DEDICATIQN In the single year of Drake's existence, we, the senior class of 1952, have been the leaders. We were the first-our footsteps are the ones to be followed by each generation to come. It is for this reason then, that the first graduating class of Sir Francis Drake High School ded- icates its yearbook to the future. We offer this dedication to Drake as a toast in hope, with a sincere wish that the best will come to our school in the future, for our school deserves the best -it is the best. ' A PW hnu...,,n,, , ,, ,W m...,ff 4 L--M1 TO TI-IE CLASS OF 1952 Men are created that they may live for each other. Memories of yester- day have value only to the extent that they lead to greater memories for tomorrow. The counting and recounting of things past without thought of the future is a means of escape from the present used only by those who would rather exist than live. It is with these facts in mind that one should treasure this 1952 edition of the uBuccaneer. It is a book of memories-memories of mutual trials and pleasures during what will be a significant period in the lives of the class of 1952. In years to come, as its pages are turned, long-forgotten scenes and thoughts will he freshened in the mind. However, is is a danger signal if these things he recalled as an end in themselves. The actor who cannot forget how well he performed in the high school play will never aspire to greater and more mature roles. Re- membrance must not stop at actualities, and neglect the dreams and hopes and the spirit behind them. So it is with this hook. Let it not remind you of the past alone, but of the future. Keep your mind ever open, develop yourself by continued read- ing, and seek for truth in the affairs of life in order that the truth may guide you. -CHESTER G.

The first set, which is already growing dim, belongs to the three years we spent at Tam. We began our four years in high school with an orientation meeting in Mead Theatre. Soon after this we elected Mike McCone our first class president, and we made our acquaintance with all of Tam,s traditions such as the Tam News, Mrytle, the Tower Clock, assemblies in the sun in Mead Theatre, Pais, football and basketball games, and the Canteen. We remember our first Big Game, with Tam beating San Rafael 25 to 0. NPeg O' My Heart and 'flunior Missi' were the senior plays. Student body presidents Norm Snellgrove and Virginia Walker presided over assemblies and meetings. The first definite plans for a high school in San Anselmo were started, but the idea of the new school still seemed hazy and unreal. Our sophomore year, under class presidents Danny Johnson and Mike McCone, and student body prexies Weence Lewin and Hal Mooney, was very successful. We Won our second Big Game by defeating San Rafael 7 to 0, and began our pennant-winning basketball season by defeating Vallejo 41-5 to 33. We remember dancing in heaven or the Mother placev at the Junior Prom, 'Tly or Fry. We went to the senior plays, 6'The Late Christopher Bean and uThe Man Who Came to Dinner. Under our new principal, Harry Russell, and class presidents Mike McCone and John Hendricks, We helped make our Junior year uT3.II1,S Big Yearf, We soundly defeated San Rafael 53 to 0 in the Big Game and won second place in the basketball league when we lost a heartbreaking game with Vallejo. We became active in many student body activities under student body prexies Bill Maddox and Dave Chamberlain, and had a very successful Junior Prom, wfhe Cotton Ball? We remember dancing at the Girls' Association dance, '4April in Paris and the unforgettable Letterman dance '6Hawaiian Holiday, laughing at MYou Can't Take It With Youf' 6'Out of the Frying Pan, the Letterman-Faculty game, the Faculty Frolics, and the Senior Farewell. As the year ended, we began to realize how much we would miss everything and everyone at Tam. But in spite of these realizations, we still looked forward to our senior year at Drake. Our second set of memories belongs to another world, our senior year at Drake. We began our last year feeling just as lost as we did when we were freshmen, but we soon learned our way around and in a few weeks the wonderful Drake spirit had been built up with the solving of the many problems that went along with the new and different facilities of our still uncompleted school. With the guidance of student body presidents Mike McCone and Jo Ann Meredith, and class president John Hendricks, we spent much of our time organizing activities, writing and passing con- stitutions, and making traditions. But our senior year wasn't all spent in solving problems, and we had a lot of fun at Drake. The dances were always well attended and we remem- ber the overwhelming success of the MWitches Waltz, the costumes of the uSadie Hawkins Danz and the G'Melody Masquerade, the beautiful decorations at 46Stairway to the Stars and G'Bright Lights of Broadway. We were well entertained at the senior plays, Pink Magicw and uNight Must Fall. Our spirit showed at the basketball games when we yelled for a win- ning team and at our football games when we yelled just as loudly for a losing team. Our last year was Drake's first year and we will always remember how we helped to start all its traditions. FIRST ROW, left to right: Carol Hosmer, Mary Jane Mallett.

It supported Drake in every way possible by participating whole-heartedlyy in school activities. One ol' tne most suecesslul dances of the year was Chinese Honeymoon, on Nlay 3, sponsored by the Sophomore Class under spring president, Warren Levin. At the spring elections, 23 sophomores ran for offices. The number of sopho- mores who signed up for committees also demonstrated how much enthusias the class had for Drake.

No more was it a thing of the far distant future. Now it was some- thing real, and we all were looking forward to September when we would start our work. As We look back in retrospect, we can see that work it has been -hard work. Many problems came up in rapid succession, but were lllet by an eager and cooperative group of students that were willing to sacrifice a little time and effort for the furthering of their dream. Today we can look around and see the fruits of our labor. lt is not a bitter fruit either, for it has a taste of unusual quality and value. That taste is accomplishment. But those who follow us, fand how We envy themj must realize the job isn't complete. They musn't relax, for time does not allow it. They must grab up the torch to carry on and follow through with the job. The keel is complete and through our combined efforts we have tried to make it sound. The hull has yet to be started. The keel is the traditions and standards that we have striven to lav and leave to you to maintain and build upon. Through the problems we encountered came our opportunity to set up what we thought right and good. It was the realization of these that brought out that wonderful quality that saw us through many a dilemma - spirit. The value of spirit cannot be underestimated. It was the predominant factor that held us together in our struggle, and steered this ship through many a storm. Yes, it was this pride that molded us from a teeming mass to a group of individuals who were shoulder to shoulder guiding our course toward success. As the problems mounted, we seemed to rise to each and every occasion. The problems were met with an unprecedented cooper- ation. As each new predicament presented itself, an ominous thought came with it: Woulfl this wonderful spirit of cooperation and willingness subside and our problems get the best of us? However, that problem went by, too, as our spirit seemed to spring eternal and squelch the fear. Yes., Drake has fine traditions and worthwhile goals. Through our toil. our labor, has come our reward. NAS ye sow, so shall ye reap. We have sown deep and true -- our harvest speaks for it- self. Yet again must we sow, and what will be our product? Here is another quandary - can we meet the challenge? Remember, here is a wonderful opportunity, and to ignore it is to destroy all that has gone before. Our harvest speaks for itself and so will yours. Maybe its worth will not show immediately and we will have to be patient. But the passing of the years will bring forth its value. What shall it be? If you who remain have built a solid hull upon a firm keel, the finished product will be truly worth its weight in gold. Then we will be happy, for the greatest joy is accomplishment.

Self Government had a long, hard pull to make it the big success it was through- out the year. Last fall, Ruth Hudgens and Bob .lohuson were faced with the huge task of completely organizing and planning a fair system of self government for the students of Drake. Before the first semester was scarcely begun, the ground- work was finished and the plan was put into effect with the Writing of the self government rules and trial procedure. - Spring Self Government heads Diane lxutner and Richard Crechman did a remarkable job in carrying on the Work so ably begun the previous semester. The first big problem that confronted them was the establishing of a new free seating program at rallies, conducted solely by self government. They no sooner had this method planned and running smoothly than they plunged into a whirl- wind uoff campus clean-up campaign-chalking up another Hmission accom- plishedf' JUDICIAL COUNCIL FALL FIRST ROW, left to right Eunice Cherry, Rich Mul Ier.

With the coming of the football season, the committee put on many Hne rallies, despite the fact that there was no gym or convenient place in which to stage them. This was no obstacle to the committee-rallies were given in the bus area, on the roof of the still-uncompleted 9 7 boys gym, and later in the girls gym. Under these circumstances, three exchange rallies were arranged: one With San Rafael and two with Tamalpais. The committee decorated for school games, first football and later basketball. At the Drake-San Rafael football game, it tried something new in high school half-time activities by using card tricks. The accomplishments of Drake's first rally committee were great, considering the many problems which had to be met.

SPRING The spring Rally Committee, under Carol Kay, took over and carried on the work started by the fall committee and completed the year as well as it was begun. The spring committee continued to give Drake those important pep- building pre-basketball game rallies, and the programs offered were interesting and different. During the remaining part of the basketball season, the committee decorated 'the gym for the home games. By this time, the school song had been chosen through a special election. The committee went on to give us more good rallies as the other spring sports of track, swimming, and baseball took the lead. Through- out the entire semester, the committee continually tried to create more spirit for spring sports by publicizing them more widely. The spring committee finished out its semester by taking part in Drake,s Spring Carnival, Where they sponsored a balloon-shaving booth. SPRING YELL LEADERS PEP BAND -TTT?

Nlemorahle rallies were those in which Tony Patucci, the television comic, and Armand Girard entertained us. The spring Program Committee, headed by .lim Rauch, followed the fool,- steps of the fall group, also doing its part to bring us good programs. A few of the many programs presented were: a Judo exhibition, the C.S.F. program, and the General Electric Program. The committee also presented a tremendous side show at the Spring Carnival.

Like all of Drake's other ufirstsf' the first news staff started the year facing the trying problem of having to create something from nothing, the something being a good school newspaper, and the nothing, a great lack of experience and facilities. Only four members of the staff of twelve had worked on the staff of the Tam News, the parent paper, three of whom, Helen Selinger, editor, Bob Johnson, sports editor, and Dale Lewis, manager, were given staff offices on the new paper. With the guidance of Mrs. Kathryn Martin, journalism advisor, and Mr. Jules Chourre, Tam High print shop instructor, the obstacles of creation were overcome, and throughout the first weeks of school, the staff went about acquainting itself with the news sources around Drake and acquiring paper, type charts, dummies, and every unattached typewriter in the school. An art department storage room was vacated in favor of the newsers, and uOffice 30 was born, the private sanctum of the journalists. On October Sth, the premiere issue of the JOLLY ROGER was presented to the student body, bowing with a two column, bold-face birth announcement on its first page.

Fifteen issues, in all, appeared under the flag of the JOLLY ROGER. They came out in a more-or-less regular bi-weekly pattern, alter- nating with the Tamalpais Newsg each paper was distributed to both Tam and Drake on alternate weeks. During the second semester of its existence, the JOLLY ROGER was again under the edi- torship of Helen Selinger and Bob Johnson, Karolee Peters, a newcomer from a large and talented cub class of the previous semester, was elected manager, and spent the term wrestling with the problems of mailing per- mits and file cards. Members of the news staff also cooperated with Mr. Michael Lopez, out- side publicity director, in providing stories for county papers. Other major activities of the newsers in- cluded attendance at a high school journalism conference in the fall, manning of a booth at the Drake Carnival in the spring, and the pro- duction of the biggest dance in the short his- tory of Drake, the first annual Sadie Hawkins Dance, on November 30th.

SALES AND ADVERTISING STAFF The Sales and Advertising Staffs were faced with a big problem in raising enough money to finance the 1952 BUCCANEER. It was impossible for sales alone to meet the increased costs of outside printing, and advertising solved the problem by bringing in over 3750. While Advertising Sales Manager Loren Mosher and Ad Finance Manager Joy Jaegeling took care of selling and collecting the money for the ads, Ad Layout Manager Pal Peters and his assistants Alan Rudy and Bruce Lauritzen put the ads together. The sales staff, under Fall Sales Manager Bill Whidden and Spring Manager John Hendricks sold all of the BUCCANEERS in a remarkably short time with the help of publicity and posters made by Promotion Manager Bob Sletten.

Although the Honor Crew had much organizing to do this year, under the careful guidance of its president, Ken Croker, it more than held its own in par- ticipating in school activities. Last winter, the club devoted itself chiefly to the raising of money for the scholarship fund by selling refreshments at the football and basketball games. One of the society's big events was its joint formal initiation with the C.S.F. in April. The C.S.F. had to Wait for approval from the University of California before it could be legally installed on March 7. In spite of this handicap, the organization, under presidents Earline Johnson ffallj and ,loy Jaegeling Qspringl , enjoyed a well-rounded program which included several conferences, a booth for the fair, and the joint induction with the Honor Crew. With the help of presidents Sandra Stauffer Cfallj and Charleen Raines fspringl , the Delta Pi Math Club enjoyed many interesting activities. Outstanding in the line of field trips was a tour which the club made of the City College planetarium.

K W RON ROSENHAHN LOUIS RATTO Dick Forster scores touchdowns in Tam-Drake game. : 1 FOG' 1 'BALL ln spite of the excellent coaching of George Corson and Paul Daly, the 1951 football season turned out very disappointingly for the Pirates. The team wound up the season in last place, winning only one game, that with the San Rafael Nlfilitary Academy. Ron Rosenhahn and Louis Ratto were elected co-captains for t evear. The Pirates had only 10 seniors on the team, four of whom had had no ex- perience. The team was also handicapped because it had to practice at the College of Marin because the Drake gym was not ready in time. In the first game the Pirates lost to the Polytechnic reserves, 30 to 0. However. in the second game, the Drake team got its only win of the year, by beating the San Rafael Military Academy, 27 to 7. In the Tam game our old schoolmates beat us, 44 to 13. This was expected because the Indians were a pennant-bound club. Next, the Green and White in- vaded Analy, but the Analy team won, and put Frank DeSouza and Lloyd Salinger out on the injured list for the season. When the Pirates came to the San Rafael game, they lost to the Bulldog team, 12 to 7. On the following week end, the Drake team lost to the powerful Vallejo .Apaches by a score of 43 to 6. In the next two games the Pirates lost to Santa Rosa and Napa. ln the Santa Rosa game they were outclassed by a 41 to 7 loss. In the Napa game the Pirates lost by a score of 53 to 13. In the last game of the season, the Petaluma Trojans beat Drake 13 to 0 in a very exciting game. Although the record of the Pirates' first football season does not look very impressive on paper, actually the team did very well considering its inexperience and other handicaps.

BASKETBALL The Drake varsity cagers had a good season, finishing in a third place tie in the league. John Hendricks, the 4'Blond Bombshell, scored 401 points to have second place scoring honors in Northern California, and top N.B.L. honors. John broke two league records. Mike McCone, Drake's flashy guard, made all-league honorable mention. Bob McGrath, center, John Campbell and Dan Caldwell, forwards, and Graham Morey, guard, all contributed greatly to Drake's cause, and each made a uherov of himself in at least one game. 1 Coach Fitzhenry's boys pulled out in front of the league from the start, and held that lead until meeting Santa Rosa near the end of the season. The year's most disheartening loss was when the Green and White traveled to San Rafael and were topped by nine points. Drake had the consolation of a 24 point win over the Bulldogs, however, in another game. . Drake broke the league scoring record against Analy 72-31, only to see the record rebroken by Vallejo. , J The season was unpredictable and full of upsets. Napa won the championship with a 12 win, 2 loss record. Santa Rosa and Vallejo tied for second with 10 and '4 records, third place went to Drake and San Rafael with records of 8 wins and 6 losses. Fourth spot went to Tamalpais which ended up with a 6 and 8 record, followed by Analy which won 4 and lost 10. Cellar-dwelling Petaluma ended up unvictorious with fourteen losses.

In compiling this record, the little Pirates beat Lowell, Marin Catholic 1' twicel , Tam, San Rafael, Vallejo junior varsity, and Franklin. They lost to Balboa, Hogan, and Santa Rosa.

Although Coach Maher7s Frosh-Soph basketball team had a rather unsuccess- ful season, the boys never abandoned the true Drake spirit. . Offensively, the Pirates relied on the tip-ins of Mike Slavich, the long shots from the corner by Frank U,Ren, and the quick shots of Robert Yim. Defensively, Frank U,Ren, Gino Steflani, and Jim Williams were the stalwarts. The little Pirates won only two games, both against St. Vincent's, but they fought their hardest throughout the season.

As of this date, the team has participated in four meets, losing three of them to St. Ignatius, Santa Rosa, and Sonoma respectively, yet win- ning a tough one against Petaluma. Co-captains for the season were Alan Andersen and Ron Lewis, both seasoned trackmen from way hack. About thirty boys turned out for track and although this turnout was a little thin, the track field not yet completed, the team showed a lot of spirit and determination right from the very start. , High-jumper Andersen tries handstand after clearing bar.

The varsity baseball team started slowly this year, but improved steadily. Al- though the team lost twelve of its first fifteen games, coach George Corson said that the horsehiders would probably end the season with a fifty-iifty record for lfifiglle CI1COl1IltCI'S. At the end of the practice season, Frank DeSousa was the leading hitter with a .400 average. He was closely followed by Earl Ramponi and Milton Hain. Alvin Ramponi was elected captain for his excellent play in center field. The team was composed mostly of juniors with only three seniors. ln addi- tion, there was one freshman and one sophomore, both of whom were pitchers.

The Pirates gained little momentum in their second and third games, falling to Hogan of Vallejo and Franklin of Vallejo by the scores of 10 to 2 and 9 to 0. For a fourth loss, the Bucs fell to Sacred Heart, 4 to 1. The hopes of coach Boh Fitzhenryis boys for a better finish rested on Larry Tracy, Jerry Crewe, Owen Emmet, Tom Orovich, and Keith Fraser.

VARSITY Coach Daly's varsity swimming team has so far done well against very stiff competition. As this book goes to press, the Pirates have swum in four meets, dropping them all by close scores. At the beginning of the season, Drake suffered a huge loss when Butch Hal- linan broke his arm and was out for the entire season. Drake began its season against Lincoln, Lowell and Washington in that order. All three teams edged the Pirates. As far as league competition is concerned, the Pirates were picked to end either first, second, or third. With so much depth, the Green and White was a natural choice. Stars for the Pirates were: freestyle men, Ted Tyon, Larry Johnson, and Bill Cole, breast strokers, Ken Croker and Kayo Hallinan, backstroker, Dick Lawe, and divers, Kayo Hallinan and Louis Ratto.

Paced by Al Giddings and Kayo Hallman, who was later moved up to the varsity, the lightweights crushed their first opponent, Lincoln, 51-11. Then the Little Pirates ran up against Lowell and Washington, each of whom edged the Drakeites by three points. For their fourth meet, the Privateers met Lowell again, and this time, upset the Indians, 39-26. The Drake team was as good as any MBU team in the league, and was the favorite to grab the crown. As this hook goes to press before the league meet, which was held here at Drake, it is impossible to state that outcome. Among those upon whom Drakeis honor rested were: Dan Shillinger, Norm Taylor, Warren Levin, Rod Levin, Dick Walenta, Tom Cowells, and ,lim Wil- liams. 1 , W ,Y f, GULF Y l Dick Forrester, Jerry ul- U---I hm--Hi umm 1 Coach Dick Hart's golf tean1 started the season with only two veteran players, Jerry Swan and John Winton, hut looked promising.

The pages of this, Drake's first-year biography, close with the same promise as do the doors of the school, to open again next fall with even greater pride, quality and spirit. Everyone who knows Drake knows a great school even now, a great cooper- ation and a great spirit. Think then how wonderful is the promise for the future. The BUCCANEER shall grow with Drakeg we shall see it. Therefore may we re-dedicate the 1952 BUCCANEER to-the Future. I07 WE APPRECIATE Putting out a yearbook is never an easy job, but creating one completely ufrom scratchi' is doubly hard. Your 1952 BUCCANEER represents a great amount of time and eHort which was put into it by the editorial, sales, and advertising staffs. The advertising staff, especially, accomplished a great deal in selling and arranging the advertising that has made the BUCCANEER possible. This is the first tilne that advertising has been used in a yearbook in this school district. Even with all the work contributed by the staff, there would have been no BUCCANEER without the help and cooperation of many people. We appreciate most of all the help, understanding and cooperation given to us by our advisor, Mrs. Kathryn Martin. We appreciate our principal, Nlr. Carlisle, who solved innumerable problems for us, and madc many valuable suggestions, and who never said uNo,77 but instead showed us a better way to do things. We appreciate the wonderful pictures taken for us by Mr. J. W. Lagsdin, who did the senior and group portraits, by Bob Hax. who did the school board and many of the sports pictures, and by Mir. George Wheeler, who took the Orchestra, Band, Chorus and Dance Band pictures. And especially, we appreciate the won- derful help and pictures given to us by Mr. Robert Prather and the Photography Department, with special thanks to Mel Dollahite and Dick Grechman. We appreciate all the valuable help and advice from Mr. Earl Evans of the California Art and Engraving Company and Mr. Robert Ozias of Lederer, Street and Zeus. We thank both these companies and the DeLuXe Craft Company, which did our covers, for doing such a wonderful job on the 1952 BUCCANEER. We appreciate the work of Mr. Jules Chourre, who printed the BUCCANEER sales tickets in the Tam print shop and the publicity material mimeographed for us by Mrs. Gertrude Adams and Mrs. Ann Chaponot. We appreciate the co- operation of the faculty during the picture-taking. And finally, we appreciate the generous amount of advertising space bought by those wonderful business people without whom there could have been no 1952 BUCCANEER. -The 1952 BUCCANEER Staff. .
