A time of new traditions, discoveries, customs, and ideas. 1949. A time of new dis- coveries as important to the world as the gold the old pioneers found, a time when new cus- toms and traditions are being founded, and when new ideas are being fostered. ln many ways, this present generation embodies all the principles that the generation of youth in 1849 stood for, and so the Copa de Oro staff chose as the theme for this year's annual, The Forty- niners , feeling that this theme represented the spirit of our class, of the present generation, and the celebration of the California Centennial.

BEE FOOTBALL Coach C. Merrill Green's Bee football team en- joyed a fairly' successful season, and captured fourth position in the Foothill League. The Bees opened the league season against the Covina Colts, and pounded out an impressive 20-0 victory. The Tiger light weights were held to a 7-7 tie with Hoover and a 6-6 tie with Monrovia. On the other side of the slate the Bengals lost a heart breaker to Montebello 7-6, and were trounced by Glendale and Burbank, the two top teams in the league. The Tiger kits were also dropped by El Monte and Muir in practice games. , All league halfbaclc Granny Thurman captained the squad and led in the scoring. Norm Ono made ' ,. x ...in 1 80 third string all league, and was outstanding in the baclcheld along with Thurman, Dick Eade, Jim Ron- now, Alan DeWilde, and Bob Hughes. Outstand- ing linemen were all league taclcle John Livingston, Art Baudry, Phil Brabyn, and Jim Noe. Twenty-three boys received letters, and according to Coach Green a lot of fine material for the Varsity was turned out. A complete summary of the Bee grid season is as follows. El Monte O-263 Covina 20-0, Monte- bello 6-75 Burbank 0-20, Glendale 0-26, and a 7-7 tie with Hoover and a 6-6 tie with Monrovia. The Greenmen sparlcled individually, but lacked power as a team. 4 BE E SQUAD. FIRST ROW: Dobbs, Ronnow, McLaughlin, Eade, Liv- ingston, Thurman, Bra- byn, Noe, DeWilde, Ono. 2nd.

Rated fourth in the lea- gue at the season's start, the Tiger cagers battled through a rough schedule with a 9-3 record, to grab second place behind Burbank. Led by Sam Morley, All-CIF forward, and captain elect for '50, and All League center Tom Sawyer, the Greenmen chalked up 583 points during the league season to compile an enviable record. Displaying terrific improvement from their practice showing, the Bengals emerged from the league with but two losses to Burbank and one to Glendale. In the opening games the Tigers trampled Monte- bello 49-33, only to be dumped by Burbank 36-39. The Bengals trounced Glendale 65-51 in a high scor- ing contest in which Sam Morley scored 32 points, topping the school record of 31 set in '41 by Kenny Galpin. Covina went down 49-37, Hoover followed 45-442 and Monrovia fell 54-38. In the second round, Captain Tony Garrettis two charity shots pulled the Bengals to a 38-36 victory over Covina. Montebello was dumped 44-25. Bur- bank overcame the Tigers' four point half time lead and emerged victorious, 47-49. Glendale handed the Bengals a stunning 33-45 setback, and Hoover fell again 58-45. The Tigers climaxed the season with a 69-31 victory over Monrovia. In the Beverly Hills Tournament, the locals polished off Santa Monica 59-35, and upset the favored Bay League champ, Compton, 49-47. Ventura dumped the locals 44-56 in the semi-finals and Beverly Hills nosed the Tigers 33-35 in a third place playoff. Morley led the Tourney scorers with 80 points, and led league scoring with 206. Tom Saw- yer was second in scoring, and Don Smith was third. With Don Smith and Sam Morley, first all C.I.F. forward, returning next season, and some good men up from the Bees, prospects appear bright for next year. Captain Tony Garrett and Coach C.

BEE AND GBE BASKETBALL Coach Eacutt's Bee quintet proved to be an off and on squad, winning four league tussles while drop- ping eight. Ar the season's end the Bees found them- selves in fifth place behind Glendale, Burbank, Hoover, and Monrovia. The Bee's opened with a 47-24 victory over Montc- bello, only to have Burbank trip them 31-33. The Tigers dropped one to Glendale 23-21, and then downed Covina 44-21. Hoover and Monrovia pounded out 32-40 decisions over the Bengals. In the second round Covina was trounced 36-19, and Burbank eaked out a 23-28 win. Glendale thumped the Kits 21-33, and Hoover and Monrovia took the final games 30-47 and 44-49 respectively in a close battle which was the closing game of the season. Granny Thurman and All-League center Dan Ored- son captained the squad. ' Coach Williamson's Cee squad battled through a fairly successful season with a record of three wins and three losses. The Cee's started with a 29-24 win over Burbank, and made it two straight by downing Covina 27-25. Hoover downed the lighties 16-32, Monrovia tripped them 20-31, and Montebello came out on top 34-40.

With only two returning let- termen, Jim Hart and Bob Addoms, Coach Eacutt turned out a leather-lunged squad that racked up five victories while losing one contest to Glendale. The Bengal distance aces journeyed to Montebello for their first contest and trampled the Oilers 19-43. Hart was an easy winner. The second meet brought the Tigers and the Oilers together during the half of the Montebello South Pasa- dena football game. Hart chalked up his second victory, and lead the Bengals to a 21-34 win. The third contest, between the half of the Glendale football game proved to be disastrous for the locals, as Lieb of Glen- dale romped home in record time to lead his teammates to a 342 -232 victory. This proved to be the only league setback for the Espee hill and dalers. Running with- out the services of three of their most de- pendable performers, the Bengals tangled with Montebello and John Muir in a three way meet. The Tigers once again dumped the Oilers, but were subdued by Muir, by a scant ZZ points. In the final meet of the season, the Ea- cuttmen trampled Fairfax High of Los Angeles 17-47 in a practice contest. r The Bengal runners climaxed the suc- cessful season by taking fifth place in the CIF middle schools run-off. Jim Hart led the Tigers in scoring with 10 points, and was closely followed by Irving Anderson and Bob Bird with 9 points. Dick Weilein and Bob Addoms were close behind with 7 and 6 points respectively. Next came Bill Shuck with 3, Marshall Clark and Denison York with 2 points, and Bill Brooks and Chas. Tuller with one.

VARSIT TRACK In a season outstanding with individual performances, but lacking in all round team performances, Coach James Eacutt made his debut as track coach replacing Frank Kamm who had coached Tiger spike squads for the past two, years. He inherited a squad with only three Varsity lettermen. Coach Eacutt proceeded to dig in and molded a squad which except for its lack of depth would have bowed to few teams in the League. Three meets this year in which the Tigers were beaten-Montebello, Burbank, and Monrovia, the Tigers collared as many first places as their opponents. Thus a lack of depth can be held responsible for the Varsity record of five 86 defeats and one victory. This year,s Varsity was led by 440 man Irving An- derson, high jumper Bob Bird, distance man Don McLaughlin, hurdlers Jim Noe and Walt Hilliard, and broad jumper, shotputter, sprinter, Ronnie Stew- art. Anderson and Hilliard co-captained the squad, and Anderson was awarded the Sink Perpetual Trophy as the outstanding track man of 1949. Ar the season's end, Noe, Bird, and Brabyn stepped down to Bee and went through the league meets and into the CIF. The Varsity relay team of Heard, Peter- son, Romero, and Anderson also advanced into the CIF track meets to take places. Varsity. First Row: Geo.

BEE AND CEE TRAC Although the B thinciads, mentored by James Eacutt, encountered .exceedingly stiff competition in the Foothill League, they managed to send three boys through the League finals and into the CIF track meets. The team as a Whole didnat fare too well, but re- ceived some spark from such standouts as jim Noe, who broke the school record for the B 120 yard low hurdles with the hot time of 13.6, beating the previous record by one-tenth of a second. Phil Brabyn improv- ing steadily in the shot put broke the school record of 50' with a heave of 50' 72 , Outstanding through- out the season was Bob Bird, a high jumper who sur- vived the League iinals along with Noe and Brabyn. His best mark was 5'11 . Cther point getters for the Bees were Granny Thurman in the 100 yard dash and broad jump, jim Ronnow in the sprintsg Steve Lan- zit and Clark Kenyon in the 6603 Ed Buhlig in the high jump, and George Gibbs in the shotput. The relay team of Thurman, Ronnow, Noe, and Fleck advanced into the League finals. Due to a lack of depth the Cee Team didn't do so well. Mel Goldberg turned in a 10.9 100 yard dash and was the mainstay of the squad. Other boys in the Cees were Dick Carlson in the pole vault, Walt Conn in the shot put, George Underhill in the broad jump and Gene Leonard in the high jump. Cee Squad.

Merill Green's Varsity horse- hiders dropped a close 4-6 decision to the Glendale Hoover Tornadoes. This defeat cost the Bengals a possible third place tie with Hoover and Glendale in the Foothill League, and dropped them into fifth place behind the two above named squads. The Tigers finished the season with a league record of four wins and eight losses. At the beginning of the season Espee's prospects looked bright indeed as the squad turned in several Nupseti' victories in practice games coming mostly through the excellent pitching efforts of hurlers Jack Russell and Jack Waltz. A 1-0 one hit victory featured the first game with Bell Gardens in which Russell was the winning pitch- er. This was quickly followed up with decisions over the Pasadena City College Bullpups and John Burroughs, sandwiched in with defeats by E1 Monte and Loyola. The faulty fielding struck in the very first league encounter against Covina, when, with the Bengals leading 4-2 in the last half of the seventh inning, three errors gave the Colts three runs and the ball game. The highlight of the season was, undoubted- ly, the Bengal defeat of Montebello, the League Champions, by a score of 3-2. Jack Waltz was the victorious hurler in this tilt. Bob Garrett, heavy hitting junior catcher, won the batting championship trophy given by the Jun- ior Chamber of Commerce with a .333 average for the league season. 88 Varsity Squad.

This yearis Foothill Champs were coached by Frank Williamson and co-captained by Marshall Minard and Bob Sisler. With lettermen Minard, Sisler, Bill Moffett, Tom Wallace, Bob Andrews, Doug Tanner, and Pat Burkett forming the nucleus of the squad, Coach Williamson was able to round into shape a smooth working club that dropped only three contests-one in league, two in practice. On the other side of the slate, the Bengals racked up eleven victories. Filling in the rest of the lineup were: Ken Brown, pitcher and outfielder, Bill Woodward, pitcher, Bob Long, catcher, and Mike Giddings, firstbaseman. The league loss for the Tigers occurred at the hands of Covina 1-8. However the Jayvees bounced back to chalk up victories over Montebello 6-43 Burbank 10-0, Monrovia 5-2, and Hoover 8-7. Hoover also had a four and one league record, but the locals were awarded the championship because of the Tigers win over them. The practice game record of the Jayvees included two loses and six wins. The Bengals were dumped by Cathedral 2-4, and by Mark Keppel 3-4. The locals came back to pound the same Cathedral and Keppel teams 9-5 and 12-9. The other practice wins were a 14-9 slaugh- ter of Alhambra, a 4-3 win over John Muir, and two victories over John Burroughs, 5-4 and 17-7. 89 Coach Harry Swart's teams have chalked up 18 league titles since 1925, and taken the CIF crown the past two seasons.

MISS VIVIAN ATHERTON FEMININE PURTITUDE A very successful year was enjoyed by all girls sports enthusiasts under the expert direction of Miss Vivian Atherton and Miss Helen Reese, athletic directors. An interesting variety of activities was offered, and a large number of girls participated, each one gaining a great deal in health, sportsmanship, teamwork, and pleasure. The five charming cheer leaders, Loreen and Moreen Smith, Berry Conrad, Marian Marshall, and Joey Bald- win contributed their bit in arousing spirit and enthus- iasm at the playdays and Patsy Karnes, chairman of the girls sports committee, did an excellent job in ar- ranging transportation and other details for the play- days and meets with the different foothill schools. Plans for next year are already under way. The object of the girls sports committee guided by the Girls League is to promote active interest in sports among all the girls in school and to sponsor the after school interclass playoffs and playdays. 92 Girls' S p o r t s Committee: Front row: Reese, Manahan, Karnes, Overstreet.

Individual class competition was the first step on the volley- ball ladder. After winning their class champ- ionship, teams went on to compete in after- school meets. Barbara lVIunclorff,s dynamic second period slammers took the girls' champ- ionship in a swift and furious game. Ac the right: Pat Kuntz jumps to deliver a smashing volley. HUC E .t Hockey saw its close this year when the winning teams played off in the snow for the championship. The captains of the teams from the six gym periods were Gretchen Reinke, Mary Williamson, Jackie Bell, Patsy Karnes, Mary Willims, Dolores Costes, Flor- ence Burke and Dorothy Follansbee. The seventeen girls composing the SPSMHS hockey team were planning to attend the hockey playday, sponsored by the Los An- geles Field Hockey Association, at Griffith Park, but were unable to do so when the meet was called off due to snow.

As speedball is a boisterous gamefcompetition was keen for the individual class championships won by Sampson - Winn, Cook, Connelly - Friedrick, Ayo-Elliott, McClung-Stringer, and Mills- Burke. With excellent team Work and indi- vidual effort, the Mills-Burke combo Walked off with the inter-class championship.

Girls strive to perfect their batting techniques, to throw a curve ball, and above all to ucatchv a ball. The winning teams in each gym period play off after school in order to decide who will win the Softball Championship. This year,s teams were evenly matched and competition was keen.

F, 94 BAS ETBALL The basketball season opened with a great deal of spirit and enthusiasm. As it is an active sport, the contenders have a good, if not exhautsing time, trying to sink a long one or make good a charity shot. The screams and yells during the last days of March came from the six teams who won class championships, and who went on to try for the girls' crown in the swift sport. Barbara Billing's sixth period shooters in- vaded the hardwood courts to take the title. At the left: Ann Beardsley jumps for a tie-ball as Marlene Briener tosses it up. DANCING In order to aid the girls to gain grace and poise, dancing is included in the physical education schedule. The girls practiced the steps of many dances including the Charles- ton, Topsey, Arkansas Traveler, and other folk dances. When each girl is confident that she has mastered the steps, she is graded by the instructor. Music for the weekly dances is furnished by Mrs. Miller who added by her varied pieces to the interest of the girls in the dances. Ar the left: Miss Atherton leads the girls in the steps of the Arkansas Traveler. TENNIS The boys' tennis team has somewhat over- shadowed the hard-working re-established girls' team. This year SPSMHS has been represented by an outstanding singles player, Julie Sampson. National Public Park Champ- ion and winner this year of the Ojai Valley Girls, Singles, Julie has promise of becom- ing. high in national ranking. A sophomore, she was supported in singles by Diane Cook, Pat Kuntz, and Ann Brigham. Among win- ning doubles were Joan and Joyce Reid, and Mary Marshall and Janet Leeds. Julie also won the Southern California 15 years old Junior Net Championship. At the right: Julie Sampson puts away a high lob. BADMINTUN Agility and a smashing drive are two of the ingredientsneeded for a successful bad- minton player. Admirers of the sport would do well to watch the girls in any gym period as they successfully kill the birdie. Al- though no inter-class tournaments are held in this sport, the girls hold individual tilts which prove to be crammed with exciting plays. Girls have also entered into compe- tition in other schools and have proven vic- torious-winning at both the Monrovia and home playday.

The school spirit, enthusiasm, friend- liness, and cooperation shown by the six schools was rated excellent as well as good sportsmanship in the 'playing of hockey, speedball, volleyball, tennis, and badminton. South Pasadena tookthe red ribbon in the second playday held at Monrovia where eighty-six of thevlocal girls participated in basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, bad- minton, and table tennis.

The rest of the student-body prepared for this, the first league game of the 348 season, in a much noisier, though less energetic Way. Beginning with a snappy assembly featuring yells and the crowning of the foot- ball queen, the activities of the clay included a pep parade through the streets of South Pasadena and, of course, the big game, which the tremendous Tigers won 32-12.

All these vacations and dates aren't actually a part of school activities, but With- out them a school year would hardly he complete. The places to go, such as Laguna, Bal, Big Bear, Rite Spot, and others are parts of our school life as much as study hall, the auditorium, or the Boys, Gym. 104 During Christmas vacation the most popular spots are found to be ski resorts such as Snow Valley, Arrowhead, and Green Valley, while Easter week, the other long vacation of the year, finds the crowd migrated to the beach. The places SPSMHS students frequent during their time off varies as much as their personalities, and vacations may even find them in Mexico.
