February Class l-listory ISTORY! That's it. It's all history now, but what I wouldn't give to have a small portion of it today! Why, our mid-year class of '34 had so many celebrities that the high school auditorium couldn't hold them at commencement, so we established a precedent for February classes and held our exercises down at the Civic Memorial Auditorium. Thirty or forty years from now, this slight bit of bragging on the part of any member of the class-even you-would be greatly offset by just pride, for when anyone looks back through the years, no class looks bigger or better than his own. This was the class which began a new deal for freshmen, for this group of frosh showed marked intelligence over those of previous years and haughtily refused to recognize any upperclassmen or sophomores who found delight in tormenting those younger than themselves. There were 326 in this group, and at graduation four years later the class had not been materially changed. Among those who entered at this time were athletes, strong and sturdy, scholars, high and mighty, and just plain people. As sopho- mores they continued the good work started when freshmen, and in their junior and senior years they blossomed out in full. At commencement, February 1, 1934, they still had their share of scholars, athletes, and plain people. Five members of the class, Dorothy Busalacchi, Edith Nomellini, Myron Page, Robert McCormick, and Louis Reghitto, received gold seals on their diplomas, entitling them to life membership in the California Scholastic Federation. Others who attained high scholarship records but fell a little short of the gold seal requirements were Neal GriHin, Peter Zucker- man,' Bonita Neher, Ray Fuhrmann, Melva Belle Savage, Raymond Vitek, and Howard Johnson. These students did not wait until their sophomore year but began immediately' to strive for this coveted honor. In the realm of sports, Al George and Fred Grillo also began as freshmen. Al George stood out bril- liantly in almost every phase of athletics all through his four years at Stockton High School. During his last season as captain of the football team he was hailed by many as the best high school halfback in the state. Grillo was outstanding in basketball, and as members of the swimming team, Bud Reiman, Bob McCormick, Darrell Hull, and Mario Busalacchi also figured prominently. Bud, by the way, was elected student body president. After the smoke of the 12A class election had cleared, the three chosen officers were Louis Sandine, president, Marion Harris, vice-president, and Bob Haas, 'secretary-treasurer. Bob later became the star of the senior play, The Laughing Guest. Louis and Marion ably took charge of the business side of the play, and reported a seventy-five dollar profit which was used as a scholarship loan for a worthy member of the class. Others in the cast were Lila Cummings, Delma Sawyer, Marguerite Tanberg, Margaret Evans, Bud Reiman, Robert Nelson, Ray Dorcey, Holbrook Newell, Charles Daundivier, and Howard Johnson. jack Ziegler and Ray Fuhrmann were stage managers. Representatives on the student council were many. Louis Sandine, class president, Bud Reiman, student body president, Hart Weaver, chairman of the Junior Red Cross, and Ray Rookard, commissioner of ath- letics, were elected when juniors. Sue Owen was chosen first vice-president, and both Ruth Williams and Ruth Jeanette Hancock headed the Girls' League. jean Noack, artist, was chosen art editor of the Guard and Tackle staff, and she also won a position in the Quill and Scroll society, internationally famous hon- orary society for high school journalists, Many members of this class proved themselves accomplished musicians. The band and orchestra were represented by Bob McCormick, trumpet player, Raymond Dorcey and Ray Rookard, trombone play- ers, Dewey Bartman, drums, and Lawrence Moore, who played either saxophone or clarinet. Bob Haas, secretary of the class, played the tympani drums in the orchestra for two years and accompanied the Boys' Glee club as pianist. He also served on the Guard and Tackle staff as business manager. Another Bob, Robert Nelson, who played the part of the Reverend Walter Smith in the senior play, won a position on the famed Troubadours, one of the most outstanding organizations of Stockton High School. He stood out exceptionally well, however, in public speaking, as did Robert McCormick and Holbrook Newell. In music still another Bob was prominent. Robert Campodonico was chosen accompanist for the male quartette and assistant to the Troubadours. Several members of the class chose to follow a vocational course, and so they enrolled in the various shops of the vocational department, incidentally they entered one of the most outstanding manual training departments in the state. Fred Grillo, Oakley Duns- more, Eddie Bickle, and Luther Adams were promi- nent members of the vocational group. They spe- cialized in machine shop and auto repair work, carpentry, and printing, and during the year they did much to beautify the campus and the high school buildings. ,Some of these have already gone on to college, some have entered business concerns, and some have developed other outside interests. While at Stockton High School they formed steadfast friends among faculty and classmates, and as they enter their new life may they be as fortunate in securing friends of such fine caliber. PAGE 28
