The setting is anywhere on the school lot or wherever his outside hours take the student. Although all are not leading stars, it took every performer to make this production possible. We hope this movie in five reels will leave you with many enjoyable laughs and memories. And in the years to come when looking at this movie, it should take you back to the days when you were in the bright lights and engrossed in obtaining knowledge so that in the future you could be a star in your particular field. As the movie industry will progress with the times, so will all the players in this great panorama, and it is here on this lot that they got their start. We know you are anxious to preview this all-star production. Lights out! The show begins! at 791 RA2 IQ X3 .14 I PucTU12E.5 2:1 XL . 2 A ,in ' fd VL' K x i qk' 'A' A AV: -K yi ' 1? N X?

It's here in these various classes that we learn not only the essential bits of knowledge that we should possess for our future life but also ways and means of developing our personalities and habits, which will be useful in the social contacts of our everyday life. In the foreground we see Art Director Lloyd Wasmuth directing his Costume Designers who help decorate for all activities presented on the Santa Rosa High School lot, Mrs. Clara Waters, formerly head of the Art Department, retired from the set last February. Now we come to the Goldwyn of our educational production, Principal T. H, Battelleg also shown are Mrs, Garcia, the Office Clerk, and her girls. Mrs. L. B. Yost, Secretary to Mr. Battelle, was camera-shy when this was taken and does not appear in the picture. Here in the Main Oihce our actors and actresses have their fates and destinies decided. Running oi? the scripts for the day are Betty King and julia Bayer, members of the office crew. The scene is Mr. Evart's office where the records and box office returns of the different organizations are kept. Mr. Rhodes Trussell, head of the Con- tract and Screen Test departments, lends an ear to devilish Martha Comstock and Pete Petersen who put on their very best act. It appears their performance was a success, as they have received a white con- tract enabling them to get on the set. At Work Now we present the Academy Award Winner of the Stockton State Contest, the Hitchcock of Santa Rosa, Mr. Glen G, Guymon, and his cast. The Dramatics Department can always be counted on to turn in a splendid performance, whether it be comedy or drama. In the star we find the director giving the performers a few tips on their technique. Here students learn teamwork, how to take constructive criticism, and how to develop personality and a very important factor called poise. In the eyes of the students and townspeople each performance deserves an Oscar. The next group we visit on the User is the typing class, where a student is taught to become a reliable member of an orlice crew, either as a secretary or typist. Directing this group, but not pictured, is Miss Locke. Many students start on their business careers here. The wonders of Danny Kaye in Wonder Man were nothing com- pared with the wonders of the cooking class, for they even eat their own cooking. This is illustrated as the girls settle down to enjoy their orange juice and toast. They may not grow up to be actors, but after all actors need wives, and the studio commissaryn needs good cooks. Directing this group of chefs was Miss Greer, Foods Instructor. The stars of many of today's smash Broadway musical hits received their start in just such a group as this mixed voice class. It is here our actors learn the funda- mentals of being good songbirds, whether doing a solo or working in a chorus line. Miss Helen Cochrane, one of the Directors of the Music Department, has done a fine job in turning out the music score for many all-year-round musicals. Our cameraman took a husman's holiday and snapped these scenes around the lor.

Wood Producers Qur producers are in touch with every department on the lot and they finance the equipment each department needs to carry on its work successfully. Mr. Lloyd K. Wood, City Superintendent of Schools, and the members of the Board of Education are our producers, for it is through their efforts that we receive our school materials and the efficient policy of management of the school. D I For the past hve years Mr. Wood has served as Superintendent and before this as principal of Santa Rosa High School. During this time the educational standard of this school has been greatly advanced through his unceasing efforts. U President of the Board of Education is Mr. George A. Proctor, a member for eighteen years. Mrs. Carl Lehman, the only woman on the Board, records the minutes. Other members are Mr. james Burke, Mr. Archie Lockhart, and Mr. Harold D. Bostock. Y , ,,. ,.-,.,.. 1 Seated around the table left to right are: Mr. J. J. Burke, Mrs. Carl Lehman, Mr. G. A. Proctor, Mr. A. Lockhart, and Mr. Harold D. Bostock. 18 Mr. T. H. Battelle Directors Santa Rosa High School offers to each student the opportunity to develop his talent to the highest degree. To those who plan to enter college we offer a preparatory course that will prepare them to enter any American college or university. To the great group of students who do not plan to go to college we offer exploratory courses in the fields of agriculture, business, home economics, mechanics, and woodwork. It is our hope that in the four years spent in this school you may lay the foundation for a pleasant and fruitful life. If we have accomplished this, we will not feel our work has been in vain. -T. H. BATTELLE, Principal. All the productions for the school year of 1945-1946 were under the direction of Santa Rosa High School's business office. Mr. T. H. Battelle olhciated as Principal. He was assisted by Mr. john Cleary, Vice-Principal, Miss Shirley Thurman, Dean of Girls, Mr. Rhodes Trussell, Dean of Boys and Attendance Officer, Mrs. Letitia Yost and Mrs. Inez Garcia, school secretaries.

Hunter is in charge of the General and Electrical Shops. Mr, R. Norris takes care of the Auto Shop and Trade Shop. The Woodwork Depart- ment is directed by Mr. W. C. Larkin. HISTORY, LANGUAGE, and ART The History and Language Departments keep busy checking that all facts in the scripts are historically correct and that all dialects are quite authentic.

SCIENCE and MATHEMATICS The movies would be lost without the fields of Science and Mathematics and vice- versa. After all what would we do today if Don Ameche hadn't invented the telephone and if Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon hadn't discovered radium? Top Row: Mr. R. Carlton, Mr. C. Elmore, Mr. S. Hawkins, Mr. E. Wood. Bottom Row: Miss M. Stayton, Miss D. Patchert, Mrs. B. Klinkner, Miss F. Tangney, and Miss I.

The final production is a success because of the combined efforts of all these assistant di- rectors. 1 Q' I In the Fall of 1945 jane Sawyer had the honor of being the first girl president in 17 years. Directing Student Body card sales and a War Bond drive was Geraldine Malfei as Vice-President. Joyce Nelson filled the ofiice of Secretary to record the minutes. The Di- rector of Assemblies position was well taken care of by Pete Slusser who brought us class competition and exchange assemblies. Lee Abramson directed all rallies. Plans for social activities were handled by Darlene Rhoades. Mr. Cleary was adviser of this group. T T S.

Academy Awards for successful produc- tions go to Pete Slusser, Vice-President, for noon movies and noon dancesg to Beverly Dashwander, Commissioner of Social Activi- ties, for Happy Holiday, Skating Party, and numerous dancesg to Commissioner of Ral- lies Dave Ramsey and Commissioner of As- semblies Bob Browning for keeping up school spirit and a combined Rally and As- sembly program. The position of Yell Leader is given for a full year, but Evelyn Petie Petersen deserves a special award for serving for two years. With the help of her two assistants, june Fox and Anne Said, Petie really did a splendid job. 23 ,I - V 1' ' x 3 gl 4, 41W I xl 4' E FW ,f xb I X , X 1 'WM 171229 'ff fwx lily' 5 4 K pix'-A bp l w llllfff N SN?

After three and one half years of high school in war time, its members came back in September to conclude the last half of their high school education in peacetime. Many of the boys were inducted into the service before graduation. Because of the small size of the class many senior activities were impossible of accomplishment. Although it was small, only 40 students taking part in the grad- uation exercises, the class had its outstanding students. In the limelight from the Music Department were Bob Reinking and Bruce Bondelie, who had leads in the annual operetta. In the field of sports, Earl Kimmel was outstanding at tennis and Bob Reinking in varsity basket- ball. Eleanor Bauer was president of Girls' Block S. R. Members of the Santa Rosan staff included Bruce Bondelie, Sports Editorg Fred Lane, Co-Feature Editorg and Dick Cullen, News Editor. Graduation took place on january 31, with the graduates wearing the traditional navy blue caps and gowns. Valedictorians for the class were Ruth Ann Taylor, who spoke on Youth in the Atomic Age, and Peggy Canby, who spoke on Conservation of Our Redwoods.

Instead of looking forward to winning a war, these students must plan to do their part in insuring the peace. Many of these boys will still be inducted into the ser- vice, in fact, a good number have gone in during the past year. The class has done its part this year by contributing to the Cancer Drive, the Red Cross, and such other worthy causes. President of the class was Gene Pisenti who did an excellent job taking charge of Senior meet- ings and directing class activities. A fine job was also done by Secretary Betty Morris keeping notes at meetings. Stan Jensen was Vice-Prexy and Dot Parker Treasurer. Outstanding in the field of leadership were Jane Sawyer, Fall student body president, and Bill Geary, Spring student body president. Jane was the first girl president in S.R.H.S. in 14 years. Other members of the governing board were Evelyn Pet- ersen, Yell Leader, Bob Browning, Commissioner of Assemblies, and Doug Bundock, Editor of the Santa Rosan. Those who served on the Fall governing board were Gerry Maifei, Vice-President, Joyce Nelson, Secretary, and Evelyn Petersen, Editor of the Santa Rosan. In the sports spotlight from this graduating class we have Stan Jensen who won the Blanket Award for basketball, and Gene Pisenti and Nate Cacianti, All-Star Sweater wearers. Outstanding in varsity sports were: John Clark, basketball, Nate Cacianti, Gene Pisenti, Bill Mitchell, Bill Soderquist, Jim Fleck, Walt Guanella, Bill Geary, and Jim Rackerby, football, Bob Murray, Ervie Cantwell, Don Brittingham, track, and Wes Colgan, baseball. In the feminine department Jean Story was president of G.A.A,, and Gloria Buffi won the G.A.A. Plaque. Ed Walther took first place in the State Forensic Contest for Humorous Reading.

Wychoff Charles Yolo CAROL YOPP Ra Ravas Art Girls' League Acknowledgment of the 1946 Echo Do you like the 1946 Echo? The Staff hopes it has produced this script of school scenes to your satisfaction, because your pledges made the book possible. Working on the set for months, the Staff never ceased its duties until the production was completed. But we would not have achieved our goal fworking under the twin handicaps of a shortage of time and materialsj without the guidance of our ad- viser, Mr. Wilson Sanchez, who put forth much outside time and effort. To him we present the title of the outstanding Director of the year. The mechanical job of setting up the lines and shots was handled by the men at the Press-Democrat, headed by Mr. Grant Kellogg, Mechanical Superintendentg Mr. L. W. Stuart, Pressman, Mr. Verle Brown, Mr. E. L. Keenan, Mr. Ed Michelson, of the composing room, and Mr. W. H. Kelly, the binder. To them we appreciatively present an Oscar for their patience and fortitude. To our cameramen-Mr. Ted Nelson, Mr. Roger Petersen, Mr. jay Christensen, and Mr. Claire Elmore-we offer a vote of thanks. Also special mention should be made of the excellent job done by our make-up men-Mr. Robert Butler, the engraver, and Mr. Silvius, the cover maker. As we turn the finished product over to you, a hnal word-we've appreciated your co-operation. Mr. Sanchez thanks you, the Staff thanks you, and l thank you.

The Harv y Girls Christmas ' 99 Holiday The Annual Christmas Program played to two packed houses this year. Over 250 students parti- cipated in the evenings' entertainment which was filled with variety. Inspira- tional choral and orches- tral numbers and gay as well as interpretative dances provided the talent for the six divisions of the program which interpreted Christmas in relation to Music, Christ, Santa Claus, Snow Time, Homes, and One World. This year we were all rejoicing inour first Christmas since World War II. This thought was most aptly expressed by o u r Superintendent 0 f Schools in his greeting on the program when he said, Christmas is a symbol of all good things of life, both spiritual and mater- ial. We give you tonight's program in the hope that it will contribute to the completeness of your joy in this peaceful Christmas season of 1945. 73 A Song to Remember Many lovely melodies were heard by the capacity audience at the Song and Dance Recital April 11, in our auditor- ium-and many were the songs to be remembered by individuals who enjoyed the evening. i'Summertime, always a favorite, was well sung by the Girls' Glee with Joanne Cutter as soloist. Where'er You Walk, one of the classics by Handel, received much praise when sung by the Boys' Glee, and all the songs by the Philomel Choir received wholehearted compliments. Don Maccario, Bob Browning, Jerry Hodges, Bill Sawyer, Nora Seminoff, Lorraine Tuttle and Bobbette Thompson sang well the melodies from Romberg's operettas, while Betty Ruth Ross did good singing in the Grieg section of the program. The song hit of the evening was Diane Hayes' original song Eternity which won her the first prize in the song contest. Cecily Mortimer's song, Alone and Blue sung by Phyllis Holland won second place. Janice Lee Wolff, violinist, and Alida Quick, pianist, were the assisting student artists playing their instruments with advanced mastery and fine musical discrimination. The recital closed with delightful dances and pleasing choruses composed by Grieg, combined into an act called A Day With the Music of Grieg. Out- standing work was done by Marian Boardman as solo dancer. The recital met with such universal praise that the dancing and music de- partments are planning future recitals.

With this as one of its mottoes, the Drama Club reached an allahigh peak of success this year. Who takes drama? The wheels and the personalities, the brave and not so brave, the big and the little. Are they successful? The results are proof enough. Leading the list of numerous presentations were the assembly programs, one of which had the theme, It Might As Well Be Spring and featured romance. Pep rallies were a close second with dramatically-inclined students portraying different personalities which added to the enjoyment of the audience.

So Proudly We Hail Dick Riehl, Bill Soderquist, and Clarence Mazetta. The Junior Red Cross was composed of two representatives elected from each third period class at the beginning of the semester. In the Fall the group made Thanksgiving and Christmas tray favors and menu covers for servicemen in the local hospitals. Ornaments and other Christmas tree decorations were made for local camps and airports. Some of this work was done by a small group meeting at the sponsors' homes in the evening. In the Spring the Junior Red Cross made tray favors and menu covers for Valentines Day, St. Patricks Day, and Easter for hospital- ized veterans. At the May meeting of the group, stories and jokes were as- sembled in booklet form to be sent to hospitals. Heading these activities as president was Bill Soderquist, assisted by Dick Riehl, vice-president, and Clarence Mazetta, secretary. Mrs. Klinkner and Mrs. Hanover sponsored the group.

Left to right: Anne Said, Pete Petersen, and june Fox. Big Mel Schefer starts another game. All American The Panther Varsity started the 1946 football season in a practice game on Bailey Field by rolling up a 19 to 7 score against Analy. With this victory to their credit the Panthers then bowed to a hard- righting McClatchey team from Sacramento by a score of 18 to 12. The league started with a game against the Tamalpais Indiansg the Panthers crushed the Indians by a score of 25 to 0. The Santa Rosa Varsity then traveled to Vallejo for a game with that school's much-publicized eleven. After a hard-fought struggle, Vallejo won by the close score of 6 to 0. In the next game, against Napa, a determined Panther team rode to triumph by a score of 33 to 0. San Rafael was the next victim for S.R.H.S. The Panthers started slowly in the first half, but in the second half they piled up a 20 to 0 victory. Then the locals tangled with a rejuvenated Analy team. Handicapped by the absence of Coach Un- derhill, the Panthers were forced to bow to the Tigers. The Panthers ended the league schedule in a game with their traditional rivals, the Petaluma Tro- jans. A large crowd turned out to watch the Santa Rosa Varsity hammer out a 25 to 2 victory over the Trojans. The 1945 season was brought to a successful close when the Panthers, for the first time in two years, overpowered the strong Eureka eleven by a score of 51 to 12 in a non-league game. H. Bolla B.

The Orange and Black started the league ol? by losing a heartbreaking game to the Napa Indians, who won the game in an overtime period by a score of 26 to 24. When the Panthers invaded the Petaluma court in the next engagement they wasted no time getting into the winning circle by dumping the Egg City rivals by a score of 24 to 15. San Rafael the next week invaded the Panther court to take a close and exciting game by a score of 24 to 20. The Fortier quintet routed the Analy basketeers in a fast man-to-man game which ended with Santa Rosa holding 23 points against 12 for Analy. With the Panthers on a winning streak, they invaded the Tam- alpais basketball court to take a close and hard-played game by a score of 18 to 17. The home court of the Orange and Black was invaded by the Vallejo Apaches in the next contest. The Apaches were the victors in a rough and tumble affair by a close score of 27 to 22. Again the Panthers were challenged by the Petaluma Trojans in the final league game. With the Panthers on the home court the Petaluma rivals were beaten by a score of 26 to 16.

Bob Reinking, flashy center, was outstanding on defense as well as offense, he paved the way by taking the jumps and intercepting passes which helped to win for the Fortier five. Bob, a january grad- uate, was not playing in a few of the last league games because of graduation coming before the games. Leo Hayes, tricky forward, ran circles around his opponents by his passing and shifty motions. Leo, who entered the Merchant Marine in the fall, came back to play for the Panthers to help chalk up victory for the Orange and Black. Tom Lindsay, lightning forward, was outstanding in his shooting and passing as well as his defensive play. Tom buzzed by his opponents many times to score for the Panthers. Tom Wilson, classy forward, played excellently on defense by stopping many opponents' passes and preventing scoring threats, Don Schendel, offensive guard, intercepted many passes and drove down the court to help score for the Orange and Black, Don, a new- comer to Santa Rosa High, strengthened the Panther five by his play.

They started the season off with a bang by overpowering the San Rafael team by a score of 15 to 8. Santa Rosa lost the next game to the Vallejo Apaches by a score of 18 to 13. The Panther Cubs then took a close game from Tamalpais fwith the score 8 to S at the half, to come out on top by 18 to 16. The C basketeers next routed their Egg City rivals from Petaluma by a whizzing score of 22 to 10. With the Cubs composed mainly of Freshmen and Sophomotes they had only two returning veterans. 2 john Larsen, Captain and forward, one of the two returning veterans, was a val- uable and hard-playing baslceteer. Bill Cromie, flashy Sophomore forward, did a line bit of playing for the Panther Cubs. He was a consistent player both on offense and defense, Bill Noonan, sharp-shooting guard, swished the ball from his spot for many ot the points totaling toward Panther victories. joe Hotle, fast-breaking center, helped the Panther defense and offense by taking the jumps and intercepting many of the opponents' passes. Don Ward, hard-playing guard, blocked rany of the opponents' shots to help the Panthers stop the scoring threats of their rivals. Many outstanding basketball players were developed for the future Varsity and B teams of Santa Rosa High School. With these mighty mites growing to be strong and flashy players, the basketball future looks bright for Santa Rosa. i Will Rankin Tennis Coach Top Row: Mr. Rankin, Jensen, T. Wilson, H. Olson, L.

Tennis and Golf In the fall the tennis team won the North Bay League championship with Dale Edwards, Earl Kimmel, Stan Jensen and Howard Olson swinging the rackets to victory. The showing wasn't as good in the spring semester, for the team, handicapped by inexperience, placed third in the league competition. However, Coach Rankin developed the abilities of his players and laid the foundation for a strong team next fall with Dale Edwards back to lead the racket wielders. The Panther golf squad, under the coaching of jimmy Underhill, this year re-entered the North Bay League competition with Vallejo, Tamalpais and Petaluma, playing home and home matches. With jim Clark as number one man, the Panther golfers also had Dale Edwards and Dick Read fighting for second and third place. Bill Noonan captured fourth place, and Pete Slusser made the fifth man on the team. Golfers are Left to Right: L. Bazzano, D. Read, Coach jim- my Underhill, J. Clark, and B.

As this old familiar cry rang out over the nation's baseball diamonds this spring, Coach jimmy Underhill assembled a strong crew of Santa Rosa horsehide chasers to begin practice for the 1946 season. The boys in Orange and Black showed considerable strength in a series of practice games. They walloped the Healdsburg Nine to the tune of 8 to 2 and ran away from Petaluma by a score of 16 to 8. Again Healdsburg fell before the Panther batmen, this time by a 22 to 3 score. In a return game with Petaluma Coach Underhill's boys again trounced their old rivals with 5 rallies against the Trojan's 2. A strong team from Sacred Heart in San Francisco took the Panthers into camp for their first defeat of the year with Santa Rosa on the short end of a 10 to 0 score. Roused from their slump the Santa Rosa Diamondeers next managed to squeeze out a 9 to 8 victory over a strong Emeryville team. The Santa Rosa Nine started the N.B.L. season off by defeating the Analy Tigers by a score of 6 to 2. In the second league game the Orange and Black dropped the game to the Tamalpais Indians by a score of 3 to 0. Once more hungry for victory the Underhill Nine routed the San Rafael Bulldogs in a game that was largely a pitching duel. Finally the Panthers caught on to the San Rafael pitcher and came out with a 5 to 1 victory. Next the Santa Rosa team bowed to the Napa Indians in a close game by a score of 7 to 6. As this book went to press, Coach Underhill's boys still had two more league games to play, with Vallejo and Petaluma. .ag f ' .XM ' , - fay,.fg1i,'w - P ' Q Ll?-f, . - I mfg, Nate Cacianti Dick Read Mel Schefer Left Field Third Bm Pitcher Big Mel Schefet occupied the mound for the 1946 Panther Nine, and his fast ball sent many opposing batters down swinging. On the receiv- ing end of Schefer's pitching, Don Lippincott, a newcomer from McClatchey High in Sacramento, turned in a fine performance behind the platter. On first base the Orange and Black had veteran Wes Colgan. Wes, a star first sacker, came up with many excellent plays to help Santa Rosa to victory. Bill Bray and Gene Pisenri alternated at the keystone sack and turned in good, reliable performances. Dick Read, another newcomer from Los Angeles, held down the hot spot at third base for the Panthers. His steady fielding and powerful hitting were instrumental in Santa Rosa's victories. In the outfield, the local nine had Nate Cacianti, Hashy left fielder, who stopped many a threatening rally by his spectacular catches. Center field was covered by Steve Mayer. A powerful hitter, Steve aided , the Panther win over San Rafael by hitting a home run to tie the score. Wes Colgan Bill Mitchell, a veteran player, covered right Held and contributed to First Base Santa Rosa victories with some timely hits. l Bill Mit'-:hell Steve Mayer Walt Guanella Right Field Center Field Short Stop 105 1 1 xr' .

Playdays are held, and the different classes compete against each other to find the champion class of the school. Last semester the Seniors were the proud winners. The classes are divided into two groups, the Freshmen and Sophornores in one group and the juniors and Seniors in the other, which alternate using the gym floor. Baseball is another favorite sport with the girls. It starts with the warm spring weather, and the girls get a lot of healthy exercise out-of-doors along with a great deal of fun. f Above-Junior Baseball Team. Top Row: Manager L. Biagi, A.
