Typical! of Shaffer Hi is the S Tower, W l Q9 Y 1 A 1 He knows the true value of sportsmanship. We, the feminine half of Shafter Hi, were indeed fortunate enough to have Miss Liep- man as our true friend and counselor, not only in physical education but in school life as well. She is understanding in the ways of youth, she is, and always will be, young in heart, she is the living example of all the things we want to be. Our true friend and counselor. ln Coach Todd's ready smile, we perceived the courage for which there is no defeat. For his patience with our mistakes, and knowledge of the true value of sportsmanship, we are especially grateful. His sym- pathy, tolerance, and understanding of youth combined with his love of sports in general have given him an enviable spot in the hearts of all sports fans. , I We dedicate this book to Miss Liepman and Coach Todd who have, in their past two years at Shafter, held our re- spect, admiration, and friendship through their work. For their high ambition in the field of sports and unceasing ef- forts, the Shafter High School Student Body will carry the influence of their work and character through the years. We humbly pay tribute to these two whose encouragement has heariened us in our endeavors. 4 ii 79 ir' ln his two and a half years as principal of SHS, Mr. Kelly has opened wider ranges of experience for us, and through his kindly un- derstanding of people and his in- terest in them, made education inviting.

The parties at the Motel and night meetings away from the school room accounted for many gab sessions the fol- lowing day, when council members got back to the old grind. However, they accepted new responsibilities this year, sponsoring various social activities, en- tering into community service and relations, and in general, promoting the democratic idea through the school. 8 ga- 4 V I . 1.

HENDERSON, LEROY One of Shafter's smart kids, Leroy did a good job as President of the C.S.F. and rightly deserves his scholarship pin.

PARKS, BETTY LEE Cheertkl, pleasant Betty is known to her Home Ec. friends as a good helper in foods and a real pal in gym, REYNOLDS, BUFORD Some might call him the sober type, but wait until you have caught his sly sense ot humor and you will un- derstand why he had a great many friends.

We ap- preciate the knowledge she gives us in the field of health as well as her jovial smile and sly sense of humor. We students are not always able to become close friends with her but frequently wish she were a regu- lar member of the staff. We appreciate her jovial smile and sly sense of humor. OUR STUDIO IS KEPT ATTRACTIVE BY THE CUSTODIANS lt has always been a mystery how our four janitors can do so many jobs and still be able to help the many students who run to them with Where do you find this? Will you help us move that? and Could we please get into this room for a few minu'es?

And now the Laurion brings you the Pas- sing Parade, a record of the days at Shatter High School for your memory-book. Starting with a lot of enthusiasm the Lau- rion Statt tackled the job of catching in pic- tures and words the memories you will want to keep of the year l945 at Shatter High School. Overcoming wartime shortages of materials and professional help with an indomitable will to produce a good book, Editor Marjorie Ol- son and her helpers accomplished what at times seemed impossible. A spirited selling campaign launched at an assembly, sold subscriptions which, together with advertising sold to local merchants, paid for a really admirable book. We hope his Passing Parade will recall for you many happy days and old friends in the years to come.

The Homemakers' Hour on station SHSL goes on the a.r when the Home Economics Club meets, usually during activity period on Wednesday :nd occasionally in the evening at one of the members' home. A really enthusiastic group beganearly in the year, under the advice of Mrs, Dawe, by raising money for the Red Cross. Daily sales at noon of big red. apples brought a nice profit and later a sale of clever hair ribbons and bows, ma 'e by the girls, added to the fund. During the second semester activities declined with the absence oi Mrs. Dawe, but the enterpris- ing nature of the members kept the club alive amd gives it promise of.bigger and better things next year. The dominance of Freshmen members, who wer: also the most active, insures a nucleus to start the group again. R V OVER SHSL lT'S THE BLUE AND C-OLD LUNCH CLUB Over SHSL it's the Blue and C-old Lunch Club. Although newly formed this year, these girls are probably the most indespensible group at Shatter High School since it is they who prepare and serve our lunches. Made up of the advanced homemaking studen 's and some volunteer helpers the club also served the mid-term Senior banquet, and annual football banquet and the Father and Son banquet, sponsored by the FFA. The Blue and Cold Lunch Hour was one eagerly anticipated be- cause they lived upto the motto: The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

Station SHSL is proud to present to you the F.F.A. which is dedicated to those young Americans interested in becoming better Americans through the field of agriculture. The purpose of this organization is to teach the boys how to become better farmers. The high-light of the program was on March 23 when the annual Father and Son banquet was held at the Rich- land Cafeteria. The main feature of the evening was the awarding of honors to seven boys who had earned their lOO points. The farm is the pride of the school, being considered one of the best school farms in California, and it is through the F.F.A. that it has this distinction. Our time is now up but we hope you have enjoyed listening to this program as much as we have enjoyed presenting it to you. Fred Starrh is proud of his prize winning project in sheep. Chuck Hitchcock takes prizes with hogsj like this one.

THE ALLCIRL GLEE CLUB RANKS AS AN HOUR OF CHARM An Hour of Charm' 'at SHSL is the first period in the morning when the all-girl C-lee Club meets to sing in Room l3. Under the direction of Mr. Gates, the singers enjoyed an hour of charming music and departed regretfully at the end of the period. We listened with pleasure when they appeared to sing on the Christmas program leading the audi ence in some old familiar carols. A favorite with under-classmen, it was swelled by their membership to one of the largest groups in Shaffer High School, 32 MR. ARNOLD AND HIS MUSICMAKERS ARE OUR BAND The Blue and Gold network now brings you Mr. Arnold and his music-makers -the spotlight band from station SHSL. To this splendid group of musicians, we are greatly indebted lor their enter- taining performances of the past year. They are always on the iob at all the Pep assemblies, and many times surprised us with their specialties. such as when Tiny Mettler and his Big Boys played their iazz music, with Bob Mettler as the maestro of this big little hand.

The program we are about to pre- sent to you, the Drama Club,is or- farfized to help such people as you on the road to success. To raise more funds and to initiate the new members into the club, an auction was held' in front of the school where the new members were sold as slaves for a week to the old members for not over a clollar. The first public performance was given on january 25 at which time they presented three one-act plays. The Valiant, Metamorphosis, and Why l Am a Bachelor. Metamorphosis was of more significance because it was written by no other than the adviser Miss Regier. Our time is now up so until we come your way again, we bid you a friendly farewell.

For an hour of fun and song, ioin us now as we present the Pep Club. Organized for the pur- pose of' promoting school spirit this vifvacious aggregation pro- vided SHS with leadership for demonstrations of loyalty and enthusiasm. Arranging and conducting pep assemblies was their most outstanding achievement and many was the time our athletic teams got the much needed inspiration from the encouraging yells and pep talks given at the assemblies. Long to be remembered was the outdoor night rally on the football field when the Wasco tiger was burned in effigy to the enthusiastic en- couragement of Shaffer rooters. On the job at all the games, were the cheer leaders, leading the appropriate yells and keeping up the fighting spirit when we were losing. When things got dull at school, a dance at noon in the hall was arranged for by these in- stigators and everyone was happy again. Cheerleaders Pat Mettler, Edna Rodgers, and Martha Helm. generate pep among the rooting section. One of the Pep Club's activities to promote school spirit was to decorate the goal posts. f Have you always wanted to take a trip to old Mexico, Well,here is your chance. No, you don't need a hundred dollars: just relax in that chair while the Spanish Club takes you on an imaginary trip to Mexico.

Draw your chair up close to your loud-speaker while the Library Club airs a program Of Men and Books. Under the direction ot Miss Liepman, these bookworms have functioned as the library staff, arranging and filing books and magazines and man- aging the circulation desk. Although membership was open to anyone and many students joined the club at the beginning of the year, they were later required to pass a test in library methods. One very worthwhile service was the arrange- ments made with the county librarian, Ben Evans, to show slides on How to Use the Library' 'to the English classes. The year's social events included a moonlight hike which was rained into Paula Raney's house and big picnic at the end of the year for all of the full-fledged members. Of Men and Books is an established feature on SHSL and one of its most praiseworthy pro- grams. 38 THE LIBRARY CLUB KEEPS US UP-TO-DATE ON MEN AND BOOKS Xl is lrene Hamilton, lean Schreiner, Paula Raney ku swf 5 , DO YOU NEED A SECRETARY?

GIRLS' LETTER CLUB BUILDS HEALTH AND BEAUTY The Girls' Letter Club, under the supervision of Miss Liepman, has been very active this last year. A few of the important programs they sponsored were the Coronation Ball and serving refreshments for the clean-up drive. The Girls' Letter Club consists of the more prosninent girls in athletics, because they must work hard for the honor and very seldom do any girls reach their SOO points before they became juniors.

BLOCK S MEN BUILD MORALE AND PHYSIQUE Block S could well mean the rugged men around campus, because all have trained well and put considerable effort into doing something wor h-while for the school and themselves. Membership in Block S was limited to boys wha earned a letter as a member of an A team and who successfully passed the rugged initiations. With the aid of the F. F. A., Block S staged a well organized C-olden Cloves Boxing tournament that won a lot of publicity for Shafter High School, sold bonds for Uncle Sam, and served to build character and physique- , is i Coach lodd kept up the morale of the Generals Coach Gates won the loyalty of the Colonels 1 5 6- 5 l I F tip s A 4 . ,,,.. ,ts i M 23,49 ' fs' l 'fr I wW,,,,,,,MmNa, r as Chosen unanimously by thein squad were Harold Gipson, most valuable player, and Chuck Thomas, captain for the year. FOOTBALL WAS THE FIRST HICJHLICHT OF THE SPORTS PARADE Although wartime restrictions put a ban on mu ch of the traveling and the schedule was cut to a minimum, football was once again the highlight of school life for a season. The students with all their spirit and enthusiasm, cheered for a victorious season against many teams in whose class we do not ordinarily play. Our boys deserve a big hand for their sportsmanship. Even after defeats they went back on to the field timewand time again, hitting hard, with their chins up. They were never defeated in spirit. 44 l 55555 THE GENERALS LEAD THE ATTACK AGAINST OUR FOOTBALL FOES First string Generals line-up: Line: Bob Devlin, Allen Mettler, Backfield: Elmer Mettler, Bob Everett Elms, Chuck Klassen,Chuck Mettler, Harold Gipson, Gerald Thomas, I.

The boys played a very hard season but it seemed that they were not fated to win any victories. In this last game with the Tigers, both sides suffered losses in the first half when Shaf- ter's quarterback and a Wasco player were taken out after they were iniured, both with broken legs- Although the Generals did not have a part in very many games, they put up stiff competition in those they did- play. 46 1 lTHE COLONELS MOP UP OUR FOOTBALL ENEMIES Winning most of the games of their season, the Colonels had both enthusiasm and sportsman- ship. They beat Wasco once and tied them in the last game of the season. Usually at a disadvant- age because of a late start in practicing under lights at night and being outweighed and out num- bered by most of their opponents, this scrappy sq tad, nevertheless, developed a team spirit that was hard to beat and played some of the best games Shatter fans witnessed during the whole season. Under lVlr. Cates able coaching, the boys learn id many new and fast plays which will make them very valuable as the A squad members of next year. The playing done by the Colonels showed the excellent coaching Mr. Cates has done. Bottom row: M. Bartel R. Schaeffer, L. Hender- son, P, Crafton, B.Oaede, B. Scales, C, Coering, B Crawford.

Although they were not always on the winning si je, we can truthfully say our team came out on top, in sportsmanship. i . 1 . A o None of the games were push-overs: each was a hard fought battle, making our victories real vic- tories, as our defeats were glorious defeats. Dale Wiedmann was chosen most valuable player of the year, due to his outstanding leadership and highclass playing. Bob Devlin was named captain of the team, as he showed a good eye for the bucket and handled the ball well with his team-mates. Our basketball season might have been more successful if our football hero, Harold' Cipson, could have been with the General, but he was lunfortinatelv, for usl called into the Navy, along with many of our other campus men who deserve hon arable mention. Bottom row: Bill Grumbles, Gene Harless, Dale Wiedmann, Gerald Mendenhall, Bob Devlin, Coach Todd. Standing: Homer Thomas, Elmer Mettler, Bob Mettler, Mack Wil- coxon, Vernon Templeton. ...Coach Todd gives the starting line-up final instructions. IN THE GOLONELS WERE A FIGHTING BASKETBALL TEAM Our Golonels of '45 proved themselves very ca Jable of playing basketball and with the help of the returning veterans from the Generals, will make up a promising varsity next year. With their competition as keen as it was, the Colonels disp'ayed the stamina and the spirit of cooperation needed for a successful term. Hershall Rodgers, a junior, was chosen captain of the year by the squad, which was a wise choice, because Hershall sparked the team to greater efforts when the scores went against them. Bud An- derson was chosen most valuable player for his fast, hard games and a keen eye for the basket that added up many points for Shatter. To Coach Gates goes the credit for a well organized B team. He developed good individual players and welded them together in spirit as a team. The Colonels displayed the spirit and ooperation of a good team, l Colonels squad for the season was: Anderson, Bartel,Gaede, Hamlin, Hef- fley, Hight, juneman, Melvin, Mous- er, Peters, Rainwater, Captain Rod- gers, and Voth. 49 Bucks squad for the season was: Alb r i g h t, Bello-ws, I. Bender, V. Bender, Cotton, Crawford, Duke, Captain Farr, Fuller, Grumbles, Ham- lin, Harris, Howard, March,- man, Miller, Nikkei, Pearce, Scales, and Webb. Coach Spitzer explains a play to Captain Farr and outstanding player Bender. THE BUCKS TRAIN AS OUR FUTURE BASKETBALL STARS The Bucks, our midget basketball team, played some of the most surprising tilts of the year. Their's was a scrappy squad and their games were contests to the last buzzer, providing as many thrills as the bigger, heavier teams. They were neck an l neck with Wasco in their last game, and although they were ahead most of thei time, in the last tw: minutes of play, the game fell to Wasco. As we look at their pictures and recall their games, we can well predict that our future Basketball stars are here. A second thought should be given to Herbert S :itzer for his ability to win his team's confidence and coach them through a creditable season, in spite of this being his first coaching experience, He did an exceptionally good job considering that many of his team had never before played basket- ball. 50 lt's one, two, three strikes and you're out! The grand old game gets under way again at SHS. YOUNG BASEBALL STARS SHOW PROMISE FOR NEXT YEARS' CHAMPS At the time the annual went to press, it was too early to write the outcome of our Wasco-Shatter baseball game: but we can predict a very good c tance of winning. Because the boys that will probably highlight t'ie game are at this time of year competing in track, we couldn't take a varsity team picture. Perhaps you know or can go by other athletics who they will most likely be. There hasn't been a baseball league at Shafter Hi since '41, and there is lots? of interest that will probably bring a big turnout for the team. B lt will be the first time since the colors were cardinal and gold that the Generals will wear base- ball suits. 51 THE TENNIS SEASON AT SHAFTER HI IS A SHORT BUT POPULAR ONE Tennis was a purely intra-mural sport this year, although a match had been scheduled with Wasco, After an inter-class tournament, it was decided that those who were eligible for the team had not enough experience to make creditable showing. Consequently, although there is a fairly large group of tennis enthusiasts who play long and hard, no tennis team was formed and the march with Wasco was cancelled. By next year boys like Don Gaede, limmie Bishop, Bob luneman, and Harvey Reimer, should form the nucleus of a team which can compete inter-school matches. The girls' tournament brought out several strong players, including Cathryn Glenn, Frances Terry, Mari Lou Cwin, Dolores Townsend, Mary Rice, and Mari Olson. Spring weather brings on a yen to play tennis on the spacious courts.

The Freshmen, surprisingly enough won second place with a total of 78 points. Considering that the armed services left the Seniors with very few men, they did well to get third' place with 66 points, with the Sophomo'es last. 54 REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IS THE G.A.A.
