The 19513 Nautilus was created this year with the inspiration of this Viking tradition behind it. ln the past years someone with the true spirit of adventure chose this name to represent the hghting spirit of Santa Monica High. During the ensuing years, following the true ideals of the original Vik- ings. S.-XMOHI students have forged ahead in reach- ing new goals in education. athletics, music. drama, and citizenship. The word liking has become a tradi- tion, a symbol, an ideal, a word that means the best traditions, the best school spirit, and above all the best standards of sportsmanship. ln the past years the school has carried on in the true tradition of the Vikings. lt has opened up new helds of learning, citizenship and democracy. Years from now, we are sure that students of Santa Monica High School will continue to carry on in the true spirit of the original Yikings.

Now he has become one of the most successful adminis- trators in all of Southern Californiag last October he received word that his name would be in the new edition of the bi-annual biographical diction- ary. Wlufs Who in the West. He is listed among those prominent in the field of education. ln February Dr. Konold received his L.L.D. lDoctor of Lawsl degree from Chapman college. The rich student activity program and the high standards of scholarship at Samohi are the direct result of the skilled professional guidance Dr. Konold has given to his staff. Principal The director of guidance, Mrs. Mildred Vliilbar. came to Samohi in 1938 from ,lohn Adams Junior High School. Since she took her present position as director of guidance in 1943, she has planned reg- istration procedures. organized counseling pro- grams. helped students choose vocations. and planned curriculum. The counselors also help maladjusted and ill students become good workers. They have con- tact with the parents and teachers. The Armed Services often ask about students, and information is supplied by the counseling olhces. Guidance for students has been helpful in future vocational and scholastic happiness. Mrs. Vfilbar has contributed a great deal tot-:ard many students at Samohi. Guidance Director For six years Colin C. Petrie taught mathematics at Samohi. Before coming here be was a mathe- matics teacher at Delano High School in Central California.

He is an average Samohi boy. You and I will go with him through his classes. Vlihile Joe is talking to his girl friend, Sally Sophomore, I will tell you about Joe's ambition. Joe is going to college and must take certain courses. He must also take certain classes to graduate. But there is the bell. and we must follow Joe to his first class. which is English V. ln English V Joe is learning about American literature and contemporary authors. Joejs teacher could be Miss Hester. Mr. Clabby, Miss Boyd. or Mrs. Peters. Last year when Joe was a sophomore, he had to take English Hl and IV. These two courses are mainly studies of grammar, spelling. reading. and hook reviews. Mr. Lazarus. Mr. Clahlmy, Mr. Siflfert, and Miss Hester are mem- bers of the staff who teach these subjects. Perhaps in his coming semester, Joe will take such classes as Philosophy, the study of manls beliefs, English Litera- ture, the study of masterpieces of English literature, Con- temporary Literature, to acquaint students with modern American and British novelists, poets, and essayistsg Biog- raphyg or Library Science. These subjects are taught by Mr. Kennedy, Miss Shackelton, Mrs. Frink, Mr. VV. Kelly. and Miss Jackson respectively. Next semester Joe will have Radio, where students broad- cast over station KCRW, with Mr. Jenkins. 'GDoc'7 Evans' drama class learns about the stage and training of voices. Public Speaking, taught by both Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Evans, helps students to overcome fear of an audience. Mr. Wen- dell Smith teaches Journalism I and H, the running of the weekly school paper, the SAMOHI. Miss Crabbe has charge of the school yearbook, THE NAUTILUS. Joe was counselled yesterday, he had to choose between 12A English or English Fundamentals. Miss McGregor, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Lazarus teach these subjects to graduating seniors. Joe has a language minor. Latin is taught hy Mrs. von Sternadg Miss Emmett teaches both French and Spanishg Mrs. Aron, Mrs. Lelievre, and Mr. Marks teach Spanish to enthusiastic students.

California-Pacific History gives the student a chance to get acquainted with the history of Santa Nloniea. l,os An- geles County. California. Uregon and Wiashington. and lastly with Canada. Mexico. Alaska and Hawaii. Mr. Buchanan and Nlr. Viv. Kelley are two unmentioned figures who teach this course. lfconomics shows pupils how to attain and maintain a high standard of living. Mr. Hill has good cooperation in his class. Civics is another subject that Joe has to take next year. This is a study of federal. state. and local governments 1 of courts. passage of hills and zoning of local district. Voting prohlerns were especially interesting this year hecause of the election. Miss Bingham. Mr. lfsgate. and Mr. Swisher. keep their classes in order during the hisweekly movies. International problems and the United Nations are main topics ol' discussion in Prohlems in Democracy. Miss Bing- ham is the most vivid teacher of Problems on the staff. Joe may want to know something of himself and others- '- how they grew g why they act in such a wayg and what super- stition is and how to comhat it. These are common prohlems for the Applied Psychology class taught hy Mr. Meeks. Seniors learn what they can do about themselves and others in Cl psychology class. The Himalayas come between Tibet and India. Interesting facts come from maps. - In what year was the War of 1812 fought? An attentive listener will be able to give an intelligent answer to this worrisome history question. Famous persons of the past watch potentially famous persons of the future. i 1 5 s-N117 f N 1' .Ame We enjoy many coumer 0 ered in the Fine Arty Dqnmftnzenli Music is a lueautiful art which Joe and Sally enjoy in their leisure hours. At SAMOHI the Music Literature courses aid the student in discriminativc listening and in acquiring a reper- toire of compositions. Miss Moon has charge of all music classes. The piano classes. if taken from heginner to advanced, will give great satisfaction: Mrs. Wagner insists on practice. Music Fundamentals. which gives an inexperienced student a knowledge of symlmols and sounds of music. together with two years of Harmony. will give a student much pleasure. Miss Moonns knowledge of music helps the student increase his own knowledge. There are many musical organizations such as Choral En- semble. under Miss Moong Girls' Clee and Girls' Choir. under Mrs. Vlagnerg and Orchestra and Band. Mr. VCI-lls. Art also is a very satisfying holmhy. At Samohi a student can ohtain a thorough art course. Art Appreciation helps students understand lmeauty ol' color and design. Art Structure. a study of color and line formationsg Life D-rawing. a study of hgure constructiong and Ceramics. creative work with clay, are just some ol' the essential art courses taught hy Mrs. Ohman.

Joe has found that science can hc a great help to him in under- standing his own problems. Miss Strange, Mrs. Schneider. and Mr. Silvernalc are Biology teachers. Mr. Cornett, Mr. Browns- herger. are Physiology teachers and. together with Mr. Marsh- burn. are extremely good teachers of hearts and livers. Mr. C. Kelley also a good teacher of Biology. Our staff is very helpful in problems from head to foot. Mr. Killian, from saxophones to chemistry, is a very inter- esting man, even among the l'l3Ois and CUZ. lVlr. Thorne and Mr. Stark are relatively new to SAMOHI, while Mr. Silvernale, who is now gone. was head of the department. A little bookkeeping always helps whether you want to learn all about it or just enough to read and understand your bills. Mr. Landstrom's four semesters have been quite crowded lately. Typing classes can be a wonderful help to the student who is going to college. Mr. Trotter knows how to get the most out of the student. Shorthand can also be a help in business. The sym- hols learned by the students are memorized by Mr. Natvig, who knows many different forms of shorthand. Secretarial Training is the class that all good secretaries must take to have a secretarial major. ln addition Mrs. Quinn has classes in Shorthand and Olhce Practice, the study of main ollice tools, and Machine Calculations, which is the practice for more good training for high paying jobs in banks and offices. Salesmanship. Business Law and Business Principles all em- phasize the study of a person's relationship with the business world.

Mrs. Spaulding has had much experience in Dr. Konoldls otlice and knows the school hetter than anyone. To register in classes you must enter the attractive olllce kept hy Vivienne Stephenson. Checking vocational day, making senior lists, and helping worried students are some of her johs. Lois Palermo, recent graduate of SAMOHI, has grown up in the Reg- istration olhce, and makes a fine secretary for the counselors. HlVlr.

Mrs. Dandurand has the joh of attending to all calls which pass through the huild- ings. She also has charge of demerit files. Did you ever get called into the attendance olhce? A great deal of work went into that call. Agnes Frazer of that otlice must see that every person in SAMOHI gets recorded correctly as pres- ent or ahsent. The names of everyone ahsent must he alphahetized and written down for the daily attendance hulletin. lVlildred Dean helps to keep the ahsence slips llowing regularly. The deans, otlices are never complete without Hertha Morefield. l-lelping students is one of her natural traits. Keeping the hooks for such a large school can run into quite a few figures. Harriet lierk handles great sums of money. ln ad- dition to the daily finances of Vikels lnn. stamp Zlllil organ- ization funds, she adds the hand uniform drive. magazine drive, the lllarch ol' Dimes. and similar drix es. Virginia Honts really must know' her Al'5Cls to he ahle to keep track of all the hooks which are given to students during the year. liost hooks are quite a trial to Mrs. Honts and her staff in the llree text ollice. A hright, sparkling. l950 graduate, Nancy llaller. has helped to hrighten the lihrary as she assists in tl1e lihrary classes when Miss Jackson is away or husy with other students. A nurse needs help and Lillie May Green. Samohi's nurse. has plenty of help from girls who are interested in nursing. Dr. Konold explains to Mrs. Spaulding how he Wants his answer written.

Hattie Nagelhout eomes from the rooms in the upstairs of the main building to give passing persons a cheery hello. The eafeteria also has some wonderful personalities. lfranees Marklin has won national aeelaim for her recipe for the lflying Saueers served in our own Cafeteria. lflla Brown. Carol Holer- man.

These worthy ladies have given us a good reason for wanting to exercise in the gym classes. Hose Atkins watehes out for misplaeed sweaters and purses in the Girls' Gym. while Lemuel Fiore sees that similar proceed- ings do not oceur in the Boys' Gym. SANIUHI would not he eomplete without these wonderful per- sons. A smile from a student is worth more to them than even an appraising of their work. This girl came back today. Agnes Frazer checks with Mildred Dean on attendance. Bulletins and filings do not keep Mrs. Skelton from smiling. Mrs. Dandurand likes being an operator, but it keeps her busy. Helping us fo keep SAMOHI looking lovely is the job of this group. The cameraman does not stop the smooth running of the Deans' offices.

CLASS HISTORY The winter class of '53 came to SAMOHI wide-eyed and ex- cited in February of 1950. At that time there was just one Set of officers for tlic entire sophomore class, not separate ones for the A and B semesters. Therefore, the new lOBis were governed by Ann Zwicker, president, Helen Samaniego, vice- presidentg Leanne Cope, secretary, and Louise Fdgington, treasurer, all of the S752 class. Memories of that semester include the Fiesta, Boy Hates Girl Day, and the Sergeanette Ball. September of 1951 began an exciting sophomore A se- mester with the class's Hrst football season. Their own ofhcers mere elected: Al Butterfield, president, Howie Beazell, vice- Jresidentg Leila Fogel, secretar g and Mar Ann Heinze, treas- i C Y Y, 1 urer.

CLASS HISTORY Three long years ago on a foggy September morning. a motley crew of lanky adolescents looked with wonder at an impressive group of buildings known as Santa Monica High School. Vliith pounding hearts and clammy hands they entered the halls of SAMOHI and became united as the Sopho- more Bis-the future Spring class of 753. The first president of the Spring Class of 353 was David Bessie. He was assisted by Celia Mejia, vice-president, Pat Marshall. secretaryg Cecily Carter. treasurerg and an enthu- siastic class board. Viiorking together well and beginning to feel more at home, the Sophomore li class fell to with unusual gusto in making their mark at SAMOHI. February brought the Spring Class of '53 a little closer to their ultimate goal - graduation. But graduation was far from their thoughts when Celia Mejia was chosen Sophomore A president. More glory was sought after and received. The next foggy September morning didnit seem so dismal to our hand of returning scholars. this time Junior B's. In fact. SAMUHI looked pretty good to them. Gary Brumfield was elected right at once to lead his class. Making money was the main objective. This was accomplished by sponsoring after- game dances and cake sales. Vivith all this money in their pockets. the Spring Class of '53 faced their Junior A year and the foreboding Senior Prom sponsorship with confidence. Linda Friedman enthusiastically undertook the job of president. She greeted the Senior prom with a lot of ideas. Not satisfied with an ordinary, every-day prom, the valiant Junior Ais initiated the Prom Weekend- dancing at the Racquet Club on Friday night and swimming at the Chase Hotel the following Saturday. As the class board members took down the deflated balloons and the wilted crepe paper the day after the Prom. they wearily agreed that the Prom Vfeekend was a success and that everyone had had a crazy time. At last the long awaited year arrived-the senior year. The sunny September days were filled to the brim with class elections. A. S. li. appointments. and talk of football. football! After a long campaign period and a run off. the Senior B ofhcers were decided upon. They were Howard Zeigner. presi- dent, Cecily Carter. vice-presidentg Marilouise Smith, secre- taryg and Bonnie Mclntyre. treasurer. A hard and important job was headed by Jinnie Bentley, who served as Senior sweater chairman. After many debates. votes. and near brawls. the sweater and emblem were chosen. The color was Olympic blue and the emblem. designed by Bonnie Mclntyre. depicted the seal of SAMOHI. This was the big year for football. This was the year that the C. I. I7. championship was won. The team was at its bestg the Sergeanettes were at their snappiestg and the school spirit was at its highest. Playing on the football team were many long-to-he-remem- bered stars. Benny Clark. Dave Bessie. Hill Fitzgerald. Jim Vlfidaman. Ronnie Knox. Pete Casillas, Jay Priday and Mike McMahan worked as a hard hitting unit and Hbrought home the baconf' The Senior A semester silently sneaked up on the Spring Class of 753. and before they knew it, they were all seated en masse at an assembly, clad in their Olympic blue senior sweaters, thinking bewilderedly, mls this what it feels like to be a Senior AW Those symptoms soon passed and the whole class whole-heartcdly set out to be typical Senior Ais. Senior A President John Richards, A. S. B. President Gary Brumfield and Speaker of the House Dick Sherman surveyed their class and felt proud of it. They had all come a long way since that foggy September morning three years before. The last few weeks of the semester Went by in a whirl of activities, Hnals, senior banquet, senior play, cap and gown rentals. graduation rehearsals, and then graduation. Memories of the days spent at SAMOHI went through the minds of the solemnly garbed graduating Spring Class of 753. Memories of tacos eaten on a sunny Fiesta day. of applause heard at the awards asembly, of cheering at a football game, of the throbbing pulse of SAMOHFS marching band. of the shuflle of dancing feet at the Senior Prom, all these thoughts reminded the Spring Class of '53 that while they were leaving the SAMOHI campus. they were taking with them a spirit of good sportsmanship and high achievement that would remain a part of them in future years. 4-H. - Sy wr Q Q JQ y A 19 D' ' Q , mg' , 9 wif' 1+ 9 HQ'-4-N Y J ., - lnzllln 5 , EV' Q CHARLES BUTT Mathematics Major JAMES CALDWELL Science Major SARA ROSE CANCHOLA Fiesta Spanish Major CHARLES CARLSON R.O.T.C.

Last semester as Junior Ais they created the Senior Prom themselves. A wonderful creation it was! Tommy Jones and his orchestra playing specially at the Bel Air Bay Club . . . soft lights . . . something everyone there will never forget. There are many other successes in this class' history. Just ask any of the faculty about those faculty luncheons. two of them ta semester apiecet, which incidentally netted the class a little over twenty dollars eachl The Senior B's of this semester are a get-up-and-go class! ln 1952 they sold football programs at the games, collecting a 10 per cent commission on the first thousand and 15 per cent over that. This show of good sftlesmanship and farsightedness raised the treasury over a hundred dollars-one of the best ideas of the semester. Look at the list of Senior A's who have won fame and we hope fortunel Art Greenfield and Don Greco have caught the public eye with their pantomime Wlloo Youngn-a master- piece. Grace Sims does very well with that accordion of hers. and Glen Weirick makes beautiful sounds arise from a violin. There are so many others-Lois Hoy. who gained one of the leads in this year's senior play, Judy George, Betty Savarese. and Diane Dorwalt who are all understudies in the play. Clark liell. illustrious president of the class. was a can- didate for presidency of the California Association of Student Councils-quite an honorl Nancy Burton became secretary of the Girls? League, and another representative of this class also held that positionfSally Howard. Don Greco gained the position of secretary in Boys' League, and Art Greenfield was vice-president. ln Sergeanettes lda Mills did very well as a flagtwirler for two seasons, no less! Marilyn Ashford graced the song leaders, Carol Collacott was both a majorette and then colonel, and Sandra Szabo and Carol Burns were captains. These Senior l5's crop up everywhere. They swept into G.A.A. with Palmina Leehner as head yell leader and Karla Nielson, the yell leader last semester. They seem to do a fine job, too, everywhere. Sports were no exception. Tennis claimed Hob Adams. John Leonard and Don Vieira, football was very well taken care of by Art Greenfield, Don Greco. Jim lfveridge. These were not the only representatives of the class in sports- there were many others who deserved honors. The manager of Vikes lnn this semester is Dale Avery. Gary Schnahel was yell leader during the football season. ln October. Rochelle Rittman was the Caifornia State Cham- pion in horsemanship. The ofhcers of this amazingly active class may account for the vitality. They are Clark Bell, president, Karla Nielson, vice-president, Janet Barlow, secretary, and Palmina Lechner, treasurer. To aid them are the committee heads, who shoulder a good deal of responsibility. On publicity is Linda Alleng ways and means is Karla Nielson, senior sweaters, Pauletta Beckley fthey are going to be a lovely shade of yellowjg emblem, Shirley Howard tthe emblem was designed by Joanne Jonesftg and finance. Palmina Lechner, The total treasury, l might add. is 316597. Last semesters officers did just as fine a job. with Senior Proms and all: John Barnard was president. Janet Harlow. vice-president. Palmina Lechner, secretary, and Lois Hoy. the treasurer. Big things are in sight. Last yearis booth at the Fiesta, which featured ubuenon tacos, was so successful that another booth is planned for the substitute for Fiesta. VVay back in their Sophomore A semester the class sponsored a Community Chest danceg you can depend on some more dances in the fu- ture and thank this class for them. This is a class that Sponsor Brownsberger can be proud of. But wait until next semester, when as Senior Ais theyill really show the world!

Hlseave it to the girlsv must have been the slogan of the Junior A class. for they chose nothing but girls for their Fall class ollicers. Diane Howe was elected president, lionny Bader, vice- prexyg Sylvia Rawlings, secretaryg and Sherry Barnes, treas- surer. The combined efforts of these girls, along with the help of the board members, made the Fall semester a very successful one. The HRW Bop l-lop, and films taken at the Olympic Games were the main money-making activities, while several other noon dances and films also added to the treasury. Vivorking hard on the board along with the officers were Sondra Reid. Eddie Thomas, Diane Deliollin, Dick Dorsey, Carol Richie, Elizabeth Konold, and Beverly Jocher. ln the Spring the Junior A class chose Bob Heldman as president. This proved a wise choice as he made a very good one. He had been president of the Bl0 class and gained much valuable experience then. Eddie Thomas took over the role as vice-presidentg Carol Richie as secretary, and Carolyn Manary as treasurer. Guided by these enthusiastic leaders, the class at once started planning the Senior Prom. This event was held at the Deauville Club. The prom, with 'fliapsody in Bluew and an underwater theme, was a great success. The decorations were beautiful and the Al Harding orchestra played a fine accompaniment. The prom was certainly a hne tribute to the Senior A Class. unior Class The board members who helped so much with this un- dertaking included Jean Fisher, decorationsg Carol Darling, bids, Tim Salinger, finance, Sharon Strong. bandg Pete Lippett, location, Terry Sandke, publicityg and Georgia Watson, refreshments. Others helping these committee chair- men were Sherry Barnes, Eleanor Horovitz. Betty Konold, Susan Grasty, Pat Shaffer, Sally Carlson, Beverly Jocherg Mary Alice Ling. Gary Pietila, Chase Taussing, and Marilyn Manary. The Junior A class also sponsored the dance which was held after the hrst basketball game of the season and the dance after the night track meet. These also added to the many activities of the year. Outstanding in the class for drama was Rae Vileller. Rae won first place in dramatic declamation out of all the high schools in Southern California. She also won second place at the Speech Teachers Association of Southern Cali- fornia. The Junior A class also contributed Jack Douglas. Eddie Thomas and Dan and Dave Peterson to the CIF football team. Especially talented in music is Louise Coon, who was an outstanding performer in the Boys, League Talent Show. These events and activities helped make a very active and successful year for the Junior A class.

The IIB Class of 753 must have made a big hit with the faculty of SANIOHI. They have staged two faculty luncheons in the past two semesters. both taste-teasing successesl After col- lecting the proceeds of the last-of-the-season CIF Dance. they set to work on the spring semester of '53 with a treasury of over 35250. Some of the ideas that came up to add to this hopeful sum were a Starlight Ball teither surrounding the Creek Theater pool or new Municipal Poolj, a Mardi Gras to be shared with perhaps the Senior A Class and contain some of the glory of the Fiesta, and a 'fHello Dayf' The Starlight Ball idea was quickly rejected by agreement of the able president. Lee Grosscup. and the class. It became clear that patrolling the grounds and pool wherever the dance would be held was too big a job to handle. The Mardi Gras idea had already been pounced upon by other classes, and did not seem to be a likely success either. But the 'iHello Dayl, took hold rapidly on the enthusiastic class spirit and showed signs of becoming a reality. The idea was to sell blank cards at fifteen cents apiece and for one entire day, between periods and at lunch hour, have the student body rival for the greatest list of names. The win- ners. after turning in their cards would receive a substantial prize for the effort. Only the longest lists or possible winners would have to be checked for non-existent names or forgeries. HHello Day would give a wonderful opportunity for everybody to get acquainted with everybody else. Mr. Cornett and Mr. Meeks. sponsors of the class. showed as much interest in the idea as the eager class members. The best money-raising idea of all was thc planning of a second faculty luncheon. considering what a success the first one had been. An International Luncheon was suggested and be- came a hit from the first. F' International-type foods were on the agenda to represent all the well-known countriesg Spanish rice from Spain, enchiladas from Mexicog Indian rice curry. Chinese tea. French pastries, English pudding, Hawaiian pineapple and others. Vice-president Sheila Boehm and Secretary Wendy Machamer, not to mention Treasurer Anne Click and the various commit- tees and chairmen, got right to work on the several ideas. Last semester the competent cabinet had included Caroline Miller as vice-president, Marlene Kleinman as secretary. Jane DeArmond as treasurer, and President Bill Howard -v all active partakers in this semester's tasks. Another terrific triumph was the classis booth at last semes- ter's Fiesta. i'Cala becomes trite in frequent connection with the Fiesta, but ugalai' described the well-decorated booth that had a complete sell-out. Latin-American-type hotdogs were the specialtyg and they became so popular that the demand out- grew the supply and forced the closing down of the booth. Money was not the primary thought of this outstanding class. Honors came first-Delians, sports, all types of organizations were investigated by the active Junior B's. And at assemblies they stepped right up on the stage and took their places among the winners - this class was going places. As l0A's also they had collected quite a few honors in sports glohn Griffiths holding a letter in HAM tennisg a NIV' track letter captured by Bill Howardg and Lee Crosscup and Willy Holguin both taking NB track letters. Even as sophomore 'fB's the class boasted quite a few Honor Scholarship members fasso- ciate members of coursel to add to their shining record.

The Sophomore A Class can look back on its career of last semester as lO-B's and smile now-a little ruefully. though! Its lledgling efforts as Hscrubsfl the uninitiated, resulted in a popcorn sale that went wrong somehow. They lost exactlv nine dollars! lt wasn't because of lack of class spirit-there was plenty of enthusiasm, for a brand-new Sophomore B Class tof last semesterj. The group can remember now and laugh -- their Sophomore A semester has certainly made up for it. The popcorn sale was not the sole effort of last semester - there was the after-game dance co-sponsored with the ll-B's lnow ll-A'sJ which turned out very well, but then of course the proht had to be shared. Too bad those Junior Bas wouldn't consider donating their services for free! Financial troubles seem to bushwhack every Sophomore B class along the way. As 10-Ais the class could observe their struggling cousin class, the new 10-Bls and reminisce. They themselves were well on their way to a treasury of a more hopeful sizeg and class spirit, that ever-important quality so valuable to success, was also growing. President Dinny Mclsaac began the l0-A semester with a cabinet of Mike McGuire, vice-presidentg Pat Knowles, secretary. and Molly Mclntyre, treasurer. Molly must be fol- lowing in the footsteps of her well-known Senior A sister. Bonny and going on to new records of her own!

On the Board for the Sophomore A's last semester were .lean Carney on social committee, and Toni Szabo as head of the finance committee. The l0-A's did better than average with volunteers in class activities. Also as committee heads last semester were Mike McGuire on decorations, Don Brumbough on sports. and Georgia Keller and Molly Mclntyre on publicity. This semester also the class had many volunteers.

Sophomore B Class The polishing of the seal, one of our old traditions, is one of the first traditions sophomore li boys become acquainted with. During the first few days at school, nearly every new sophomore hoy gets the privilege of helping scrulm the seal to a shining luster, Though the first few days are the hardest for the newcom- ers as they battle their way through the confusing maze of di- rections and advice, they soon learn their way around and hecome acquainted with the school. The new students also ,learn what is expected of them as SAMOHI students and what they can do to help in student government. Most of the sophomore B's come from Lincoln, John Adams or other surrounding junior high schools. At first they stay with their old junior high school crowd. but they soon make new friends and hecome acquainted with those from other schools and with those going to SAMOHI already. Cetting off to a good start, the Sophomore B class elected as their oFficers'Don Kelley, president, Colleen Brown, vice-presi- dentg Carol Clayton, secretaryg and Diane Jacobs, treasurer. Activities during their first semester included a faculty luncheon, which was a great hit with the teachers, and an ice- cream sale, held at noon. They also had a cake sale, the chair- man who took charge of that was Donna Soper. Some of the others helping on the hoard were Judy Coleman, Wendy Ander- son, Betty Huntsman, Darlyn Spoerri, and Jessie May Hawtin.

These students made an agreement with the principal, Viiilliam F. liarnum, that if SAMOHI could have an open campus, they. the students, would patrol. These many years SAMOHI has had an open campus only through the existence and efforts of the leaguesg the present groups are carrying on the traditions and standards set up hy that one group forty-seven years ago. This Fall the Boys' League changed sponsors. Upon Mr. J. lf. Dayis taking the position of vice-principal vacated hy the retiring of Mr. A. R. Veenker. lVlr. Colin C. Petrie became the Leagueis new advisor. The ollieers of the Boys' League are elected once each semester at a special assemhly which all hoys at SAMUHI attend. Une candidate for each position must receive more votes than the combined votes of his opponents. These three elected officers choose the hoard, on the lmasis of achievement and willingness to serve. from those who have hlled out a petition for an ollice. This Boys' League Board has a meeting each week on Tuesday during third period in the ASH Room. The minutes of each meeting are placed in tht- lilurary with those of many other organizations in a folder where they can he read.

The question of having a Fiesta this year arose. but since the House. after talking to its classes. found the majority of students showed a lack of the enthusiasm needed to carry out such an elaborate project. there would be no Fiesta this year. Various suggestion were submitted as a substitute in- cluding Sadie Hawkins Day. County Fair Day. Inter-Class Competition. and a Mardi Gras. A representative from the House was placed on a committee that is to plan a suitable substitute. The House began a project of reading to their classes all reports of the California Association of Student Council Conventions attended by SAMOHI Representatives. House members conducted a vote to see whether the student body desired that judges for appeal courts be elected at the ASB elections by the entire student body. The House also con- ducted the Red Cross Drive and carried through other ac- complishments too late in the semester to be included here.

On the opening day of school in September a small group of Vikings assembled in room 6 for the purpose of creating and publishing the 1953 NAUTILUS. The drudgery of learn- ing the basic fundamentals of yearbook production having finally passed, a staff was chosen. Bonnie McIntyre took over the editorship for the coming yearg Lynne Markey became associate-editorg and Carol Taylor undertook the responsibilities of business manager. Other editors chosen were Lorrine Rona, seniorsg ,loan Gil- lette. underclassmeng Virginia van den Steenhoven. administra- tiong Bill Burkhardt. sportsg Sarah Shepard, artg Don John- son, clubsg Bonnie Mclntyre, organizationsg and Lynne Mar- key, activities. Rounding out the staff were Larry Arnold, liob Reed, and Carl Cramer as photographersg Cecily Carter, assistant class editor, and Cordon Holmes and Bob Hutchens. assistant busi- ness managers. The following weeks, NAUTILUS staff members were found tramping the streets of Santa Monica in order to find potential advertisers for the yearbook. The success of this drive showed in the worn-out soles and frayed nerves of the entire group. Next came the chore of deciding a yearbook theme. It seemed that nobody had any original ideas. Finally. after much bicker- ing, iiThe Viking Returnsii was suggested and unanimously accepted. Z3 Several very trying weeks ensued which consisted of plan- ning the yearbook layout. Many erasures, corrections, and second copies brought disgruntled looks to the faces of the colleagues in Room 6. But this task, contrary to the opinion of us all. eventually came to an end, and work went again smoothly on its way. The student body sale of yearbooks occurred in November. This called for the writing of receipts day after day. the counting of money tan enjoyable task, for surej. and posting of results on the contest chart posted in the main hall. It was a happy day when the week of sales finally came to an end. The weary crew happily greeted the coming weekend with only one thought in mind-to rid their poor hands of writers' cramp. But along with the trials and tribulations of the fall semes- ter came many thrilling moments. The biggest and most impor- tant of these was when the stafi first saw the cover. designed by Sarah Shephard, to be a thing of reality. Their mouths immediately fell open in awe at this beautiful. white. Viking- decorated cover. Those teachers allowed to have a sneak pre- view of the masterpiece showed their appreciation with inf-redulous oh's and ali's.'i 'l'hus. a very eventful lirst semester carrie to an end.

The SAMOHI. Santa Monica High School's weekly newspaper, is looked forward to each week by SAMOH1 students.

Editor-in-Chief Judy Fenigstein started the winter semester SAMOHI out in a true MSimon Legreew fashion. cracking her whip over her staff and the Hgreenii cubs.

In a true 'ilearn as you dow fashion they write a good portion of the SAMOHI copy. At the end of their first semester on the SAMOHI they publish, strictly on their own. the SAMOHI Cub Edition. It is usually as good. or sometimes better, than the preceding SAMOHIS. The culis for the winter semester were: Linda Allen. Hanley Bloom.

As the winter semester ended and the spring semester began, so did the winter and spring semester staffs of the SAMOHI. This time Judy lfenigstein became commissioner of publica- tions as Glenn Anderson moved up a step to editor-in-chief. Glenn was assisted by Associate Editor Hank Lallande.

The SAMOHI staff gets a preview of the workings of City College as the actual printing of the SAJIOHI is done in the City College print shop every Thursday afternoon. At this time. iast-minute headlines are hastily composed, words are added to too-short stories and are taken away from too-long stories. pages are joggled around until their form suits the page editor. the last proofs are hastily scanned for last minute mistakes, and the presses are finally set to roll. The SAMOHI staff usually staggers home from the print shop at about 5:00 P. M. with ink stained hands and whirling brains. An important job is headed by the the exchange editor. Each week this person has charge of sending copies of the S.4.'lIOHI to high schools all over the country. He also sends papers to SAMOHI alumni subscribers. Copies are sent to colleges all over the States and to Korea and Japan. Also each week the exchange editor receives copies of high school newspapers Typing, writing and checking-the cubs seem intent upon their worlr. from all over the United States. In this way members of the SANOHI stalf can compare newspapers and get new ideasg they also learn what is going on in other schools. The two commissioners of publications for the Spring and Winter semesters deserve a lot of credit for a hard job well done. They were Gwen Bowen. Winter semesterg and Judy Fenigstein. Spring semester. The commissioner of publications, who rates a seat on the ASB cabinet, looks out for the general welfare of the SAMOHI and the NAUTILUS. He also keeps the public informed of staff proceedings. is the general business manager of the S.4.ll0Hl and NAUTILUS. and prepares the SAJIOHI annual budget. To the average SAMOHI reader who gives this newspaper his brief attention. the SAMUHI exists in his mind as a machine which produces each week a sheet of paper printed with stories about the students and activities of SAQUOHI. But to the SAJIOHI staff the SAVUHI means deadlines to be met, copy to be written. words to be counted. misspelled words to be corrected, proofs to be checked. It also means the fun of working together as a unit to create and produce something useful and worthwhile.

With this cry ringing in their ears the 1952 Varsity Football team of Samohi burst into the locker rooms of the Los Angeles Coliseum and turned in their uniforms for the last time. A great- possibly the best-season was now ended. The peak had been reached but something more important added to the joy of the team and the cries of the rooters. This was the fact that the championship had come about through the greatest team play in football. There were some starsg but the team won by playing together, thinking together, and facing all difficulties together. Mira Costa's invading pigskinners started the season and were over- come by the Sudsmen with little difficulty. Alhambra came next and was the first big test of the year. Here the Big Blue'S power began to show, as Alhambra dropped to Viking spirit. Inglewood loomed up as the Vike's first Bay League gameg Corsair Stadium was filled as the combined Vike attack over-ran the fast Sentinels. The Colden Boys, dazzling offense and immovable defense held strong as the Vikings won Bay League and invaded Covina in the first C.l.F. game. Holding them from the start, the Vikes gained the quarter finals against Santa Paula, who, though they put up a deter- mined effort, went the same way as Covina. Now the scene shifted to Corsair Stadium where the semi-final jinx of the previous two seasons faced the team. The rooters moved to solid concrete on the opposite side from their usual bleachers to view the game. The invading Redland Terriers brought with them a strong de- fensive record and a fighting team. Through the drizzling and misty first half, the Viking attack suffered unusual hazards and the team went to the showers behind in points 7-O. Bursting out into the wet field for the second half, the Vikings pushed the heralded Terrier defense into the mud and grime and tied the score 7-7. This score held through- out the game but Samohi beat Redlands in that second half on first downs, 10-6. On the strength of yardage gained, the Vikes were declared the winners. They then overran South Pasadena in the finals under the big lights of the Coliseum. ln the final game, records were broken left to right as South Pasa- dena was dominated all the way by Ronnie Knox's spearheaded attack and running, backed up by a determined defense. Ronnie Knox shattered Samohils long history of Wharton, Carl Hachenberger, Art Greenfield, Mike McMahon, Clarence Brown, Eddie Thomas, HEAD COACH .lim Sutherland.

George Wallace, Tom Marsiglio, Duncan Ward, Ted Gross- men, Don Erickson, Bill Howard, MGR. Hal Kinney. Champs the C.l.F. passing record for T.D. passes that night, as he completed his total of 27. Boyd Carter, playing again with his injured arm in a cast, brought his total points to 177, breaking another C.l.F. record. Bonnie Knox and Boyd Carter walked away with most of the honors in C.1.F. but along with them were unlisted Sudsmen who also con- tributed much to the success of the team. Benny Clark gained honors in C.1.F. also. Dick Dorsey was put in as a surprise end in the Covina game, catching three T.D. passes and helping take the pressure off Boyd. ,lackie Douglas, rotating between first string halfback and relief quarterback, played an outstanding running game, as did rough and ready halfback Pete Casillias. Powerful Dave Bessie at fullback, Ruben McClamy, the little halfback with the record breaking sprintsg Nick Bennion, halfback, who was somewhat hampered by injuries, and Dave Peterson, who played everything from quarterback to first string half- back all were in there pushing for victory. Strong line work was the big push that helped the Norsemen to power their way to victory. Dan Peterson, weighing only 165, bulldozed his way all over the field and held down the center position in the line. Ends on a team are always in rough spots, and the Vikings were not lacking in good material for this position either on defense or offense. Such men as Boyd, Jack Klein, little mentioned but always in there pluggingg Dick Dorsey, Al Butterfield, Jim Everidge, and Ed Thomas contributed the extra strength that made a championship team. Powerful also on offense and defense were guard Benny Clark, whose leadership earned him the admiration of the entire teamg ,lay Priday, guardg and Bill Fitzgerald and Big Jim Widaman, tackles. Also adding their power to Samohi's great team were linemen Jerry Farmer and Art Greenfield, tackles, Rosalio Casillas, centerg and Mike McMahon, guard. Leading the teamplay and teaching the Vikes this most important fact of football was Coach ,lim Sutherland. He has had C.l.F. champs before. He has won Bay League for six years in a row and some before this, but most important he has taught team play and sportsmanship. i'Suds', is leaving for Cal-Berkeley this year and is taking with him the finest record of coaching in Samohi's history. We are sorry to see him go but wish him the best of luck: we will remember his years at SAMOHI.

V11 , 1 ' B Football SAlVlOHI's MB Football team made one of the greatest advances in their history, finishing the season with a second place in Bay League. They demonstrated again SAMOI-lI'S great competitive spirit and eagerness to get ahead. A relatively inexperienced team in two of their first games played some of the lgest HB teams in Southern California and with this experience rose to a hard-fighting nish. Mira Costa bowed before the lighties in the first game of the season. This did not provide enough experience, however, to take powerful Alhambra and Fremont, who overpowered the lighties through greater experience and manpower. With one win and two defeats on their shoulders, the lighties invaded Inglewood, only to lose a hard-fought battle by the small margin of 14 to 6. Now teamwork and hard practice had begun to mold the uB,s', into a smooth- running outfit and they began a winning streak of four games, interrupted only by the close of the season. Large scores and great team playing were evident in these last games, insuring an undisputed second place in Bay League. uLany,7 Bernard and Dick Reader, the only seniors who had played on the team before, were chosen co-captains and played a large part in helping to mold an inexperienced team into a fine outfit. These two players also held the first-string guard positions. Lee Grosscup piloted the teams as first-string quarterback, passing for fourteen T. Dfs. Jesus Larez, halfback, along with Lee, came out to play football for the first time this season. He was the leading groundgainer and was voted by his team- mates as the Most Valuable Player of the season. Rounding out the backfield were Chuck Lippincott, halfback, who took over at quarterback to relieve Lee, and Bill Hendricks, ,lim McPherson and Bill Murray, fullbacks. Bob Newkirk and Eddie Smith, outstanding ends, George Hughley and Bill Murray at tackle, and Bill Bonozo. center. along with defensive players Bay Hardin and Eddie Chatwin rounded out the outstanding members of a hard fighting, clean play- ing team.

The loss of some tough and decisive games in overtime play brought the Vikings to the end of the season with a 1114 won-10 lost record. A third place in the Pacific Shores Tournament and a fifth place in the San Diego Tournament were some of the highlights of the season. Our old rival, Redondo, provided the biggest thrill as we lost our first encounter to them in overtime. Ronnie Knox, Leonard Bourget, ,lim Everidge, Ronnie Koval and Jackie Douglas were outstanding, and Coach Tom lVIcCarvin provided helpful guidance and leadership through the season.

Girls' Tennis A surprisingly large group of girls came out for tennis again this yearg they are recognized as one of the finest clubs in this territory. Several of the girls are rated in their divisions in Southern California standings. The team participates in such matches as the Ojai Tournament, Santa Monica Closed Tournament and the Southern California Tournament. Among their accomplishments have been an unoffi- cial first place in Bay League last year and a good chance for the same this year. One thing hampers their chances, however, this being the unwillingness of other Bay League schools to play against grated Girls making Z7 7 D it necessary for the team to send only second and third string players.

Wexler, Bill Brewer, and Nick Bennion. Arsenic and Old Lace, a three-act comedy with a gruesome twist, was the senior play chosen by the Winter Class of l953. Under the fine direction of Doctor Evans, Arsenic and Old Lace became an amusing and highly entertaining production. The Barnum Hall stage was changed into the gloomy but homey old-fashioned Brooklyn home of two sweet old ladies, who spent their spare time in relieving old men of their lonely existence by means of arsenic, skillfully hidden in elderberry wine. Complexities arose when Jonathan, the aunts' sinister nephew, returned home with a few corpses of his own which he promptly added to those of his auntsi. The parts of the two old ladies were double cast, with Jackie Wright and Ami Hoeger playing the parts of Aunt Abbey and Aunt Martha respectively, in the matinee perform- ance. Toni Teitelbaum and Margaret McElroy played the same parts in the evening performance. The part of Elaine, who sup- plied the love interest, was also double cast. Vivian Flaxman played in the matinee and Jackie Donatoni played in the evening performance. Dick Sherman, portraying the character of Teddy Brewster, relieved the tension of the play as he busied himself in creating the illusion that he was Teddy Roosevelt. The part of the murderous nephew Jonathan was taken by Larry Arnold. Nick Bennion portrayed lonathan's side kick, the frustrated surgeon, Dr. Einstein. Pete Simmons handled the part of Mortimer Brewster, the play-critic, exceptionally well. As the Hstraight man he was kept busy making love to Elaine between momentary escapes from the murderous Jonathan. At the same time he is trying to convince the poice that his aunts were not responsible for the thirteen bodies buried in the cellar. Howie Beazell and Dick Teresi played the parts of the policemen who aided Mortimer in lonathaifs arrest. Al Butter- Held was Sergeant O,Hara, the policeman who was convinced that he was a playwright. Don Hansen played Lieutenant 07Rooney, the police detective who cleared up the whole mess and caused the play to end happily. Of course the two obliging ucorpsesn mustn't be over- looked. Lester Korn and lack Wexler very graciously let them- selves be transferred from window seat to cellar. Pat Kelly. student director. and her assistant. Elaine Bey- nolds, deserve much credit for their hard and little pub- licized work. They did everything from prompting and mend- ing costumes backstage to taking over the directing when Doctor Evans was busy with the staging effects. An important part of the play production was handled by Mr. Ray Henderson, stage crew instructor. The stage crew did the actual set designing and construction. Head electrician Melvin Holbrook and his assistant, Bill Wistrom. saw to it that both the stage and house lights were turned off and on at the correct moments. Stage Manager Ronnie Koontz and his assistant. Don Brumbrough. directed the stage mechanics. The senior play, Arsenic and Old Lace, will long be re- membered with shudders of horror and smiles of delight. A scene from the play finds Pete Simmons portraying Mortimer Brewster, Vivian Flaxman as Elaine Harper, and Dick Sherman taking the part of Teddy Roosevelt Brewster. Those responsible for the presentation of ARSENIC AND OLD LACE are Dr. Evans, Pat Kelly, La Loie Jones, Diane Paris, and Leila Fogel.

They Win bono For many years it has been a feather in SAMOHFS cap for its students to achieve awards and to represent the school throughout the state and nation. Many universities find Santa Monica High students worthy of large scholarships. In addition to these, business and school awards and honors such as Bank of America, Sears, Gold Key, Addison Barnett, Ethel Robinson, Scholarships, and many others are presented each year to those SAMOHI students who earn them. Chosen to represent SAMOHI at Girls' State this year was Elizabeth Konold, a member of the Girls' League Board. The Bank of America awards were presented to those senior students who excelled in each of the fields of educa- tion. Winter grads Lorrine Rona fwho also received the 3100 Pan Hellenic Scholarship to U.C.L.A.j, and Barry Boehm were winners in home economics and mathematics, respectively. Others were summer grads Barbara Wilson, art, Joan Gillette, social studies, Jackie Wright, business, Larry Arnold, lan- guage, Art Lewis, music, Gerald Davis, English, Don Stewart, science, and Ben Mayeda, trades.
