Text from Pages 1 - 114 of the 1948 volume:

WWW Volume forty-one Presented annually by the Students of the Selma Union High School Selma, California 3-wwe Charles O. Blayney For many years Mr. Charles O. Blayney has been a great friend and counselor to the students of Selma High. As Vice-Principal and Dean of Boys, he served with a patient and understanding super- vision of our school problems. Though Mr. Blayney has left our administration, he continues to take an active interest in our school and extracurricular activities. We, the staff, wish to dedicate this, the 1948 Magnet, to Mr. Charles O. Blayney, whose untiring guidance and generosity will ever be remembered by the students of Selma High. l l 0 We Declicate Foreword Yea orange, yea black, Come on team, set 'em back! Hurry up-the G. A. A. is selling orange and black bears! Have you seen the new orange and black uniforms for the basketball teams? I want an orange and black banner for my room! Say, wait a minute gang, just what does your orange and black banner mean? Well, that orange and black banner means that Freshmen are eager to begin a new life- happy and chattery with excitement. It means our football team, which adds the rich color of valor and sportsmanship to our banner just as the track team, tennis and swimming teams, basketball and baseball teams do. It means study in classrooms where we learn to love and appre- ciate our country, where we begin to train our- selves for a vocation. That banner--why it means Sophomores on their class party, Juniors thinking how they must work in order to be worthy of filling the offices of the student body next year, and of course looking forward to giving the best Jun- ior Play the school ever saw. That banner of orange and black is colored with gaiety, deter- mination, wisdom, earnestness, eagerness, and appreciation. The band has helped to color it- the fellows and girls in the halls, the teachers, the principal. Yes, and the Seniors color it- looking forward to the future with the deter- mination to make our world a better one for all. And you know, gang, I think we are out to see to it by our own actions that the good old orange and black ought to always represent integrity, truthfulness, high ideals, and clean living. just look at it-isn't it a wonderful banner for such a wonderful school? Let's make it the theme for this yearls MAGNET. fu an an-nw ns 1 1 1 X Table of Contents Administration Classes Organizations Activities Athletics The Fine Arts Administration Q ,rr fy. iii!

Timothy Welcome When Mr. Timothy first took over his new post as principal of Selma Union High School and successor to Mr. George Howden, we were strangers to him but his kind and friendly manner has made it easy for us to be- come acquainted with him. He came into an entirely new community with many problems confronting him, but he met them with good judgement and understanding. The Senior Career Day, which allowed all seniors in Fresno County to gather here for informative talks and discussions about their respective careers, was a great suc- cess due largely to Mr. Timothy's organizing ability and planning. Mr. Timothy has been a sympathetic counselor to the students and they have felt free to seek his guidance in any problem, large or small. We sincerely hope that Mr. Timothy has enjoyed his first year at Selma and that his following years spent here will continue as successfully. To Mr. Timothy we extend a hearty welcome. 13 Soon the faculty will say Gooclby Seniorsn and See you soon Ju- niors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, the doors will swing shut, and Selma High will lie in Staten for the summer. Some teachers will move on to other schools, some to the ol' fishing holef, .ind others will do that gardening they have been putting off since September. The MAGNET wishes you good luck, good fishing, and :1 fine crop of turnips, and says Thank you, one and allf' Ycrnim XV.1rkenIln, lifuxr' l'fv3,iii'ul lzilrzrilllufl, Arxliur Nord, llilflil, Oli'fn'ilv'il, Iuilrll- rflrrlluf Mlnfii .Xlmcdn mfixikf.

Wm Faculty vs. Lions Club - Donkey Basketball - Sponsored by Student Body Council Problems and more problems came before the student body council for solution this year. However, they met all of them and always devised good plans to solve them. One of the big problems of the year was what to do about the Carnival. After much debating, everything was worked out to meet each club's satisfaction. The council also sponsored two donkey basketball games which everyone enjoyed very much. A basketball game, Faculty vs. Varsity, was sponsored as a benefit for in- jured football players. A float was entered in the Armis- tice Day parade. The financing of school awards, school publications, and school improvements called for much planning but finally funds were raised for all of them. The council appreciates the cooperation given them by students and administration, and by the community. Student Bod Council .wld Dangaran, Bi ay. WWWW 18 ' nm. Serimian, l'n'51iliul. Student Body Officers This year the students of Selma High were very fortu- nate because they had four excellent student body officers. Three of them were elected to office and the fourth was ap- pointed by the school treasurer, Mr. Tanke, and approved by the council. Don Serimian was elected Student Body President in a rousing election last spring. Don was one of the more versa- tile boys in school last year. He was prominent in athletics and scholarship. Don did a fine job as presiding officer in our assemblies and co-ordinating the activities in school. One of the important offices in our school is that of vice-president, held this year by Verne Unger. Verne was in charge of advertising our activities, conducting our pep rallies, and our student assemblies. That's a big job for any- one, but Verne came through with flying colors. How can we ever forget those colorful assemblies put on by Verne? Our attractive and efficient secretary this year was Etta Lou Crownover. Etta Lou has done a fine job of keeping the minutes of the student body council meetings. The Council met every Tuesday noon and also three meetings were held before the student body at assemblies. One of the hardest working girls in school this year was Mary DeVaney. Mary had the job of accounting for the student body funds and handling tickets for all the athle- tic contests. Mary has not only worked hard but has done a fine job as student treasurer. Verne Unger, liua lou Crownm 1 Mary DeVancy, View-I'rrxiilml, Su ri'!ilry.

During their four years at Selma High they have been outstanding in scholarship, in all sports, and in all activities. As freshmen they found Selma High welcoming them with open arms-both hands filled with grease paint. After becoming familiar with the new surround- ings, they courageously started their four-year journey. In their Sophomore Assembly they surprised the school with an eruption of talent, which included every- thing from Carmen Miranda to Chattanooga Choo Choo. The Class of '48 also added a good mark to their record this year When, after much hard work, they won for the school the right to have school dances. The Junior year was a busy one for this up-and-com- ing class. The Junior Play, George Wzlshingtoii Slept Heref, was a huge success. Once again they presented an outstanding assembly. The -junior-Senior banquet was given as a dinner dance at the Pine Lake Lodge and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Their class rings, distinctive and different, were received during the junior year and worn with pride. After an extremely ac- tive year they looked enthusiasticly ahead to becoming high and mighty Seniors. Initiation started the Senior year out with a bang. In January they gave their Senior assembly, which was considered one of the best assemblies of the year. O11 April 24, 1948, the rafters of Selma High rung with ap- plause for the Senior Play, Stardust The next attrac- tion was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held at Hotel Fresno and was enjoyed by everyone. Now with graduation just around the corner, the Seniors are looking forward to it with anticipation, but they feel a touch of sadness because they realize these past twelve years have been some of the happiest years of their lives. They shall never forget Selma High. 22 GLIiN ANDERSI4,N ROBERT APPLEIIY GliRALDINli BAGLIZY BETTY BALARIAN EARL BANNER DIXIE BARNES HA ROLIJ BARN I-,S HARO1,lJ BASQUILZ DALE BENNIJVI' WILLIS BENNETT BIiA'I'RICE BERNAL TOMMY BERRY PATRICIA BILDERBACK ML'IiIliL BISHOP LESLII-L BOOK LUCILLI-1 BOYAJIAN YVONNE CLAUSEN DOLORES COlfIfIZY JUANITA COOK SAM Cox ETTA LOU CROWNOVER PATRICIA DARLING BILL DAY DELORES CLAY NELSON C.AIN LILACII CI IILD B1a'I'TY CLARK BARBARA BRIDGES GUARITO BROCK MARIE BUCKNIZR ESTA CAMPBEI.1, NORMAN CARLSON ,M ' NIARY DEVANLY JOYCE DIaw'IfIIR5T BITQATRICE IJONAB1-QDIAN GERALIJ EKNOIAN ESTHLR EMERZIAN SCOTT ERICKSON EDITH FINCHI-.R VIZRIJA FLINT EARL FOXVLER PATRICIA Fox MAY FU-IIMOTO WALTER GAMOIAN WANDA GODFREY MARCARIJI' GRLLN ERNIESTINI3 GOUVEIA ELIZABETH HARIKIS GLLRIKY HICKEY BETTY HOIRN DELORES HUNTER E'l I'A HUPP LOUISE INGHAM CLAlil'1NCL IvE1zsEN LORLN JACKSON DONNA jAcgo1ss1-LN FRA Nclzs jul-1Ns'l'o N GENEVILVL KIORGLNSILN MARGARET KAliG1lNlAN JAMES KEELING DONA K.1iLLEY IJANNY KLEINIIAMM1-,la B015 KU1,UKklIAN ETHICL LA HUE LoIs MCKENZIE BETTY MAILES JULIUS MANl REDI LEONARD MARK HELEN MARTIN KIYOKO MASUIJA BONNIE MARTIN NANCY MATSUNAGA LOYAL LASSLEY GEIKALDYNE LUNIJ FRANK MCDOXX liI.I, MERRILL LAMLEY VERNON LAMLIZY BILLY LARGENT KIOHNNIE LITTLE DANIEL LUCID GAY Owl-.N MAIKGIL P111L1.11's BILULAII Pl'1 1's ANURL-cv QULSADA CECIL R0l5li!i'l'S WliA1.'I'l lx' RUWLAND LOUISI1 SANm.us DIjli1XN SARKISIAN .AALICIL MURALIZZ i1OS1,MA1iY Nll'll.SKJN AIA N 1-.'r'1'xL Ov IZRSTRIZIZT SAMMY Movxfks QILAN MUNDAY IUIIN NAc5AMA'1'su JliANNl'l Nl'1LSON KILAN NELSON if CLARA SCHLOENVOGT LORLNL SCHNEIDER GRACE SEALE DON SERIMIAN JERRY SHANTZ SEYKO SHIGA EIWIKO SHIMOIDII JUDITH SIIJILS MAIRY HIi1.I'.N SILVIIZRA VIRGINIA SIMPSON NLLLIIL SMITH XVARRIZN SMIIII Lll,l.IAN TATOOLIAN MIN'liKO TI RAIIA TARO TI-QRASIII BOB TURMON PAUL YOUNG Not Pictured joHN AYVAZIAN HAIROLD CAIi'I'WlRIGll'I' ESI'I'1lill GONZALILS 11-Lo MAIRQUILZ DONALD OVERSTRLLT 30 VLRNE UNGER LEROY VAN WINKLIE JOHN VASSILIAPES U'l'PiELN WELLS IRENL WHIT1i BILLIE WILEY Great form, Jerry!

The boy at the helm this year was Neil Chamberlain, with Elbert Harris as Vice- president. The year began with the thrill of receiving the junior rings, after pestering Mr. Gravatt to hurry up the process and begging him to hand them out during class time. The junior class worried and slaved over the Broadway hit Kitty Foylef' which was successfully presented on December 12-13. There was a huge turnout for the ice skating party and a good spill was had by all! It turned out to be the best party the class has ever had. Putting on the assembly was a mad rush as always, getting last minute things done and sewing furiously on costumes. The class of 49 was busy raising money for the banquet by grabbing every possible opportunity to sell cokes and candy. Re- freshments were even sold by the Junior class at the Y-Teen's Valen- tine Dance as an accommodation to the Y-Teens. A fitting farewell for the Seniors was the banquet held at the Hotel Fresno in May which was well attended by the members of both classes. 33 Don A rdunmgni , 1'n':rzlw11I, Sophomores l Doc Lix angmn, Vin'-Pl'vxil1'z'11I. livel yn Serian, Girls' Tr'vas1m'r'.

Advisors The class of 1950 began their second year glad to be no longer looked upon as The Green Horns of Selma High. The sophomore class is becoming increasingly active in the vari- ous organizations in the school. Several sophomores are members of the Scholarship Society which is considered quite an honor. As well as being intelligent, the Class of 1950 has many mem- bers who have taken part in Athletics and also in positions of school leadership. A considerable portion of the band is made up of sopho- mores, also. An activity of the sophomores for this year was the making and selling of pom poms at our football games to add more color and pep to our rooting section. The sophomores are eagerly looking into the future to make names for themselves so that Selma High will have been a better school because of them. 35 Ronald Dangaran, l're.vi1luut.

Advisors The class of 1951 will never forget September 22, 1947. for that was the first day of high school for them. They were shy, enthusiastic, green freshmen who were frightened by the thought of initiation which was soon to come. However, they found that the seniors were not so rough at initiation as they threatened to be. In December the class held its first party in the gym where they played games, danced, and got acquainted. The freshmen assembly was the next big activity where a version of Show Boat was presented. At the carnival in April leis and pom-poms were sold. The second party was held in May at Burris Park. The class of 1951 showed a lot of class spirit and participated in all school activities. With the help of their class advisors they enjoyed a successful year and are looking forward to being sophomores next September. 37 k..J Mr. Brown's 3rd period Physics Class.

The pro- grams have consisted of a series featuring hair, clothes, make-up, voca- tions and movies. Some of the activities for the year have been: food sales, the Valen- tine Dance, and Spring Day, Their concession at the school carnival was the fun house. The annual Mother-Daughter banquet was held at the Baptist Church in January. Pat Darling, president, Delores Hammond, secretary, and Phyllis Zeller, social chairman went to Asilomar, a conference center near Mon- terey, for a weekend in February. Pat was leader for all the girls there which is considered quite an honor.

Later in the first semester, at an induction service held in the local Methodist Church, eleven new boys joined the club, most of Whom were freshmen. Meetings this year were held twice a month, which gave the pro- gram committee a better chance to secure a large variety of interesting speakers. During the Christmas season the Hi-Y boys helped the Y's Men Club in selling Christmas trees. In January the boys served at the Y. W. C. A. Mother-Daughter Banquet. A 550.00 contribution was made to the Y. M. C. A. Wforld Reconstruction Fund from proceeds of a coke sale on Armistice Day. Because of the fact that each of the officers did an excellent job to- gether with the fine cooperation of the members, the Hi-Y Club feels that they have had a very successful year.

It was founded at Selma Union High School dur- ing World War I which makes it one of the oldest organiza- tions in school. The Junior Red Cross started the year off with an assem- bly with all the plans for the year given to the students. Ac- tivities were begun with the annual raising of money for the national Service and Enrollment Fund. This activity was in the form of a contest between the girls and boys with the girls winning. Some of the money collected was used to send gift boxes to Guam. Eighty boxes were sent containing toys, soap, tooth paste and brushes, and other health articles. These boxes are valued at approximately 581.50 each. The Junior Red Cross also contributed to the National Children's Fund formed to help children of all nations as well as the United States. All in all this has been a very active year for the Junior Red Cross of Selma Union High School. Scincd: Delores Clay, Pat lrox. Guarim Broil., Yvonne Clausen.

This year there are eighty students taking agriculture. Out of this group there are sixty-four members in the chapter. The Selma chapter was host at the officers training school which was held here this year. This is for officers of every chapter in Fresno and Madera counties. Stanley Johnson was elected as president of this section. This year the team took second place in the vine-pruning contest held in Kingsburg. Clarence Iversen was high point individual in the contest and received the Sun Maid cup. The boys were hosts at the Hacienda de Los Reyes and fur- nished the entertainment from the music department. Two boys were sent to the State F. F. A. Convention as delegates. A group of 19 members attended the Jr. Livestock show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco and seven boys at- tended the State Fair. The F. F. A. boys attended field days at the Adobe in Ma- dera, Vanderhoofs at Woodlake and the State-wide finals at San Luis Obispo. Row I: J. Watts, J. D. W'alker, J. Thaten, E. Campbell, R.

This honor group, which tis composed of students of high grade averages and outstanding scholastic ability, has a goal of being a constant service organization to the school and com- munity. Its first service was to conduct the collection of money for the March of Dimes Campaigng a col- lection to which all students contributed generously. During the annual spring Carnival the C. S. F. spon- sored the fire-escape slide, which provided thrills and excitement for many people and served the double purpose of enriching the treasury. Even a service organization must take time to re- lax so a snow party at Lodgepole provided a day full of fun and faces covered with snow. This year the C. S. F. boasts of 12 seniors eligible for life member- ship. Torch-wearers for the first semester numbered 30 while the second semester numbered 50. Much of the credit for a successful year goes to the officers of the C. S. F. and their able and compe- tent advisor, Miss Yolanda Cavallo. Snow party at Lodgepolc.

Baste and Taste This group consists of girls interested in home- making whether enrolled in homemaking classes or not. The aim of the group is service-service to the school, the community, and the nation. Some of the projects of this group were packing gift packages for the Junior Red Cross for children in war-torn countries, making afghans for convales- cent veterans in hospitals and making stuffed animals for distribution overseas. The club contributed money to the Community Chest Fund, lnfantile Paraylsis Fund, Crippled Childrenls Fund, Cancer Fund and worthy causes. They sent two food and clothing pack- ages to needy persons in Europe through CARE as well as collecting and packing food and clothing for two more boxes which they sent directly to Europe. The money for financing the work of the club was obtained from the sale of hot dogs at basketball and football games and at the school carnival.

The staff has worked hard to edit what we hope is the finest MAGNET of Selma High. Editor Edith Fincher and her Assistant Editor, Phyllis Zeller have worked hand in hand with the many division and class editors to get an accurate report of the year's happenings. Business Manager Bill Day has captained his crew of MAGNET salesmen and has sold advertisements to many of the business places in Selma. Mr. Tanlae, the MAGNET advisor has given his time and efforts to aid the staff in editing this MAGNET. mm, HMM,-, The work has been enjoyable to the staff. Getting back pic- Jiilnw-. tures from the photographer, cuts from the engraver, and proofs from the printer have been high points of progress leading to the final satisfaction of distributing the finished bools to eager buyers.

But the Selma Hi students again came through and helped by purchasing CLARION cards which brought it enough money to get the press rolling. Many places of business in the community also backed the CLARION by buying space for ads. The success of the CLARION was due to the regular work of a very hard-working staff, the editor-Wealthy Rowland, and the advisor-Ellen Hasbrouck. There was a picture in every featureg a feature in every CLAR- IONg and an edition every two weeks. Because the CLARION has kept the Student Body well informed w'Qa1rHVizl1w'lrnd, on the latest activities of the year, the staff, as well as the students are very proud of this year's CLARION.

Our peppy, enthusiastic yell leaders have made the rafters of Selma High ring with the audible support of our Student Body. Margaret Kargenian, Pat Fox, Vernon Lamley, and Johnny Vassalaides are the four who always go home from the games just barely able to whisper. Likewise, they have add- ed zest and vitality to our pep assemblies and can be praised for their splen- did support for the Selma teams. Rally Committee Our very capable rally committee which is composed of the yell leaders, president of the Block S, the president of the G. A. A., and headed by the vice president of the student body, has done an extraordinary job of keeping up spirit in our school this year. We have had numerous pep assemblies which have varied from skits, pom pom girls, yell lead- ers, and majorettes, to mock weddings. Stimulating songs, enthusiastic yells, and good pep talks by various members of the student body and faculty marked their assemblies. Our annual bonfire rally was also sponsored by the rally committee. Selma High owes this committee a big thank youu for their splendid work during the year.

Nichelini, the Selma Bears finished the season with a well-earned third place in Sequoia League Competition. They started by defeating Madera, but lost the first league game to Dos Palos. The Bears practiced hard and with the ufighting spiritn they won the next two games. lt seems a few years ago, Sanger was Selmals chief rival on the gridiron, but lately it seems that Kingsburg has become than rival. Many people traveled to the Kingsburg-Selma game to see what everybody hoped would be a Victory, but Selma just eouldn't stop them. This year there seemed to be a jinx on the Bears when they played an out-of-town game, but when they played on the new Rose Avenue Field, they didnlt lose a game. They easily defeated Lemoore, but Reedley and Fow- ler were fights to the finish with Selma the victor.

Junior Varsity 6 18 U 0 0 Laton 32 Coarsegold 14 Parlier 14 Caruthers 14 Coarsegold 0 Last year the Junior Varsity was organized for the first time. It is a football team for boys who haven't had ex- perience playing football and for those who are too large for the lightweight team. This year, under the guidance of Dasil Mathews, they played hard and learned many things about blocking and tackling. They are not in a league as the Varsity is, but they played other Junior Varsities and small school varsities. Thus, with much experience and knowledge gained this year, we are looking forward to seeing these boys on the varsity squad next year. 66 +1li-nn-w.- Action shot of junior Vanin Row I: Charles Heisingcr, Les- lie Bock, Alfred Salazar, Hara old Barnes, Earl Fowler, Rich- ard Reitv, john Crawford.

Under the guidance of Coach Warkeiitin, the Cubs started out this year determined to capture the Sequoia League championship. As the season progressed, the Cubs won one game after another, and at the end of the season, the team found itself at the top of the League. Because of the team's hard hitting tactics, their opponents were usually help- less. The Cubs ended the season unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon.

Leonard Carlson, Track The Selma track team journeyed to the Tulare 20-30 Rc- lays for its first meet of the year and made a good showing. At the Reedley Relays, Selma was barely edged out of first place in the A Class by Coalinga. Selma was the Sequoia League victor in the Class A di- vision at Lemoore. The 880-yard relay team set a new league record and Lucid tied existing records in the two hurdle events. L. Dawson and Roberts did exceptional work in their events. On May 1 the Selma team upset a highly favored Edison team in winning Class A honors at the Fresno District Meet. Harry Donabedian showed his heels to the favored sprinters by winning both the 100 yd. dash and the 220 yd. dash as Well as the broad jump. Roberts, Marchant, Lucid, Day, Young, and Harris also took places. The whole track team wishes to thank Coach Warkcntin for his fine job of coaching. Lloyd Mmrchant. Danny lucid. .,..,, -.

The Tennis team, coached by Miss Doerr and Mr. Brown, went through a rather diffi- cult year. The team had two practice games with Caruthers, followed by league games with Lemoore, Reedley, Kingsburg, Sanger, Clovis, and Fowler. They did have some glory in their team, however. Johnny Vassiliades and Lilace Child won the mixed doubles champion- ship of the league and went on to the semi-finals on May 19. Beulah Pitts and Jeanne Nelson played girls' doubles, and Yvonne Clausen played girls' singles. The boys' doubles were varied from game to game: Gerald Price and Neil Chamber- lain, Harold Cartwright and Jerry Shantz as alternates. The boys' singles were also chang- able, having Jerry Shantz, Miles Rider, Norn an Carlson, and Harold Cartwright playing. Swimming Having taken the Sequoia League Swim meet for the last three consecutive years, swimming at Selma High is gradually becoming a major sport. At the beginning of the year, it seemed as though there wouldn't be any swimming because of the serious power shortage, but the lack of power ceased, and when May finally rolled around, there could be heard shouts of joy coming from the swimmers in the pool. The league swim meet is scheduled to be held at Lemoore this year, the swimming team is looking forward to a fourth consecutive victory.

The winners of these sweaters wear them with pride because they know that the sweater is symbolic of good sportsmanship as well as being evidence of ability in the field of sports. The girls won their award sweaters through G. A. A. activities and the boys won theirs by points received in inter- scholastic sports.

Block S This year the Block S started the season off in snappy style by choosing a set of energetic officers who immediately began planning the yearls activities. In order to replenish the somewhat financially embarrassed treasury, the club sponsored a bean feed on Armistice Day. This feed, however, backfired and the club found itself more embarrassed than ever. The big event which was presented by the Block SU was the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance held March S. This dance was again a huge success as it was last year. During the year many peppy meetings were held and Allen Nichelini's advice was much in evidence at their meetings. c Row I: Benny Tanalxm, George lnouye, Dan Lucid, Scott Erickson, john Vassi- liades, Bill Day, iiill U'Neil, Row Z: Coach Niehelini, Harold Basquev, Don Serimian, lilhert Harris, George Ogata.

The Girls Athletic Association has always been an active organization and this year it has been even more popular. Many girls signed up for the various sports. The girls started the year out with a bike hike to Kings River. Many girls turned out and everyone agreed this was the most enjoyable activity of the year. Volleyball, basketball, and baseball, were the most popular sports of the year. How- ever, a great many tried their skill at ping pong and swimming. Volleyball teams were organized according to classes this year. There were two teams from each class. The games were played round robin style, the final winner being Delores Clay's senior team and the runner-up was May Fujimoto's senior team. There was quite a large turn-out for ping pong. The games were played after school in the Cellar. The last five girls played the games off round robin style, the winner being May Fujimoto. The G. A. A. acquired a new activity this year. At the beginning of the year, in partnership with the Block S, they took over the Cellar. After putting out much hard work and effort, they managed to build up their funds considerably. The G. A. A. spon- sored many dances after football games. We congratulate our officers and sponsor, Miss Doerr, for the grand job they have done. limi' 1: ifmti-y l5.irn:s, lillen whim, Mzri' lientlcv. lrunu Allen, Ann Bas- m.'i1.in, liclty Bxililiifii. lilvllle Boyaiian, Uclores Clay.

Between halves at the football games our Band performed various stunts with precision and slxill. The most spectacular stunt occurred at a night game when the Band formed a foot- ball, and the majorettes, representing the strings of the football, did .1 lighted baton drill. The crowning triumph of the year came when the Band was invited to Long Beach to compete in a parade of sixty three bands. Besides having a wonderful time the Band won second place in their classification. The Band topped off the year by perform- ing at the Raisin Bowl and marching in parades, at which they placed first many times. Our Band is a vital part of school life and we are all proud of its splendid record. .tv 5 l . low 1: Xivnie lS in.l, Xlarilxn White. lueille l1.oy.ili.in. Cnilleen Merrill.

With twirling batons, high steps, and rhythmic dances, our nine lovely majorettes led by head majorette, Dona Kelley, have added color, life, and interest to Selma High's musical productions and athletic events. Between halves at the football games the smart, sparkling white uniforms have been watched eagerly by the spectators as the majorettes have executed snappy numbers with the marching band on the field. On the stage of Selma High's auditorium, fascinating reviews of the peppy girls have been fully appreciated by the audience. Majorettes Pom-Pom Girls Our pep girls have been very active this year in parades and during football games. We were pleasantly surprised at their first appearance this year when we discovered they had new costumes featuring the new look -long, black circular skirts. The girls accompanied the band to the Raisin Bowl and performed on the sidelines while the game was being played. Four of the five pep girls will graduate this year leaving places that will be hard to fill. We hope the girls next year will be as good for our morale as the pom-pom girls of this vear.

The Swing Band, although not as active as in years past, has been kept busy this year. It presented an assembly on February twenty-seventh, gave programs for civic organiza- tions such as the Community and Rotary clubs, participated in the band concert, and played for various school dances. When programs were given the violins from the orchestra were added to the group. Mr. Nord, who deserves much praise for his hard work and pa- tience, has made this group into one which all enjoy. The bandis interpretation of the latest tunes of the day are always well received by the student body and the public. The Swing Band will always add a bright spot to Selma High.

Under the capable direction of Mr. Nord, the Orchestra has again completed a year's entertainment for the listening public. Unlike the Swing Band, the orchestra plays mostly classical and standard music. The orchestra furnished the music for the Junior and Senior plays, the Operetta, and participated in other programs. Because the group was rather small this year, Mr. Nord was able to help the individual members with technique and expression. The orchestra's effort to produce good entertainment is appreciated by the student body. 80 Vocal Department The vocal department deserves much praise for the many fine concerts, assemblies, and programs it has presented to the school and public. The biggest project, Straus' Operetta, A Waltz Dream, is a wonderful example of the excellent per- formances which have been given during the past year. The Christmas program, due to the varied program, which included nearly every type of Christmas music from Schubertis Ave Marial' to jingle Bellsf, held the interest of the near- capacity audience in the Baptist Church for almost two hours. At Christmas, Lincoln's birthday, Easter, and other oc- casions, different groups presented appropriate assemblies to the student body, which were enjoyed and appreciated. Due to the capable direction and hard work of Mr. XVall- ing and the cooperation of the students all these performances have upheld the high standard of music for which Selma High is noted. Boy's Glee This year, for the first time in several years, the music department has a boys' glee club. Mr. Walling organized this group in his fourth period class. The boys have named themselves The jolly Boys, and all have similiar shirts featuring loud colors. 'iThe jolly Boysn got off to a good start here at school in the Magnet assembly with a couple of novelty songs. Since then they have sung at most of the clubs around town, at the senior assembly, and at the Father and Son Banquet. The whole school and the community certainly appreciate the fine efforts of Mr. Wfalling and the Jolly Boys. 81 Nelson Xlfalling. Dlrftlm' Row I: ISolv lllayney. llale Bennett Norman larlwn.

The Treble Clef, consisting of twelve talented young vocalists, has been one of the high-lights of the vocal department. As the Treble Clef is an extra-eurri- eular activity, these hard-working, enthusiastic girls have devoted much time and work in making their group outstanding. The girls have presented religious concerts in the churches of Selma and of neighboring townsg they have participated in assemblies given especially by the vocal departmentg they have sung for service clubs and social organizations. These girls deserve a big thank youu for their hard work. Girls' Glee The Girls' Glee has had a very busy year, as have the other groups in the vocal depart- ment. lt participated in the Christmas program, in various assemblies, sang the choruses in the operetta, and participated in the Music Festival in Fresno. This sixth period class was a very popular one. The girls who take it for one year usually are eager to join the class again.

The Senior Sextette has been a very popular and successful group during the past year. The girls have appeared in assemblies, concerts, and have given pro- grams for several civic organizations. The Nonette, composed of nine Sophomore girls, participated in the Christ- itfas concert and various sacred concerts. The music took long hours of practice to perfect. So both the Sextette and Nonette, because they are extra-curricular groups, deserve special acknowledge- ment for their fine work. Choir The choir, which is the largest of the vocal groups, has had an enjoyable as well as pro- fitable year. The first public appearance, under the direction of Mr. XValling, was made on Thanksgiving Day in the Presbyterian Church. This proved to be only an excellent begin- ning of many fine performances. These included the Christmas assembly and program, and the assembly in honor of Lincoln's Birthday. The choir also sang the choruses of the oper- :ttzl which added life and brilliance to the production. new if Delores clay. otiiraw Brock, Sharon Lrownover, ,lean- ne I..1X'ere. -Indy Sides, Olivia Sapicn.

Nord, presented its 10th annual Band Concert on May 7th in the High School auditorium. The concert, commemorating National Music Week, was entitled Foster American Musicf, Following this theme, the program consisted of the music of American composers and arrangers. This outstanding program varied from the classical to the popular. The talented soloists of the evening were Peter Koopman with his tromboneg Verda Flint, accordionistg and Irene White and Joyce Dewliirst combining their talents on the grand pianos. Mistress of Ceremonies, Edith Fincher, introduced the vocal groups, directed by Mr. Nelson Walling. The grand finale, featuring the Pom-Pom Girls, the Majorettes, and the entire band, was a striking picture of color made possible by the use of strobolite. Irene Whire. .loyte lleixlnrsi.

The large, well-chosen cast helped in making the performance realistic. The colorful costumes .ind the pomp and splendor of the royal family did much to lend n festive gnietv to the play.

Kitty, the product of a good middle-class background, falls in love with Wyn Strafford of the old, aristocratic Philadelphia Straffords.

On April 24, 1948, a tired, but talented group of Seniors presented the Senior Play, Stardust.', The hilarious comedy kept the large audience in- terested throughout the entire performance. The action of the play centers around Prudence Mason, an actress, who is visiting the Academy of Dramatic and Allied Arts, directed by an unforgetable Mr. Bach, and attended by a group of stage struck students. Prudence, who has come to the academy to rest and think before her mar- riage to Arthur Scott, Jr., becomes involved with the students, Mr. Bach, and the Dean of Women. The climax comes when Prudence, asking Arthur to help her talk her way out of the predicament, discovers that Arthur is a little more interested in his business than in her. She not only tells him, but also Mr. Bach and the students what she -thinks. However, the play finally results in a happy ending. Adding a romantic touch to the play are Janet Ross and Phil Ford. The success of the entire evening was due not only to the principal characters, but also to those who supported them so splendidly. The cast wishes to thank Mr. Culbertson for his helpful guidance throughout the play.
