The Senior program, given October 24, consisted of an educative and interesting speech by Mr. Michealson on his European tour, made in the summer and fall of 1930. For their dance, held in December, the Seniors converted the gymnasium into a beautiful tropical bower. The dance, while it broke an old custom by not serving punch, was quite a success. Dr. Thomas Bailey, of the History Department of Stanford University, gave a very interesting speech on George Washington, for the Spring program, the substance of which was probably very destructive to many of the ideas hitherto held by the Fresh' men in regard to Mr. Washington. The SeniorfFaculty game witnessed the proud faculty in an inglorious defeat, much to their chagrin. The Seniors were much elated over this victory, for it is the first for the Seniors in several years. The Family Upstairs, the class play was successfully produced April 24. The prof ceeds, which with those received from selling candy, amounted to one hundred and forty two dollars, were given to the alumni Scholarship fund. Senior Sneak day at Santa Cruz was accompanied with the usual hilarity and sun' burn which come from the influence of a May day. The longfawaited graduation ceremony climaxed the high school career of the class of 1931. The speaker of the evening was james C. DeVoss, professor of Psychology at San Jose State Teachers College. He gave a very interesting and amusing talk. Musical selections by' the orchestra and vocal selections by the glee clubs, both under the direction of Mr. Harmon, were enjoyed. The Seniors then received their diplomas, and the ceremony was over. The Seniors wish to express their appreciati 1 of the kindly advice and good-will of their advisors, Miss Coeke, and Mr. Knaus, and of the everfpresent cooperation of Mr. Townsend and the faculty.

I I FLORENE BROOKS LLOYD RAY - Y t SENIOR PROPHECY What to do? What to do? moaned Senator Ferris Dangberg as he impatiently paced the sidewalk. Wife out with the hydroplane-and I have to be in Washington D. C. in precisely one hour at the Vice-President's dinner party, and no way to cover the two hundred miles between here and there. If I only- Hey, Berries, called an interrupting voice from a parked plane sedan, Coming to D. C. with me in my new 'Wasp'? What a break for me, muttered the stately senator as he climbed in beside Dr. Stanley Ralph Ph. D., Sc. D. Glad you came along. By jove, it's great of VicefPresident Sides to invite all the old gang to dinner. Are all the old high school kids going to be there? ejaculated the senator, dropping his Congressional mannerisms. Yeh, guess so. What's Congress up to these days? Same as ever. What are you doing now? Who me? I've just put my little Wasp plane on the market. This is the first one out. While this is going on the little 'Wasp' is speedily carrying them to Washington. Well, here we are, announced Stanley Ralph a little while later as the little plane settled on the sidewalk. L'Let's go in. They'll be arriving pretty soon. Here's Silent Cal to meet us now. Hello, boys! How's business? Here, let me have your hats. You boys start here, you know the regular routine. just look around and see whom you know. GOodfbye! Short and snappy. The old boy uses fewer words every time I see him. Not as he used to be. Well, Berries, here's our first. Dr. Fredrick Toth, M. D., in person.-Right this way, Dr. Toth. Good evening, boys, said Dr. Toth and passed on. Say, is that Fritz? You'd never guess it with that mustache and all. Yeh, and this is Bernice Dreyer, the famous aviatrix, from California. Good even- ing, Miss Dreyer-To the right. Who's this approaching? queried the ignorant Dangberg. Oh, that's the Parisian style expert, you know her-Mary Giles. Bon soit, Monsieurs, and with an airy wave of her hand, Mademoiselle Giles floated by. Page Twentyffwo 1rfgD- Prepare yourself, Senator, here come some reminders of the good old days. That tall one's Paul Rea. I hear he's been to Europe showing those foreigners how to play tennis. The man beside him is Leslie Cordon, the artist who recently painted the picture of the Prince of Wales and his wife. Say, Stan, I know that girl. Isn't that Margaret Dunipace there? 'LYehAand that old maid stuff of hers fell through. She's married. That must be Henry Nissen. He seems to be quite an influencial lobbyist at the Capitol. Nearly got kicked out last Monday but they couldn't do it4He was too big. Ha,,' and the Senator recognizes two more. Those must be Eveylne Compton and Ag' nes Walden. What are they doing now? Ch nothing much-they just married a couple of millionaires. Not bad, eh? Oh, I know this fellow-isn't he Dawson Pomeroy who threw down farming for Hollywood? He felt the world appreciate his face more than his prunes. I hear he's a second Lon Chaney, ejaculated the Senator. Howdy, boys! they all cried in unison, and sailed past. Well, I'l1 be-Here comes Beverly Sinnot, the great detective. You know he finally rounded up Al Capone and convicted him. Linn Norton's with him. Linn's been in Alaska trapping, hasn't he? Well, if it isn't Eveylne Wilcox. She's my main opponent in Congress. That woman sure has an orator's tongue. Is that Alice Mendez with her? Yeh-she's another one with a tongue. She's the best lawyer around here. Who's this? L'Marion Bracher, Governor of California.-How do you do Miss Bracher? Ah! The warden of Sing Sing approaches. Francis Cesena himself. How's tricks, Francis? Fine, thanks, boys. Hey Stan,-is that the former Roberta Evans? The newspapers say she just com' pleted a book on kindness to editors. Who are these coming?', How do I know? Ask them. Ah-How do you do? Ah-Who are you may I ask? 'We are the Craigs-cofpartners in the search for the missing link. Oh,-glad to see you again. This way ladies. Say, who are these that blind me so? A Idiot! They are Beatrice Kelley and Dorothy Vierra. They've taken Broadway by storm. Say, I know that man, he's Jack Craver who has just unravelled Einsteirfs theory of relativity so that the rest of us poor heathens can at least understand the fourth and hfth dimensions. I'll have to have a talk with him. Oh, yeh he's a great guy, but Henry Perry is just as great. He's the football coach at Yale. Safafy, there's Ralph Berry and Ted Keech. Did you hear that Ralph is Principal of Santa Clara High School now, and Ted's Chief of Police at San Francisco? Page 'l'wentyfThrec CCffL 2- L L 1 Heres the famous quartet: Gladys Nicholson, Bernice Santos, Reva Nipper and Florene Brooks. I think they're to sing for us tonight. I see Mary Bermudes, U. S. consul to South America, and Elizabeth Dodd, head of the English Department at the University of California, are here. uWalter Knoth inherited the Barnes Circus-isn't that a scream? And Eloise Ellis, of all people, is the coming chemist of the nation. Yes, and Myron Farwell and Lloyd Ray just returned from Africa where they have been hunting 'Sidehill Fimphsf I see they're all here. A It's good, all right, to see the old bunch. Lydia Nevis and Sylvia Kerkering are present. I think they are Hollywood producers, aren't they? I think so. Here comes Ray Quetano. He does the midget strong man act on the stage. Albert Ereitas, there, is the pitcher on the All American. Mfmfm, is this the former Ina Townsend coming. She's the meek quiet wife of the president of the Stand' ard Oil Co. Ha, Ha! That girl with her is Audrey Waddington, manager of the big textile plant. William Stevens has made a name for himself as a literary critic. By the way did you know that Viola Norris and Gyneth McLean are dieticians? -and look-lo and behold-Robert Liston, Esq. He's in the Mounted Police. Let's hope Canada appreciates him. L'Right behind him are some more so called Wandering Jews. Neva Bent and Dorothy Grubb, they've been in China teaching the Chinese darlings the three R's. Ambitious, eh? Look at Johnnie Gornez's Van Dyke beard. He must have acquired that in Spain after he married that Spanish lady. L'Here comes Gladys Lawry. She cuts loose some cutting sarcasm on prohibition,- and how that girl influences New York's governor. She practically runs the state. How about the famous Amos and Andy survivors, john Prizmich and Ferdinand Palla. MfmfmvCast your eye on Mary Nascimento and Edith Quieto, approaching, Stanford and California have found it profitable to merge and they are the capable Deans of Women. Aha, Eddie George himself approaches as the world renowned jewlerf' L'Look, Anita Madrigali! She's heading the committee for bigger and better ex' termination of excess education. Hurrah for her! Isn't that Willis Laine behind her? You know Willis, the big speedfboat manu- facturerf' Did you know that Helen Kohner is running for Justice of Peace in Santa Clara? Now-there she is.' Here comes Ted joseph, l've been told that he's a regular walking encyclopedia. He even reads his novels with a dictionary by his side. Well, Ted, you are the last of us to arrive but you are by no means the least. Is that all of them? Yeh-Gefefe, it's been a long time since we were kids, hasn't it? Sure has, the Senator as they turned to enter the banquet hall.

A number of the students were awakened from their quiet rest long enough each meeting to take part in the discussions. An amendment on the school dances and two concerning the athletical blocks were passed during the year. No guests was the main issue of the first addition to the constif tution. The difficulties that arose at one of the dances necessitated such an action. As usual the constitution was revised and it is hoped that this one may be retained for a short time at least. The following are the officers that served the associated students during the last two semesters. It is felt that their services have been indispensible to the student body.

The girls have continued to elevate the aim of the leagueg namely, to raise in every possible way the standards of the school. At Christmas time, as well as at Thanksgiving, many families were made merry by the food boxes and clothes given them by the girls. A onefact farce entitled HA Nephew in the House was produced on January 30. Eveylne Wilcox directed this lovely comedy and the results were excellent. Then in crder to fill up the treasury once more, on April 20, a skating party was given. Every' body who went had a wonderful time. The annual Mother's Tea was held on May 6. The gymnasium was very prettily decorated with various colored butterflies. The Mothers enjoyed themselves immensely. Miss Leviston and the council are busy with plans for the new year.

An intelligent council, exceptionally able officers, and a cooperative membership, work' ed together to recover much of our lost school spirit. The annual football rally dance was unusually successful, the dance being held exclusively for our opponents, Mountain View, and ourselves. The Combined Jinx, the management of which was shared with the Girls' League, was the biggest event of the year, and the revival of the Boys' Jinx met with approval, and this feature will now probably be continued in years to come.

Class and literary editions, the boys' edition, and the girls' edition, and other special feature editions were put out in excellent form by this enthusiastic group. During April 9, 10 and 11, several of the members of the staff, accompanied by Miss McLeish, attended a journalistic convention at the University of California, Berkeley. The staff worked diligently throughout the year and, put their utmost effort behind the paper in order to turn out a bigger and better journal. Several new features were added to the paper this year, and other improvements were installed so as to create more of an interest on the part of the subscribers. Editor in Chief ......... .......

HIGH TIMES STAFF Page Forty-One if 3 STUDENT LIBRARIANS Q10 Under the able guidance of Miss Winchell, a new staff of librarians was installed this year. They have proved their worth as librarians by the excellent work which they have accomplished. The whole library was checked over and all lost books were traced as far as possible. A new index of all books in the library was made, and, as a result, books are found more easily. Several new books were added to the collection this year, the World Book was the most important addition. This is an especially fine addition and one which helps all students. The girls have done excellent work and we wish to compliment them on their dilif gence in working so hard to better our library. Evelyn de Bar .....

They have done many interesting things to make it a success. They have social activities, lectures, and have helped several needy families in Santa Clara at Christmas time. In the summer there are two camps. The one in Asilimar lasts ten days, this camp is for all girls in the state of California. The other one is situated on the Big Basin, this camp is only for the high school girls of San Jose, Los Gatos, and Santa Clara High Schools.

The aims and ideals of the club were very well carried out, and are set down, with the qualifications of membership for the benefit of those who intend to become members in the future. The chief aim of the Commercial Club is to promote student interest in the business world, for it is there they will earn their living. The discussion of problems and condif tions which the students will meet especially during their first office position, is en' couraged, and experienced men and women speakers were obtained to address the club on various vital subjects, care being taken to include as great a scope of the business world as possible during the year. Membership is open to anyone of Sophomore, junior, or Senior standing, who has taken at least one commercial subject. The outside business people who addressed the club this year were: Mr. Pople, of Heald's Business College of San joseg Mr. Kelley, Dean of School of Business of S. C. University, Mr. Dykes, Coach and Instructor of Commercial Law of S. C. Universityg Mr. Van Haitsma of the Boeing School of Aeronauticsg Miss Carolyn Berry of the Commercial Art Department of San jose State College, and Mr. Armstrong of the Armstrong College of Business Administration.

During the past year Dawson Pomeroy has been president, and Dorothy Vierra, secretary of the club. Meetings are held twice a month, one meeting in the afternoon for business discussion, and one in the evening for a social gathering. During the first part of the year, the members devoted part of their time to making masks, which were put on display. Several parties were held by the club. On May 2 the group went to Santa Cruz for the day on a picnic. The Club presented a play The Ghost Story at the Freshman Reception on Cctof ber 2. Miss Hartsook, a cadet teacher, directed the play. On December 12, A Fool of a Man, was presented by several of the Thalians, for the Play Production Class at State Teachers College. Another play, The First Dress Suit under the direction of Miss Ridley, was pref sented to the student body. A nominal fee was charged, as this play was given for the purpose of raising money to add to the club treasury. The Man in the Bowler Hat, was given by this group on May 12, at the State Teachers College and on May 22, for the public, at the High School auditorium in conjunction with the exhibit. Mr. Tormey supervised this performance. Miss McLeish is one of the faculty advisors of the club and during the term each of the Speech Arts cadets was the other advisor. They were Miss Hartsook, Miss Ridley, and Mr. Tormey. Nearly every member of the club was given a chance to take part in one of the four plays produced. THALIAN CLUB Page FovtyfFiue ft,- SCHOOL ORCHESTRA ORCHESTRA AND BAND QYO The orchestra and band, directed by Mr. Harmon, have played an important part in the school activities of the year. The band, with its peppy music, added greatly to the numerous school games, at which it offered its services, The orchestra devoted much of its time and ability to the operetta. It also featured in other programs such as the Freshman Reception, and special assemblies. The orchesf tra and band create a lively interest in school affairs and help to develop musical talent. SCHOOL BAND Page FortyfSix GIRLS' GLEE CLUB GLEE CLUBS RIB The Glee Clubs, under the direction of Mr. Harmon, have added greatly to the social status of the school. A uniform, consisting of a white sweater and a white skirt, was in- stalled by the Girls' Glee Club this year. Previous to this time no specific uniform had been used. The two Glee Clubs entertained at several different functions during the year, par' taking in many curriculum affairs. They also donated some of their splendid singing to affairs outside of the school, and were proved to be quite an honor to the school. Their most important work was done during the operetta when the entire Glee Clubs were in the cast of this large event. The Glee Clubs are a regular class of the school program, and this type of a class is a fine representation of school interests. 5 1 BOYS' GLEE CLUB Page Fo1'tyfSeven 6751-3- THE BELLE OF BAGDAD On March 3, a delightful operetta The Belle of Bagdadn was greeted by a large expectant audience. The cast ably directed by Mr. Harmon was well selected and por' trayed their parts excellently. Mrs. McCann, the new American counsul, and her two daughters arrive in Bagdad. Lord Archie, an old friend, is also present and a little later comes Henrietta Whip' stitch to whom Lord Archie had proposed in Paris.

OPE A Page Forty'Eight -ff .LX SENIOR PLAY LID The Family Upstairs, the Senior Play of the Class of 1931 was successfully pref sented on April 24, 1931, under the expert supervision of Miss Coeke. The funds ob' tained from the presentation were given to the Alumni Scholarship Fund. The scene of the play is in the living room of an average American home. The play opens with Annabelle practicing on the tin-panny piano, Willie making a telephone date with a girl friend, father coming home from work in his street car inspector's uni' form, tired out, Mother bossing Annabelle's playing, everyone wanting dinner and so forth. Louise soon announces, to the surprise of her family, that she is expecting a young gentleman caller, and would like to have the parlor for herself. They are in love with each other, and before the evening is over they are engaged. There is an unhappy half hour when the engagement seems to be off, but everything ends happily.

Honor Bright is selling reference hooks to help pay her way through college. Cn her first day out she strays into the home of the Barringtons. The only son of the household, Dick, has become engaged to a chorus girl, and at his importunity his mother has arf ranged for the girl to visit them. When she fails to appear her delay causes great anxiety. In his desperation Dick hits upon the plan of palming off the girl book agent as his fiancee. This leads to complications which are enhanced by the unexpected arrival of the real fiancee. As Dick is unequal to the delicate task of presenting two fiancees it is necessary for Honor Bright to remain until matters are cleared up. This play was cleverly directed by Miss Winchell, junior advisor. CAST Mrs. Barrington ....,. Richard Barrington The Bishop ............ Peggy Carton .......... Honor Bright ........., Rev.

H. Santos, Treasurerg Mrs. Lundin, Mrs. Blondin, Miss Catherine Yoger, Mrs. K. E. Bracher, and Mrs. Snyder who are responsible for all Girl Scouting in Santa Clara. Through this Committee many good times in connection with Girl Scout activities have been possible. Troop Campanilla chose a skating party and a one-act play as the means of filling the troop treasury for the National Quota, troop equipment, and summer camp attendance. Among other troop activities for the year were cooperation with student body officers in ticket sales at the football games and with the school program committees for enter' tainments. Activities which were reserved to Girl Scouts alone were supper meetings, picnics, hikes, outfoffdoor meets, a house party, and swimming parties-all of which were great fun and also led to advancement of Girl Scouting. The registered active Girl Scouts for the year are as follows: Wilda Merritt, Jeanette Snyder, Mary Nasciemento, Elizabeth Van Valer, Mary Trigueiro, Mary Bermudes, Margaret Jones, and Jane Gerhart of Rigmarole Patrol, Roberta Culbertson, Beth Dodd, Josephine Bridgham, Martha Sylvester, Eleanor Davis, Geraldine Couch, and Francis McAlear of the Oriole Patrol.

His soft footsteps fell soundlessly on Mrs. Bradley's inchfdeep velvety rug. But still, Tom must be careful! If Mrs. Bradley awoke and saw him sneaking up the stairs at this hour of the night, she would be quite angry. For it was very Close to 3 A. M. and Tom had been out all night. Of course, Tom went out every night anyway, but 3 A. M. was no time for him to be coming home. And if Mrs. Bradley caught him it would be just too bad, for she had quite a temper. Ch, yes, indeed, everything Tom did displeased her. She was quite an old crab. Why just the other day, she had, in a fit of anger, slapped her little nephew, Eddie Barnes as hard as she could, just because he had acci- dentally spilled his milk on the new tablecloth. Tom, never in his life, had spilled any milk on the table. Never, Tom reached the top of the stairs with a feeling of relief. Hurrah! The door to jack Bradley's room was wide open, welcoming the wanderer home. Tom shared Jack Bradley's room. He and jack were great friends, even though Tom and Jack's mother did not always agree. He was on the point of entering the room when he remembered suddenly that he was very hungry. Hungry! Yes, indeed! He had not had a bite to eat since dinner. Poor Tom. He liked to eat, as most boys do. Who doesn't like to raid the pantry after mid' night? Why' just the idea of sneaking down the stairs at such an hour, was a novelty in itself. So, back down the stairs went Tom. He steathily made his way into the kitchen. But even when he got there he didn't stop. My! Tom must be walking in his sleep or something! He went down into the basement. I have it! He is going to look for some wine, but I doubt if he will ind it. But, surely now we will find out what he is after. Maybe it's oranges or apples that he wants-fbut they are upstairs I am sure. But! Tommy peered intently into the darkness, and then with one pounce, he caught it. It was a mouse! You see, Tom was only Jack Bradley's cat, which explains his queer night escapade. -Ruby Erickson , Page Fiftyf'Three gnfyg FOOTBALL 1930 lla The 1930 football team played a successful season under Coach Elmer Johnson, with a record of three wins and three losses. Our team was as good as any in the Valley League, and Mt. View and Gilroy beat us on the breaks. We lost none of the games by very many points and scored easily in those we won. The team at the kickfoif generally consisted of James Chaney, center, Donald Wad' dington, George Leighton, or Ernest Guard, guards, Daws omgiicy and Everett Grant, tackles, Robert Gonzales and Robert McGuire, ends, ose AIRS, quarter, Anthony Bongiovanni and August Techira, halfsg and James erkins, fullback and honorary captain. james Chaney and James Perkins were on the Santa Clara Valley League team which was picked by the coaches in the conference. In the first game of the season, a practice game with Centerville High, the players failed to hit their stride and were nosed out by a 7 to 6 score. In the iirst league game of the season, with Los Gatos, the players, determined to avenge their defeat, ran through Los Gatos like water through a sieve, making the final score 27fO. Gilroy got a break in the last quarter and nosed us out 7 -O. In the game with Mt. View, a lastfhalf comeback intersperced with all the breaks gave Mt. View the game. The last game, with Fremont, was won 12f0. The score would have been much larger but Coach John' son wanted to give as many blocks as he could so he put in the second string. Henry Acquistapace, john DiBari, Van Hoppe, Manuel Nascimento, Edmund Silva, Jerome Furtado, backs, and Laurence Abreo, Richard Abreo, jack Bowers, Leon Green, Vincent Holthouse, Kenneth Hogue, William Knease, Morrison Smith, George Spring' stead, Anthony Turturici, Walter Knoth and John Gomez, linesmen, made up the backbone of the team. Since a football team is no better than its substitutes, much credit must be given them for such a successful season. This was Coach johnson's first season here, and although he had good material, a lot of credit must be given him for so successfully instilling his system into the football players in such a short time. . FOOTBALL TEAM Page FiftyfSeven 0622- UNLIMITED BASKETBALL QZD The unlimiteds were another of our almost teams when they almost won the cham- pionship. In the championship game with Los Gatos we had an off night and Los Gatos had their eye and so another championship flitted away. Santa Clara started the season by losing a hard fought game, in the last quarter, to San Jose. In the game with the National Guards we began to click and defeated them 16 to 8. Against a very strong St. Joseph team our unlimiteds showed the best basketball of the season and won 26 to 13. Our first league game with Gilroy proved a success, mainly due to Techira's fine playing. Santa Cruz tasted defeat by a 41 to 30 score. Against Palo Alto we lost 25 to 9. Mountain View scored an upset, by sinking them at all angles, and by indifferent playing on our part, we lost 55 to 21. Against two of the strongest teams in the league our team functioned and we defeated Live Oak 25' to 14 and Campbell 23 to 8. At Santa Cruz we lost 24 to 16. At Bellarmine we barely nosed them out in the last quarter 28 to 26 although the first string ran up a 15 point lead in the first half. In the championship game with Los Gatos the Los Gatos team had their 'Leye and won 32 to 20. In the final game of the season we beat Fremont 23 to 17. Ambrose Alves, popularly known as L'Momie, starred on the floor making 114 points during the season for high point honors. He scored an average of over 8 points per game. Anthony Bongiavanni, our other star forward scored 46 for an average of 3.2 points per game. Paul Rea, center, scored 89 points for second place and a game average of 6.4 points. The guard positions, filled by Dawson Pomeroy and August Techira, left most of the shooting to the forwards, but in the pinches, when points were needed, they came through with winning baskets. Dryer, Gonzales, Silva and Montella, forwards, Holthouse and Griffin, centers, and Guard, Berry, Farwell, guards, all showed remarkable ability and will shine in seasons to come as three veterans leave. Without these substitutes a successful team would have been impossible for their support and ability kept the team on its toes to keep ahead of them. UNLIMITED BASKETBALL Page FifryfEight E. .fi . :lj BASKETBALL 130 s LID This year's thirties made a good record, winning twofthirds of their league games. They could have won a championship if it had not been for a midseason slump against Campbell and Los Gatos. Both of these teams could have, and should have, been beaten, but for some unaccountable reason the thirties failed to click against these two teams. The team made a good showing against San Jose, for the first game of the season, but lost 17 to 25 . The thirties managed to scrape over the town team 11 to 10 and then trounced St Joseph 23 to 8. In the first league game against Gilroy the score at the final gun was 34 to 24, putting us on the high road to a championship. The thirties lost the next two games, losing to the Y. M. C. A. 27 to 22 and to Palo Alto 12 to 25. In the league game with Mt. View our thirties won, in two extra periods 24f21, and thereby took the league lead. They had an easy time against Santa Cruz defeating them 22 Lo 15 with everybody getting in the game. Santa Clara swamped Live Oak 28 to 5 in the next league game. The next two games proved disastrous and we lost to Campbell 13 to 20 and then to Los Gatos, in an extra period game, 23 to 24. These two defeats brought the team to life and they soundly trounced Bellarmine 14 to 8 and Fremont 29 to 4, their next two opponents and so wound up a successful season. The team at the starting tossfup was composed of Robert McGuire, center, Lawrence Quetano and Joe Condensa, forwards, and either Eugene Chadwell or Morris Quetano or Donald Waddington, at the two guard positions. Eugene Elam, Edwin Becker, Leon Green, Julio Condensa, Albert Souza, and Manuel Piava made up a team that was practically as good as the first string and they were always ready to bolster the first if anyone weakened. Credit goes to Coach Elmer Johnson for turning out such a good team, and because he expects practically all his veterans to return we should have a championship team next year. 130 TEAM Page FiftyfNinc BASKETBALL 120 s LIB This years twenties had a successful season, but had all the breaks against them. They would have at least tied the championship if Fremont had not upset them in an extra period game 12 to 10. The twenties fiinished up second in the league, right behind Campbell, with three wins and two losses. The team had but two practice games, both out of their class, but they acquitted themf selves nobly and kept their opponents fighting till the final gun. They started the league with a bang beating Gilroy 16 to 11. Against Mt. View they had a tough break and lost a hard fought game 20 to 21. Against Live Oak the team again clicked and Live Oak took the short end of a 15 to 10 score. Against Fremont Lady Luck turned her back on us and Fremont managed to squeeze out a 12 to 10 victory. In the final game of the season against the league leading Campbell twenties, our team came into its own and took Campbell into camp with an 18 to 10 score. The team was led by Captain Joe Condensa who has shot his last basket for the school, and who so ably held down one of the forward positions. In the other forward position we find Manuel Paiva who shone at defense and at sinking the casaba. The center post was ably filled by Eugene Elam who outfjumped all of the opposing centers. Anthony Farias, guard, shone on the defense and in direct' ing the offense, while Albert Castro capably filled the position of the other guard. Richard Castro, Gerald Murphy, Paul Swabe, and Takeo Mitsumago made up the bale ance of the squad and much credit is due them for so ably supporting the first five. All in all it was the most successful year they have had in the last two or three years, and much of the credit for this must go to Coach Broadbent who gets the boys up on their toes and keeps them there. 120 TEAM Page Sixty .ff fig BASKETBALL 1 10's KID To the tens, led by our doughty little warrior, Coach Broadbent, who had his hands full controlling the team, goes the credit of winning our only basketball championship this year. They repeated last year's performance of winning all their games and, incif dentally, played a major part in defeating the league leading Campbell's 12O's. This gives us two wins on the plaque, and if Coach Broadbent can produce a winning team next year the plaque will be a permanent possession of the school. The starting team was composed of Lawrence Quetano, center, Raymond Quetano, forward, julio Condensa, forward, Captain Morris Quetano, guardg and Kozuto Nose, guard. Windsor Geary, Henry Perry, George Nakano, Tony Gorney, Peter Ramsden, and Norman Tolasano formed the reserve squad and as a team were as good as any other '10 team in the league. They will show their stuff next year when they win the plaque for the third time. The tens started the season off right with a pair of victories over San Jose and Palo Alto respectively. These schools are very much larger than our own and our tens showed that they were good enough to win the championship in a much larger school. The league games proved easy and in the first game with Gilroy, Gilroy took a trouncing by a score of 2242. Mt. View didn't have a chance and went home on the short end of a 2241 score. Live Oak could do no better and lost 2645 while Fremont came closest to beating us when they came within four points of our score, 12f8. In the last game of the season they first humbled the tens by the score of 21f12 and then prof ceeded to mop up on the league leading Campbell twenties. All in all it was a very successful season and Coach Broadbent fears it will be many a long moon before another aggregation of such smoothly working stars will all get to' gether on one team. 110 TEAM Page SixtyfOne BASEBALL 1 93 1 RID This year's championship baseball team, under the guidance of the new baseball coach, Elmer Johnson, made a league record of five victories and no defeats, which eclipses last year's record of five victories and one defeat. The team played a total of 14 games of which they won 8 and lost six for a season average of 572. The team that took the field consisted of August Techira, catcherg Albert Freitas, pitcher, Walter Silva, first base, Captain Ambrose Alves, second base, Edmund Silva, third baseg Robert McGuire, short stop, Joe Montilla, left field, Anthony Bongiaf vanni, center fieldg and Anthony Farias, right field. The allflmportant reserves were Richard Abreo, pitcher, Lawrence Abreo, pitcher, Walter Knoth, pitcher, Domingo Guiterrez, catcher, Morris Quetano, second base, Manuel Paiva, shortfstop and third base, and Lawrence Quetano, fielder. These reserves played an important part in securf ing the penant for no team can be complete without them. The team played a good many games this year, some supposedly out of their class, in which they made a very creditable showing. Sequoia, a strong contender in the P. A. L., was humbled 4 to 2 and against San Jose, winner of the P. A. L., the team won one and lost one. The team journeyed to Gonzoles only to come home on the short end of a 3 to 0 score. Santa Cruz proved easy and we won 13 to 7. The Hrst league game with Campbell proved to be a walkfaway and the final score was 25 to 5. Los Gatos did not prove so easy and only an eighth and ninth inning rally pulled the chestnuts out of the fire. Against Fremont, who we defeated 2 to O, Al Tongo Freitas crashed the gate to the Baseball Hall of Fame when he pitched a nofrun, no-hit game. Al pitched magnificent ball for Santa Clara and we are expecting big things of him. Live Oak and Mountain View proved easy, and we won the former 19 to O, another shutfout for Al, and the latter 12 to 1. Joe Montilla topped the batting average list with the extremely high average of 490. Joe is another boy we are expecting big things of. Anthony Bangiavanni, star center fielder, came next with 435, while Captain Alves came in third with an average of 422. These boys batted in the cleanup positions, fourth, third and fifth and fulfilled all the expectations of their admirers. BASEBALL TEAM Page Sixtyffwo -- 'vc BOYS' TRACK More interest is being shown in track this year, but not enough interest was shown in lightweight track to have any dual meets. A dual meet with Los Gatos opened our track season with Los Gatos winning 78 to 35. In a triangular meet held with Los Gatos and Live Oak, Santa Clara came out second. As the Tocsin went to press before the S. G. V. A. L. meets nothing can be said about the meets which were held Fiesta week. LID BOYS' TENNIS This year's tennis team won another of the many tennis championships that have come to this school in the last few years. The team made a good record, for in the twenty league matches played, only three were lost and finished the season with a thousand percent. The team had many veterans and only two are leaving so next year's team will prof duce another championship. Paul Rea was manager and played first singles for the team, managing to win all his league matches. Windsor Geary, second singles, turned in remarkable scores and will play first singles next year. Dawson Pomeroy, another veteran who is leaving, won all his league matches. Walter Rhode and Leon Green got off with a bad start but finished the season way ahead of their competitors. Edwin Becker and Frederick Toth also had an easy time and together won all their matches although another double combination lost a match. Kay, Pullan, Fredericks, and Mead made up the balance of the team and they will get their chance next year. The team played three practice matches winning from the Seven Oaks Club and San Jose high and losing to the highlyftouted DeMolay team. The team defeated Campf bell 3 to 2, Los Gatos 5 to O, Fremont 4 to 1, and Mt. View 5 to 0, winding up the season with a bang. TENNIS Page SixtyfTh'ree Oil - GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' Basketball season was quite successful this year. Much interest was shown and the girls were willing and cooperative players. As has been the custom for the past few years, there were four interclub teams, namely the Shooting Stars, Batling Basketeers, Snappy Coeds, and Wild Womeix, captained by Marcella Perkins, Ila Seamans, Viola Norris, and Alice Uyemura respectively. The Shooting Stars came out on top winning every game they played. The Battling Basketeers came in second winning four games, losing four, and tieing one game. The Wild Womerl were handicapped by the loss of their captain and star forward, Alice Uyemura. They were game but losing fighters, losing five games and winning one. The girls attended several playdays and, on the whole, did quite well, the Shooting Stars carrying oif the honors several times. Page SiXly'FOlLT -1 '15 SENIOR AND JUNIOR VOLLEYBALL GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL The volleyball teams this year were interclass rather than interclub. As a result the Freshmen were given some sound beatings, but they were plucky fighters and deserve a lot of credit. Contrary to predictions, the Juniors captured the championship, winning five games and losing one. The Seniors placed second, losing two of the six games played. The Sophomores, third ranking team, broke even by winning three games and losing three. The Freshmen, despite their lighting spirit, did not make a win, losing all of their six scheduled games. The following were the captains of the respective teams: Seniors-Mary Nascimentog Juniors-Dorothea Silva, Sophomores-Roberta Culbertson, Freshmen-jane Dang' berg. Santa Clara held a volleyball playday in February, San Jose, Los Gatos, and Camp' bell being represented. Santa Clara was the guest of the schools at other playdays and usually made a pretty good showing. FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORE VOLLEYBALL Page SixtyfFive Oif' Q .. SANTA CLARA REDS GIRLS' BASEBALL Q19 As this article goes to press the girls' baseball season is iust starting. After a good deal of consideration Miss Kofod has Hnally chosen the teams and much enthusiasm has been shown. Several practices have been held and there is promise of great competition. As the teams are evenly balanced the outcome is doubtful. The teams this year are interclub. There are three teams, the Red Sox, Santa Clara Aces, and Santa Clara Golds and are captained by Alta Goodwin, Margaret Dunipace, and Viola Norris respectively. Each team has six scheduled games, the season to run until the first part of June. The girls have already received an invitation to a playday at San Jose, and there are prospects of others. SANTA CLARA GOLDS Page Sixty-Six -17156 GIRLS' TENNIS I KID Girls' tennis season officially opened April 27, and as this goes to press the teams are playing off their matches. This year there are six girls on a team as compared to three of other years. The four teams, Bingo Six, S. O. S. fServers Of Satanj, Demon Drivers, and Snap Dragons are fairly well balanced and competition on the whole has been pretty keen. The Snap Dragons, captained by Margaret Dunipace, first ranking tennis player, is now in the lead toward the championship. They have played off four of their matches, winning three and losing one. b The Bingo Six, under the leadership of Viola Straight, are on the second rung of the ladder. Out of four games played they have two wins and two defeats to their credit. The Demon Drivers, captained by Bernice Santos, second ranking player, and S. O. S., under the guidance of Yoshiye Ogata, are tied for third place, both teams having lost two games and winning one. There are eleven more matches to be played off so it is rather hard to pick the winner as yet. The season will run about two weeks more and will close around the first of June. Losing but four players this year, Margaret Dunipace, Viola Norris, Agnes Walden, and Evelyn Compton, Santa Clara should have some good teams next year as they will mostly be made up of veterans. GIRLS' TENNIS Page SixtyfSe'uen -iL'JC 9 Page SCUE71Ej7'O1lC Q O. GIRLS' :IINX The Girls' Jinx was held on Friday night, October 3.

A delightful program featuring songs by Thelmamae McCown, a saxaphone solo by Eloise Ellis, a reading by Miss Wiiichell, and a clever pantomine added to the evening's entertainment. Cool, refreshing punch was served to aid the dancers and after an evening full of fun the girls retired happy. GXJQID FRESHMAN RECEPTION The idiosyncracies of the queer little freshmen were brought to light at a very strenuous initiation, furnishing much meriment for the spectators. After they had en' tertained the other students by their antics, a very fine program was presented for the freshmen's benefit. The Thalians presented a short play, The Ghost Story, the Commercial Club put on a clever skit about a Typing School, and pantomines were given by the Girls' League, the Girl Scouts, and the Girl Reserves. A tumbling act was put on by some of the boys and the orchestra offered several numbers. GXJQID RALLY A rally was held October 29 for the Big Game between Santa Clara and Mountain View. Peppy yells, lively songs, and clever skits afforded an hour's entertainment in the assembly. The 'LPep hour was followed by a dance in the gymnasium to which the Mountain View students were invited. A spirit of life and friendliness prevaded among the students of both schools. GXJSIO SENIOR DANCE The first dance of the year was given by the Seniors in early December. It was a semifformal affair in the atmosphere of Christmas jollity. Holly and greenry pref dominated in the scheme of decoration. A lively fourfpiece dance orchestra provided strains of harmony for the festivity. The music issued forth from a bower of palms and greens situated at one end of the gymnasium. Much hard work was spent in preparing for the party but the workers were well repaid for their efforts as everyone enjoyed a delightful evening. Page Seventy I'wo ff COMBINED IINX The Annual Combined Jinx was a great success, Everyone came in costume prepared for a good time which they certainly found before the evening was over. All the freaks of nature known were present, among them were a Laundry Bag and Black Cat which took the prizes for the most original costumes. The gymnasium was decorted to represent a prison in black and white. As the students entered their finger prints were taken, much to their consternation. After several hours of joyous dancing a program was offered consisting of a skit by the Faculty, a chalk talk, some character sketches, and a unique presentation of Barnacle Bill. GSIQZD SOPHOMORE DANCE The wouldfbe collegiate Sophomores held their dance in an atmosphere of college colors. The walls of the gymnasium were adorned with various college colors and corresponding streamers lowered from the ceiling. As the students arrived they were given rooter's caps for their favorite college. During the early evening every one had a gay time, but as the dance progressed trouble ensued. Due to the misbehavior and inability of a few to be courteous the dance was closed at an early hour. GRJQZD HICK DAY A regular back to the farm movement-our famous Hick Day. The corridors were full of bashful boys and girls. Freckled noses, hair ribbons, print dresses, jeans, and straw hats added to the 'country' atmosphere. Even some of the faculty added to the gaiety of the occasion by appearing dressed in hickey costumes. At the noon day dance some of our Hicks showed a surprising selffassurance in dancf ingethe self conscious country boys were notoriously lacking. Gum chewing was prevalent in class rooms as well as corridors, and made one home' sick for the old farm and the dairy where the cows are so industriously munching their cuds. GXJLIB ERESHMEN DANCE The unemployed idea was attractively carried out by the Freshmen at their class dance. Under a bower of shredded newspapers the students danced blithely to the music provided by a seven piece orchestra. The girls dressed in gay prints and the boys in sport attire. Luscious red apples were served at the nominal sum of 2 for S, and were very refreshing to the dancers. The Freshman Dance was the first one to which all guests were barred and the students found that they could have a lovely time all by themselves. Page Seventyfliour BOY S JINX The Boys' Jinx this year was a huge success. It featured some very good school talent, among which were future Jack Dempseys, Strangler Lewises and the like. The Japanese boys gave a very clever exhibition of Juijutsu and followed it with an excellent exhibition of Japanese fencing. Every one agrees that the first Athletic Jinx was a hit, and it is hoped that future Jinx may be as original and as amusing. GXJQID MOTHERS' TEA As a tribute to their mothers, the Girls' League sponsored a Mothers' Tea on May 6. It was held in the gymnasium where card tables were arranged at which the guests were seated. Huge butterflies adorned the walls, and the ceiling was effectively lowered with dainty paper butterflies suspended from leaf covered wires. The attractive butterfly motif was 'carried out in the programs, napkins, and cups. A delightful program was enjoyed, featuring a toe dance, a Spanish dance, a skit, a Girl Reserve Ceremony, and several vocal numbers. GXKID JUNIOR DANCE Coming in the midst of the Fiesta season, the Junior Dance, May 15, was carried out in Spanish style. The gymnasium was gayly decorated in fiesta garb, sombreros and bright streamers being effectively arranged. Melodious notes issued from a patio at one end of the hall where the orchestra was seated. The room took on the appearance of a Spanish garden where gay senors and senoritas danced gracefully to the harmonious strains. The Junior Dance always takes on a certain formal air, as it is considered the Seniors' last high school party. Nothing could have been more appropriate and im' pressive than the beautiful Spanish setting. GXJQZB ' EXHIBIT The annual school exhibit was held in the gymnasium on May 22, 1931. The different departments of the school had displayed of their year's work, mainly, the art, cooking, woodwork, ironwork, and sewing departments. The Intermediate and Primary schools also had their work on exhibition. In the early evening, the Thalians presented a clever comedy, The Man in the Bowler Hat, which was well received. Later the sewing classes gave a fashion show, wearing the various garments they had made during the year.
