FEBRUARY HIISTURY QJVE Ga! X69 T wasa cold, bleak February day in the year fc A of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine, Q, that the proverbial stork deposited on the doorstep of Stockton High two hundred and 3 ninety-nine frightened little particles, which 1 were immediately tagged Freshmen, They may have been little, but oh my! They did things and made the school hum with their activity. After a year of delving into the mysteries of X:the un- known , proper grammar, re-learning that Colum- bus discovered America, and other important facts, this noble group of greenies finished the year with flying colors. Immediately they were affected with that serious malady, the sophomore big-head. Luckily they recovered from this ailment, and soon they became intelligent and diligent juniors. And then the smoke began to whirl. It was during this year that the separate members of the class started on the road to fame by distinguishing themselves in the various lields open to them. Walter Ding Dong Huber won for himself the place of head yell leader, and could he lead 'emi Johnny Predagne and Jack Rohrer broke into fame on the gridiron running around with the ball. In the realm of music Lauren West and Catherine Mullen took care of the cellosg Elmyron Cooper, in view of the Rhumba on the Tuba, be- came an expert on this very modern instrument, and as a singer to go with the rest of these, Ding Dong is again heard from. It was also about this time that a very stupendous newswriting class edited their very own issue of the paper under the leadership of Jack McFarland, who was assisted by Douglas Nelson, Dorothy Walker, and Fred Emerald. So it was up to them to take over the G. 8: T. the next year. Galen Potter gained national recognition in the field of art, winning first place in block prints. In dramat- ics, Jean Rossi, Jeanette Stamer, James Wootten, and Douglas Nelson made their debut. Distinguished as scholars were Elsie Johnston, Carolyn Brock, and Mary Chesi. After getting into everything that was possible, this class finished as juniors and became mighty seniors. As February 1932 rolled around the 12B class started in to make their lasting impression on this school. They stepped into every department and took JDOUSLRS Dilorm' WALKER M815 VOOTTCN wmsmewv vice Pvzesmewr aecww:--rnes. over the reins of the school. In music Harriet Pulich, Alys Simmons, Elmyron Cooper, and Walt Huber were supreme. Galen Potter won more recognition as he presided over the art department. In the sports there were such names as Elmyron Cooper and Don- ald Root, track, Johnnie Predagne and Jack Rohrer, stars with the pig-skin, and Bill Daoust and David Du Frene took to base-ball. The plays continued to be led by Douglas Nelson, Jean Rossi, James Woot- ten, and Jeanette Stamer. The Guard and Tackle was raised to a high standard by the work of Jack McFarland, as editor, assisted by Douglas Nelson, Grover Bethards, Dorothy Walker, and as the up- and-coming mb there was Alden Brochier. Before they knew it, one half of the year for these seniors was over. In order to do things in a more parliamentary way, the last semester oliicers were elected by the class as follows: Douglas Nelson, president, Dorothy Walker, vice-president, and James Wootteifll, secretary-treasurer. These officers proved their ability by making every senior event a success, socially, and financially. Their activities started off with a pep,' dance the day before the Lodi-Stockton game. Next came the very successful play, The Sky Train , a three act mystery, as the senior play. In the cast were such notables as Juanita Browne, Jean Rossi, Jeanette Stamer, Joan Robinson, George Ditz, Paul McCarthy, Harrison Fisher, Ralph Walker, James Wootten, Douglas Nelson, Kenneth Byers, and Bill Morris. The Senior Jinx was execut- ed in the theme of Amateur Nite , and was the best ten-cent program of the year. Then came the annual Senior Prom. It was this remarkable class that for the first time in history cleared money from this dance. Was that a feather in their cap! Then came the beginning of the end. Class Day. This year it wasdedicated to the Ships of Port Stockton, and Dorothy Walker presided. A tradition was broken that dayi Commencement was held for 120 graduates on the 2nd of February, with Jack McFarland as student speaker. Soon there was nothing left for the class to do but bid farewell to the familiar halls of the school and always cherish the memory of their high school days, not soon will the faculty forget the work done by this class.
