This ever growing group of stalwart young men who so recently left these very halls and classrooms to take up the fight for freedom are truly deserving of any honor or tribute we might confer. They are dedicating their time, their abili- ties, and their very lives so that we may continue to enjoy the privileges of a free people. Therefore, it is only fitting that we should dedicate to them this Echo of 1943, in hope that the ideals for which they are willingly fighting and dying will soon triumph. ' Foreword Throughout the ages it has been the desire of man to be able to fly, but not until recently has this desire manifested itself in any widely used forms. During the last few decades, however, man's conquest of the air has proceeded with amaz- ing speed. Today, aviation is playing an increasingly vital role in protecting and preserving the freedom of many mil- lions of people. Because of its present importance and be- cause the peacetime future promises to bring even greater advancements, we have chosen this, the field of aviation, as the theme of the 1943 Echo. In the following pages we have endeavored to carry out this t' eme and by means of pictures, drawings, and the use f' -' lillf ' ure to produce a book which is not only en- A t -, Q,w,r'vw fle.

The board sponsored the testing evaluation program and has worked diligently to establish the defense industries training program and agriculf ture classes for adults, Allowances have been made for changes in the school curriculum and several new courses have been added. The athletic program has been extended and developed to meet wartime needs. The Board of Education is a city and also a district board which meets once a month to consider and discuss maintenance of the various schools in this section. President of the Board of Education is Mr. Roe M. Barrett, who has been on the board for the past fourteen years but is serving his first year as president. Mrs. Carl R. Lehman is S6CfCI111'y and is entering her sixth year as a member of the administrative group. For fourteen years Mr. james Burke held the position now occupied by Mr. Barrett, and has worked on the board seventeen years in all. The veteran of the school directors is Mr. Archie Lockhart, who has been a member of the board for tW6l1Ey-OHS years. Mr. George Proctor completes the group of five and has rendered his serv- ices to the board for fifteen years. Many times in the last year Education Board members have visited the city schools and participated in student activities. We feel fortunate indeed to have a school board that takes an active interest in our affairs. QI- Principal T. H. Battelle ,4 0ur Principal Of the seventeen years of his teaching career, Mr. Thornton H. Battelle, our principal, has taught elev- en years at Santa Rosa High School. For nine of these years he held the position as head of the Commercial Department and for the last two years he has taken over the principal's post. Mr. Battelle has gained and kept the confidence of students and faculty. Principal Battelle graduated from the University of California in 1922. Since then he has attended Stanford and the University of Southern California, where he received his Master's Degree. He was born in California and lived in Placerville, which is in the northern part of the state, and moved to Santa Rosa in 1931. The unwritten duties of a principal were more evident in the school this year than ever before as the administrative office served the newer purpose of a guidance office to boys who have been called for duty. Those who are here, as well as those who have gone, have seen him at all basketball, football, base- ball games, and track meets. Mr. Battelle has supported the Air Raid Wzirdens, Fire Wardens, and Auxiliary Police by letting them have meetings and air raid drills during school time. He has supervised all activities and been a friend of the students in them. The days of the knight on horseback who went out to conquer dragons have long since disappeared, but today the boys and girls of this high school are in the midst of a battle comparable to that of the early day, pointed out Mr. Battelle. Instead of the dragon, American boys and girls are fighting a common foe who is a greater menace to civilization than the dragon ever was. Many of our boys are already in the service, many more will be going soon. May 1 we wish them a victorious and speedy battle and hope that they all come back to us soon. . fgsgw ' ,,..ev 'Mww-ww W Instructors Miss Aloyse Sinnott, Palo Alto, A. B.

Laurie Lindsay led the fall group as president, and Donna Rudat acted as secretary. Barney Wilen carried out the less heralded but all- important duties of vice-president. The suc- cessful completion of plans for dances, games, and other activities proved the ability of Mel Wood as Commissioner of Social Activities. Energy and a great deal of attention were given his job by Ed Noonan, Commissioner of Rallies. Bob Davis ably performed the re- quirement of his oflice as Commissioner of Assemblies. Virginia Brand and Rusty Tabor completed the fall Governing Board group as President of the Girls' League and Editor of the Santa Rosan respectively. President L. Lindsay directs a board conference as he talks to B. Davis. B. Wilen and D. Rudat look at the minutes of the last meeting. Governin i ii ll l Y February Seniors Since entering Santa Rosa High School four years ago, the graduating class of 1943 has witnessed both a peaceful and warring nation. Many of the senior boys who would have graduated have temporarily sacrificed their education to serve their country and many more entered some branch of the armed forces immediately after receiving their diplomas. Girls as well as boys are doing their part by replacing the younger men who have joined the hghting forces and also the men and women who have left their former positions to go into defense plants. A group of these girl graduates have completed courses in nursing, and some are taking special Red Cross work to help in any emergency. Although seniors have realized the importance and seriousness of our present situation, they still find time for the lighter things in life and have not forgotten their need for enjoyment and social activity. B Despite the war they have carried on their usual graduation exercises fol- lowed by the annual Senior Ball. They have participated in dances, assem- blies and dramatic presentations. This year's classes disregarded the tradition of wearing formals and dark suits for the first time in the history of Santa Rosa High School and decided to wear caps and gowns when they received their diplomas. The class of '43 shall be remembered as students who realized the sig- nificance of Democracy, did everything they could to preserve it, and at the same time completed their education. f .

Since this 1945 graduating class started its four years in high school, approximately forty students have transferred to the class, coming from the Eastern and Southern states. Many june Seniors have been active in almost every department of the school. Prominent in the affairs of the Governing Board were Laurie Lind- say, Bob Davis, Donna Rudat, Virginia Brand, and jack Ryersen. On the Boys' League Cabinet were Bob Davis and Mel Vifood. Taking care of the Girls' League of our school were Ruth Opper, Pat Phillips, Mar- garet Staples, Margaret Hoskins and Virginia Brand. Those who won the honor of belonging to the California Scholarship Federation were Virginia Brand, Irene Eisenegger, Marion Ridenhour, Vivian Sorenson, and Rusty Tabor. When this class graduates, the Ag Department will suffer a loss of many of its finest members. Some of them being Claude Dye, Mel Vffood, Ken Reiman, and Earl Sandstrom. These boys have been on judging teams and have done excellent work in the field of agriculture. Three of the outstanding members in girls' athletics were jane Degner, Nadine Ives, and Mary jean Ross. Mary jean was the president of the G. A. A. and Jane was the president of the Block SR. Prominent in the boys ath- letics during their high school days were Paul Henderson, jerry Miller, Al Pierre, Roy Grimm, Mel Wood, and Jim Curfman. A vote of thanks from the whole school goes to Larry Hebert. In all operettas, Christmas plays, assemblies or any other program, Larry was there to help set the stage, and regulate the lights to give the proper effect at all times. Although not as large as other classes that have graduated, this 1945 class has made a name for itself that will not be forgotten by the Santa Rosa High School. I NAOMI l5Rl'CKliRV Operetta. G.A,A..

Soon after this the junior sweaters arrived, and the proud juniors paraded their colors down each hall and ramp with that typical upperclass air ahout them. ln sports the juniors excelled, having most of the leading athletes in the school in their roster. Many Juniors were outstanding in Scholarship, Drama, journalism and Music.

K F , w.p,.W ff ww Flight MG ng, Editor jack Ryersen The Santa Rosan needs little explanation for those who have looked forward to each edition during the past year. Simply over- flowing with headline stories, dramatic write- up, sports reviews, pictures, and-Oh yes!- that not-to-be-forgotten item, the gossip column, reading matter that appealed to every literary taste. It isn't an easy assignment to dash off a story, grammatically and factually correct, that will appeal to a group of critical readers. But it is an even harder job to see that these stories are in, checked, and ready to go to press. And so, we take this opportunity to thank the editors of the Santa Rosan, for the splen- did work they have done this year in turning out an even bigger, and better school paper. To the reporters, for their persistent news- gathering, and to Mr. Sarna, adviser and friend of the staff, we extend our warmest congratulations and deepest appreciation for many hours of enjoyable reading.

However, they did see several interesting movies on fish, game, and sports, and had several guest speakers at their assemblies. Best known of these was Mr. Wzllter Mails, former baseball player, who is now a Sergeant in the Marines. Since there were many requests from the various branches of the service for the oppor- tunity to speak to boys, these meetings were substituted for several of the regular monthly meetings. 36,155 Xjoesj Q M -new afxdez YM' l P.

Ramsey, D. Higgins, j. Sawyer, Girls' jinx winners. Girls of Santa Rosa Hi really decorated the Girls' League with glory this year. First there was the Turnabout Dance, to which the gals took the fellows. Then the Jinx, an all-girl affair, to which the seniors came as infants, the juniors as young and gawky adolescents, the sophomores as blushing brides, and the freshmen came attired as old maids, complete with bustles, and hair piled high atop their heads. May 7 was the date of the annual Mother's Day Tea which was attended by approximately two hundred mothers. Following a series of tableaux which was given in the audi- torium, refreshments were served under the old oaks in back of the school. M. Staples, V. Brand, j. Deffncr, M. Miller, ll. ,l. Dashwander, l.. Burton, V. Sorenson Cperetta For the second consecutive year, the annual music performance took a new form in order to be replaced by shows of war-time significance. This year's presentation was a jeep Benefit. Act One, All Hail! Allied Flags, was a revue in songs and dances of our war allies. Every allied Hag graced the stage and in turn every nation was honored. The act closed with our own American Machine Age, interpreted in dance and followed by the dancers holding aloft the Libertv torch of Freedom while the chorus sang Let's Bring New Glory to Old Glory. The soloists, dressed in characteristic costumes were lda Aaron, Betty Hauso, Stella Maples, Joyce Rausch, Betty Revard, Dolores Titus and Pat Young. The members of the Girls' Glee and Dancing Girls furnished all the ensemble numbers. The second act, Cleopatra, was an Opera Burlesque with apologies to the old masters of music. The entire cast were members of the Boys' Glee who enjoyed the fun and diversion of the play as much as the audience. Noteworthy in the cast were Fritz Art playing the title role, George Magee, Moe Mulkey, Mardale Harrell, and Harold Thompson. , i im . Young, -I. Rausch B. Revard, ID. Titus S. Maples, ll.

The show must go on, and on it went, The best variety show Santa Rosa High School ever had, without its director and originator, Mr. Guy- mon, who left a day before we all saw the finished product, Bob Davis, as master of ceremonies, did a magnificent job, and often made us forget that this was a high school production. Ed Farrell in his in- terpretation of the soldier, and Everett Shapiro's Hitler, Mussolini, and Hiro-Hito were a riot. Music was presented by Barney Wilen and his or- chestra, which this time featured two soloists: Dolores Titus, and Bob Town- send. The highlight in music was Barney Wilen playing his favorite piece, This Is the Story of a Starry Night, and Glenn Lewis' playing of The Rhapsody in Blue. adfs -.

From the sinister role of a mad- man to the morbid characterization of the eight corpses, in- dividual roles were carried out to perfection. Crazy aunts, innocent old men, elderberry wine, insane brothers, the Panama Canal, and tender love scenes were all blended into one of the IUUSI successful renditions of a cur- rent Broadway hit, ever staged by a high school class. This play was under the able direction of Mrs. Mary llboldi, who replaced former dramatic coach, Mr. Glen Guymon. A versa- tile actress herself, she has won the admiration and respect of all those who have had the privilege of working with her. Special praise goes to Ruth Elmendorf and Charles Met- ten who assisted in student direction, and a large vote of thanks to those who worked so tirelessly behind the scenes to make the play such a hit.

Bob Karr was chairman of the committee. During the year Lester Belden, Marvin Soiland, and Chester Stone applied for their State Farmer degrees. 3 Ofhcers for the fall semester were: Charles Bel- den, president, Clyde Lundy, vice-president, Lester Belden, secretary, Marvin Soiland, reporter, and Chester Stone, treasurer.

Total war dominates the Future Farmers outlook for 19-13. All production, farm and non-farm, must help win victory. Problems of farm labor, transporta- tion, storage, processing capacity and facilities, build- ing materials, farm machinery and production sup- plies have been emphasized. Military and Lend-Lease needs bulk large in the demand outlook and dominate future exports. Gov- ernmental programs for manpower, conservation, ra- tioning, and economic stabilization have a major in- fluence upon many of the problems of farmers in 1943. Ninety-nine members of the chapter produced through their vocational agricultural projects over: 20,000 pounds of butter, 26359 pounds of pork, 14,- 292 pounds of beef, 13,644 pounds of lamb, 8,892 pounds of poultry meat, 31,150 dozen eggs, 30lQ tons of fruit, 95 tons of grain. The net income from projects was S5l9,7l9.2l or an average of approximately two hundred dollars per boy. Faculty directors were Mr. Wes Jamison, head, Mr. M. K. Luther, and Mr. Harold Stoker.

Over 518,000 of this amount was bought by s t u d e n ts them- selves. The M i n u t e - Man Flag showed that 90 per cent or more of the pupils enrolled in school had bought stamps regularly. Through the collection of scrap, records, fur, books, coat hangers, magazines, junk-jew- elry, and joke-books and stor- ies for the Red Cross, approx- imately 3Zs1,000 was raised for the jeep Fund. The students of the Santa Rosa High School are proud to have contributed, in a small way, to a speedier and surer victory.

The main purpose of both groups is to help the students fight the war on the home front. The Victory Corps, which has enlisted almost every stu- dent in the school, tries to help students choose the right type of studies to follow for war purposes and for the peace to come. There are six general divisions each of which is headed by a student and a teacher.

Helping the war effort wherever possible, was the theme of the Red Cross group this year. Getting off to a fine start last fall, members collected quite a bit of tinfoil, made approximately 50 Joke Books, and bound stories for the sick in army and navy hospitals. They then packed 200 Christmas boxes for sick boys at Mare Island, and held their annual roll call at school. In the spring, after helping very successfully with all the drives, they started collecting junk jewelry and making 100 bedside bags for our soldiers in hospitals in which to keep their valuables. The officers for the year were Bud Bean, president, Edna Snell, vice-president, and Katherine Pota- poff, secretary. Wrapping Xmas boxes for the Junior Red Cross, which is part of their year's activities, are Beverly Zachow and Ellen Brucker. Witlu fall semester president, Irene Eisenegger, and spring semester president, Ruth Opper at the helm, the Ra Ravas was unusually active with school activities, Red Cross work, and club activities. On March 27 the Ra Ravas group played hostess at the annual convention with Sonoma and San Rafael at a conclave held here in the school cafeteria. Mem- bers of the Ra Ravas also helped the Girls' League Put on the annual Turnabout Dance, and with the girls doing the honors, it was a great success. In the first week of February a book drive for the Armed Services was staged under the direction of Raye O'Boyle. 1,600 acceptable books were collected and delivered to the library, and from there to the boys all over the world. During the bond drive in April, girls solicited pledges in downtown stores, greatly contributing to the goal set for Santa Rosa. Also helping the Jeep Fund by selling the Jeep tags for ten cents each, the Ra Ravas has upheld its name as an outstanding Service Club.

Even though the OfFlCl21l North Bay League was eliminated because of war conditions and transportation difliculties, most teams had a full schedule, meeting almost all of their regular competitors anyway. Directed by Coaches Underhill, Fortier, Rothert, Rankin, and Duey the various squads roared through the season winning and losing alike, but always bringing glory to the Orange and Black. The varsity track team was fortunate in having an official league. They had four meets before the finals, two with Analy and one each with Vallejo and Tamalpais, and won all but one with Analy. Wlieii the finals came they fought hard, but were edged out by Tamalpais to take second. Then sending a six-man squad to the North Coast Section meet they took seventh place in competition with approximately thirty schools. As C class track was eliminated this year, the B's were made up of both squads. They met all the schools the varsity competed with, and went on to take second in the finals. Winning the mythical N.B.L. championship, the varsity baseball team ITICE and defeated Tamalpais, Vallejo, St. Helena, Calistoga, Napa, and lost one game to Napa. The fellows showed just as much fight and spirit all year as if there had been an official league. Minor sports, tennis and golf, were both well on their way to the title as this book went to press, but complete coverage was impossible. The tennis team had defeated every opponent at least once in dual competition and was favored in the conference. The golf squad was undefeated and expected to remain so. Varsity Football Coach jim Underhill's Orange and Black varsity gridders didnt do so well this year, but it was through no fault of theirs. Witlu practically all re- turning veterans either in the service, or lost through graduation, the Panth- ers had to start from scratch and build a team with inexperienced men who had seen very little action in the previous season. They went into battle against tried and powerful teams, and although they gained only one vic- tory, showed a true fighting spirit in every contest, giving their opponents some mighty close calls. The season opened when the locals met the Sacramento Dragons, on Nevers Field, October 10. It was the Dragons second game of the year and turned out to be their second victory for they won I5 to 0. Next, Santa Rosa took on the Wfoodland team, and lost, 7 to 6. It was a rough game in which the Panthers showed a great deal of improvement. On October 24, handicapped by a large injured list, they went down he- fore Tamalpais, 6 to O. The game was nip and tuck, far into the fourth quarter, with hoth teams turning in a fine brand of ball, when, with just three minutes to go, an Indian tackle intercepted a Panther pass and dashed 57 yards for the score. LE ml F? Q. I sr 3' -gr!-mf. L I as t F ightlng The Panther varsity this year was com- posed almost entirely of green and untried players. Although these players gained only one victory, after a few games they began to turn in a brand of football which would be a credit to any team. Santa Rosa's backfield presented quite ll problem to Coach Underhill and was changed a number of times before the final combin- ation was secured. Filling the key position at left-half was fiery Walt Wfilson, one of the few returning veterans and spark-plug of the squad. Walt was a terrific passer and was all ways a threat to the opposition when on the run. At the end of the season he was elected captain by his teammates, Leo St. Jacques held down the berth at right-half, and chalked up some long gains when yardage was badly needed. Hard driv- ing and quick kicking is the term which can be applied to fullback Louie Bianchini. Louie's punts could always be counted upon to pull the locals out of a hole or put the opponents in one, and whenever quick gains were vitally needed, it was he who was called upon to hit hard for those precious yards. The quarterback spot was held alternately by Starting., lineup Backfield W Myers B. Melby, P. Grogan, W. Landis. Line: E. Bauer, G. Thornton, E. Noonan, R. Malloch, R Junior Varsity Football This year's 'midget-men of the gridiron' found themselves midway in the season before they could YHLISICI' an opponent of any type, size, or kind. Finally the Petaluma B's consented to battle the 'Little Panthers' as a pre- liminary to the varsity 'Big' game on Armistice Day, and the B's won their one and only game. Playing through two and a half quarters of nip-and-tuck football with- out either side scoring, Coach Duey's men finally came through late in the third quarter to counter the lone touchdown of the game. This deciding touchdown was made by a pass from Clyde Lundy to jim Moore over the goal line. In the attempt for point, the boys failed leaving the score 6-O. In the starting backfield positions were: Pat Grogan, fullbackg Wilbilr Myers, and Wallace Landis, halfbacks, and Bill Melby was quarterback. In the line were: Ronny Leri and Earl Bauer at ends, Bill Schank and Gordon Thornton, tackles, Ed Noonan and Ross Gowans, guards, and Ray Malloch at the center position. Coached by Fred Duey, the boys practiced faithfully while waiting for the scheduling of their first game. Even without any competitive contests they gained valuable experience as well as having the fun of participating in sports. Top row: B. Berka, managerg V. Lindstrom, G. Thornton, M. Smith, R.

Varsity Basketball Although they were handicapped by transportation difficulties and ll limited schedule, Coach O. W. Fortier's Orange and Black varsity hard- wooders came through the '42-'43 basketball season with an enviable record. They played twenty-two games, and won fifteen of them. Of this number seven were inter-school games, five of which were victories. The varsity opened the season with a series of practice games. They met a Fighter Squadron from Hamilton Field, and downed them 50 to 20. The Basalt Shiphtters also went down before them, 41 to 28. Three games with a local army team also turned into victories. They won 35 to 19, 49 to 20, and 59 to 21. Then they downed a team from Hamilton Field, 41 to 26. A series of three games with the Santa Rosa junior College brought the Panthers their first defeats of the year. Although the high school put up a game fight, the college was a bit too strong and won 41 to 39, 36 to 28, and 25 to 21. On December 30, the locals journeyed to San Francisco to take on Gali- leo High School. With the first three periods practically nip and tuck, the l l Coach Fortier gives a iew pointers to Cap- tain Al Pierre A Successful Season This year's Panther five was composed mostly of veterans from last year's varsity and lightweight teams. At first they took on a number of local serv- ice teams and shipyard outfits, and walked all over them, but when they started their inter-school series they lost their first two games. Then, how- ever, the fellows started playing together and worked through the rest of the season with only two losses. One of the forward spots was held down by Ray Moe Maffei. He was a consistent player both on offense and defense, and was the top scorer of the year. The year before he won the All-American Blanket Award, as most val- uable man on the team. The other forward position was held alternately by Herb Bartow, and Clarence Sam Bass. Both of these fellows were in there fighting every moment and were among the four highest scorers. The center berth was held down by tall Ted Taron. Ted was awarded the All-American Blanket Award by his teammates, and was second highest scorer on the team. Al Pierre held down one guard spot, and was elected team captain at the season's end. Bill Rogers alternated in the other guard position with Lamarr Haas. Others showing up well were forwards, Dick Azevedo, and Laurie Lind- say, centers, Vern Lindstrom and Larry Fitzpatrick, and guards, johnny Groth, jim Curfman, Bill Cunningham, and Dick Billigmeir. The Varsity squad has many representatives in the service now. Jim Schiefelbein joined the navy at midseason, Ted Taron and Ray Maffei are in the army, Laurie Lindsay is in the marine reserve, Al Pierre is in the army air corps, and jim Curfman is in the naval air corps. Iamarr Haas Al Pierre johnny Groth Dick Azevetlo WWS: ' Winning Men Meeting San Rafael, here, on january 22, the little Panthers were defeated 24 to 25 hy a strong Bulldog five. Then in a return game with Analy at Sebastopol, on january 29, they came hack to win 23 to 18. Next they journeyed to Tamalpais, only to be downed again, this time hy the close score of 29 to 28. They also won two practice games, from the C. Commandos and I-lamilton Field. The forward positions were well talien care of by scrappy Calvin Rusty Tahor, and little jack O'Sullivan, who came up from the Cs , Both were good all-round men and were in there fighting every moment. Tahor was elected captain at the end of the season. The center herth was nlled hy Jack Ryersen, high scorer for the year and perhaps the most outstanding man on the squad, Ray Haus- lcneckt and Bill Melhy were the pair who held down the guard spots. Both were consistent scorers, and defensive men. Some others who did well were forwards Kurt Clark, Norm Canevari, and Al Tromhetta, center Neil Tocher, and guards Norman Chavez, Roland Hayes, and Ralph Reine. at Varsity Track Although not claiming to be the best of teams, the Panther varsity this year boasted a well rounded out squad which was good enough to take on almost any of the neighboring schools. Missing the North Bay League cham- pionship by a hair, the team was still good enough to send six men to the North Coast Meet at Stanford. Perhaps the most outstanding man on the team, big Mel Wood led the field in scoring all year. Excelling in the shot and discus he could almost al- ways be counted on for either a first or second in both events. Mel had a bit of tough luck in the N.B.L. finals where he fouled out in the discus, and had to be content with a first in the shot. However, he made up for it in the North Coast by taking second in the shot and fourth in the discus, while meeting much stronger competition. Tommy Tucker also was a high scorer and outstanding man. Competing in both the low and high hurdles, the 440, the 20 and relay at various times during the year, he topped this off with a beautiful win in the 440 at the finals. Coming from about fifth position he fought his way to the lead and won by a good distance. Al Pierre passes the baton to Lamarr Haas in the 880 yard relay. Top row: P. Cunningham, Mgr. T. Chavez, J.

Speedy little Bobby Karr, up from last year's B's, gave a good ac- count of himself in the 100 yard dash and the hurdles. Don Mallory ran the 100, the 220, and was on the relay team. The 880 yard run was handled by Bob Davis and Bill Riehl. Both were always in there, fighting for places, and Davis came through with a second in the N.B.L. finals and fourth at North Coast. Wayiie Bessire, a freshman, did well in the 4-40. The 880 yard relay team, which took fourth in the N.B.C. meet but did not compete at Stanford, was composed of La- marr Haas, Bill Rogers, Al Pierre, and Don Mallory, with Earl Bauer as alternate. The field events were a strong point in the Panther at- tack. Especially in the weights division where Wood and Dick Billigmeir raked in the badly needed points. Vlfood took second in the shot and fourth in the discus at North Coast. The lone entry in the pole vault was Eugene Melville, who tied for first in the finals. Bill Rogers got a second in the broad jump, and Lamarr Haas got a third in the high jump in the same meet. There were only two milers on the squad. They were Frank Johnson and Claude Dye. Veteran Johnson turned in some mighty fine performances, and took third in the finals. Karr can't quite get the tape-close! W? , , H. Comstock J. Brand N. Chavez B, C Track With three meets previously participated in the Panther lightweight track team entered the annual North Bay finals held on Nevers Field, as one of the favored teams. Wlmen the final tabulation of points were tallied the score read Tamal- pais 40 -5 and Santa Rosa next with 30. Although the boys failed to cop the title they nevertheless showed up well as they started the season with a green team and as the season progressed, turned into a near championship team. Those who won first places for Santa Rosa were Ed Noonan who broadjumped 18 feet SM inches and Norman Chavez who tossed the shot- put 48 feet 42, inches. Both boys are only juniors and should be two of next year's track stars. Coming in second in the N.B.L. meet were Bunny Com- stock in the 440 yard dash and Ed Noonan in the shotput while jack Brand copped a third in the 880 yard dash. As the usual class Cee division was disbanded this year due to the war, the boys who went out for the class were allowed to compete in the B division. Meeting Analy twice, the Bees lost the first contest on the Tigers' field but turned the trick in the return contest staged on Nevers Field. Show- up well for the Panthers in both of these contests was Norm Chavez, Ed Noonan, Bunny Comstock, and jack Brand, Besides these two meets the Panthers met and defeated the Vallejo Apaches on the Vallejo field. The result of this meet favored Santa Rosa as Coach Rothert's cindermen pounded out a decisive 50M to 355 triumph. Showing up well in this contest were Pat Grogan and Fred Coldwell, hurd- lers, who finished first and second. 4 L. Hayes W. Reine P. Grogan Noonan s .4 xg, . I If xl ff af r If lf?

Tough luck came right their way in this contest as first baseman jim Curfman's home run failed to count because he did not touch third base and the Napans won 4 to 3. The next contests found the varsity splitting into two teams to play a double header with St. Helena and against Calistoga on the home diamonds of each of the opposing schools. Expecting a tough contest at Calistoga, the game proved quite the contrary. Unleashing a seventeen-hit barrage off the opposing pitchers, the Panthers slaughtered their opponents 22 to 2. Mean- while at St. Helena, the other team was also playing in line style, hitting out base hits for six runs, while their rivals got four hits for one marker. Tamalpais was the next team to go down before the locals, also on their own diamond. Pitcher Herb Bartow tossed a brilliant 2 to 0 win over the Indians, allowing only one hit during the entire game. The Santa Rosans gathered five single base hits in the tilt. Putting themselves out in front in the title race, the Panthers took on Vallejo and swatted the Apaches right off the field, beating them 5 to 2 on the C. field. Next the Orange and Black nine avenged the defeat at the hands of Napa by beating the Indians, 5 to 0, in a return game on the C. diamond. The Napans gathered six hits to the Santa Rosans five, but the Santa Rosa helders took care of them all and allowed no runs. Their last game of the season was a replay with Vallejo, on the Vallejo diamond. In a free hitting contest the Panthers dropped the finale, 13-9.

On Their Toes As in the past, the Dancing Department has again done its share toward the enjoy- ment of the student body and the furthering of the schooI's war effort under the direction of Miss Mildred H. Turner. Through its combined efforts it was pos- sible for the group to contribute a good per- centage of the money raised by the entire school for the jeep Fund. The classes spons- ored candy and food sales and donated pro- ceeds to this fund. An idea which was highly commended by many people was an interpretation of the re- ligious spirit as the theme of the Christmas Play. The dances of our allies were represented in the operetta which was held this spring. Profits from a one night run were also turned over to the jeep Fund. In turning the profits from the Operetta over to the Jeep Fund, the Dancing Girls had the honor of not only being the first contribu- tor to the jeep Fund, but also the last, as the Operetta money put the fund over the top.
