7 - . JUNE i-iisiroiitfr QXVE l X. X . ,A A HORN! SILVUNAN LMLRY LINDBERG SQIQLLY JONES UIISQUQNT VICE-PRESIUEHT SECTY.'TRLS . UST four years ago 484 green, wiggly little IJ creatures were admitted into the portals of E Tl Stockton High School. They were so fresh and energetic that they soon exhausted the supply of gym books and elevator tickets, .Lv ' and it is said that they actually broke the elevator until it can be used only twice a year- around the first of February and the first of Sep- tember. After breaking this contraption and straining their already vivid imaginations with mythological pursuits, they launched themselves upon the giddy bark, Sophomorism. This final year of lower classmanship was somehow endured, and in '31 they received the more settled title of juniors , Here is where they began to branch out into politics, drama, journalism, and athletics. Claire Wehrsted distinguished herself in tennis, Geraldine Patton was elected vice-president of the regional Honor Scholarship convention which met here in Aprilg Herschel Thompson, Maxine Haas, and Attelra Hanford were definitely headed toward journalistic careers, joan Robinson became one of the famed Troubadoursg and Merlanne Gardner dis- tinguished herself in the literary field by winning both the I-Iaggin Memorial poetry contest and Stock- ton High's annual prose and poetry contest. In no time at all these juniors developed the charming characteristics of high'n' mighty sen- iors .... and then the fun began. After the Febru- ary graduates had emerged victorious from the arena, one of the members of the remaining body of cou- testants fotherwise known as June graduatesj began her reign over the Associated Students of Stockton High School. This student, Geraldine Patton, will always be remembered as the first girl student body president in the history of Stockton High School. She was ably assisted by that tiny little person, Nina O'Nei1l, who acted as vice-president. Not many of this class will forget that last election in which they participated. Rules were thrown out the back door fwherever that isj, and posters and place-cards were tacked, nailed, and hung in every conceivable place on the campus and in the buildings. Alvin Learned in the music department will be remembered as the brilliant young lad who composed The Walrus and the Carpenter, which was pre- sented at the annual band and orchestra concert, this was incidentally the first student composition pre- Fourleen sented in the history of these concerts. Lawrence Short, that almost master of the violin, and Robert McCormick, the trumpet player, upheld the high standard of work in the music department. The 1933 Troubadours, Beth Little, Mildred Harrison, Beck Parsons, Roy Godfrey, Nina O'Neill, joan Robinson, Marion Maynard, Harmon Ginn, and James Lewis, formed one of Stockton High's busiest organizations, and contributed not a little to the school's music fame. Bill Carder was another up-and-coming lad- besides being active in print shop work, he was also president of the vocational boys' cabinet, This class displayed their dramatic ability in both senior plays of the year. In the Sky Train Paul McCarthy and Joan Robinson contributed their bit, and the cast of Stray Cats was entirely composed of graduating seniors. Paul McCarthy and Bonnie Finkbohner had the leads in this production, sup- ported by Mae Kiehn, John England, La Verne Christensen, Mamie McGlothen, Walt Cottle, Morris Silverman, and William Santor. Those budding young journalists of the year be- fore now budded out-with Herschel Thompson, editor of the Guard and Tackle, assisted by Attelra Hanford, associate edirorg Maxine Haas, Memory Book editor, j. N. Ponder, sport editor, and jack Early, business manager. In the literary field Merlanne Gardner and jeanne Smith found an outlet for their talents. Merlanne was the class poet, and Jeanne took first place in both the essay and prose divisions of the annual prose and poetry contest with her essay, My Favorite Car . Ethel Best lent her Terpsichorean ability to many of the school meetings, both musical programs and rallies. Song leaders for these rallies were Evelyn Seliner and Martha Hachman. Barbara Minturn and Bernyce Dervin, inseparable campus queens, contri- buted to the success of the Junior-Senior Prom of the February class. Class Day exercises were presided over by Morris Silverman, class presidentg and Emery Lindberg, vice- president. Following the banquet and commence- ment exercises, this class of 372 students sadly left the portals of Stockton High. Some will return in the fall as post graduates, others will go on to college, and still others will enter the business world. Their four years here flew quickly by, but their days spent here will not soon be forgotten.
