A ( ■■ 1 COPA DEORO published by the senior class south pasadena - san marino high school, south pasadena, calif, allan maxwell, editor-in-chief rhea leishman, associate editor george lyman, business manager IN APPRECIATION OF THEIR MANY YEARS OF SERVICE TO THIS SENIOR CLASS AND TO THE SOUTH PASADENA-SAN MARINO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, THE CLASS OF 1940 DEDICATES THIS 1940 COPA DE ORO TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN E. ALMAN .... GEORGE C BUSH Mr. Alman ' s happy and ever youthful spirit, his kindness, and his high idealism have made deep and lasting impressions upon us and many hundreds of students who have taken their places in the community, the state, and the nation. Mr. Bush and his great capacity for friendship, his unswerving allegiance to principle and his exceptional ability in school affairs have endeared him in the memory of the thousands who knew him and were inspired by him. Nine months of school activities at the South Pasadena Senior High School have seen several new plans inaugurated. The newest 0 f them — the 1940 Copa de Oro — is presented in the following pages. Formerly yearbooks have always had set stand- ards to follow year in and year out, but the 1940 Copa de Oro staff has attempted to present a new idea in high school annuals. This new idea makes a story book of the annual, and in doing so, intro- duces two characters who play the leading roles In this drama of school life. They are two typical students shown in their years of high school life — entering as freshmen, meeting their classmates, and experiencing all the other events that high school life offers. The staff hope that in presenting the 1940 Copa de Oro their readers will feel that there has beer FOREWORD presented not only an accurate and truthful picture in all its phases, but that it has also caught and preserved for years to come many fond memories of the school days of 1939-1940 CHAPTER I They Enter School Campus pictures, classrooms Advisers, Teachers CONTENTS f CHAPTER II [ X-Oy i U-t -- - They Meet the Students 7 y J yl( .gL t.

The first glimpse of their new school home is given to them as they walk up the broad expanse of walk, surrounded by ver- dant green grass, and see the main build- ing of SPHS in its setting of tall palms flanked by modernistic structures, making it an inspiration to the student to do his best work for his alma mater. In April of 1907 this edifice, built for the furtherance of public education, was finished and occupied by the first SPHS student body under the guidance of a faculty of five members. Throughout the years the building has stood staunch, brav- ing change, storm, and stress. Filled today with many new faces, and surrounded by new structures, it stands as a monument to the desires of the thoughtful citizens of South Pasadena and San Marino. v - At the beginning of the I939-IV40 term forty teachers comprised the faculty. At this time five new teachers became members of this faculty, guiding the destinies of the students and replacing the teachers who had not returned. They included Miss Catherine E. Dodge, from Needham, Massachusetts, who was an exchange teacher with Miss Margaret Lauer for a year; and Miss Hanna Dyste, science and mathematics teacher, Mr. Russell Adams, mathematics and athletics instructor. Miss Thelma K. Beggs, girls ' physical education teacher, and Miss Vera N. Thomas, English instructor. Next the students go on to view the campus that Is to be their daytime home for the next three years. On they go to make new friends, meet new people, and take up studies In new fields of endeavor. In 1934 three new buildings were added to the SPHS campus replacing older structures which had grown obsolete and of these three the mechanical arts build- ing is perhaps the least kn own. Shown here, at the right, is a view of the main entrance to this building, as the late afternoon sur- wove patterns of the tree branche- above it and of the lettering on the building. their advisers Campus tours completed, the new students, including our typical boy and girl, make their way to the main offices, there to meet their advisers and plan their programs. Heading the South Pasadena school system was Mr. George C. Bush, superintendent. His long years of effi- cient service to the school made it outstanding among the schools of the nation. Mr. John E. Alman is the name of the man who, from 1920-1940, guided the destinies of the South Pasadena High School, as its principal. Always eager to see SPHS progress, he continually gave sympathetic consideration of the desires of the students, always striving for the betterment of the school. Assisting in the affairs of the Boys ' and Girls ' Leagues, and caring for program arrangements and other needs of the students are the advisers. Miss Jessie T. Oldt, dean of girls, and Mr. Elmer J. Erickson, former vice-principal and temporary principal. The students come Into close contact with these two frequently and get to know them. With programs made out and approved, the new students go to their first classes, all of them taking sophomore English, which Is a required sub- ject for graduation. A plan that is now two years old, that of learning school songs and patriotic airs in these classes has been acted upon again this year In an effort to mold the students into better citizens of school, home, and country. In the view above is seen Miss Catherine Dodge and her sopho- more class singing the Alma Mater of South Pasadena High School. In the remaining pictures are shown the SPHS English teachers at their work of guiding the stu- dents toward a cultural understanding of modern life. At the top are Mr. Elmer hi. Crook, annual ad- viser. Miss Madge Hill, and Miss Martha Borncamp. Below them are Miss Rebecca Haysllp, head of the English department, Miss Edith Waterman, Miss Vera Thomas, and Miss Catherine Dodge. To them is assigned the task of teaching sophomore and senior English, American and World literature, com- position, gancrai reading, and journalism. Visual education has become a much-used means of increasing the effectiveness of the curriculum during the last year at SPHS and many incoming students find their teachers making use of the available facilities. These consist of the visual arts auditorium and the 16mm motion picture sound projector, which was purchased in 1939, shown below and is new run under the direction of Mr. Ronald James. Mr. A. Paul hluntington, history teacher and director of the ensemble, has motion pictures as his hobby and is the proud possessor of his own home projector. In the history department of South Pasadena, in addition to the aforementioned Mr. Huntington, ere Miss Bertha C. Moore and Miss Myrtle Farrar who are shown here resting from Instructing their classes In the study of United States and Modern European history. Next on this page are the pictures of Miss Amy R. Foote, public speaking and dramatic teacher, who advises the Peter Pan Players and Senate Club, and Miss Elizabeth Hoag. who has made the Latin language familiar to SPHS students. Miss Archine Van Norden. who teaches art and history, is pictured here in her art room. Completing the page is the chairman of the visual aids group of the faculty, Mr. Ronald James, shop instructor who is shown here in class. Bringing to a close twenfy-seven years of teaching service at South Pasadena Senior High School, be- loved history teacher Miss Bertha Moore announces her retirement at the end of this year to a life of quiet and leisure. A native of New Jersey, Miss Moore was educated in private schools and the Pratt Institute of New York City, completing her graduate work at the University of Southern California. She plans a summer vacation through the Pacific Northwest with her father, after which she has no particular plans other than a life of quiet in her home at tl 34 Mound Avenue where she lives with her father. Her charming old home which she bought a year ago has been remodeled extensively to suit hp-- own taste. I cx!i- 0 ' ,rcrv.d- card AQ V files, y At the right here is pictured the school library, home of stu dent research, where the card catalogues, pamphlet t Readers ' Guides, and browsing - tT room are available to the stu- j| « ijr 6 dents who desire a quiet place 1 - ' v in which to study. v r In the next group of pictures are Miss Hope L. Potter, school librarian; Mr. Charles H. Mon- roe, mathematics teacher and Hi-Y adviser; Mr. James Car- penter, mathematics instructor and golf coach; Miss Lorraine Davis, clothing and foods teach- er; Mr. Roland R. Taylor and Mr. Russell H. Adams who teach mathematics and aid in athletic coaching; and Miss Hester Lauman. art instructor helping her art students. 11 A science course is required of all students before graduation while commercial subjects are taken by many pupils to aid in future years. The teachers of these subjects appear on this page. Mr. H. Guy Wood is shown as he directs his assist- ants in the work of keeping the accounts and finances of student activities of the school in good order; Mrs. Lucille M. Linn is pictured overseeing the intricacies of typewriter operation in one of her classes; and Mrs. Helen D. Orsborn is seen amid the wealth of biological material in her laboratory. Mr. James J. Jennlson is photographed between the sessions of his physics classes, and Mr. Arthur H. Bothe chemistry teacher, is shown working in his lab. Shown in her laboratory in the academic building is Miss Hanna Dyste, biology instructor. Our mythical students seem to find special interest in these subjects and linger some time over the physics laboratory which is pictured below. Some of the most interesting experiences in all SPHS life are had in this and other school labs. IfSlffB The popular language courses of Span- ish and French each year enroll an increas- ing number of interested students. These subjects are taught by Miss Mary E. Nash (Spanish), Miss Nadia Tupica (Spanish) Miss Mildred Price (French and Spanish), and Mrs. M. Olwen Pettit (French). Miss Price is in charge of all language depart- ments. In the photographs below are Mrs. Barbara Royce, former office clerk in the main office and Miss Edith Kearns, secre- tary to the principal; and. Miss Betty Lathrop, secretary to the dean of girls and vice-principal and Miss Jane Hobensack, new clerk. In charge of the mechanical arts courses are Mr. Ben R. Henry, print shop and mechanical drawing instructor, and Mr. Edgar Jacobs, wood shop teacher. As they go about their daily duties In charge of their departments they are pictured below, completing the pictures on this page. At opposite ends of the South Pasadena campus are the nnodernistlc music rooms, and the gymnasiums of the girls and fellows. In the former building are the rooms of Mr. Albert J. Adams, who teaches music and leads the Boys ' Glee Club; Miss Marjorie Brown, who leads the Girls ' Glee Club and teaches music; and Mr. Charles A. Mendenhall, instructor for the fine school band. Directing the broad program of physical education for the girls are Miss Ruth E. Dix, and Miss Thelma K. Beggs, pictured at the right. Below them are boys ' coaches, Harry A. Swart and C. Merrill Green, who lead the boys ' gym classes and coach inter-school sports. And so our students conclude their tour of the cam- pus. They have met their teachers, and launched upon a program of studies and activities which are offered at South Pasadena Senior High School. The next step in the high school life of the students will be meeting their classmates who will be their co- workers for three years. 14 •jrE PriliE fti ENTS Walking through the corridors with mem- bers of the lower and upper classes, the new students soon become a part of the congenial atmosphere that prevails at South Pasadena. At the first of the school year they attend the elections of the class officers. These elec- tions are run by the students, the nominations being made from the floor in individual class meetings. A week of intensive campaigning follows, concluded by a ballot vote. This year the sophomores elected Carl Long to serve as president of their class. The junior and senior classes elected Bob Andrews and Amos Schwartz, respectively, as their presidents. The freshman class election was held in the middle of February, and the returns showed William Yamanaka, president. Both the lower and upper classmen have advisers, members of the faculty, to direct the numerous class activities. Miss Jessie T. Oldt, and Mr. Elmer J. Erickson, are advisers to the new Incoming freshmen each year. The sopho- more class has as their adviser Mr. Arthur hi. Bothe, while Mr. A. Paul Huntington is adviser to the junior class, and Mr. Albert J. Adams, Is senior class adviser. Senior class officers are Howard Wright, vice-president; Eleanor Thomson, secretary; John Lamoreaux, treasurer: and Dick Sheahan, yell leader. 15 wv, reshmen Top Row: R. Long, B. Hail, B. Craig, C.

No matter in what field or subject one is interested, there is an unlimited number of activities. Participation in the various activities of the many clubs and other groups around school is fun not only for the student himself, but for the others with whom he works. Boys and gi:ls find that by giving service to their school, there comes the feeling that they are not merely students attending a school, but a vital, living part of it: they are not sitting back and merely receiving the benefits, but are giving the benefit of their time and efforts to many others. Our boy and girl find it a little confusing to know just where to begin in this matter of service. They discovered that it was best to pick out that activity in which they were most interested and then set forth. For those interested in working with scenery, stage sets, and general management of the auditorium, there is the efficient stage crew. If one en- joys books and reading the library helpers group always need willing workers. The Tiger staff and the print crew provide an everlasting field of interest for those who lean toward the newspaper line. The Red Cross Council, to which membership is by election, is constantly striving to do its part toward the far-away goal of world friendship. Cafe- teria workers, who are part of the National Youth Administration, capably assist the cafe- teria management in the serving of students ' lunches. The Bengals, an honorary service club, usher at all school functions and enter- tainments held in the school auditorium and do their part to maintain order and efficiency. If you have a flair for mathematics, the com- mercial office and bookstore cashiers would like to have your help in keeping the student body funds on the right side of the red line. These are only a few of the many organiza- tions devoted to service, and our boy and girl realize that South Pasadena High School, with their co-operation, can keep up the fine record for service it has always had. 44 .

Those taking part were Betty Arthur as Mrs. Wood, Lawrence Mitchell as Dr. Wood, Fran Thurman as Penny Wood, Bob Jordan as Roger Van VIeck, Bob Daigh as Mervyn Roberts, Margaret Pfeiffer as Milly Lou, Roger Barnard as Mr. Harris, Tom Baxter as Chuck Harris, Barbara Bruck as Julie Harris, Howard Cheverton as Elmer Tuttle, Norma Calkins as Effie, Bob Sands as Ralph Wentworth, and Eleanor Thomson as Shirley Went- worth. It was attended by one of the largest crowds ever to see a South Pasa- dena senior play and was pronounced to be a decided success. The production was under the capable direction of Mr. Henry Kehler, a graduate of South Pasadena High School, class of 1932, and Roger Barnard, acting as student director. The stage set was constructed by the stage crew, under the direction of Mr. Edgar Jacobs, and stage decoration was handled by Miss Hester Lauman, art teach- er. Katharine Larkin took charge of public- ity for the play. 47 service The Boys ' Council, which deals with the prob- lems of the boys in the school, consists oi three seniors, two juniors and two sophomores who serve for a term of one year. Mr. Elmer J. Erickson, ad- viser of the group, instituted the council in 1938. A boy and a girl from each class are elected to serve on the Red Cross Council, which endeavors to carry on Junior Red Cross work and implant ideas of world friendship and peace in the minds of the students. The World Friendship banquet is given for this purpose each year by the combined Red Cross Council, Social Service Committee of the Girls ' League, and the World Affairs Com- mittee of the Boys ' League. This banquet is usually a great success and does its part to help preserve a feeling of peace for the nations of the world among the students. This year Bill Davis was chair- man of the Red Cross Council, and Katharine Jenkins served as secretary. The Campus Committee, under the direction of Bob Jordan, assisted by Bob Sands and Nora Mashburn, worked for a cleaner and more attrac- tive campus for this high school. Top Row; G. Young, D.

One of the most exclusive and desired clubs they will want to join is the Scholarship Society, which is composed of those students who have superior grades. The largest organization is the Allied Youth, whose aim is to further the knowledge of the harmful effects of alcohol. To provide a practical and useful knowledge of Latin, Spanish, and French there are the three outstanding Language Clubs, the Comes Club, El Club Galdos and Le Cercle Francais. South Pasadena ' s honorary organization is the Bengals, who are chosen on the basis of their work for the school. If our students have an interest in singing, they are eligible for the Boys ' or Girls ' Glee Club. An Interest In musical instruments leads to membership In the band. To Interest pupils further in public speaking there is the Senate Club. The Art Club will interest the student if he Is at all interested In painting, sculpture, or de- signing. To keep the library running smoothly is the El Dorado Club. The Hl-Y ' s, sophomore, junior, and senior chapters, are sponsored for high school boys by the YMCA and Mr. Claude Lashbrock. The sister organization is the Tri-Y for girls of all classes in high school. 60 scholarship society One of the most exclusive and sought after clubs at South Pasadena High School is the Scholarship Society.

They turned back the pages of history as they dressed in true Roman fashion and ate the food with their fingers while sitting on couches. The first-year students acted as slaves to the second, third, and fourth-year students. The ceremony consisted of the procession of the costumed students and the sacrifices to the immortal Gods. The crowning of their masters by the slaves, the prayer to Bacchus, the singing of The Boar ' s Head Song by the slaves and the male chorus climaxed the program. Another Important activity of the year was the initiation (Upper Picture) held in October. It consisted of a supper with various forms of enter- tainment. The projects made this year, which were submitted as they are every year by the second year students, after being displayed during Open House, were put Into the Latin project room, which Is the store-room for these replicas of the Roman civilization. Under the able direction of Miss Elizabeth Hoag the club continued Its many accom- plishments. Officers for this year were Adra Merrill, president; program chairman, Emily Lytle; Ruth Maxwell, secretary; Jack Guinn, treasurer; and historian.

A trip to the picturesque San Gabriel Mission was made earlier in the year. The group enjoying this excursion had dinner at a Spanish cafe. Besides the above activities a pot luck supper was held in the art room after one of the regular monthly meetings. Having charge of the May Day concessions was one of the most im- portant and successful activities carried on by the club. The club had charge of the selling of lemonade and flowers. The successful year may be attributed to the adviser, the officers, and the committee chairmen, who worked strenuously to make this an interesting and profitable year for the members of the club. Miss Hester Lauman, art instructor, was the adviser for the club. Frances Johnson filled the office of president. Gloria de Gaston was vice-president, Betty Cruikshank served as secretary, and Joan Hodgeman was the club ' s treasurer.

When being considered for membership in this organization the following things are taken Into consideration: willingness to serve, leadership, cooperation, and initiative. This year Frank Hart served as president of the organization assisted by Keith Dahle who filled the office of vice-president. Shirley Wilson served as secretary and Carol Henry, being treasurer, cared for the finances. Miss Hester Lauman ably served as club adviser. The organization performs many deeds of service for the school during the year. Among the most notable of the things that the Club does is to usher for the various school events. Outstand- ing In the list of Bengal 1940 activities was their annual school dahool dance held in February. This year, since the theme was The Circus, the girls ' gym was accordingly decorated and students danced under the big top amid ferocious animals, circus barkers, pop corn stands, and pink lemonade dirkers. 82 Their inftlal season of competition in the San Gabriel Valley League in the books, most South Pasadena athletic squads can look back on a successful season. The typical boy had the chance of being on five championship teams. Coach Green ' s sensational basketball group won the league title, Coach Carpenter ' s tank squad won the championship of every weight class, and Coach Swarfs varsity tennis aggregation won decisive loop triumph on the courts. Not only did Espee athletes participate in SGVL competition, but the typical students saw them in a number of noted Southern California tournaments. The Tiger Varsity quintet won the La Verne Basketball Tournament. The Tigerkit basketeers entered the Montebello Tourney, and the South Pas baseballers entered the Pomona Tournament. Coach Taylor sent a number of entries to the Long Beach Relays, the Chaffey Relays, and the Brea-Olinda Invitational Meet. Espee racketeers competed in famous Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament, while the Tiger Mermen swam in the L. A. High Invitational Meet. The students of SPHS see bright prospects for future athletics here with the completion of the new grand stand, a new gym In the offing, and the construction of a regulation track.

Only a few minor changes were effected In the regular South Pas coaching staff during the l939- ' 40 season. As usual Harry A. Swart coached varsity football and tennis. C. Mer- rill Green nnentored Bee football, varsity basketball, and varsity baseball. James R. Carpenter tutored the Bee basketeers, the tank squad, and the golfers for the season. Arthur ' Doc ' Bothe directed the efforts of the Cee and Dee hardwooders and the JV nine. Roland R. Taylor assisted Coach Green during the Bee football season and was head- man to the spikesters. Russell Adams assisted Coach Swart with the varsity gridders, and aided Coach Taylor during the cinder season. The student managers all fulfilled their duties capably. Yell-leaders Bob Thompson and Bud Nor- ton were two of the best and peppiest yell- leaders ever developed at South Pas. Between them they covered all the basketball and foot- ball games. nr w F.

Carleton Carver ably alternated at the left flank hole. Dave Porter played heads up ball In his right tackle slot while Jack Rufer displayed plenty of fight on defense from the same position. Holding the right guard position, Bill Bilheimer played a large part In the team ' s success. Trading with him was Eddie Tufts whose hard-charging will make him one of the key men in next year ' s varsity. At the pivot post, Franklyn Tibbetts and Bud Boettlger divided the honors of anchoring the center of the line. Rangy Irving Johnson and doughty Bob Wing fulfilled their assignments on the left side of the line at running guard position. Hav- ing the distinction of requiring no substitute. Gene Hargett held the left tackle spot, while Ken Donnelly worked the left and Gene Young the right wing. Pulling the team out of many a tight place by his passing was George Dickson at quarterback, while Jack Packard ably captained the team from the same spot. In the wing back position Irving Searl used his speed to good advantage to gain the much-needed yards. Muscular Bob Moore proved his ability at left half with his running, passing and kicking, which made him a triple-threat man. Kay Holcomb is another half whose position of blocking back strengthened this year ' s offense. Also at blocking half was Jack Broe- rlng whose graduation will hurt the team. Noted as a broken field runner, John Dollen was also a fleet-footed half. Bone-crushing Bill Caspers was out- standing as the fullback who was always good for the much-needed yard- age. Reserve for the same position was John White as a good prospect for first string next year. HHH Top Row: Sands (mgr). Davis, Wilkinson. Williams. Ringstrom. Lyite. Lord. Peterson, Parilla.

Carpenter, were successful in defeating the league champions, Montebello; but they were not strong enough to hold their own against the also-ran basketeers who made the final tabulation even up in games won and lost. Covina was a two time loser, but P.J.C. Frosh twice proved themselves too hard a nut to crack. Commencing their season of 24 games slowly, the Bengal babes soon warmed up under the strain of competition of league and practice games to acquit themselves very creditably in the league of 12 games which represent a double round of contests. Harry Barrington and Arnold Otis, respectively, headed the C and D squads. Showing themselves strong against Covina and Monrovia, the Bothemen finished with a net score of 4 won out of 9 played. Mr. Bothe ' s D proteges proved themselves more capable than their bigger brothers by capturing 5 of the 8 games in which they participated. Upper right photo. Bee squad.

The Bengal Bees and Cees faired better, however, losing only one league fracas, as both squads snagged showed money at the end of the season. Six all-time school marks collapsed under the steady assault of Coach Taylor ' s proteges: one vars- ity, three Bee, and two Cee records were ruined. Dave Merrill broke the varsity record by leading 44 ' 51 2 in the hop, step, and jump event. Bob Andrews shattered the Bee shot put distance with a heave of 49 ' 9 , Al Buffington ran the 1320 in the record time of 3:26.9, while Toshio Odano joined the record smashing contingent by broad jumping 20 ' 4 . Cee Donovan Davis established a new century time of 10.6 as his teammate, Dick Vanderhoof, vaulted to a new high of I I ' 6 . Varsity performers who rate recognition are Bob Compton, Bill Dewey, George Varnum, Charles Lytle, Howard V right, Ken Donnelly, and Kay Holcomb. Standouts in the Bee ranks are Harry Davis, Dick Haverstock, Ned Long, Evan Goltra, Don Harnish, Bob DeWeese. Cees were Don Lawson, Dick Gerheart, Jack Bradford, and George Kinkle deserve credit for their efforts. baseb With only one returning letterman as a nucleus, Coach C. Merrill Green built a squad of green re- cruits into a snnooth functioning nine during the season. Although the schedule was inconnplete as the Copa de Oro went to press, the Tigers were fairly sure of second money in the SGVL with the possibility of a tie with Covina for first place in the offing. Tom Klpp and Clarence Pud Parmenter alter- nated on the mound for the Bengal nine, hurling high grade ball most of the season .Tom Fleischmann was the man behind the iron mask, while Bill Harper and Dick Gehle traded off on the keystone sack. Jack McNevin handled second base, Dick Schat- tinger filled the short post, and Frank Stunden played the hot corner. In the outfield Louis Spence, Toshio Odano, Kenny Galpin, and Eddie Tufts saw service regularly. The Tigers entered the annual Pomona baseball tourney, advancing to the quarter finals with vic- tories over Santa Monica and Redlands. Lack of ex- perience was the Tigers greatest handicap as they lost more than one contest on errors. It was the first year of varsity ball for most of the boys. Top Picture. Top Row: R.

Displaying the same power that has made Coach Harry Swart ' s Tiger net outfits noted in Southern California, the 1940 edition swamped all San Gabriel Valley League com- petition to walk off with an easy loop triumph. The Tigers won every match by lopsided scores, and managed to shut out one of their opponents. Kenny Wilson, a sophomore, han- dled the number one singles position through out most of the circuit campaign, while Tom Norton capably filled the second place. Ned Chapain and Franklyn Tibbetts teamed to- gether to form a formidable combination in the first doubles slot. At the second doubles Frank Hart and Jack Bradford showed strength. The Swartmen entered the CIF play-offs following their decisive league victory, but it was impossible to determine their standings before the deadline. The Junior Varsity had just opened their season at press time. golf activity The South Pasadena High Varsity golf team enjoyed moderate success throughout their 1940 link campaign under the able direction of Coach James R. Carpenter and Roland Taylor. Bill Cutler, a veteran from last season, led the Tiger aggregation into action as number one man most of the year, while Dave Porter, another letterman clubbed his way into the second place. Kelly Boisot was the third man, and completed the locals low scorers, a group that shot 80 or under steadily. Bill Bergstrom, John Ukropina and John Harris were the other Espee regulars, and carded low 80 ' s in several league matches. .r % % Upper left picture: Cutler and Boisot stand by as Dave Porter puts.

Carpenter ' s tank squad made a clean sweep of the San Gabriel Valley League competition by -finishing first in every class. The varsity wound up the league season undefeated as did the Espee Cee swimmers, while the Bees lost only to Pasadena. Ray Ishii, a breast stroker and individual medley man, was probably the most outstanding performer on the South Pas crew. He completely outswam all his opponents throughout the circuit season, and took a first in the LA High Invitational. Other outstanding varsity men were, Ken Mooney, 220 artist, Bill Caspers, free style, Carl Last, back stroke. Bud Boettiger, diving, Andy Armstrong, backstroke. Bottom picture: B. Boettiger, B.

A varied program of social and school activities was sponsored by the ' S ' Club during the year, while the members of the NAS Club remained more or less inactive. Executive posts in the ' S ' Club were filled by John Dresser, president. Jack Broering, vice-president, Clarence Parmenter, secretary, while Coach C. Merrill Green capably handled the advisory duties. First on the Club schedule was an initiation of new members which was held at Cliftons cafeteria In Los Angeles. A dance at the Blltmore Bowl was successful to a large degree, in Feb- ruary while the club also sponsored an assembly in March, and obtained and exhibited motion pictures of big league games at the opening of the baseball season.

(rHflii; -ENTpRl ll ETI I To omit sports from a typical girl ' s school program would be like talcing the basket away from basketball. Under the friendly guidance and capable leadership of Miss Ruth Dix and Miss Thelma Beggs, instructors, girls of South Pasadena receive benefits from sports which are necessary ingredients for a well rounded personality. In the group sports which include volleyball, hockey, speedball, basketball, and baseball, the girls, our typical student included, learn team spirit, good sportsmanship, cooperation, and dependability. Individual sports also give varied opportunities to all girls. With tennis, badminton, riding, golf, ping-pong, swimming, tumbling, and dancing being offered every girl student can develop some skill which will give her hours of enjoyment and recreation not only during her high school years, but also in the important future. The schedule of sports events during this year has been well rounded, well planned, and very interesting: Including intra-mural play days, spreads, and programs. For the success of these events, special credit should be given to the sport managers who have worked so hard to keep the events alive and full of fun. Then to round out this grand program we have had, to keep the spirit sparking, three attractive and ex- tremely likable cheer leaders, namely Thelma Artz, Connie Mosher, and Fran Thur- man. And so with all this and more too, how could our typical girl resist participation in the sports of our high school? ' J, The Girls ' Physical Education depart- ment has been ably supervised by Miss Ruth E. Dix and Miss Ihelma K. Beggs, under whose competent direction the girls have enjoyed an active year of athletics. Miss Dix and Miss Beggs net only instructed during school hours but also supervised the after school games and extra-curricular activities. Fran Thurman, Connie Mosher, and Thelma Artz have concluded their year of inspirational yell and song leading, setting an excellent example of team work. %X. - clubs, managers The Girls ' Athletic Association has completed a very successful year with NA ' inlfred Roberts as the president, sup- ported by the G.A.A. Board. The offi- cers and managers were: Standing: Miss Dix, adviser; Joan Fal- coner, vice-president: Winifred Roberts, president; Esther Hall; Rhea Leishman. secretary. Sitting. Row 3: Dorothy Cline; Catherine Allan, treasurer. Row 2: Dorothy Davidson, Barbara Adams. Front Row: Priscilla Harvey, Dorothy Doerr, Annabee Small, Grace Parks. This year ' s officers of the S. P. Club were Betty Hill, president, and Donna Labadie, secretary-treasurer, with Miss Thelma Beggs as the adviser. Row 3: Carol Henry, Miss Beggs, ad- viser, Joan Falconer, Dorothy Cline, Margery Cline, Esther Hall. Row 2: Winifred Roberts, Barbara Thompson, Margaret Pfeiffer, Betty Hill, president; Donna Labadie, secretary-treasurer; Dorothy Davidson, Betty Cockle. Front Row: Nora Mashburn, Margery Leeds. team sports During daily gym periods the girls participated in the team sports, which were volleyball, hockey, speedball, basketball, and baseball. The G.A.A. sponsored after-school games which were played during their respective seasons, with the average season continuing for about seven weeks, during which time each gym period, represented by a team, competed for the championship against teams from other periods. At the close of each season a banquet was held in the school cafeteria where the an- nouncements were made concerning the win ning after-school team and the varsity. Varsi- ties are composed of the girls of outstanding athletic ability and sportsmanship who are chosen by the captains of the after-school teams. A manager is in charge of each sport. Her duty is to arrange the game schedules, repair and keep equipment in order, manage the spread for her sport, and take responsibilities on the G.A.A. Board. Baseball with Dorothy Cline as manager is also one of the team sports but this season occurs too late to include a summary. % i t V; vo lieyball Top picture, left to right. Top Row: Rob- erts.

The girls were grouped Into A and B teams according to their ability and competed with teams of equal skill during after-school games. The crowning glory of the volleyball season was the varsity vs. faculty game, a thriller which the varsity won by a wide margin. The A varsity consisted of Dorothy Cline, Priscilla Cunningham, Dorothy Davidson, Joan Fal- I coner, Barbara Holley, Betty Hill, Carol Kelley, Jean MacDougall, and Winifred Roberts: while the B varsity was Mary Murrell, Ruth Williams, Emma Bird, Elinor Carpenter, Ruth Crittenden, Ma- tilda Mazzetti, Elizabeth McClung, and Doris McLane. Under the direction of Kitty Lou Welter a very successful field hockey season was carried on with a large turnout. One of the year ' s outstanding events was the hockey playday held at Griffith Park with about nine other schools. The hockey varsity consisted of right wing. Marguerite Cline; right Inner, Kathryn Chubbuck; center forward, Margaret Pfeiffer: left inner, Ramona ZuTavern: left wing, Ruth Williams: right half, Winifred Roberts; center half, Betty Hill: left hall Caro ' Henry; right fullback, Joan Falconer: left fullback, Margery Leeds; goal-guard, Elaine Hogan. basketball Top Row: Hall, Spofford.

The largest spread in the school ' s history took place at the close of the season, after which the alumnae versus the new varsity game was played. It was a thriller, in spite of the score, 27 to 6, in the varsity ' s favor. The varsity consisted of guards. Donna Labadie, Rhea Leishman, and Betty Hill; forwards, Wini- fred Roberts, Ann Dorland. and Joan Falconer. The B championship team was chosen from those girls who participated on the B teams. They were: guards. Kathryn Chubbuck, Dorothy Pierce, Vir- ginia Garland; forwards, Emma Bird, Virginia Anderson, and Ruth Williams. Speedball season, managed this year by Dorothy Davidson, is fast becoming the most popular of all sports. Because of our gym teachers ' excellent instruction, our speedball teams are dreaded opponents at playdays. The varsity was composed of Barbara Adams, left end; Dorothy Cline, left inner; Biddy Pfelffer, center forward; Beverly Hassett, right inner; Margery Cline, right end; Kathryn Chubbuck, left half; Winifred Roberts, center half; Betty Cockle, right half; Joan Falconer, left full, Betty Hill, right full; Esther Hall, goal-guard. 104 individual sports In addition to the team sports, the girls of SPHS are offered ample opportunity to par- ticipate in individual sports which include tennis, riding, golf, dancing, and swimming. Not only are these sports constructive recreation but they also provide fun and enjoyment In school and social activities. Tennis. Under the management of Dorothy Doerr, tennis had a very successful year as one of the outstanding sports. In class expert instruction was offered the girls by Miss Beggs while other activities include a ladder tournament and the Live Oaks Tournament. The South Pasadena girls have a reputation of excellent tennis playing, which makes them threats at the invitational tournaments. The tennis varsity was chosen from the leading doubles team and the champion singles players of the Live Oaks Tournament. Riding. For those girls interested in riding, two afternoons a week were set aside when approximately eight advanced and ten beginning riders went to the Arroyo Seco Stables, where under the advisorship of Miss Dix and the management of Priscilla Harvey an enjoy- able afternoon is spent. As extra activities the members of the riding club were competitors in a horse-show late in May, while in June a supper ride was held. Members of the riding varsity, girls who are superior horse-women, were those girls who successfully passed the varsity test. Golf. Golf, under the management of suddenly became one of the most popular recreations having a turn-out of thirty-five girls. On Friday afternoons ten advanced and twenty-five beginners went to the Brookslde Golf Course where the beginners received instruction from a professional teacher and the advanced players progressed individually. Dancing. Dancing, a new recreation in the school, was enthusiastically received among the gir.sl An after-school group of approxi- mately thirty girls met on Thursday afternoons with Miss Beggs for the purpose of learning grace and poise through dance. Modern and interpretive dancing were taken up, some- times using costumes made by the assistance of the sewing classes. Swimming. The refreshing sport of swim- ming was well managed by Dorothy Hawes, with Miss Dix as adviser. Once a week after school, the girls visited the YWCA plunge at Pasadena Top Row, left to right: Neal, Egan, Thurmon, M. Cline, Yates, Wood, Falconer, Roberts.

Our typical students found a great deal of enjoyment in the big school dances this year as well as in the noon dances which were started in February. The evening dances were the Girls ' League Premier dance, the Lil Abner dance sponsored by the Boys ' League, and the Circus dance held by the Bengals. The climax of the year was the annual Junior-Senior Prom, put on by the junior class for the graduating seniors. The dance is a traditional affair at SPHS. Sitting in the deeply upholstered assembly seats our boy and girl enjoyed a varied program each week. The as- semblies ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous with the numerous skits typifying the latter. There were National assemblies on science, clay work, and deep sea diving, letter assemblies sponsored by the S Club, a student talent show , and programs featuring the musical organizations of the school. Vacations provided a needed rest and stimulus to the minds of the typical student and his way of spending these vacations, usually at the beach, are vividly portrayed in this section. Bathing beauties and monsters of the deep can be seen in the candid camera section. In this chapter then will be found a complete record of the activities of the typical students as they are enjoying themselves away from their classrooms. marching wi th time ,_j I ] Registration, September 18 ( 2 ) Boys ' physical eiamination ( 3 ) Color day ( 4 ] Rally parade ( 5 ] Rally parade I 6 ) Sophomore Mothers ' tea ( 7 ) Junior Mothers ' tea 109 ( 8 ) Eastern visitors ' luncheon 9 } Sociology broadcast 10) Kiwanis show (II 112 (13) 1 ) Kiwanis show ) .
