There, today, a man-made island has appeared. On this, man has erected the stately structure of our Golden Gate Exposition. What does this signify? More than anything else, it shows that man is the master of nature. Both the land and the waters of the sea can be mastered. And already our planes are winning the mastery of the air. ln the material field, man is king. But is he master of himself? As we look about us in the world, we wonder why man is in the condition he is. In the old world, are marching armies and nations filled with alarms, in our country of boundless resources, there are millions without enough to eat. What can be the cause? Man who can master the universe is a slave to his own fears and illusions. The reason for this is found in man's greed and ambi- tion. I-le lives for himself and not for the good of his fellow men. Nineteen hundred years ago, a man lived in Galilee who taught the true ideal of life, that he who gives his life for the good of others shall find his own true life. Unselfishness and cooperation must become the ruling ideals of the world, if man is to attain his goal. May every graduate of Tamalpais keep this ideal of service ever before him.

The cup was won for excellency in its field of competition, which include those books pro- duced under Sl000. As the award has been won by Tam for three consecutive years, it has become a per- manent possession of the school. Every year a change is made in the color of the Pai cover but only once in every three years is the cover design changed. This year that change has tak- en place and instead of the familiar lndian head on the cover, is an elaborate Indian shield. Editor, Martha lane Bliss, had full charge in the preparation of the book and the appointment of the editorial and sales staff. The other members of the staff were: assistant editors, Mary Lou Porcaro and lohn Walker, sports writers, Walter Derr and Bud Richard- son, girls' activities writer, Beverly Muller, sales man- ager, Virginia Otis and snapshot editor, Richard Phil- lips. Assisting Mr. Iules Chourre, faculty advisor, Howard Allen and Ned Stevens carried out the duties of man- ager and assistant manager, respectively. A heavier task than usual was that of the managers' this year be- cause ofthe great number of senior pictures which had to be taken. An interesting fact is that the class of Iune of 1939 is the largest in the history of Tamalpais.. Virginia Otis led the staff of high powered sales- men in their canvas of selling Pais, however, for a while it seemed doubtful if enough Pais could be sold. But near the end ofthe selling period purchases be- came extremely numerous and reached the record of past years. Those who deserve credit for selling the year book are: l-larry Clark, Keith Monaghan, Russ Lank, Dick Chourre, Marge McAnally, Helen Arrigo, lrene Linch, Virginia Otis, and Rae Clifford.

The various school activities such as clubs, athletics, and program funds are financed by the nominal fee exacted from every student at the beginning of each school year. Doug Pederson and Bob Fitzhenry were the student body presidents for the fall semester of '38 and spring semester of '39 respectively. As the result of a blind talent program, sponsored by the National Transcribers' Socie- ty, presented to the student body last October, students donated en masse S2l2.52 to the blind cause, enabling 2l Braille books to be made by the Society for the benefit of needy blind. A series of student programs running through the month of October and early Novem- ber were given by the talent of each class in i W competition for a mythical bench, the alleged prize of the victorious class. The judges, a group of faculty mem- bers chose the last variety show, that of the Seniors, as the best. However, it is feared that these seniors are graduating this month without a bench.. In an effort to better relations and just have some good times together with their county cousins, the Tamalpais student body, under the leadership of its president, joined hands with San Rafael, its bitterest enemy around November ll, to stage a second annual series of joint Dances, the first harmony jig being held in the Tamalpais gym and the second and final one of the series in the San Rafael gym. The bury the hatchet get-togeth- ers were pronounced a success by those who paid their paltry quarter for the million dollar dances. The Tamalpais Dance Or- chestra furnished the music. Student body officers elected with President Doug Pederson in the fall were: Dorothy Boadway, vice-president, Grace Bailey, secretary, Virginia Otis, treasurer, Shirley Thomson, yell leader, Bae Clifford, however, performed the duties of the latter. Officers chosen by students for the spring semester, besides President Bob Fitzhenry were: vice president, Bob Zollner, secre- tary, Virginia Otis, treasurer, Charles Collier, and yell leader, Dexter Luce.

Page Forty GIRLS' SELF-GOVERNMENT Carrying on Tamalpais' system of girls' self-government for the past year have been two able girls, who have succeeded in upholding the high standards of law adherrence set by their predecessors. Generally, the same enactment of duties of the girls who have served under the presidents has been maintained, however, jury trials have been established again in the spring semester in hopes of creating a more genial spirit among the girls who have been called up for sentence. Under President Margaret lean Madsen in the fall, there Were five committees, the heads of which Were: train supervision, Catherine McLean, hall, grounds, and meetings, Mary Bottarini, fourth period cutting, Irene Linch, cafeteria, Avanelle Arp, and uniform, Marge McAnally.

Page Forty-two PROGRAM COMMITTEE lnstead ot the usual one Progam Committee, two were ap- pointed tor the tall term tor the arranging and carrying out under the guidance ol Miss Pearl Smith, ot the programs present- ed tor the enterainment and education ot the student body at its meetings. This new system was intended to encourage competi- tion between the two groups, and thus insure consistently good entertainment. Barbara Wosser headed one committee, Mary Bemy, the other. Although fewer student body meetings than usual were held because ot student disorders, a number ot interesting meetings were provided by the committees, such as: the blind talent pro- gram, and series ot class competitions tor the bench prize.

The Freshmen Beception, Valentines Day party, and Girls' Association dance furnished other means of entertainment for the Tamalpais girls during the spring term. Presenting the annual fall linx for Tamal- pais girls only, excluding mothers and friends, along with attempted competition with current Halloween parties, reduced the attendance con- siderably, but an enjoyable evening was spent by all who danced in the gym, Saturday night, October 29, amidst the surrealistic decora- tions. lnstead of the usual Christmas party a Girls' Banquet was held much earlier in the fall Mflge Miffaifgu term on September 29, complete with a class prophecy for the high seniors and dancing for all. The school dance orchestra furnished the music. Pinch hitting for the usual Baby Day which is held each spring a 'Civilians' Day on March 31 was substituted-one day when girls were not required to wear uniforms.

Page Forty-four TAMALPAIS NEWS Bringing the highlights and publicity items to the students of Tamalpais High School, the Tamalpais NEWS again succeeded in uphold- ing its journalistic standing under the supervi- sion of Mr. Iohn B. George and Mr. Iules Chourre. Besides its usual procedure of issuing a pa- per every Friday, The NEWS has engaged in a number of outside activities other than journal- istic endeavors. The latest, and perhaps most successful of these activties was the Barn Dance on May 5, which is now practically in students' minds as a traditional affair, although this Was only the third year this event has taken place. The annual three-day convention at the University of California claimed its toll of dele- gates-ten journalists from The NEWS. Speech- es, round table discussions, news and editorial Writing contests, and the Publications Dance took up the greater part of the delegates' time from March 30-April l. A real college football game attracted most of the fall term jounralists to the university Where the fall press convention was held for one day, November l2. Another annual event in the lives of The NEWS staff was the publication of the BAZZ edition of pure nonsense, which definitely brought spasms of laughter and giggles from Tamites. Editorial staff for the fall was made up of members Betty F owells, editor, Bud Richardson, sports' editor, Martha Iane Bliss, manager. Iournalists in the fall term were Bob Adams, Evelyn Clark, Lillian Fitzgerald, Esther I-luckaba, Dick Miller, Iean Paddock, Charleine Sojka, Burton Stutz, Wilbur Tapscott, Bette Tieck, Iohn Walker. I-leading the journalists for the spring semester were Lillian Fitzgerald, editor, Iohn Walker, sports' editor, Dick Miller, manager. NEWS staff memebrs in the spring were Walter Derr, Betty Fowells, lean Fuller, Ieanne Landrock, Phyllis Lapham, Iohn Mann, Beverly Muller, Mary Lou Porcaro, Charleine Sojka, Wil- bur Tapscott, Shirley Thomson.

BA The Tamalpais Band, under the direction of Mr. Clifford Moore, is one of the most active organizations in the school con- sistently Winning recognition for its colorful performances. Besides playing at numerous rallies, football and basketball games, the band traveled to Davis for the northern California Band Festival, and to Treasure Island for another contest in the 38-39 season. The band played host to similar organizations at the North Bay League Festival held at Tamalpais on May 26. ln the spring six fancy-stepping drum majorettes were added to the personnel. Funds were raised for their elegant uniforms by the holding of a dance. Drum Major Bill Healy and assistant Ben Nelson will survive the graduation, at which the loand Will play, and are expected to lead the Red and Blue Tooters through more successful seasons. Page Forty-six URCHE THA The Advanced Orchestra under the direction ot Mrs. Ray- mond Pittenger, is the highest trained musical body ot its kind in the school, and every term it participates in numerous activities outside ot the regular performances. The Orchestra held two symphonic concerts during the year at school, one given in the tall and the other in the spring. Again in the spring semester, the Orchestra and Advanced String Quartet appeared at a concert ot representative schools at Trea- sure lsland. Seven members of the Orchestra had the honor ot playing in the All-West Orchestra at which the best students of music trom the United States only, are represented at Long Beach. ln addition the group played many times during the year at stu- dent body meetings. 'l'he String Quartet is an auxuliary ol the main body, having Mary Smith, lean Le Ross, Madeline Milner, and Dick Rice as its members.

LANGUAGE CLUBS-The Spanish and German Clubs are Tam- alpais' two language organizations. Both are quite active, particularly the German Club, which holds an annual ice skating party. Members, whose admission is determined by their grades in the language, enjoy regular meetings, par- ties, luncheons, and programs. Miss Vera Stump and Miss Lillian Roth are the respective faculty advisers. ROD AND GUN CLUB-The Rod and Gun Club, under the advis- orship of Mr. Roy jacka, and presidency of Harry Clark, had its usual quota of meetings and other activities this year. Mr. jules Chourre spoke to members on guns at one meeting. Members made a very successful drive to sell stamps for the preservation of wild life. YACHT CLUB-The Yacht Club, under the direction of Mr. An- drew Hall, and consisting of those boys who have craft on the bay, held its annual series of yacht races, and took a trip to Mare Island Navy Yard during the last two semesters. At a paper bag banquet Commodore Howard Allen awarded the perpetual trophy to Ken Hulme, two time winner, and medals to himself and Stuart Burt for second and third prizes respectively. THE HONOR T SOCIETY-The Honor T Society, scholarship or- ganization, played host at the California Scholarship Federa- tion Convention on Treasure Island besides enjoying its usual launch ride and roller skating party this last year. Fred Baker and Mary Bottarini were the Grand Oracles. GOLF CLUB-The Golf Club is the most recently organized group, being formed only a few months ago. Golfing mem- bers held a dance to raise funds for green fees and other ex- penses as the school is not yet able to provide a free course or instruction. However, in the future, Tamalpais may enter league golfing competition. PROIECT CLUB-The Project Club, under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Hall, and open to any student who has made a project in one of his history classes, divides his time between discus- sions of projects and general travel subjects, and various successful outside activities. At regular meetings several stu- dents who had been to Europe and elsewhere told of their travels. An elaborate luncheon was held in the cafeteria during the year.

Q- ORGANIZATIONS ARCI-IERY CLUB-Mr. Harry Twigg, faculty instructor of the Archery Club, a comparatively recent revival of the boys' organization, just last semester organized a Girls' Archery Club. Now the girls' group has grown larger than that of the boys. Both groups meet regularly every week. A tournament between the four sharpest shooting boys and four deadest eyed girls was held during this last semester. The school furnishes the bows and arrows. GIRLS' BASKETBALL-Nabbing top honors in this lively sport were the freshmen girls, who bested the juniors in the finals. A spring event advised by Mrs. Flanagan and Mrs. I-Iall, girls' basketball is quite a popular activity. LIFE SAVING AND INTERCLASS SWIMMING-Under the direc- tion of Miss Ialoff and Miss Buttner, many girls turned out to learn the how and why of life saving-and also won their certificates. Interclass swimming, also a spring sport, was run off in meets after school. GIRLS' VOLLEY BALL-Girls who attempted to win honors in the sport of volley ball were directed by Miss McCurdy and Miss Sartario, who made this season a lively one for the maidens. RIFLE CLUB-Shooting weekly under the supervision of Mr. Grant, Rifle Club members have elevated their rank and en- gaged in a number of handicap contests. Iane Gilliam was president of the girls both terms. GIRLS' BASEBALL--Under the supervision of Miss McCurdy and Miss Sartario girl diamonders proceeded to conclude the spring sports with many stiff games. GIRLS' HOCKEY-Iunior girls went right through the season winning practically each game they played to be the final victors. Miss Mackie taught the girls the tricks of the sport and supervised their playing. PUPPET CLUB-Under the direction of Miss McCurdy and Iohn Brantner, who was president both spring and fall, puppeteers presented a number of plays in the spring. Among these was an original, and several one-act plays.

UNLI IITED FOOTBALL Coach George Gustafson, of the Unlimiteds, faced a some- what promising season with a capable first string but Weak reserve strength. The team, led by Captain Don lngermann, set in the channels of Tamalpais football history one of its most freak records in ending the season with four league tiesl Vallejo, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and San Rafael all deadloclced with the Indians, dropping them to a final fourth place under Napa, Vallejo, and San Rafael. The season scores were as follows: Tamalpais U, Saint Mary's 6, Tamalpais 7, jefferson U, Tamalpais 7, Alameda O, Tamalpais O, Vallejo U, Tamalpais l2, Santa Rosa l2, Tamalpais 31, Analy Up Tamalpais 39, George Vlfashington l-4, Tamalpais U, Petaluma Og Tamalpais U, Napa 75 Tamalpais 6, San Rafael 6. The first string included Don lngermann, Art Fontes, Ioe Shepherd, Bob Fitzhenry, Les Chrisman, Melvin Clapp, and Paul Spangler in the lineg Bob Filippi, Russ Lank, lack Flagerrnan, and Ray Buchignani made up the number one backfield. Lee Hamilton, Ben Rippe, Conrad Caprin, jack Martin, and Bob Saxton left the bench often.

LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL The Lightweights this year again failed to live up to their past season's performances in ending in third place in the North Bay League. Coaches Benefield and Potts whipped together a smooth working, but green outfit which was afflicted with tie-itis, as was the unlimited team, battling two O-O draws with Petaluma and Vallejo. The Papooses ended their season disastrously when they were upset 14-6 by a battered and several times beaten San Rafael Bullpup squad. A consolation to Tam fans is the fact that the team is losing few first string men, and is expected by the most sceptical to turn out an unusually strong group next year. The first string included: Sandahl, Chandler, Thornhill, Forde, Colombel, Scott, McGrath, Parker, Sullivan,Pierce, and Stutz. Co- captain Bowman saw little action toward the end of the season because of an injury.

UNLIMITED BASKETBALL After drubbing the supposedly invulneralole Santa Rosa quintet and with the North Bay League championship practical- ly cinched, the Unlimited basketball. team blew the title in the last second of the playoff game with Sonoma. However, a Southern Division Championship of the NBL indicated a very successful season for the Indians, who were coached under the able eye of Mr. Wallace Andrews. The squad consisted of Fran Noonan and Lloyd Cary at for- words, Doug Pederson and Mario Regalia, centers, and Keith Monaghan, Paul Spangler, Iohnny Mahoney, Bill Forde, and Russ Lank, guards. The players alternated on first string throughout most of the season. Reserves who saw action were Mahoney, Baird, Keast, Reeve, Laereman, Klyce, Shannon, Sullivan, and Chrisman. Noonan, Tamalpais forward, led the league in scoring chalk- ing up l07 points in nine contests. The following are the scores of league games: Tam l9, San Rafael l6, Tam 28, Vallejo 26, Tam l8, Santa Rosa 3l, Tam 26, Analy ll, Tam 37, Healdslourg l7, Tam 38, Petaluma 20, Tam 23, Napa 2l, Tam 40, San Rafael 25, Tam 28, Santa Rosa 25, Tam 22, Sonoma 23.

Second row-Chet Marshall, Jay Woodward, Burton Stutz, Bill Tomsky, Lee Sandahl. Third row-Charles Collier, Coach Gustafson, Vernon Coleman.. LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL Under the leadership of Coach George Gustafson and Cap- tain lack Wolf the Lightweight basketball team went through a mediocre season, coming through when defeat was expected and losing when victory was believed near. However, the lnjuns might have done much better had they been more accu- rate on free throws. After a poor practice season the Indians found little trouble in beating San Rafael. However, the Babes did do two notable things: one, they gave Vallejo, the NBL winner, their toughest game, two, took both games from the Bulldogs, an achievement which has not been accomplished for a long time. The starting quintet for the Redskins was composed mostly of former l2U pound players which found Captain lack Wolf and Vernon Coleman at forwards, Chet Marshall at center, and Harold lackson and Stan Bliss at guards. Reserves who saw con- siderable action were: Dave Bowman, Chuck Collier, Burt Stutz, Bill Chrisler, Bill Tomsky, and I. D. Woodward. The following are the scores of league games: Tam 27, San Rafael 20, Tam 24, Vallejo 29, Tam 16, Santa Rosa l9, Tam 17, Analy 24, Tam 23, Healdsburg 27, Tam 3l, Petaluma 20, Tam 16, Napa 2l, Tam l9, San Rafael l8.

BA EBALL With five veterans returning, Coach G. T. Wendering's l939 baseball outiit seems destined to Win its seventh consecutive NBL championship. Such players as Mancebo, Fitzhenry, and Captain Fontes, Who led the team to a pennant last year, seem to be leading the squad to the top again this year. The starting nine, at the present time, consists ot Bolly Mancebo on the mound, lack Machado catching, Bob Fitzhenry at iirst, Fran Noonan on second, Iohn Mahoney on third, Wenslott at shortstop, and lra lohnson, Captain Fontes and Asay filling in the outer pastures. At the tirst of the season the Indians looked rather Weak at the plate but have been improving steadily. Fontes, last year's batting king and home run artist, seems to be on the same trail this year. Mancebo has also an excellent pitching record. ln two league encounters he has struck out 30 opposing batters and al- lowed but one hit in each tussle. Tamalpais Won both oi these games, defeating Vallejo 7-l and Santa Rosa 4-0, Page Sixty-three Front row Cleft to right?-Bill Chrisler, Keith Monaghan tCapt.J, Walter Lindon, Bill Woods, Conrad Caprin and Bill Reeve.

TENNIS The Tamalpais Tennis Team, coached by Clifford Moore and Assistant Coach Lew Massey, should be able to capture the NBL crown this year after being nosed out last fall. The Whole squad seems to be rather strong. Keith Monaghan is playing first singles again and looks good, he is undefeated in league competition so far. lack Bostwick, Conrad Caprin, Chick Linden, Bill Woods, and Bill Reeve are the veterans returning from last year. New members of the squad are: F red Baker, Bick Fairchild, Walter Derr, Bob Hammer, Mel Klyce, and lim Bicksecker. The Redskins are undefeated so far in league competition. Some of the opposing teams that have been beaten by the Indians are: Napa, Petaluma, Santa Rosa I. C., and Sonoma.

SWIMMING The Unlimited and Lightweight mermen, coached by Belzy Aikin, look for a successful season this spring. While the Babes are lacking veterans the A squad is practically completely made up of them. However, the A's have gotten oil to but a lair start having been trounced by Galileo and Poly, and only having beaten Lowell in the first meet of the season. Things have been just the reverse for the Papooses. They have squashed Galileo and Poly and were handed a setback by the Cards. Some ot the boys that garner points tor the Unlimiteds are: George Williams, Davis Box, lack Donahue, Boane Sias, Chet Marshall, Ed Bullard, Iohnny Wattenbarger, lohnny Mann, Bud Stocking, Fred Keast, Frank Musso, Dave Bowman, Bob Van Staden, and Hal Airey. The B mainstays are: Dave Ehrenfelt, Bunny McCallum, Stu Burt, Gerald Kliewe, George Laster, Balph Larkin, and Dick Costa.

Back row-Gregory Solon, Ed Graham, Eugene Gatto, Lee Sandahl, Ray Buchignani, Tinker Leggett, Lee Hamilton, Joe Gianini, Thomas Page, Stanley Scott, Coach Graves, James Imperial, Irwin Mann U LIMITED TRACK With only a green team to work with, Coach Graves' pre- diction for NBL honors were not so rosy. Not one member of this year's Unlimited team placed in the league meet last year and Laereman was the only one to place in the sub-league. I-lowever, some boys up from l3O's and some new aspirants have rounded into form nicely, and together with the one return- ing veteran should put Tamalpais up among the leaders some- where. Although the NBL record is considerably higher for the high jump, Chet Marshall seems to be a favorite in this event hav- ing leaped 5 feet ll inches already. Ed Graham has shown up well in the sprints, and has won the 220-yard dash in most of the meets so lar. Laereman can also be depended upon to place in the 880. Other point getters aretz Harry Clark, Bob Shine, I. D. Wood- ward, Burt Stutz, Melvin Clapp, Tinker Leggett, Greg Solon, Fred Keast, Bolly Mancebo, Claude Barnes, Bill Forde, and Blair Smith.

LIGHTWEIGHT TRACK Coach Glidden Benefield, the B track mentor, has to his credit what seems to be a good team this year. Although hit hard by the new l25 exponent ruling, the cinder burners should place high in league competition. However, in order to have a successful season most of the members of the squad must do iron-man duty. So tar this spring, the lightweights have nosed out Analy in a dual meet and have beaten San Rafael in a three way meet: Vallejo and Petaluma have been Tam's conquerors. Leading point getters for the Babes are Dave Bowman, broad jumping, pole vaulting, low hurdling, and shot putting, and Iohnny Knapp in the sprints and pole vault. Marvin Christen- sen, Bay Smith, Bay Struck, Frank Wenslotf, George Martan, George Dedekam, Ed Siemens, Ioe Thoney, and Ted Nelson were some of the other marathoners for the B's.

C TRACK Coach Fran Shafer has produced one of the best C track teams in the history of Tamalpais. This squad has so far gone undefeated and according to performances should easily Win the league. The little lnjuns have good men in each event, Outstanding point getters for the Redskins are: Ross Ieffrey in the sprints, who has Won every race he has entered so far. Setterholm, Worrell, and McKenzie in the hurdles, Worrell and McKenzie in the high jump, and Morehouse and Arreger also in the Sprints.. Analy, Vallejo, and San Rafael have been some of the vic- tims of the C's so far this season. Page Sixty-eight Xkx xwtfi ltl'lf'j'h5Q-'S in i .h kli? . ww, .
