We design this book to serve a twofold purpose: as a reminder of the happenings of our senior year -its pleasures, privileges, and problems, and also, as an interesting and profitable project involving, as it does, the gather- ing of suitable material, editing of copy, designing the art of the is- sue, defraying the expense of the book, meeting the public, , and satisfying our fellow I :J T Y if I s'r ,ag g 5'I x l 0 ' 1 HL, , 1 S I .Q Socml' students.

Principal's Message True education means, not to get something, but ern school is trying to hew the log to fit the in dividual, so that he may have the opportunity of becoming what he hopes and is d signed to become. More and more the interest is focused upon achie - ing and education, not upo obtaining marks a d credits. Q ul to become something. Witlu this in mind the mod- , W. C. PATCHETT I .za X The Coast Nature gave many gifts to Sonoma County. Among these is her beautiful coast line of the Pacific Ocean. It is the envy of many a state and county as it has beauty as well as economic importance. One of the best known spots is Bodega Bay. It is popular in winter as well as in summer. Tourists find its rugged hills and cliffs a beautiful adjunct to the mas- sive body of water. The fishermen find a wealth of sea food in its water. Then, also, nature lovers find peace and contentment in the deep blue sea with its frothy white caps contrasting with the azure sky. One need not go to the resorts of the shore such as Bodega, Jenner By The Sea, or Fort Ross as there is much beauty and pleasure to be found on the lovely strips of sand among these resorts. Indeed, her Coastline is another of Natures gifts to Sonoma County. VIOLA Cooic. 1 y J? L -4 sj' Q, 'ze bf:- ,,,,, V. A541 f. ff-050 A., ,. M A ww ' A L T I-I E E C l-I O 151 Board of Education MR.

Eizglifb STUDENT BODY GOVERNMENT The Governing Board, elected by the Student Body, the most active body in the school affairs of the Santa Rosa High School, has had a most successful year. The Commission form of government, which was inaugurated in our school two years ago, has proved very efficient. Every phase of school business is represented by a commissioner. Through these commissioners all problems of school manage- ment are presented to and acted upon by the Board at their regular Weekly business meetings. The functioning of our Student Body Government has greatly bettered all school relationships and done much to solve the general problem of the morale of our school. The Student Court, with the Senior judge presiding and the Board acting as jury, tries all cases of violation of school regulations, and assesses punishment accordingly. Besides the regular business, the Board also acts upon all matters in which the student body is a party, such as, planning the High School entry in the Rose Carnival, all school dances, rallies, and traffic regulations in the hall and on the CZIITIPLIS . One of the most important measures passed by the Governing Board this year was the selection and adoption of a regulation school pin. With the cooperation of the Faculty and students, the Governing Board has made the year 193341934 a happy year for Santa Rosa High School.

The idea of the organization was gained from neighboring schools and cities which encouraged such activities, Membership in the Service Corps is gained by a point system, points being awarded for service to the school.

The associations between us, our school, our friends, and the pleasures which we have enjoyed will linger in our hearts forever. It is our earnest hope that our fellow classes have looked upon our accomplishments with pride. We hope that the example which we have endeavored to set is one that will be beneficial to those who follow. Our class is justly noted for the active part it has taken in all school affairs. Many of the boys of the class have been members of the football, basketball, track, or baseball teams. Many of the girls have earned their athletic awards or blocks. We are indeed proud of our class mates who have been outstanding in scholarship and debating. Others who deserve special mention are those students who have excelled in art and music. We feel that we have worked cooperatively with the Student Body and the Governing Board in all vital school interests. We do not leave without a feeling of deep gratitude and appreciation for all those teachers who have so patiently and thoroughly prepared us for higher education or for our life's work. Our happiness in having completed one cycle in our educational career is not unmixed with regret for the happy times that have been and will be no more in Santa Ros High School.

Its guiding genius was Sheridan Baker and the decoration Collegiate, one end of the gymnasium was decorated with Stanford colors and the other with the Blue and Gold. The dance program also carried out Collegiate theme. The class of '55, by all later juniors a in conjunction with the Seniors adopted a standard pin to be used nd Seniors of our High School. As Freshmen, this junior class determined to be one of the most prominent classes ever enrolled in the Santa Rosa High School in participation in and support of all school activ- h ities. Witli the aid of their ambition. One ye an enviable past and elpful teachers and by their own initiative they have partly realized ar remains for them to completely demonstrate themselves.

We hope that we shall be able to carry on the traditions of Santa Rosa High School, and provide leaders who will make her name great. We believe that we shall be able to do this. As freshmen, we showed our calibre when two of our members won the Interclass Debating championshipg and as sopho- mores we have shown our abilities in every activity. The class has had new successes in debatingg in girls' athletics the class is represented by an unusually strong groupg and in the gymnasium and on the field the sophomores have shown that the school will be proud of the class in years to come. And equally important, the rolls of the Scholarship Society show that 1936 is a class of good students. OFFICERS Preiident . . . Hume Bunyan Vice Preridelzt . . Leland Miller Secretary . . .

The October event, directed by Emily jones, was an evening sports dance, with the N. R. A. as its inspiration. Red, white and blue streamers and autumn flowers made a charming background. julia Turcatti presided over the spring reception, which was held in the af- ternoon, after a postponement, as a result of our earthquake scare. The newly organized Santa Rosa High School jazz Band made its first public appearance at that time, provid- ing music that was greatly appreciated by the large crowd in attendance. The Sophomore Class is proud of the privilege of representing its school. May we add new laurels to its name, and new brilliance to its lustre!

At the beginning of each semester a Senior-Freshman Tea, with an informal dance in the Cafeteria is arranged. During each term a Girls' Jinx is held. These dances are the only ones of the year at which the girls can be themselvesf' This year's Fall Jinx was a Kid's Party, which was well attended, with many of the girls looking very dainty in their childish costumes. The Spring Jinx was a masquerade with prizes offered for the best costume, the best group and the best stunt of the evening. In the Fall, the President and Secretary, chaperoned by the Dean of Women, at- tended the annual Girls' League Convention in Oakland. The special assemblies presented this year included The Olvera Puppeteers, Beauty Talk by Mrs. Higgins, Talk, Miss Dayman, counsellor of Mills College, the Candle Cere- mony of installation of officers, and several programs in which our own students par- ticipated. May 11, our mothers were entertained at a program in the High School Audi- torium and tea out under the oaks. The 1953-1954 officers have been responsible for many enjoyable occasions of the year, luncheons and parties of various kinds. This year's sponsors, Misses Spaulding and Lange, elected by the League at the begin- ning of last Fall semester have been untiring and inspirational in their leadership and much of the success of this year is due their helpful counsel. f OFFlCERSif,,, P1'e.ride12t ..... ,Kathleen Deems Vice Prerident . .

IIMMWHVI,-'i HH Y LHB Scholarship Society Students of Santa Rosa High School are taking a much greater interest in scholar- ship standards as is evidenced by the two-fold increase in membership over that of the previous year. . On December ninth the Fall District Convention was held at Tamalpais High School. The convention was in the nature of a Christmas party. The annual regional convention was held in Sacramento, May 5, 1934. On March tenth the Spring District Convention was held at our high school. Ap- proximately one hundred delegates represented the following high schools: Analy, Cloverdale, Healdsburg, Kelseyville, Petaluma, San Rafael, Sonoma, Tamalpais, and To- males. Through the diligent efforts of the hostess advisor, Miss Covert, and the chairman, Nathalie Crane, this convention was generally conceded to have surpassed any previous convention held in this district. The unusually beautiful decoration of the luncheon table received much admiration. Place cards and identification cards were made by the Fine Art Classes. During the latter part of April twelve Senior and junior members spent an interest- ing and inspirational day as guests of Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society at the University of California in Berkeley, They dined at the International House on the campus.

The Board, ably advised by Miss Bernice Ielmorini, has taken a very active part in this year's social program. They had concessions at Nickel Nite and have held several small but enjoyable and profitable dances during the year. The greatest event of the school year, the Library Board Karnival, was staged in April. With the funds obtained at these events, the Board has bought a number of new books for the shelves among which are: W'ho's Who, 1934, Works of Shakespeare, New Dictionary of Thoughts, Whitman and Burroughs, Comrades by Barrus, Leaves of Grass by Whitman, Emerson's Chronicle and several outstanding magazines: Current Debates, House Beautiful, Theatre Arts Monthly, and News Week for the current school year. Catalogs from various Art Schools, Colleges, and Hospitals were also placed on the shelves for the student's use. FALL 1953 OFFICERS SPRING 1954 Barbara Burke . . . Preridevzt .

This fund was used to purchase lunches and clothing for needy fellow students. At Christmas time each Advisory Section was given one largetfamily or two small ones to provide with Christmas cheer. The students contributed foods of all kinds, toys, books, and clothing. Some students brought money with which fresh fruit was purchased. Altogether boxes were filled for forty needy families of Santa Rosa. These boxes were presented at the annual Christmas Program given in the High School Auditorium. The day before Christmas they were distributed to the different families. This spring a call was made through the Advisory Sections for voluntary contributions to the Student Aid Fund. This met with a satisfying response, proving warm-hearted sympathy for fellow students less fortunate. Ormcens Preriderzi . . . Dorothy Downs Vice Preridenl . . Evelyn Miglio Sefrelary . . .

Witlu the restrictions for membership lifted, the club had more members who were interested in music and its betterment. During the past year any girl who had outside musical education was admitted to the club. Girls of the beginning chorus class were also given membership in the organization. Members of the Philomel Club appeared in the operetta, The Marriage of Nan- nette, Echo Stunt Nite, Baccalaureates, Commencements, National Music Week Festival and other programs. Many interesting programs were given during the regular club meetings by members and other musical students. These proved very interesting and did much to help the girls appreciate good music. The social activities of the Philomel Club included a picnic at Fetters Springs in the fall, a dinner at the high school, and the Operetta Dance in the spring. 3 FALL SEMESTER OFFICERS SPRING SEMESTER Danuta Mathes . . , Prerialezzt . . .

This organiza- tion enables him to become more familiar with the great composers, to increase his playing abilityg to add to his friendship circle musicians of other cities through the Music Festival, and to give him experience in concert performances. It is the foundation of a musical future, not only in performance but also in appreciation of great musical works. Gladly contributing its services, the orchestra participated in many school events this year. On December 14 occurred the Christmas Program for which the orchestra both accompanied and soloed. It also played for the Fall and Spring Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. Selected members of the orchestra played for the operetta, The Marriage of Nan- nettef, The orchestra supplied music for the Reginald Travers Repertory Players' presentation of Alice in Wonderland on December 7, and for Educational Night held on April 24. Taking part in the Rose Carnival, the orchestra played for the crowning of the Juvenile King and Queen. The most outstanding musical activity was the Musical Festival held this year in Santa Rosa. Besides a performance of its own, the orchestra had many members chosen for the selected orchestra. FIRST Row: Reeves, Beal. Nelson, Iiufford, Iiugolo. Beck, Hastings.

The Readers Club The Readers Club has brought together a group of persons who have met friends in books and who wish to share those friends with other people. Thus the organization provides its members a means of becoming better acquainted with great authors and their works. To awaken a spirit of competition in this gaining of book friends, the club has adopted an honor system by which it gives a volume to that member who best fulfills the requirements of club membership. At regular meetings during the club year members have discussed books which they have read. Twice, Mrs. Eugenia T. Finn, a leader in literary groups of Sonoma County, offered instructive and interesting talks upon the literature of today. At the beginning of the fall semester, the Readers Club joined with the Laurean Club to present Edwin Markham at an assembly. Later, the club made a trip to some of Sonoma Countyls places of literary and histor- ical significance. This trip included the ruins of Jack London's home, the Sonoma Mission, and General Vallejo's home at Sonoma and his old adobe near Petaluma. In April, the interest of the club proved itself social as well as literary, for sixteen girls affirm that their picnic at Bodega will be long remembered.

We have done extensive work in printing, tinting, and enlarging pictures for ourselves and others. Committees for working on printing and enlarging came Night School nights, when the building was warm. With Miss Ufkess' faithful help, we have done some good, work in all processes. A new method, The Photo Rite Process, has been tried for printing. It takes less time and is also a much easier way. At regular meetings we had representative photographers come in to tell us about the art, the physics, and the chemistry of photography. Most of these speakers were very interesting when not too technical. We also have had many social events. The Commercial and Camera Club joined to- gether and had a very successful dance. We went on numerous hikes and had a swim- ming party, taking a supper lunch. Wherever possible pictures were taken. All in all, we feel that we have accomplished much to better our Club.

During this year the Astronomy Club has held six or seven hour meetings during reg- ular club periods and also held meetings on practically every clear Monday night. In the school meetings we had some very interesting talks on Astronomy and Navigation given by Miss Lange and members of the club. We had an exceptionally interesting talk on nav- igation given by Commander Parker of the United States Navy. Many of our talks and ob- servations Were made more clear to the Club by blackboard drawings made by our Ad- visor. At a few observation meetings we were fortunate enough to be allowed the privil- ege of using Mr. Elkins' telescope and of visiting Mrs. Huffine's observatory. A social function of the Club was a dance in conjunction with the Orchestra Club on the night of Friday, january nineteenth. f5 T I-I E E C I-1 O 55 Ifmsr Row: Iiuller.

Enitms, Adviser Mineralogy Club Although the Mineralogy Club of the Santa Rosa High School is a new club, organ- ized in the fall term of 1955, it has more than fifty members. The purpose of the club is to make a collection of minerals for an exhibit to send to the State Fair at Sacramento. In this way the members will learn to know one mineral from another, also to know the value, forms, and uses of the different minerals. Cases in which to exhibit the collection are being made by the woodwork classes of the High School. Mr. Elkins, the sponsor of the club, has given to this collection over three hundred duplicates from his own collection and some members will also loan or give specimens for the exhibit. The club members have made many field trips on Saturdays and holidays to find min- erals for themselves and the club. Several trips were made to the coast, the Petrified Forest, and other interesting places. At our monthly club meetings, the regular business of the club is first transacted and then an address upon or' discussion of some phase of Geology or Mineralogy is given by an outside speaker or one of the club members. Herbert Thomas of the Santa Rosa junior College gave an illustrated talk on his trip to the Grand Canyon telling of the formation and structure of the Canyon. Various members of the club have given interesting reports of field trips taken, or discussed various minerals interestingly. Mn. TIAIODIAS Adviser Commercial Club The most active year of the Commercial Club, thus far in its history, is that of 1933- 1934. During the current year Mr. Thomas, the sponsor, has had his hopes realized in having the fullest, most enterprising period in the organizations growth. Each member has discharged faithfully any committee duty assigned him and has given loyal support in every way. The club consists of twenty-two students, all of whom are majoring in commercial subjects, and have as their objective the promotion of friendship among the members and the gaining of a wider knowledge of actual business conditions. Some of the outstanding events of the club were: an interesting talk by Mr. Herbert Slater, State Senator from this District, on world outlook, a discussion of the activities of a commercial college by Mr. E. E. Close, of the Luther Burbank College of Commerce, an economic talk on The Value of Early Savingsf by Mr. Clyde Sweet of Sweet's Business College. We operated a food concession at Nickle Nite, enjoyed a swimming party at Fetters Springs, had comic readings, Hill Billie music, tap dancing, and accordion playing. The Commercial Club and Camera Club united to give a dance in the Cafeteria near the close of the fall semester. SPRING, 1954 Rachel Walsli Mary Brown Mabel Smith Mary Dimmick . . Trea.rzzre1' . . .

The purpose is carried out through private correspondence with different students in foreign lands. At present the club has correspondence with students in India, France, Hol- land, Italy, and England. During the regular monthly meetings we have had interesting talks on travel in the British Isles, Italy, China, and Cathedrals of the world. Upon the resignation of Harrison Smith, Cynthia Spurgeon, Vice President, assumed the office of President, March seventh.

Those who joined the club knew little of poetry but merely had a genuine interest in litera- ture, which has now developed a working knowledge of the subject. The purpose of the club has been to stimulate the writing of original stories and poet- ry. In their increasing interest the members have produced decidedly worthwhile poetry and have succeeded in vitalizing the subject in our school. Many manuscripts have been sub- mitted by the students, which were evaluated by the Laurean Club. As a result of enthusiastic efforts, the members of the Laurean Club have been able to submit entries in the Ides of March Poetry Contest and in the Chamber of Commerce Essay Contest. In this poetry review Idell Keesling, William Dawson, and james Diemer received awards. james Diemer was awarded second prize in the Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce contest, which was held in October, 1935. The Edwin Markham Assembly, sponsored by the Laurean Club, and the program presented by Carl Sandburg were heartily received by the Laurean Club. In addition to these two nationally-known poets two well known local writers, Eugenia T. Finn and Nell Griffith Wilson, presented readings to the group. The committee has selected manuscripts of high quality from the many submitted for publication in the 1934 Laureate,', and it is hoped that it will be an outstanding issue.

Stamp Club The Stamp Club was organized in September, 1930. It has a small but diligent mem- bership who come together once a month to discuss stamps, study new issues, and to trade stamps. Members bring collections to exhibit. Reports are frequently made on the stamps issued by some country commemorating historical events of special interest, and the geography and customs of countries are a part of that study. Special programs during this year have been interesting talks by Bruce Ham- or 10B, and Peter A. Smith 9B, both of whom have valuable collections of stamps. The club fish pond and fortune-telling booths were among the popular activities for raising money at our school affairs. The Stamp Club will have an exhibit at the State Fair for the first time this year. The members are making a series of maps on which to exhibit their stamps in the form of a book.

Frank Noonan Future Farmers of America The Santa Rosa Future Farmers have enjoyed one of the most successful years of their history. This success is chiefly due to the manner in which all the Ag boys have cooper- ated in all F. F. A. activities. HIGH LIGHTS OF 1933-34 Santa Rosa was very successful at the California State Fair, September, 1953. Our Chapter alone had two.State Farmers: namely, Sam McMillan and Kent Bathurst. The former being considered best Future Farmer in California, gaining the distinction of Star Farmer. Santa Rosa placed second in the State Chapter Achievement Contest. Showing livestock at the San Joaquin County Fair proved profitable. The total money amounted to 3l102.00, prizes on fine hogs. At the junior Livestock and Baby Beef Show Santa Rosa again forged to the front. More than 351,000 in prizes and premiums were won on fine lambs and a steer. The Santa Rosa Judging teams again gained a sweeping victory at the Davis Picnic judging contest. They won the Sweepstakes Trophy, and are leading Lodi by 34 points on the Governor C. C. Young Trophy. The livestock and Entomology teams placed first in their respective contests. Dairy Cattle placed second, being first in Holsteins and Guernseys. The Annual F. F. A.

The society boasts a membership of fifty, including two boys, Ralph Gambogi and joe Bianconi, who have won their all-star sweaters. To earn a block letter, a boy must have played in a majority of quartets in basketball, and football, a majority of innings in baseball or have earned a certain number of points in track, golf, tennis, or swimming. In addition, the team must place no lower than a tie j for second place in the league standings. All-star sweaters are awarded an athlete when 461 he has won his block in three major sports, or two major and one minor. This year the club started a roster of all lettermenn and issued Alumni tickets to past members of the society. These tickets admitted the bearer to all athletic contests for half price. The social features of the club's activities were the Block S Dance and a Fall and Spring initiation party. All new lettermen were welcomed into the society during the initia- rions which were followed by eats and entertainment. cad 5, -ff' 1 FIRST Bow Berrylzill, B.

This paper, issued weekly by the journalism department, has received very favorable comments at the Central California Scholastic Press Con- vention, held at Stanford University last October, and at the Press Con- vention sponsored by the University of California in April. D. Harrison Smith, managing editor for the fall semester, and Evelyn Tolley, managing editor for the spring semester, have worked earnestly for the improvement of the paper. The new editorial board, composed of the managing editor, the assistant managing editor, the commissioner of publicity, and two asso- ciate editors, was appointed for the spring term this school year to pass judgment on copy as to whether or not submitted articles met the terms of the paper's policy. Combining with the Press Club, the journalism classes sponsored the Funny Paper Dance for the benefit of the Santa Rosan, May 11. FALL SEMESTER STAEE SPRING SEMESTER D. Harrison Smith .

On November 1, 1933, Mr. Silvershield from the Press Democrat gave an instructive talk on journalism and some of his experiences. Another interesting talk was given by Mr. Herbert Slater, State Senator from this District, who spoke on his experiences on a newspaper staff. The Press Club held its semi-annual party December 8, 1933. The dance music was furnished by Virgil Brown. In the spring semester, the Press Club had more activities than it had in the fall. On Echo Stunt Nite, March 1, 1934, the Club presented a one-act pantomime, Uncle Tom's Cabin. The members visited the Santa Rosa Press Democrat Publishing Com- pany March 14, and were conducted through the various departments in the building. Combined with the journalism classes, the Press Club gave a Funny Paper Dance May. 11, 1934, as a benefit to raise money for the Santa Rosan, the High School weekly newspaper. Several novelties were given at the frolic and the High School jazz Orchestra played for the dancing. k In t N, .' f, vsfffii FALL SEMESTER OFFICERS SPRING SEMESTERf f, ,wif-fx. 1- Marshall Faylor .

Barbara Burke Vive Presidenl . Wilda Archer Sec'y-Treat. . . Jewell Hinds The purpose of the French Club is not so much to speak and study French as to enjoy what we have already learned. We have named the club Les Rendez Vous des Amies, which means the meeting-place of friendsfl Our regular meetings consist of the regular business routine after which we either sing French songs, converse in French, or some member gives a talk on a French book or interesting French topic. Every member in the club corresponds with a French girl. This practice corresponds with our motto, Toujours Cherchant, which means always seeking. During the last term the club attended several plays at the French Theater in San Francisco. This has not only been instructive, but interesting as well. In suitable weather we have enjoyed delightful picnics held either at the beach or in the country. Debate Club OFFICERS President . . Lysbeth Bower Vice President . Christian Stokstad Sec'y-Trear. . . julia Turcatti The Debate Club is composed of members of the regular debating class and lower classmen inter- ested in the subject. One of its major activities is the sponsoring of inter-class debates which are held each year. The purpose of these is to promote interest in debate. Last year's winners were: julia Tur- catti and Victor Paolini. Pins bearing the inscription, Debate Club, are worn by the members. Besides the promotion of interest in debate, the Club is active socially, sponsoring an annual party whose program consists of presentation of debate awards, a comic debate, and dancing. This year Santa Rosa won second place in the State Debating Tournament at Redlands University, losing by one point to Bakersfield, but qualifying as a representative of the State at the National meet held at Topeka, Kansas. The Debate Club also sponsors the school's membership as a chapter in the National Forensic League. Fmsr Row: Smith, Zoller, W. Heaney, Beck, Ware, Healey, Hultgren.

The girls, however, were insistent, and a club was formed for them, Mr. Elkins consentingsto become its sponsor. Twelve girls joined. Since the club was organized after the club schedule for the year was made, it could not meet at the regular club assembly hour. Thursday evening was selected as regular meeting time. At club ses- sions the mechanics of the heavens were explained and much time spent at Mr. Elkins' ten-inch telescope. A trip was made to Chabot Observatory in Oakland, and many nebulae, star-groups and double stars observed. I-li-Y Club OFFICERS Preridezzt . . ...... Albert Sloat Vire Preriafent . .

Placing second in the new enlarged league, the Babes lost only two conference games. In practice games the Panther Lightweights trounced St. james, Geyserville, Sonoma, Piedmont, and Ukiah, while they fell victims to the fast moving California 130 pound team, and also the St. Mary's High one hundred and thirties. In league games, the Or- ange and Black team lost a hard fought game to the Analy i'Babes, and also met defeat in their last game with the Petaluma Trojans. The lightweight team was noted for its excellent defense work. With Franklin Walt and Angelo Biagi at the guard positions, many defeats were turned into victories through their excellent guarding. The Babes also had a sharp shooting forward wall in Henry Valentin at center and Alvin Bonfigli and Nick Biagi at forwards.

A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association has had a very successful year. It has sponsored many activities throughout the year. Probably the most import- ant one was the Girls' Sonoma County Play Day, held at Santa Rosa on May 12. Girls from seven different high schools throughout the county participated in this event. One of the outside activities of the G. A. A. was the selling of candy at all of the football and basketball games held at Santa Rosa High. The awarding of four sweaters to outstanding girl athletes in the school, shows that the G. A. A. has furthered the interests of many girls in sports, and has made the competition for these high awards more keen. FALL SEMESTER OFFICERS Madeline Guaspari . Preridefzt . Barbara Whited . . .

It has met on Mondays and Thursdays after school. This year the Tumblette Club and Tumbling Club united, thus making a membership of about twenty-five. This enabled the girls to advance fast- er with their activities and more girls have learned to do the difficult feats than formerly. The Club has also maintained one club day a week to in- struct beginners. The Tumbling Club has always been eager to take part in school pro- grams. The girls feel they accomplish more when they have a definite program on which they are working. This year the outstanding program was put on Echo Stunt Night.. Nineteen girls participated in the stunt. Lois Topaz put on the feature stunt in the act. All the girls received very high Commendation for their ability. Dorothy Tough deserves honorable mention for capably managing the club practices. Her enthusiasm and interest has meant a great deal to the club. Miss McCanse as club adviser has helped the girls work out their difficulties, and perfect their stunts. This club can foresee a bright future because the girls enjoy tumbling and there are also many who are interested in learning to tumble. il FALL SEMESTER OFFICERS SPRING SEMESTER Gladys Ketterlin .

Archery assists one in gaining posture, accuracy of vision and body movements, fair play and fun. During the past year, a constitution has been drawn up. The club has purchased new equipment which any member is entitled to use. Besides the monthly club period, the girls meet every Monday during seventh period to practice shooting. Mr. Wood of Santa Rosa has instructed the girls in the art of shooting with a bow and ZIIIOW. In May, Mr. MacQuarrie, a member of the Greenwood Archery Club of Oakland, gave a demonstration of the correct method of shooting. This was enjoyed by all those interested in Archery. The club usually had concessions at school affairs and plans to enjoy many other ac- tivities in the future. During the past two semesters The Archery Club has changed faculty advisors. The club wishes at this time to express its utmost appreciation to Miss Florence Tangney, who has so kindly devoted her time, interest and efforts to the Archery Club since its organization. At the same time the club welcomes Miss Thais Hancock, the new sponsor, who was chos- en at the request of Miss Tangney. Miss Hancock is the new Physical Education teacher, and is assured sincere cooperation from all members. Girls' Athletic Awards G. Ketterlin 12B R. Walsh 12B R. Bailey 12B S. Kai, Feb. D.

Girls' Athletics Miss Last September the girls returned to school eagerly anticipating the attainment of the awards for which they were working. Because of this, competition and results were much keener. In minor events, R. Walsh scored nine out of ten trials in basketball free throws, and S. Kai scored perfect in baseball throw for strikes. Four hundred and twenty games of horseshoes and one hundred and eighty-two tennis games were played in the fall tournaments. D Thirteen games of hockey were played with the girls displaying good form and fine team work. In addition to our pre- vious program, a posture con- test was held. Phoebe Barnes won the contest and Dorothy Downs was given honorable mention. Great interest was manifested in the swimming meet and the golf tournament. Not only is the girls' Phys- ical Education increasing its activities and the number of girls taking part, but also the teaching force has been en- larged by the addition of Miss Hancock FIRST AXVAR D Fmsr Row: Brooks, Vinrcnl.

As usual, the classes had opportunities to work in the Christmas Entertainment, Echo Stunt Nite, Education Night, Girls' League and Mother's Day programs. They danced for the Federated Womens Clubs when they convened here for their district convention.

Miss 'I'imN12n, Director The Russian River In the rippling torrents of cascading Water there is a hypnotic power -that lulls one into a dreamy state. The sil- very slivers of speed, the fish, dash up and down, joyfully frolicking in the crystal-clear water. Willows hang over the edge of deep pools, while lazy turtles sun themselves on the snags and roots of willows. On the pleasant beaches one can see small sand-pipers, whose shrill calls are sharp and sudden, hopping about in search of food. On the shores of the river every variety of beach-clothing, in every hue and combination, worn on the bodies of old and young alike, lends a touch of gaiety to the peaceful scene. The Russian River!

Sonoma County Landmarks OLD MISSION AT SONOMA The Mission at Sonoma, which was built in 1823, was originally named the Mission San Francisco Solano de So- noma. Though the first building was of wood, an adobe structure took its place in 1827. The Mission has now been restored, after many years of neglect. and many relics of pioneer days may be seen there. It is the most northerly of California Missions and one of the most interesting and historically important spots in Sonoma County. RUTH KISTLER GENERAL VALLEjO'S HOUSE The old house was the center of Spanish hospitality. All the guests who came to Sonoma spent some time in its spacious rooms and grounds or, in the winter, before its marble fireplaces. The family was so large and visitors so numerous that the house and the Swiss Chalet, brought around the Horn in 1850, were lavishly maintained. LOIS CHURCHMAN THE BEAR FLAG MONUMENT On a june morning in 1846 a group of Californians gathered at Sonoma to raise the flag which was to proclaim the birth of the California Republic. The monument that is a memorial to this event stands in a corner of the Sonoma plaza on the spot where the Bear Flag was raised. LOIS CHURCHMAN THE PETRIFIED FOREST Gloom, coupled with an all-pervading silence, seems to be a fitting aspect for this strange fruit of Nature's hidden arts. This forest has been described as The Cradle of the Living Dead. Perhaps, also, the unnatural posture and appearance of the petrified trees and bushes complete the impression of weirdness that makes the visitor glad to hasten back to the surrounding countryside and the natural order of life. JAIVIES DIEMER Among the great curiosities of nature in this field of the dead lies the Queen of the Forest, one of the largest petrified trees in the world. This great monarch is 80 feet long and 12 feet in diameter. Various Chambers of Commerce of the State have taken steps to have the Petrified Forest included in the pro- posed Redwood National Forest. COLGAN HOUSE Among the crumbling timbers of the old Colgan House, Santa Rosa's first hotel, fancy can, today, recall the echoes of long past balls and merry- makings. Resisting the ravages of the elements for over half a century, this proud old structure, once the gather- ing place of happy, laughing citizenry, is falling to dust among the modern structures of our twentieth century community. Perhaps not entirely for- gotten by its patrons, a few of whom still remain, the once famous hostelry still stands within a few hundred feet of the original site upon which it was erected in 1853. The interesting old structure, once called Santa Rosa House and later renamed for its builder, was erected by Edward Power Colgan. Ed- ward Colgan was the grandfather of the present Colgan who is now in busi- ness on the original property. Several years ago the old building was moved a few hundred feet to make room for the present business building. Colgan House was the scene of innumerable gala occasions and was famous for its hospitality. PAT HARRINGTON T I-I E .E C il-l O l 8 Sonoma ,Coun THE OLD ADOBE ' The famous adobe hacienda standing at the foot of Sono- ma mountain was on the 25,000 acre Petaluma Rancho of General Vallejo. The adobe farmhouse was where his vaqueros and In- dians lived, and where he ruled and entertained in the hos- pitable manner of a true Californian. The house tory. General Spanish, in a resort for the Indian on the 'Ihe Church Swiss Colony, played a large part in early California his- Vallejo entertained his guests, American and way which made the Old Adobe a famous highest officials, as well as for the humblest estate. 1 . 'V NANCY 'BARRETT ASTI COLONY C P I ' of Out Lady of Mount Carmel in the Italian Sonoma County, California, is built in the shape of a wine cask, symbolic of Asti's famous industr . The little cha el was erected duririlg the second dife- cade of the colony's existence and al- though it seats less than two hundred people it still serves the spiritual needs of the Roman Catholic colonists. Asti Colony was established in 1883 by a group of wealthy men. They built great villas on the banks of the Russian River nearby. This pleasant settlement of Swiss-Italian gentlemen has become the center of the wine industry of So- noma County. With the revival of the old wines, Asti has increased its activ- ity and its products are again making Sonoma County famous throughout the country. On the property of the colony is the largest wine vat in the world. This huge tank holds a half million gallons. Asti has long been one of the show places of the county and many internationally famous names are con- nected with visits to the little church and the great winery. PAT I-IARRINGTON FORT ROSS The old Russian fur-trading settle- ment fitst came into existence in janu- ary of 1809, when Kuskof and his men anchored in Bodega Bay, then called Port Rumiantsoff, and established tem- porary settlements. Then in 1811 Kus- kof returned to Northern California and a satisfactory situation for a fort was found north of Bodega, called by the Indians Mad-shiu-miu. The Rus- sians prepared timber for several months and soon a fortified village was completed. On September 10, 1812, the establishment was formally dedicated and named Ross, from the root of the name Russia. At the present time the chapel of Fort Ross stands with the original roof, doors and windows. For eighty-three years the tiny belfry has stood, defying heavy winter storms. The stockade is for the most part gone, and the Watch- towers are badly decayed. Many relics of those early days have been preserved and may be seen within the fort's chapel. VIRGINIA ARTHUR ty Landmarks BODEGA Bodega, Sonoma County's only seaport, was named for its discoverer, Don juan de la Bodega y Caudra who sailed into the bay in 1775. Bodega, a naval officer sent out by King Carlos III of Spain as a commander of Spanish possessions in California, was the last of the Spanish discoverers. Following Bodega in 1809, Alexander Kuskof, sent out by Resanof, the Czar's Chamberlain, landed with two hun- dred colonists and established a fishing settlement on the Bay. Kuskof returned to Russia in August that year, but came again with more settlers, this time as governor of all the Russian settlements to be established in the state. Kuskof settlement was established in Salmon Creek valley a few miles inland. The Bodega Bay villages were therefore the first Russian settlements in California.
