Go1.ToN ilu iliemnriam For twenty-two years Louis H. Golton was prin- cipal of Sonoma Valley Union High School. It was through his efforts that the high school buildings themselves were constructed. It was under his guid- ance the scholastic rating of the school reached al- most unbelievable heights. He devoted all his time and energies to making his school better in every way-scholastically, athletically and culturally. Mr. Golton's death is a keen loss, but it was typical of the man that he died while returning from a principal's convention where he went to obtain new ideas in education in order that we might benefit. No words of ours can express the gratitude that we feel towards him. or the credit that now is due him. However. we, the Class of 1940. wish to humbly express our sorrow and regret at the passing of Mr. Colton, one of the school's best friends. 5 N The acufty Drwicl A.

IO 1qn jwemoviam I Lillian fgala Cmviani Cfass of 1Ql,l0 I Qqugusi Q, 1958 11 eniot fffemotiea lfolfn visaas ago we were standing on the threshold of a new adventure. We were shy and timid. as all Freshmen are expected to be. However. we survived the initiation from the upper classmen. In our Sophomore year we began to show signs of activity. The boys proved themselves to be promising athletes. XVe continued to hold a good record in our scholastic standing. Our Junior year will be remembered for a long time. It was then that we got our Junior sweaters. This was a definite departure from the usual cus- tom, and met with the approval of everyone except the envious Seniors. One of our most outstanding activities as Juniors was the decorating for the Senior ball. It was acclaimed the best in eight years. Living up to all expectations. we proved ourselves to be above average in athletics-four of our boys made the lirst string of the Northbay League basketball championship team. It was in this year. also. that the Dramatics Class presented the first three- act play to be given in many years. Little XVomen . The beginning of our Senior year was marked by a few minor disturb- ances which may be expected in any class. Despite this. we unanimously agreed on the design for our Senior ring. Due to the efforts of several of the Senior class. the Dragon's Tale was published bi-weekly during the school year. Now we are again facing a new adventure. We are eager to go forth. yet wish to linger. No longer will we have the security of our High School days. We must go on-not as a body. but singly. The opportunity to learn has been ours. but what goal we attain in life will be of our own making. 12 .feniot Opbzion Smell: 'rnis is the year when the census-takers are everywhere collecting their needed information. we decided that here was our chance to do our part.

F. mem- bers. at the nrst semester. seven were Juniors. They are: Fred Bartell, Betty Lfoops, Heloise Dal Poggetto. Helene Jean Holt, lX Iildred King, Allen Mc- Grath, and Margaret Shepard. Besides these seven, Mariam Berger, Maudi Daddi. Robert King, Frances. and Eiko Yamalcawa are on the honor roll. Allen lX 'lCf,il'21lIl'l was chosen as our representative in the state public speak- ing' contset. Fred Bartell was his alternate. Our journalists are June Leveroni. assistant editor of the Classroom XYhisperings 3 Jean Holt. assistant editor of the Dragon's Tale, and jill Shepard, Robert King and Bette Garrison. reporters for the various papers. Under the leadership of our class president. Heloise Dal Poggetto. we successfully had a candy sale and a pompom sale in order to raise extra money for the Senior Ball decorations. The Junior's intrests were defended in the Student Council by Elwood Carmer, Charles Bacigalupi, june l.everoni, Margaret Shepard. Bill Alfonte and Fred Bartell. The Juniors were well represented in sports this year. Ted Hamilton. Fred Bartell. Robert King and Allen McGrath were on the tennis team which won the section championship. George Baumann, Talbert Bean, Martin 0'Brien and Fred Ayres earned their share of points in track meets. There were also many juniors on the baseball and basketball squads. 16 - f .. . .... 4...,.,,... ..... ,, A.. ,L ....h.......,., .A..... , fophomoze glass Fok ALI. the traditions ahout the noisy sophonioresf' this year's students have retained their lfreshinan dignity and proved to he very original besides. On March Sth the cash-hox tinlcled with silver coins as students paid to conie to the annual Sophomore Dance. Strangely enough, girls were paying the coins. It is easily explained though. when we say that the year is 1940. which is leap-year. If anyone was hrolce after that dance, it was a girl, for the girls paid for everything, including' posies and refreshments. The money for the dance was also raised in a way that was new and dif- ferent. The entire student-body paid to attend the entertaining Sophniore .Xmateur Hour during an ,Xssenihly period, and left with a feeling of satisfac- tion after watching' the variety of nunilmers offered. Besides having fun. the scholastic record of the year proves that at least Muriel Shainsky. Hugh firinstead, .Xniy leleiniing, Jean Novelli, Pia Bertel- loti, llarhara Matfei, and llelen Klose studied their lessons. too. The sophomores were ahly represented in the field of sports this year. hoth hy girls and lmoys. Miss l.. Qwens and Klr. l l'eil'lier helped to inalce our guidance periods more interesting' and entertaining. The class was well led hy president llugh Cirinstead. who worked ti 'gether with the other officers. rice-president llarhara Xlaffei. and secretary Pia llertel- lotli, to make his class hetter in every respect. 17 W-,lQ dl 1 'Freshman 61455 ,lllllS YI-LXR, 1930--10, about ninety lireshnien enrolleil in the sehool.

'lihis year the club has shown remarkable progress uncler the guidance of our very active science teacher, Mr. Pensar. The presiclent of the club, Necl Small, has been capably assisted in carrying on our other activities by the other officers, Robert Grin- steacl. lilxvoocl farmer, ancl lfrecl lllartell. These activities have incluclecl busi- ness meetings. projects, ancl helcl trips. ,Xfter our business meetings each XYefl- nesclay night, the members clisbancl to xvorlc iniliviclually or in groups on their projects. These are some of the things we have experimentecl xvith: Electroplating, astronomy, photography, electric eye. lie cletector. alia- toinaceous earth, ancl testing of xvines ancl water. Our activities have also carrieil ns on several Helml trips. On these trips we visited both the Forcl Asseinbly Plant ancl Stanclarrl Oil Refinery at Rich- moncl. Also among the places ive have inspecteil are the Call liulletin anil the San Francisco News. Our air minmlecl scientists probably enjovecl most our jonrney to Hamilton lfielcl. 'llhe purpose of this club is to give the more scientilically minmlccl stnclents a chance to :lo a little experimenting anrl research on their own, anil the mem- bers all feel that they have benetitecl by it. 22 72ztute 72tmet.4 of -Hmetica fXNUTIflER sci-1oo1.ycar has closed, ancl its passing marks the cnrl of a long' chain of events for the Sonoma Chapter of the Future Farmers.

One of the most enjoyable and remembered activities is that of dramatics. Every senior who has acted. sung, danced or even held the prompt book for a school production will probably agree. During our four years we remember seeing on the stage our fellow seniors Pete Ruggeri, Ben Ettelson. XX-lilfred Quartaroli. Louis Pei-a1zo. Claire Carmer, Newton Dal Poggetto and Ella McCarthy. This year Anne of Green Gables upheld the high standard set by last year's record break- ing Little XVomen.'! The four year veterans, Claire Carnier and Ben littel- son, were supported by seniors Newton Dal Poggetto and Iilla McCarthy as well.

It was one of the biggest successes of any show ever presented here. We seniors who took part in the four years of dramatics wish to ex- press our gratitude to the dramatics coaches.

There were four players from last year's championship team and players coming up from the B's and A's reserves from which to form the team. They opened the season by nearly upsetting a highly favored Napa team. but failed in the last fifteen seconds by a mere two points. The team then defeated Healdsburg but dropped a game to Santa Rosa. After the Christmas vacation they began to roll and rang up six straight victories over such strong teams as Sacred Heart and St. Helena. The league season began here with Geyserville which was defeated easily. Cloverdale came next and they also were beaten. The following week the team traveled to Calistoga and there squeezed out a victory after a hard-fought battle, As it then stood the Sonoma Dragons led the league with three victories and no defeats with St. Helena second with two victories and no defeats. The next game was the crucial one and it was then that the chance for another championship was lost. The Dragons opened the game with a burst of speed and ran up an eight point lead. They quickly slowed down and by half time they were be- hind five points, 14-9. They outplayed St. Helena during the second half but were unable to overtake them. The real crisis came when the score was tied at twenty-five all with but two minutes and two seconds of play remaining in the game. A break came for St. Helena and they upset the Dragons to win by one point in the final game of the season. The team was made up of Lloyd Tracey, Louis Perazzo. and Robert Cirinstead at forwards, Alvar Sperring and Marcel Revel at center, Emil Chelini, Newton Dal Poggetto and Marlin Sassenrath at guards. The foul shooting trophy was won by Alvar Sperring, who sank eight out of twelve at- tempts. Marcel Revel was honorary captain of the squad and also high point man with 71 points. Most of the players won their letters. All of the team except Bacigalupi and Sassenrath are seniors so Coach Pfeiffer will find it necessary to build up almost an entirely new team. Even though the outlook is not so encouraging now, we look for another Hue team next year.

The players were inexperienced and inaccurate but showed much speed. After losing several games they broke into the winning column by soundly beating a fast Benecia B team. By this time they had gained the necessary experience and accuracy as well as coordinated teamwork. They opened the league season with an impressive win over Geyserville and then defeated Cloverdale in a thrilling overtime battle 24-22. By winning these two games they were in a tie with Calistoga for the league lead and had a good chance of coming through with the championship. The crucial game with Calistoga came next with the game being played in Calistoga's new home court. Both teams displayed unusual defensive ability which was shown by a 4-3 halftime score and 14-13 finish in Calistoga's favor. The Sonoma B's made a better showing against them than any other team in our section of the North Bay League. They were tripped up by St. Helena but came back strong against To- males and defeated them badly by a score of 21-8. They won three league games and lost two to end up as well as the preceding year's B team which was considered one of the best in the league. The players won their letters which were hard to earn and are well deserved. This year's team shows what can be done by a coach in building up a good team from scratch. Coach Pfeiffer had but one player. Dean Magowan. with any amount of previous experience. Donald Castagnasso, Gillis XVilson, Ato Yamakawa, Earl Reno, George Revel. and Ted Hamilton came up from some thirty candidates and stood out over the rest. Gillis VVilson was honor- ary captain of the B's, and Dean Magowan took high point honors with 62 points. They were all inexperienced but had considerable ability and soon learned how to work the ball around and run up a score. They developed quickly and rounded out into a team of near championship ability. The B's and their coach deserve much credit for the outlook was the darkest in years. making such a fine showing when Sonoma Napa 17 Sonoma 20 Geyserville 15 Sonoma Healdsburg 22 Sonoma 24 Cloverdale 22 Sonoma Santa Rosa 19 Sonoma 14 Tomales 17 Sonoma Ath.

The schools in the new section were nearer the same size and the competition was keener. As usual there were the two separate fall and spring seasons. In the fall the team started out with but two veterans and im- proved to finish in a tie for second in the section race. Newton Dal Poggetto, playing iirst singles and Robert Grinstead playing third singles, won three out of four matches and also their letters. The spring season was highly successful with the Dragons winning all league matches, including victories over Healdshurg, Cloverdale, Calistoga and Analy. Hy virtue of these victories the Dragons won the Section Two title of the North Bay League. The team met Petaluma in the play-off and. although putting up a strong fight, was defeated in all live matches. Members of the team were Louis Perazzo, lirst singles: Newton Dal Poggetto, second singles: Robert Grinstead, third singles: lired Bartell. and Ted llamilton, first doubles: Robert King and .Xllen Mctiratli. second douhles: and Elwood Carmer and Bill Allman, doubles Cfallj. 40 ffocl '15, H .gociety DURINQE THE fall semester the Block Suciety had the honor to be led by one of the best athletes the North ljay League has seen in a lung time, Frank lfreenian. .Fulluxving li'ranlc's gracluation at the halt.

The association with fellows from other schools: the practice of clean competition and good sports- manshipg and the observance of the characteristics of mauliness lend tremen- dous aid in rounding out the character of young manhood. The boys of our school. in exemplifying the traits derived from such activities. measure up favorably to the lads of any school with which we are associated. H. W. CASSADY ANoTH ER YEAR of high hopes. successes and disappointments has passed. XiVhile the senior athletes will soon be looking back on their accomplish- ments with pride, the underclassmeu are looking forward with hopes of sur- passing their records next year. The loss of stellar athletes by graduation will he heavy in all sports this year, but with the usual Dragon spirit and light shown by the undcrclass reg- ulars and reserves, our teams next year should measure up to the standards of the past.
