked and arranged our few possessions than the first staff deserted, with the exception of one, and he, too, seemed to be uneasy. He seemed more intelligent than the others and spoke a few words of English. He was a great favorite with my wife who called him Stipo. He seemed to fit unquestionably at the head of each new staff of servants. After repeated disruptions in our household by constant change of servants, Alice took it 57 W upon herself to question Stipog a long tongue weary- ing and unsuccessful process. A One evening, several months later, we were abrupt ly aroused by the muffled beat of the tom-tom and the piercing wails of human voices in the distance. It was Alice who again enlightened me. Stipo had made her understnad in his few English words, that this was the brief interval when all of savage Africa laid aside its barbarous hunting habits to worship at the feet of its many gods. Hours seemed heaped on hours before the monotonous rhythm of their dance brought them nearer our hut. With their coming we became aware of the sickening odor of burning flesh which came in nauseating waves through the thin walls of the hut. Feeling strangely ill we sought refuge on the beaten mud and thatch square before the hut. But it was heavier there. At last as though drugged we dropped to the ground to sit huddled in an agony of nausea from which there was no escape. A Some hours later we arose to go inside. The air was clearer and the odor less noticeable. As we neared the doorway something new issued forth, causing a stinging sensation in our nostrils. The odor was entirely different, as was the giddy feeling that it produced. Something was wrong! I lit a match to discover that the whole room had been thoroughly ransacked. In one corner I stumbled over a small object, and upon a closer investigation, I identified it as an incense burner from hence - curled a smoke, the fumes of which filled the room. Quickly extinguishing it, I opened the small case on a box near by which so far had enclosed the golden box. It was gone: There was a slight draft then which caused the tiny flare of the match to waver and go out, leaving us in total blackness. I fumbled for another match, and upon lighting it touched it to the wick of the small oil lamp which was near-by. Alice screamed and pointed to- ward the opposite corner. There lay the crumpled figure of a man, the smooth, dark skin across his chest stained with blood. In horror I recognized the smooth and bronze face that had been reflected in the clock dail. Stipo had disappeared! From one of the servants that remained we V ' -- Y -f ---- 1- , -1 - I.-7 -.,. ' ! I z tifi ff N learned that the golden box which we valued so highly, had been stolen from a certain African tribe and was destined to bring death to whom- ever it belonged unless returned to the tribe. We began to understand the queer antics of the natives. We shivered at the thought of that twisted mind that had nursed a school grudge to become this vengeance. He, of course, had known the shadow that hung over this rarity and on learning the doetor's prediction had searched for an enemy to inherit this death warrant. The bitter ache of his school fe1low's taunts was still raw in his heart and the one most scornful of the fellows had been I. . Two days later Stipo returned. We found him cleaning a bird he had trapped for our dinner. He made no explanations and when Alice questioned him about the incident of the murder, his stolid unintelligence was clearly a guilc. Stipofre- dicted every native disturbance, learned every scrap of jungle news within a hundred mile radius but he was strangely uninformed as to the murder of the man who came to steal the golden box. ?rize Story Dorothy White SANCTUARY Moonlight steeped the moor. The low grasses murmured in the wind. Otherwise all was silent, the lonely and deathly silence that is felt only in the vast waste lands. Silent and lonely as the moor itself, an ancient convent stood at it's edge. Moon whitened and ghostly, it's many towers gleam- ed softly through the black shadows of the cypress. Oh, ancient, dismal structure, how many des- pairing hearts have come to your patient portals seeking no more than solace and peace? A girl knelt beside an open windowg her pale cheek pressed to the cold iron bars. iShe was dres- sed as a novitiate of the order. The long months of penance were passed, and resignation marked the gentle beauty of her face. In her passive fingers hung a rosary. Thoughts of the past had stopped the telling of her beads. The lovely, stately sister whom she had loved, and the lover who had held so lightly the passion of her undisciplined heart--that dreadful night when she had seen them together on the bal- cony--had heard their whispered words and seen her betrayal in their embraces. Concealed behind the draperies she had watched him leave, and her quivering rage had been maddened by the smile on her sister's face as she sat on the balcony rail- ing. Would time ever erase from her memory that terrified shriek--the fall? But her sister had not died--God had been kind ---- or unkind. In the darkening silver sky, the stars trembled faintly. Over her pale cheeks the tears globed and fell. Tears that momentarily washed clean her soul, taking with them bitter thoughts and regrets. Soon down among a distant city's poor ---- where poverty brought it's desperate train, she would find her place---sister of mercy. A cloud passed across the moon. The cold wind blew about her. She instinctively drew her cape closer. The beads slipped through her fingers one by one as in the deepening shadows she murmur- ed her prayer. Willise Main Eizjr +-a.. V XJ s EL ESPANTO NTHE TERRORU Fclita sat on the little balcony looking down into the courtyard where the wedding festi- val was at the height of its mad gayety. The fevered rhythm of the guitars gave animation to the twirling feet of the dancing girl in the light of a huge bonfire. A circle of eager, happy faces surrounded her so that no movement would escape their gleaming eyes. Tomorrow was Felita's wedding day. To- morrow she would go to the chapel of the padre's mission, and after a few quiet words she would be Senora Moraga. No longer the gay Felita of San Ramon. y She would leave the sleepy, tranquil beauty of the valley that bore her name. Desert the gardens and orchards of the hacienda of adobe and bright red tiles, so dear to the heart of the color-loving child of Spain. She would pass out of the shadows of devil mountain to the stately House of Moraga where the mad old Senor ruled with heavy hand. ' A silence settled over the group as the haunting strains of NOld Madridu throbeed beneath the fingers of the dancing girl. Her clear, lilting voice sang the love song of a Spanish Knight of Granada. nCome, my love, the Stars are shining--N Time is flying, love is sighing-- Come, for thee a heart is pining-- Here alone I wait for thee--H NFelita,N a soft whisper ended her reverie. WFe1ita, did you hear that song--those words? nCome my love, the stars are shining.H UJuan,N she cried sharply,H go away, my father and Carlos will kill you!

Over the wall a horrible face grinned at him. The face of WEl Diablo.' On the strained ears of the listening group beat the mad-tortured laughter of a soul in hell. A wavering, fading scream and El Diablo had gone! A small piece of greasy paper fluttered to the ground. It bore the feared inscription-- WEl Espiritu de la Montana Ha Habladon The terrible curse of the mountain spirit had fallen! The rest of the night men worked with l feverish haste, trying to construct a fort-' barred gates--set up guns--stationed look-outs-- reinforced walls--endless labor. Felita forced her tired brain to direct them but she gave up and with leaden feet, walk- ed slowly to her balcony. Watching--waiting for death.

Another moment and the sun arose to its full glory, the ravines of the mountain were stained with bloody light. The time had come! With cries of rage the painted horde swarm- ed over the valley. The horrible painted Nspiritu danced before them, arousing their lust for blood. Down, down they swept, through the fields of green grass, through the orchards to the vineyards. There they halted for a moment, impaired by the creeping vines but not for long. With renewed fury they came on. The corral gates crashed and the fences fell. Near- er they came--by leaps and bounds to the doom- ed watchers--I Thus Felita was not permitted to make her choice between a romantic elopement or a common- place, respectable marriage. She was not to be the heroine of another legend to add allure to the mad moments of a fiesta or to stir the sleep- ing thoughts of love in the wistful eyed Spanish maidens or to render more arduous the age old serenades strummed by dashing cavaliers to their lady loves, a tale that would bring memories to the gossiping old Peons that bask in the sun by the stable gates. I Nor was she to rule in the House of Moraga, growing old and corpulent, with grand-children following her footsteps about the garden, or listening wide-eyed as she directed her Indian workmen. For, by noon the haeienda of San Ramon had vanished. In its place was a heap of smouldering ruins. El Diablo had come. And gone!

Prize Poem Willise Main V i-up I xi Q ESSAY Once last summer, at the close of a scorching day, three friends and I saddled horses and set off across the parched valley for the shadowed hills beyond. Before us, the sky was aflame with sunsetgl the atmosphere was moved by a comforting breeze. I sensed a pleasant thrill as our horses pull- ed at their reins and lengthened into a fast run. After standing all day in the shade of the barn patiently switching flies, they were eager for exercise. It seemed as if we were racing to cap- ture some of that golden glory of the sunset be- fore it melted away. - By the time we started up the first incline of the ridge dusk had settled. The last beams of the sun had faded behind the hills, and the few puffs of clouds that hung in the sky were lined with silver. The ascent grew steeper and more difficult as we climbed. The trail twisted and turned among live-oaks, elms, and madrone treesg it struggled through grease-wood and wild blackberry under growths, and stumbled dizzily around rocky ledges. We were forced to keep constantly alert, with eyes to the front to dodge successfully the snarl of overhanging limbs, escape the grasp of clutching vines, and touch of poison oak. Occasionally we halted our horses in an open stretch of trail and surveyed the way over which we had come. The brush-fringed hills on the oppo- site side of the valley had released a huge lop- sided moon that slowly surnounted the heavensg Danville blinked tiny yellow eyes at us, and chains of lights were drawn swiftly along the thread-like highway. The surrounding trees cast grotesque shadows across the grassy the scurry of a woodrat in a clump of dry brush nearby, caused the horses to perk their ears.

San Ramon Valley, lying far below, was measur ed off into light and dark blotches of gray---the orchards, vineyards, tomato patches, and hay fields, e The stiff white steeple of the little Danville church stood out clearly in the moon- light. It silently watched with pastoral dignity, the every movement of the town. Low hills rolled back from the valley and bowed before Mt. Diablo. We continued along the edge of the ridge for some timeg then we dipped into a small sheltered hollow which the moon failed to light. There we had to depend chiefly upon the sureness of our ' horses, for the trail was rough and not clearly distinguishable. Emerging, the trail led giddilv across a narrow strip of ground that dropped abruptly away about a hundred feet on one side, and sloped sharply on the others. At last we came to a flat open spot from which we could survey the land to the north. Far in the distance could be seen the watery straits which separate Martinez and Bcniciag beyond, the indistinct outline of Mt. St. Helena. A million tiny lights betrayed the where abouts of Martinez, Bay Point and Concord, while a group of silver, squatty tanks indicated the position of Avon.

Behind the town is a forest. In this sylvan retreat, the silence is almost awe inspiring. It is so intense, that a single bird note or the rustle of some other denizen of the wood, rings out sharply. Even the gurgle of the brook is muffled. The leaf mold is thick and moist under foot, and here end there are carpets of blue for- get-me-nots and maiden hair. Spider webs cling to the berry bushes, and the sun, penetrating the thick over head foilage, transforms them into little, silvery rainbows. Up on the Hmeseu are the homes of the summer residents.

As I recall little metal worker's man who made me was e dear old soul, as yellow and withered as the last leaf, and he talked to me and fondlcd me as he fashioned me out of brass. - It seems to me that this was about the year seven- teen hundred and fifty seven. When I was complete, I was sent and put on a little table out in front shop and offered for sale. For many days I re- but one mained unsold because of my great price, day a rich prince who was passing by saw me and ordered me to be purchased. I was smothered in crisp paper, flcckcd with gold, the color of cherry blossoms. The kind of paper Ah Ling saved to wrap his most cherished pieces of workmanship. I was taken to the prince's palace, a few miles outside the walls of the city and immedi- ately put into use. The buds of the poppy, great green globes through which pooped the golden petals, were placed in me and a great fire lighted beneath mc. When the buds had become like powder they were taken from me, and I suppose they were smoked. I think that the prince had his own field of poppies, although I'm not sure. Life went on in this manner for I don't know how many years without being disturbed to any great extent. Presently, though, many coolies began to move along the road. Day after day they passed and each day the stream of surging human- 57 ity grew larger. As they passed they yelled un- intelligible words and shook their fists at the palace in which the prince lived. After this had gone on for a few days the people of the house began to get nervous. One day we moved back into the city, and as we went I heard some of the servants say that if there was going to be a revolution they would be safer in the city. In the city there was even greater turmoil than on the highroads. As we passed through the market square I heard the clamor of an angry mob. When we reached our city home, all was quiet and still. But as I was being put away I was con- scious of a muffled roar coming from the the direction of the market place. As I lay on my shelf the roar grew louder and louder until it seemed as if it was right in front of the house. At that moment the door of the closet was flung open and I was taken out by a servant. He ran with me to the head of the stair case but there he stopped. In the lower hall a wild mob was milling about uncertainly. Then one of the men below spied the servant, who carried me. I saw the glint of steel and a knife whistled. through the air. It struck my servant squarely in the chest and he staggered and fell. I dropped from his arms and rolled down the stairway toward that wild and hunger crazed mob. As I reached the bottom, the gaunt, yellow arm of a woman shot out and snatched me up. The woman pressed me closely to her and forged her way through the crowd. When we reached the street she hastened by narrow alleys to a little hovel of mats near the walls of the city., Inside the hut were a man and his father, an old withered frame of bones and yellow skin, barely covered by his rags. There was a great number of children playing about and I afterwards learned that they all belonged to this family. The squalid conditions in this hut were appalling. The woman hid me under a pile of mats and there I stayed for several days. One day troops came marching down the street and the people who lived in the hut fled.

On the long journey across the ocean I was used to boil soup in, and the whole family dipped in their tin cups and drank. When we reached our por t I was taken up to a shop where a kindly old man, much like Ah Ling, bought me. He placed me on an old satin skirt which had graced an Empress and I was allowed to gaze out the window. The traffic! Never in all my long life had ' I seen such traffic.

And a fine old place it is, but when Leonard Eddy came into the Sycamore Valley in 1850 there were only deer, and elk, and grizzlies, and the white sycamores there. He had come to California, a forty-niner, but farming was more attractive and proved to be more profitable than mining. Planning to return to Illinois to be married, he sold a part of his place in '55 to Phillip Men- denhall, the original patriarch of all true Cali- fornians, for he was the first American to be mar- ried in California, Mendenhall,built a house ve- ry much like the Eddy home, partly of Georgia pine which he had brought around the Horn. You can measure the age of this house by the height of the ceilings, The same low ones may be seen in eastern houses built before revolutionary times. Perhaps it was the New England style of the house that attracted Mr. Wood for he was of a promin- ent revolutionary family of Concord, Massachus- setts. His great-great-grandfather, Colonel Bar- rett was in command of the minute-men on April 19, 1775. The Mendenhalls had planted a grove of locust trees and Mr. Wood was among the first men who brought the Eucalyptus to California. Miss Charlotte Wood says she remembers the little flat of a hundred blue gums that her father brought to plant on their place. But here I am trying to tell you about the Woods. Miss Wood can do that much better than I, and too, she can show you a collection of relics that are sure to interest you. T W FOOTBALT--'52 ' A peppy gang of football players rallied around Coach Brown for the l952 season. Suits were given out on Monday, Sept. l2, and the squad settled down to learn the fundamentals of Football. After two weeks of practice the squad traveled to Hayward to play the first game of the season. After a hard game they returned home with a score of Hayward 7--Danville 0. But defeat meant nothing this early in the season, and the team was in high spirits ever the next game with Pleasanton which was played on the home field October 7. The team proved themselves by winning 7 to O. On Saturday, October l5, the team traveled to Gonzales where ther played a good game consider- ing the circumstances. Their team averaged much heavier than ours and they looked twice our size when they came on the field. The team couldn't get settled down to real play until late in the game. The final score was Gonzales 45--Danville 6. On October 2l, the team traveled to Half Moon Bay where they played a good game with the Half Moon Bay first team. Danville lost by a 7 to O score. The game was played in the fog, which is a good an excuse as any. October 26, Pittsburg played Danville at Danville, a large crowd witnessed a very good game in which Coach Brown's boys made good with a final score of Danville 19--Pittsburg O. On November 5, Pittsburg repaid Danville for the October 26 victory. A good game was played, but not a game that was particularly good for Danville, for Pittsburg accumulated l4 to Danville's O. On November lO, Danville played its last and most successful game, even though the scores weren't very large. Danville's team was in fine shape and out-played the-Half Moon Bay team in a very spectacular game. The final score was Dan- ville 6--Half Moon Bay O. 1-fl v,.il- , ,,,,,,-M e .

Thirty-eight fellows, full of pep and determined to break every record in sight, reported to Coach Brown at the beginning of the season. Danville set her pace ay defeating Antioch, Livermore, and John Swett High School, consecutive ly, and climaxed these victories by winning a five-way meet held at Martinez and participated in by: Antioch, Alhambra, Brentwood, Concord, and John Swett High Schools. On April 22 a team of picked boys went up to Davis to compete in the California Aggic's in- vitational Track and Field Meet. In 1952 the boys had won the meet, much to their surprise, and they were determined to repeat the victory, if it was humanly possible. When the dust had settled on the track that afternoon, Danville had accum- ulated 42 points, her nearest competitors were Riverdale and Alhambra tied at a 20 point score. We carried home two silver loving cups as a re- sult of the day's victory, one for the Relay, won by Dondero, Frick and Arven and Arlen Scott, and one for the meet. Besides these cups the boys came home with fourteen medals for placing in the various events. One of the most interesting feats of the A day was Eldred Ramos' jump of 12 feet for a new record in the pole vault, Danville new holds six records for the Davis meet. Mr. Frick, father of Bch and Walter, very kindly let our principal, Mr. Bisig, use his movie camera to take pictures of the meet, and the results were very interesting. Mr. Bisig caught practically all the interesting finishess of the day, including an aeroplane view of the sky and ground. lt seems the camera started to run suddenly, and he couldn't seem to find the button to turn it off. We leave these pictures to the school for future classes to sec, hoping that they will be spurred on by them. , 4 1, ,gr FOOTBALL SQUAD A TRACK SQUAD 'lc' TRACK SQUAD F Y lAf?EE5TxTENNIS TOURNAMENTS !9g?EZi?w ,riff ,A . , an . ix lf 1 H:--'Q N 'f 55 . .,'1,f?'5w:'sg 1-xt, 75' f ,I VIVIAN KRAFT if ,255 ..ffanayeas ',s lie' 3, 9 wiggggfufg L 'f! ,ykglglf Q A great deal of interest is being shown in tennis this year, much more than in previous years. A class of beginning tennis was started as a reg- ular part of Girls' Physical Education, and many girls who had never had a racquet in their hands surprised themselves after a few lessonsq As a result of this enthusiasm many more girls have turned out for the Tennis Tournament than in prev- ious years. An equal amount of interest has been shown among the boys for this sport, and about nine fel- lows are competing in the Boys' Tournament. The court is busy all day long, and an interested crowd is always on hand at noon to cheer l?J some poor player on. The winner of each tournament has his name engraved on the Trophy Cup as a reward. In ad- dition to this honor, the girls this year have decided to award tennis emblems ----- a small one to the runner up, and a larger one to the winner of the tournament. This emblem is composed of two racquets crossed behind a shield on which are the school letters HSRW. The whole emblem is in the school colors--green and gold. Among the girls who are participating in the Girls? Tournament are: Barbara Nourse, Dorothy Sandkuhle, Willise Main, Byrle Caldwell, Josephine Lion, Helen Rutherford, Florence Goularte, Clara Lawrence, Vivian Kraft and Phyllis Spence. The boys competing are: Wilson Close, Herman Sandkuhle, Lawson Butler, Frank Bunker, Raymond Sandkuhle, Norman Harper, Arvcn Scott, Walter Frick and June Ajari.

It became necessary to build this new room because some of the boys were getting to be such monsters that there wasn't room enough for all of them in the old building. Of course the new crop of Freshmen, a group of giants ------ including Grant Osborn, Warren Anderson, Ted Main and Wendell Axtell--found the old structure much too crowded for their huge frames.

I , mm Gb mmm Q ll UXXXOD Joshua Bollinger was an odd genius. There's an old story about that house he built. When he put his chimney on the side facing the road, which just wasn't done in those days, the neighbors all com- plained to him that it didn't look well at all. He replied ririly, characteristically, This here chimney is for Josh to look at. There are other parts of the place that are mighty peculiar too, like that blank north wall. They say the floor plan's unusual, but I was in the place but once and that to Mrs. Bollinger's funeral. But Jo- shua was from Missouri, Bollinger County too, so you see his people were the pioneers in the more eastern-west. I guess that's Missouri we see in his house. As to style, it's something like a cross between New England and California. The little dormer-windows, the high-peaked roof and grooved siding are eastern, but the low rambling wings and verandah are like the adobes of the Mexicans. Many people have since owned Joshua's house, and many years have passed too, but the tired old house is still I think, the most in- teresting place in the valley, though there may be some who will Missouri-like say You gotta shew me.U Yes, Joshua was the original ollinger to settle in Bollinger Canyon, but soon there were lots of Bollingers and pioneers have to have elbow room. Then too, Joshua was too queer to get along with people. His wife, Catherine Luney, was just as strange, they say her sister was in- sane, so you see why in '66, they came down here near Alamo and built their place. Joshua didn't have any land troubles, and he was absolutely sure of his two hundred and eighty-three acres, for he was a good business man, but he could not read, and therefore, eating out was a problem for he could only tell the waiter, while pointing to the menu, Gimme from ther to ther.
