Wood, Principal MESSAGE 1940 War! War! War! As you, the Class of 1940, step out into the world, this is what confronts you. Gver nineteen hundred years ago a great Teacher on the hills of Galilee taught the principles of friendship and peace. We have for centuries in all the countries of the western world called our- selves Christians, but no savage of pre-Christian ages could be more brutal or have less regard for human rights than the white man -today. What is the reason for this utter failure of our high ideals? We in America have believed that education and the development of the intellect would ensure progress. But while this has given us mastery over nature, it has failed to accomplish ethical development. As we have become more powerful, we have become more ruthless. The true answer must be elsewhere. For the answer, I believe we must go back to the Great Teacher who said, He that would find his life must lose it. What is the curse of today? Selfish Greed. Each individual, each group, and each nation is grabbing for wealth and power, no one caring what happens to the other fellow. But when success has been won by a few, has it brought happiness? Our papers show every day how these so-called successful ones have failed. What did the Master mean when he said, Lose a life ? l-le meant to live for the good of others. True happiness comes from trying to improve the world in which we live. This can be seen very clearly by taking a list of the really great men of the world. The greatest wealth a man can have is his friends. These only come from thinking more of others than of one's self. May each one of you of the Class of '40 find true happiness. I E. E.

Student Congress Early in October of 1939, a new student body president concocted a plan for the formation of a governing body to assist the Executive Committee and better represent the students. Today, two-term President Art Baird's brain child, Congress, is the most respected and efficient ruling organization in the school. Among the many things the assembly accomplished during the year, the outstanding action was the revising and correcting of the Student Body Con- stitution Which had become obsolete with the changing times. Principal E.E, Wood Was Well pleased with the activites of the group and expressed his favor in an address at the first meeting of the spring semester when he closed With, l know what you are doing is Worth While! Representing the students at the semi-monthly meetings were presidents of classes, organization officers and the student heads of school activities. The congressmen closed both semesters with a Congressional Banquet to which school officials were invited. BOARD OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES Ernest E.

Student Self-government One of the greatest accomplishments of Tamalpais Union High School is the maintenance of Student Self-government. This system of self-govern- ment is Tamalpais' contribution toward the development of responsibility, the basis of good citizenship. In the endeavor to prepare the student for a life of active participation in community affairs, Student Self-government at Tamal- pais is upholding the high principles of true democracy. Headed by Burton Stutz and Martha lane Bliss in the fall and by Harry Thayer and Barbara Currier in the spring, Self-government, with its strict en- forcement of school regulations and efficiently conducted jury trials, Witness- ed one of its most successful regimes in the history of Tamalpais. Burton Stutz' G-Men Were: Bob Aregger, Conrad Caprin, Harry Thayer, Melvin Clapp, Ted Cook, Les Chrisman, Bob Elliott, Rick Fairchild, Al Francke, Ross Ieffrey, Ira Iohnson, Bill Keig, Ben Rippe, Blair Smith, Bob Neidlinger, Bay Smith, lack Wolf, and Bob Zollner. Martha Iane Bliss had as her committee heads: Mary Ferrario, uniforms, Phylis Lapham, meetings, Dorothy Nightingale, fourth period cutting, and Marge McAnally, grounds. Law enforcers commanded by Harry Thayer in the spring are shown above. Committee heads who Worked with Barbara Currier were: Pat Kelly, uniforms, Pepper Metten, meetings, Peggy Aitken, student body cutting, Florence Ann Sheridan, fourth period cutting, and Marge Green, grounds. was .Q A Q , K X gs adm: Sc A ' S QS?

Therefore, in the brief moment of our departure, let us, the grad- uating class, pause for a moment and recall just what has taken place dur- ing the past four years. In the fall of 1937, old Tamalpais received into its oaken halls a motley array of wide-eyed, very scared Freshman, not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the experience of being transformed overnight from important eighth graders to the meanest, most unpromising creatures on God's green earth-High School Freshman. That first year was one of trial and error, in which we learned more practical knowledge than we ever had before. As we recall them now, the outstanding impressions of the year were our of being initiated, and our awe of those self important upper-classmen. With the advent of the next year, as Sophomores, came the thrill of ex- hibiting our wisdom before and lording it over Freshman. We were indeed getting up in the world, and we wanted everyone to know about it. During that year, several of our number began to show promise in vari- ous activities, and, strangely enough, the rumor went through the upper classes that maybe we might have something to offer, after all. Many were skeptical, however, for who could equal the record of those mighty Seniors? And then we were upper-classmen. What a thrill it was to be known as Iuniors! Our days of insignificance were over, and we began to enlarge our spheres of activity to include not only clubs and sports, but politics as well. We began to be recognized as the prospective leaders of the school, and with that recognition came a new feeling of importance and responsibility. The years hadlflown so fast that we were left breathless in the face of our last year at We looked about us and felt the rest of the school depending on us for leadership. We held practically all the positions of im- portance. Under-classmen gazed at us in awe, and our superiors considered us with respect. The world was ours. It was doubtless one of the greatest years of our lives, and instead of looking forward to graduating, we found ourselves unconsciously looking backward, wishing it could last just a little longer. With the prospect of being thrust out into the world on our own came the realization of all that we had gained from Tam, and what it means to us. And so, Tam, Thou of the Sacred Mountain, whose heart cherishes so many fond memories, and in whose wooden halls echo the hopes and fears of such countless numbers, the graduating class of Iune, 1940, Salute Thee!

For only the second time in the history of Tamalpais, a student was re-elected president of the Student Body. This noteworthy fete was accom- plished by Art Baird, who headed the organization in the fall semester of '39, as well as in the spring semester of l4O. A The Baird regime saw the organization of a governing body which has done a great deal in the advancement of the school--the Student Con- gress. Since the members of this group have a voice in all its functions, the organization has contributed another portion to the end which Tamalpdis' governing bodies have been striving to reach --true democracy, Q In an endeavor to create a friendly spirit between all time bitter ene- mies, Tamalpais Indians and San Rafael Bulldogs joined hands and present- ed another successful Ioint Dance in the San Rafael gym in the early pcirt of March. The music was furnished by the Tamalpais Dance Orchestra, un- der the direction ot Mr. Clifford Moore. In the spring the freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, showed what talent their individual classes possessed by presenting stage shows to the Student Body. Those elected to work with President Art Baird in the fall were: Bill Keig, vice presidentp Catherine McLean, secretaryg Conrad Caprin, treasurer: and Dex Luce, yell leader. President Baird's co-workers in the spring were: Bob Elliott, vice pres- ident, Catherine McLean, secretary, Dick Miller, treasurer, and Dex Luce, yell leader. Psge forty-three J Pat Higgins , Girls' Association D The Tamalpais Girls' Association closed again on another successful year of activity with Pat Higgins as prexy in the spring, Yvonne Engelman in the fall, and Miss Mabel lane White as dean of girls. The two semesters, as usual, found the girls' having their quota of good times, working hard to make things a success, climaxed in the spring by the annual Parents' Tea which took place in the Mead Theater. The program presented featured a Cavalcade of Song and Dance, portraying entertain- ment as it was in the days of lavender and lace up to the present time oi swing. At the beginning of each of the two semesters, a Freshman Reception was given for the incoming girls by the high senior girls. These receptions enabled the new girls to get better acquainted. To celebrate the heart interest, a Valentine Party, now an annual event at Tamalpais, was presented in the Assembly Hall. The girls danced and partook of refreshments before returning home. The annual tall Iinx was cancelled. this year in ,favor of a Girls' Ban- quet. This took place on December 15 and was given for the outgoing senior girls. With the Christmas spirit prevailing, dinner and dancing, plus a Senior Will and Prophecy, the affair was a great success. Instead of the Baby Day a Gir1s' Day was held on March 15. In the afternoon a fashion show was presented, with girls from Tam doing the mod- eling, climaxed by a Girls' Leap Year Dance. The dance was given i.n Wood Auditorium with Stardust as the theme. ' Officers for the fall were: Pat Higgins, presidentg Mary Smith, vice pres- identg Patsy Kelly, secretary, Barbara Elliott, yell leader. Spring officers were: Yvonne Engelman, president: Lorraine Pepper Metten, vice president, Patsy Kelly, secretaryg and Pat Higgins, yell leader. Page forty-four .f,. . Q.

The News With its usual quota of publiticy items, story getting, cmd good times in general, the Tamalpais NEWS once again closed a successful year under the advisorship oi Mr. I. R. George, with Mr. Iules Chourre handling the print- ing end of the paper. As a revolutionary move for the Spring semester, a new press was add- ed which changed the size of the paper from a four column to a five column tabloid, modernizing and improving the appearence of the NEWS. On May 10, the journalism class presented the annual Barn Dance, now a tradition of the school. With hay, whiskered cowboys, and bashful farm girls, this affair was one of the most successful dances of the Spring semester. The College of Publications at the University of California again spon- sored two press conventions, one in each half of the year. Iack Calhoun entered the news writing contest and won a gold cup for the school and a medal for himself with the best story turned in. The Editorial staft for the Fall was made up of Iohnny Walker, editor, Dick Miller, sports' editor, lean Landrock, manager. Iournalists in the fall were Eugene Brynes, Iack Calhoun, Walter Derr, Herb Spear, Yvonne Engelinan, lack Oglesby, Mary Lou Porcaro, Mario Re- galia, and Lauretta Tompkins. Leading the NEWS for the spring semester were Dick Miller, editor, Iack Calhoun, assitant editor, Mario Regalia, sports' editor, Yvonne Engelman, manager. The staff is shown above. Jack Oglesby Ned Stephens The Pai In preparing the l940, leap-year PAI, we tried to keep in rnind not the fact that this book has kept the cup, presented by the California Secretarial School tor the best year-book produced under Sl000, at Tamalpais for the last four years, but that this book must be an accurate record ol the past term's activities and be an interesting souvenir Worthy of more than one thumbing through. In an attempt to do this We scrapped many a page of copy and sub- stituted pictures, We tried to present a picture of every activity someplace in the book. To make the book a real souvenir, we have put sketches of familiar school scenes on the division pages and added a page of photographs of the campus. In spite of the accent on pictures, you will find that the Written material is oi good quality. The shortage of space and the able stall has produced copy that is above the usual standard. This year's PAI was started by Iohn Walker who got as far as making the tirst rough outline ot the book and appointing the stall before graduating. Your editor took over then to do the hundred and one things necessary in putting out a PAI. A great deal oi credit should go to Manager Ned Stephens for his work without which this book would not have been possible.

With the return of such veterans as lack Flagerman, Lee Hamilton, Les Chrisman, Pat Flagerman, and Melvin Clapp it seemed as if Tam was doom- ed for something rare, a sucessful season. Practice games were scheduled with Iefferson, Alameda, and Poly High Schools. Tam won but one of these, this from Iefferson, Zl-6. ln league competition the warriors disappointed high-spirited Coach George Gustaf- son by Winning but three, losing two and tieing one. Season scores were: Tam 21, Jefferson 6, Tam O, Alameda 6, Tam O, Santa Rosa 9, Tam 20, Analy 0, Tam U, Polly 19, Tam 7, Petaluma O, Tam 6, Napa 6, Tam 6, Vallejo 13. The season was climaxed in grandeur by the Tamalpais defeat of San Rafael by the score of 13-O, and the taking of third place in the North Bay League. Outstanding in the Tam eleven was Captain Lee Hamilton, and the brother combination of lack and Pat Flagerman. Pat Flagerman, Lee Hamilton, Les Chrisman, Iohn Plane, Mel Clapp, Lion- el Avilla, Ben Rippe, Dave Bowman, Conrad Caprin, lack Machado, and lack Flagerman comprised the first eleven.

Coaches Benetield and Potts, had high hopes at the start ot the year when the lads took allot their practice games with ease. But in League competition things got black. Wenslott and Witsch, ends, Chandler and Hamilton, tackles, Elliott CCD and Arata, guards, Iohnson, center, Stutz and Knapp, halves, Woodward, lull, and Pierce QCD, quarter, made up the regular starting lineup. The practice scores Were: Tam 13, Lowell Reserves 6, Tam 12, Ieflerson U, Tam l3, St. Mary's O, Tam 33, St. Ignatius O.

Tennis Falling below all expectations, Coach Clifford Moore's unlimited net- men dropped out of the race for the NBL crown early in the year by being knocked over in two of their first three matches. The veteran team which captured the crown last fall, won all of their practice matches and then proceeded to slump. First loss was to Santa Rosa 3-2 in the league opener. Petaluma fell before the lnjuns by the same score, and then Napa reversed the score again. Mel Klyce, who did his share of work in taking the pennant last fall and spring, was elected to captain the squad for this season. Several shifts were made in the squad during the season, with lim Ricksecker, Captain Mel Klyce, Bill Woods, Bill Reeve, Bud Cauch, Ed Ables. and Frank Schaal doing the honors.

Though not a scoring leader, it was Captain Cfor two yearsl Mario Re- galia who steadied the boys during those tense moments. lt was Freaks work off the backboard and smooth floorwork that saved many a game for the Indians. The regular starting five was Art Baird, Vern Coleman, Mario Regalia, lack Flagerman, and Iohn Mahoney, with Baird and Begalia alternating be- tween center and forward. Subs who received letters were Stan Bliss and Harold Iackson.

B Basketball Hit hard by the weigh-in, Coach George Gustafson was forced to build his team around two returning veterans, lack Wolf and lim Woodward. However, after the first practice games had been played with not too hectic results, a fair season was anticipated. The league this season boasted some of the best teams in years. League scores were as follows: Tam 18, Vallejo 26, Tam 11, Santa Rosa 22, Tam 19, Analy 20, Tam 27, Healdsburg 28, Tam 20, San Rafael 34, Tam 19, Petaluma 21, Tam 16, Napa 29, Tam 26, San Rafael 27. Although the casaba season is now history and the Papooses were de- feated in all eight starts, they can still be called a bumper crop of casabans' because many games were lost in the closing seconds by one point. Basketeers who comprised the starting group were lack Wolf and Bob Aregger, forwards, lim Woodward, and Bob Silvey, guards, and Walt Van Muers, center. Able subs were Bob Corwin, Iohnny Parsons, Vincent Law- ford and Stanley I-larries. Iack Wolf was high scorer forthe babes with thirty-one points in six games.

C Basketball The best C material since the fall of '35, when the Tam casaba tossers annexed the Southern Section of the N.B.L., had the misfortune to meet the best '20 quintets in the North Bay League in recent years. The result: A fatal season. However, the season was somewhat salvaged for Coach Wal- lace Andrews by the quints defeat of their ancient rival, San Rafael, 16-14. Splitting two practice games with San Rafael, the Papooses looked good on most counts, but lacked the necessary spirits. Comprising the first string were Dave Kirby and Nobuo Kuwatani, vet- erans, Art Lefty Schallock, Art Argiewicz, and Bill Scobe Watsonp with Booth Boots Rice, Bill Chamberlin, and Bob Collin filling in ably. N.B.L. scores tor the season included the following: Tam 17, Vallejo 28, Tam 11, Napa 255 Tam 16, San Rafael 14.

Swimming With few dependable veterans returning from which to build a formid- able squad, Coach Relzy Aikin's unlimited gang seemed destined for an average season. However, in early meets the A Splashers showing promise were Captain Bob Von Staden, Fred Keast, George Walker, Gerald Kliewe, Frank Galli, Dick. Costa and Roy Graham. Under Captain lack Donahue the B's seemed right in line for the recap- turing of the N. C. S. title as a host of returning veterans, supplemented by some capable rookies, gave Mentor Aikin little trouble in forming his B ag- gregation. The backstroke record was cut when Roane Sias clipped five- tenths ol a second oil for a new 31:8 fifty. The seventy-five yard Medley team of Roane Sias, Austin McCallum and lack Donahue set a new record ot 41:25 the old pool record was 42:7.i Other B swimmers who were counted on for places were Wally Las- ter, Dave Bowman, Dave Ehrenielt, Stephen Hicks, Aldo Barsotti, George Landrock, Iohnny Hayne and Ed Bullard. Meets were scheduled with most of the city, peninsula and east bay high schools teams lor practice.

Baseball Although it was too early in the season to predict an outcome for Coach Gerald Wendering's model of a baseball team at going to press, tive return- ing veterans, Mancebo, Machado, Wensloff, Mahoney and Regalia, were ex- pected to cause the nine to mesh and uphold a growing Indian tradition and Win the eighth consecutive championship. To date the Indians have lost but one game, that to Santa Rosa, and are in a four-Way tie for first place in the N.B.L. The results indicate that the nine will fare no Worse than being co-champs.

A Track If the annexation of the track and field trophy at the Napa Relays was any indication of What Cletus 'lDoc Graves' spikesters would do in this seasons meets, the lads should have come close to those coveted gold track shoes.

Transfers Walt Long, Don Forbes and Sidney Vogensen, hurdles, discus and mile respectively, placing in the Napa Relays, were depended on for needed places. This season inter-gym and inter-class contests brought to the front many lads who would have remained in a state ot lethargy if it were not for the efforts of B Coach Glidden Benefield and Doc Graves. Practice meets With Balboa, Analy and Iefferson High Schools were scheduled in order that the tracksters would be ready for the Sub-league meet. t Although skeptical about the outcome for the Cinder lads this season Mentor Graves stated at going-to-press time that with the lowering of the B exponents many outstanding lightweights bolstered his squad. is tim Page si xty-six Front row ileft to right!--Richard Sheperd, frugal, Robert Barnes, Eugene Ardito, Steve Duff, Lloyd Perkins, Don Eggers, Glenn Gunnison, Wayne Berry, Jerry Spears, Bill Seley, Jack Callaghan, Gene Wegscheideng, Neal Maggiora imgrl.

This was the statement made by Coach Glidden Benfield at the start of the season when asked how things looked for his B and C squads for this year. At the time of the writing, it looks as though Coach Benefield was quite right, especially lor the C's. The B's worked hard all season to make up for the loses, and were right up with the leaders at the end of the practice season. kBoys who were dependable point getters included: Boss Ieffrey, Bob Aregger, Ed Morehouse, Walt Filippi, Ray Smith, Floyd Pettit, Stan Pierce, Doll Bowman, Harry Bowman, Ralph Setterholm, Ierry Worrell, Bob Hicks, and Iohn Parsons.

At the time of this Writing the Indian golfers had played all oi their matches, losing only to Vallejo, the league leader. Vallejo, however, still has to tace Santa Rosa, and an upset victory by the Panthers would put the Indians in a tie tor first With the Apaches.
