The board mets once a month with Principal Sonneman to take action on the problems that arise concerning the school. Mr. Alfred Hansen is president of the board and Mr. Oral Mitchell, who graduated from WU, is clerk. The other three members are Mr. Morris Rasmussen, Mr. Eric Olsen, also Washington grad- uates, and Mr. Milton Hansen.

Four years ago one hundred and forty of you entered Washington Union High School as freshmen. Some of your class have transferred to other schools, others have discontinued school before graduation. Now ninety-eight of you are leaving as the Class of l95O. Nineteen hundred and fifty is a crucial year in our history. In the year of l95O, Cali- fornia is celebrating one hundred years of Statehood, America enters the second half of the twentieth century. The mid-century finds our nation at peace, and experiencing a new peak of pros- perity, but full employment, such as we have been accustomed to in the years immedi- ately preceding l950, no longer exists. There are over four million people unemployed in America today, Two million high school graduates and four hundred thousand college graduates will be in the employment market this month looking for work, Jobs will not be so easy to get as they were during the prosperous war and postwar years. You will have to compete with your fellows to get a job. If and when you are employed, you will have to deliver the goods to keep your job. If you don't, your employer can hire someone else who will. Likewise those who are going on to college or university will also have to achieve to remain in school. Remember what we have said about grades and grade points! Washington Union High School has graduated over twenty-five hundred Seniors since the first class was graduated in l896, over a half century ago, The great majority of these have proved to be excellent citizens, and some of them have been outstandingly successful in life. l trust that each of you graduates of the Class of l950 will add your contribution so that the fine reputation of Washington Union High School, made by its alumni in the years past, will continue in the years that lie ahead.

Four years ago 133 frightened and meek little freshmen entered Washington Union and were soon transformed into blase seniors. We, the trembling frosh, made Ed Robinson, most courageous of us all, class president: Roy Nakagawa, vice president, Avis Western, secretary, and Norma Coehlo, treasurer. The executive committee was composed of Joann Taylor, Paul Perry and Henry Teraoka. The class sponsors were Miss Ephoydia Larsen and Mr. George Dirksen. After winning the majority of initiation events from its rivals, the class of '49, we felt proud and victorious. Our class party was a hay ride, followed by a weiner roast. On May Day we were proud to display the charms of ten of our girls chosen as queen attendants. They were: Marjorie Jensen, Cleoma Brooks, Jacqueline Wheeler, Irma Power, Doris Neilsen, Laura Belle Mitchell, Naotni Lambert, Virginia Linder, Velma Mae Daughtry, Jo- ann Taylor, La Verne Coito, and Carol Klassen. In our sophomore year we again elected Ed Robinson, president, Don Wash, vice president, Laura Belle Mitchell, secretary, and Harold Nielsen, treasurer. Elected to the executive com- mittee were Virginia Linder and Wayne Jackson. Doris Nelson Bill Goss Floyd Harlan Secretary Vice-President Treasurer i COUNSELORS Miss Margaret Litchfield Mr. George Dirksen Remember our junior year and how excited we were on becoming mighty upper classmen? Officers of the junior class were: Don Wash, president, Henry Teraoka, vice president, Shirley Fischer, secretary, and Harold Nielsen, treasurer. Those on the executive committee were: Bonnie Horton, Lawrence Schwabenland and Wayne Jackson. The class sponsors were Mrs. Eleanor Kellum and Mr. Dirksen. Then the big event occurred. We received our class rings and sweaters. Remember how we wore our new sweaters at every opportunity and showed off our rings to the envying freshmen and sophomores? Junior Dress Up Day gave us a chance to display our originality in designing and wearing different costumes. Although we couldn't compete with Dior or Fath of Paris, we managed to get a lot of laughs and fun from our ideas. We were all proud when Joann Taylor was selected as junior representative to Girls' State at Sacramento. Since the Junior-Senior Prom was a not-too-distant event, we decided to finance it by selling magazines and by operating the school store. lt was decidedly the most thrilling event af the year. We chose for the theme Forty-niners and held our banquet and ball at Club 509 in Fresno. We climaxed a wonderful year with a swimming party. At last, we became seniors and at the first assembly we could be heard loudly proclaiming the fact with our yell, s-s-sen-i-i-ior! We elected Marvin Taylor class president, Bill Goss vice-president, Doris Nelson secretarv and Floyd Harlan treasurer. Those on the executive committee were: Deward Bobbitt and Michiko Suo. Next came the most wonderful of all days-Senior Ditch Day. Most of us went skiinq and tobboganing at Badger Pass. No casualties were sustained-and what fun!!-what food!!! -We all ate and ate, and ate! Arsenic And Old Lace , a spine tingling and uproariously funny mystery-comedy was chosen for our senior play. The cast consisted of Don Wash, Jean Petro, Dorothy Hansen, Don Ostergard, Carol Sonneman, Bryant Wilson, Douglas Sullivan, Fred Rambus, Charles Larson, Jock Johansen, Don Ahlmeyer and Lawrence Schwabenlond. Those who proved themselves Einsteins by becoming life members in the CSF were! Doris Dahlgren, Ollive Gandy, Virginia Linder, Doris Nelson and Mary Lou Platten. Our class sponsors were Miss Margaret Litchfield and Mr. George Dirksen. Now that graduation is drawing near, we have many wonderful memories of Washington Union, but find that we are feeling rather sad upon parting from our Alma Mater and all the friends we made here, We shall always remember the dances, field trips, assemblies and games which sum up a grand four years!

Second row: L- Tum Counselors Mr, Robert Thompsofx ' umm' Beginning the year of l947, l75 scared freshman, who are now iuniors, entered school. Electing officers at the first class meeting they chose Alan Pence, president, Clyde Prickett, vice-president, Pat Singer, treasurer and Dorothy Rambo, secretary. After losing on initiation day, the freshmen became officially known as scrubs and entered the back door wearing green ribbons for the next week. With a decreased enrollment, they became sophomores and elected Clyde Prickett, presi- dent, Don Boumback, vice president, JoAnn White, treasurer and Shirley Fike, secretary. Soon after they became juniors, the class rings and sweaters arrived which left everyone raving for weeks.

Buddy Kellerhals was elected vice-president, Dorothy Steele, secretary, Barbara Lyster treasurer, and Barbara Portis and Harvey Rambo, executive committee. Freshmen initiation day found the sophomores and freshmen in a traditional battle of the classes. Having been defeated in their freshmen year, the sophomores were determined to win, and so they did. During the March of Dimes drive the class of '52 did quite well. Besides what each person contributed, the class gave SiO from its treasury. They contributed 553.05 altogether, Nine members of the sophomore class were on the CSF at the end of the first semester. They were Alice Gandy, Dorothy Toomajian, Pansy Tucker, Barbara Lyster, Margie Manly, Bill Caughell, Emmet Christensen, Mikio Suo and Dennis Rube.

Dwain Cozby, Gerald Mc- Carthy, Carol Christensen and Alice Gandy observe a speci- men of a lizard while Mr. Gor- don Montague, biology instruc- tor, points out its characteris- tics. Courses in Latin include not only learning to communicate in the language, but also teach students to appreciate the ideals and customs of these foreign countries. Shown in oral recitation is Kiyoto Ara- kawa. D. Merell, R. Wise, J. White, A. Hol- lingshead, G. Paredes, R. Bopp, P. Cain and D. Koop are among the students in the combined girls' and boys' PE classes who learned different steps in folk dancing. Some of the many dance steps learned were Mademoiselle From Armentiers, Dig For The Clams, Bell Bottom Trousers, Schottish and The Vir- ginia Reel. Under the instruction of Miss Mar- garet Litchfield and Miss Marjorie Barnard, the folk dancing combined a form of exercise with entertain- ment, while teaching grace and pre- cision of movement. X Learning how to adapt their ideas with their hands in the art class are C. Delgado, P. Singer, Inez Wyngar- den, Roberta Lowder and Don Gies- brecht, as they design posters fcr student advertising. Art provides the medium of expres- sion by which those with original ideas are enabled to display their tal- ents beneficially. For the student who intends to go into the field of commercial art, the training he re- ceives develops a sense of skill and exactness. Clyde Prickett, acting as student die rector, gives directions to the junior chorus as it reviews a musical selec- tion. Under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Carpenter, the newly organized junior chorus is progressing in sight reading and vocal quality. Negro spirituals, pieces of classical and semi-classical nature and sacred music are included in the repertoire of the chorus. Building utility cabinets, small tables and lamps are only a few of the many articles A. Malen, J. Mc- Carthy and F. Dilly make in the woodshop class under the direction of Mr. George Dirksen. Woodshop develops skillfulness and forms a broad background for work in carpentry, cabinet making and general repairing upon graduation. SERS L J ...iw-Q Watching closely while receiving some instruction from Mr. Armando Santo- pietro, are some auto mechanics stu- dents. Auto mechanics provides an excellent background and prepara- tion for those interested in making things run. F. Rambus, senior, is reciting his lesson to fellow senior problems classmates with the aid of a map. In order to understand the workings of the U, S. government, a course such as senior problems is needed to explain the factors of government on which we stand, Qualities of citizen- ship, world problems, current events and social and political laws are a few of the phases covered in this course. vi P'-N These geometry students are working out an intricate mathematics prob- lem. Mathematics has appropriately been called food for the mind and provides excellent academic training for college preparatory. Algebra, plane and solid geometry and trigo- nometry are offered for courses of study. J. Freeman, Mr. Oliver Macornber, in- structor, J. Cox and J. D.

Although no new ski champs were discovered, many of the C. S. F, 'ers had their first try at tumbling down a hull on skins. Officers for the spring semester were Ollive Gandy, president, Jo- Ann White, secretary. Kiyoto Arakawa and Doris Dahlgren were again elected to their previous offices. The big event at the year was the C. S. F. trip to San Francisco where they stayed tor two days. At the completion ot the hrst semester Doris Dahlgren, Olllvc Gandy, Virginia Linder, Doris Nelson, and Mary Lou Platten were seal- bearer life members ot the society, If Carol Sonneman, Betty Uyemo- ruko, and Janet Broker make the C.

The Hatchet tied with another valley paper in winning an excellent award from the San Joaquin Valley Scholastic Press Association at a press conference in April. The Hatchet received the highest number of points of any school paper out of the 43 that were judged by the association, Some of the some features that were used last year-the Spindle, the Guess Who column, and the Question of the Day-were again featured in this year's paper and a joke column, Have You Heard This One? was added. Each paper contained a clever cartoon which was drawn by Geraldine Steele, senior. Many effec- tive pictures were also printed which helped to illustrate the main points of many of the stories. 1 Rob Several feature stories on guidance and educational departments were printed in the paper eff Thom and stories on boy and girl relationships also appeared. Dson, adv, By making a profit on each month's issue of the paper, the staff managed to pay a debt that se was incurred last year and make money matters simpler for next year's staff. Members of the staff attended two iournalism conferences at Fresno State and Carol Sonneman, Pot Singer and Joann Taylor were chosen by the journalism class ta attend an annual conference in San Francisco in late April.

Besides the three regular sports-volleyball, basketball and baseball being played-speedball was played for he first time this year and made a hit with both team members and sports fans.

The brain storm of having such an organization occured to several of the members last summer when they began to practice, Other members were added when school began. Making its grand debut at the Junior class play, the group has also played at dinners, box socials, parties and dances. After playing at a couple of the school dances, the swingsters were considered by many students to be better than the professional bands normally hired for these affairs. With the proceeds from the dances, the organization has already purchased new music stands and a pair of high hat cymbals. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo , Music, Music, Music , Dear Hearts and Gentle People and Dreamer's Holiday is a sample of the type of music played. The repertoire is made up of mostly popular music. Practice makes perfect is a saying that can be well applied to the Swing Band, for be- sides their club meeting time, they practice three times a week on their own time.

WJUAZKIQJ The orchestra consisting of 36 members this year, did not perforrn in many activities in comparison with last year, They, however, did play for May Day, two plays and a few other productions, Different individuals from this organization and string quartet played for get-togethers in the community. This year, the main event for the orchestra was divided between May Day and the Spring Concert. There were no officers in this group for the year. All performances were under the direction of Mr. George Nixon. R. Negrete, J. Wheeler, A. Nakata, R. Mitchell. Mr, Nixon Mr. George Rapp and Carol Borg. agile fbafldkzg Briefs The Darling Brats , an uproarious comedy, was presented by the junior class December 8 and 9 in the school auditorium. Winning awards for best actor and actress went to Carol Berg as Aunt Agatha, the wealthy and attractive widow, who mothers four orphaned nephews and nieces, and DeRoy Golston, as A. A. Crabb, her cantankerous suitor who, to put it mildly, hates children in all forms and sizes, especially the Darling ones. The Darling brats were laughingly portrayed by Peggy Cain, Vito Cassino, Mary Hamblen and Dorothy Stenberg, who as Bobs, Hank, Tess and Cyn kept the audience in stitches. lt seems Aunt Agatha couldn't decide whether to marry Crabby or another suitor, a rootin' tootin' cowhand from Arizona, portrayed by Donald Baumback. Again we find those two favorite Darling brats, Peggy Cain and Vito Cassino, at it, each trying in his own humorous and often disastrous way to convince Auntie whom she should marry, An excellent character part was played ably and amusingly by Jerry Sue Dohogne as the colored maid, while Norman Fenlason as Red Vinton, Cyn's boy friend and James Adylott as Tess's boy friend supplied the necessary teenage heart interest. Joyce Fostor as Mrs. Vinton, Rod's mother, was excellent as the world weary neighbor who never hesitated to let the world know of her many and imagined ills. Completely surprising was her marriage to A. A. Crabb at the end. That professional touch given the play was the result of the capable direction of Mr. George Rapp, dramatics coach, who made the play one of the best presented in several years.

The action of the play takes place in the old Brewster home in Brooklyn, New York, where two maiden aunts, Abby and Martha, live with their nephew, Teddy, played by Bryant Wilson, who being more than a little dim-witted believes that he is President Theodore Roosevelt, and is busily planning the Panama Canal. Abby and Martha Brewster are kindhearted and sympathetic souls who rent their rooms to poor and elderly gentlemen. ln fact, their naturally sympathetic nature leads them to administer arsenic via elderberry wine to twelve lonely old men, whom they feel it their duty to put out of their misery. Things get complicated when the aunts played by Jean Petro, as Abby, and Dorothy Hansen, as Martha, reveal the fact that twelve of their poor gentlemen are buried in the cellar, to their nephew Mortimer, played by Don Ostergard. He is a dramatic critic and plans to marry Elaine Harper, played by Carol Sonneman, the daughter of a family friend, the Rev. Dr. Harper, portrayed by Fred Rambus. To further complicate matters Jonathan Brewster, the long disappeared brother of Teddy and Mortimer, played by Don Wash, who oddly enough resembles Boris Karloff, appears upon the scene with a somewhat weird individual known as Dr. Einstein, played by Doug Sullivan. lt seems Jonathan had always been of a cruel nature, and was disliked by his family, so that his sudden return home more than frightens and perturbs his aunts, who do their best to persuade him to leave. Because of Jonathan's love of crime and charges of murder, he has been forced to change his appearance often by having his friend, Dr. Einstein give him a new face by a series of operations, for which he is particularly skilled. Jonathan and Dr. Einstein in an attempt to dispose of a corpse accidently stumble across a body in the cellar, where they went to bury their corpse. Jonathan mentions this fact to his aunts, who unsuspectingly tell him of the twelve bodies buried in the cellar. Jonathan refuses to leave upon the demand of Mortimer, say- ing that he knows the secret and will tell if he is forced to leave. Mortimer is stumped, until finally aid comes in the form of officers Klein and Brophy, who come to the Brewster home to get Officer O'Hara, who has spent the night at the Brewster residence. Officers Klein and Brophy recognize Jonathan's face and become suspicious. Jonathan tells the officers that there are thirteen bodies buried in the cellar and accuses his aunts of the crime, and then angered by Klein's reference to his looking like Boris Karloff, attempts to choke the of- ficer to death. Jonathan is knocked unconscious, then handcuffed and led away by the police. ln the meantime Mortimer dashes in with the news that Teddy must be sent to a home for the feeble minded at Happy Dole. Aunt Abby and Martha naturally protest, saying that they cannot be separated from Teddy. They refuse to let Teddy be taken away unless they can accompany him and live with him at Happy Dale. They convince Mr. Witherspoon, director of Happy Dale, by their sincerity and the police back up the aunts' request after hearing the story of the thirteen bodies. All ends happily with Mortimer and Elaine planning their immediate marriage, Jonathan captured and aunts Abby and Martha entertaining Mr. Witherspoon over iyou guessed itl, a bottle of elderberry wine.

Cain. memvm Qqzssimf American Passport, a three act play, was successfully given in a slightly serious manner by the dramatics class March 9 and IO. Darlene Trogdon and Don Wash received the awards for the best performers, while Peggy Coin received an honorable mention. Don Wash played the part of the good-natured father, Mr. Hamilton, who found he had let his family get completely out of hand, while Jean Petro portrayed his wife, Bertha. Darlene Trogdon portrayed the child of l2, who certainly had her share of curiosity for a child of her age. The two teen-age children, Dick lplayed by Don Ostergardl, and Judy, lportrayed by Judy Allenl, were quite a' problem to their father, Mr. HamiIton's rich Aunt Jen, humorously played by Peggy Cain, added gaiety to the play as she never hesitated to say what she thought in very acrid tones. Others who helped to make the play a success were Carol Berg, who played a sweet quiet girl who was in love with Dick, and Mrs Schwartz, a neighbor who became very irritated at the Hamiltons. Also Jack Johansen well played the part of Mr. Hamilton's employer who was Q friendly, but direct man, while Bryant Wilson played the boy who was in love with Judy. The story was based on Arnericanisrn versus Communism and, as usual, turned out happily when Mr. Hamilton got his family back on the right track. Seated: J. Johansen, C. Berg, D. Trogdon, P. Cain.

My ,way 79 Washington Union presented its annual May Day celebration on May 5 carrying out a custom which originated in i922 when the first May Day queen was chosen. As is the practice, a May Day Queen was selected from the senior class by the popular vote of the student body. Chosen by vote was Doris Dahlgren. Attending her were twelve freshmen girls! Connie Robles, Sara Sislian, Marjorie Anderson, Joyce Wilson, Joan Grimes, Peggy Bunton, Nancy Borba, Magalene Lee, Virginia Bentley, Lois Moore, JoAnn Lee and Gladys Pedersen. They were chosen by the elementary schools from which they graduated. The crown bearer and the flower girl were chosen from the school from which the queen graduated. The crown bearer and flower girl were Richard Ransom and Tina Herman. Under the direction of Mr. George Nixon and Mr. Virgil Joseph, band and orchestra in- structors, the band played Pomp and Circumstances , Bluff King HaII and Country Gardens for the queen's processional with her court and the May pole dances. In the latter, as is customary, eleven elementary schools participated. Various exhibits of science, mathematics, English, journalism and homemaking were shown while concession stands were operating on the school grounds. To bring to a close the activities of the day, an afternoon baseball game was held between the Panther varsity and the Fowler Redcats, Washington's long time rival.

The summer seems to go by so fast and the day finally arrives. You seem to be shaking and all aflutter and you don't know what to do. Your knees just feel like a dish of hot butter. When you finally step upon the bus which is crowded with the upper classmen, you feel like you want to turn and run. But a little voice says, go ahead. When the bus arrives at the school you don't know whether you want to get off or not. But when you do, brotherg you're caught in a school rush. As you climb the steps to the building everyone turns to stare. You just want to turn and run. The first bell rings and you don't know what to do. Everyone rushes to the auditorium. All you do is follow the crowd. The other classes give yells, trying to out-do each other. The freshmen sink in their seats and listen. The principal steps up to give a speech. The freshmen listen with eager attention. Finally you go to your coun- selor who gives you your schedule and key. Your fears are finally gone. When the bell rings and sixth period is out, everyone is happy that the doy is done. You catch the bus and off you go, waiting for the next day to come. Joan Grimes THE TRAVELERS There was a man who traveled far, His name was known by many, He hfad seen big cities, and slept under stars, And watched the people with plenty. He had watched the people on Broadway, He had seen the movie stars, He had even seen the President, And his army of bodyguords. He has no worries, ond he has no cares, He lives off the people he meets, He cuts the lawn, and polishes the stairs. For a plate of something to eat. When he is full and satisfied, He stays and goes to sleep, And dreams of things he used to do And things he likes to keep. And then he would travel Thru friendship and strife For this is the story Of a traveIer's life. Charles Shepherd SCHOOL I have always liked school But some think l'm a fool. I go to six different classes With many other lads and losses. I sit somewhere to do my studies, But end up chatting with my buddies. At noon I go across the street To play some music: Bebop and reet. When the bell rings, to class I can't be late For tardy sIips'get in my hand by fate. I scurry like the wind to get to my seat. The last bell, l'm always trying to beat. Once l'm there, The teacher starts pulling his hair. I really try to be nice, But I tried that before-twice As soon as class is over, I rush to the door, But the teacher says, Be seated until I count four! Soon school is out for the day, And you can hear everyone say, Hoorayl Hooray! No more school today. Sarah Sisilan YOUNG LIN When I was iust a little boy, I used to run and play. I used to sit and dream and dream Of this forthcoming day. I used to dream of windows And beautiful lamps that shine, I dreamed of frosty ocean winds And the towering timberline. Irv time I tasted those winds, And saw the sea waves high, I climbed that highest mountain, And touched the pillared sky. When l am yet an older man And my lite comes near the end, l'Il long for dreams of days gone by And wish I were young Lin again. LIN more SPRING LAMB While riding through the countryside, I saw a black lamb that I espied. My sister had seen it. Oh! She sighed, Look at that lamb, He's trying to hide next to his mother, right by her side. Then his mother lengthened her stride, making it harder for him to hide next to his mother, right by her side. She didn't notice, for hers was the pride to show the black lamb to the whole countryside. Ray Armstrong MY POEM When I start to write a poem, The rhythm is always wrong, And hours later when it's written It sounds iust like a song. The English in it isn't so good, The words don't fit iust right. I wasn't made ta be a poet, Cause l'm not so very bright.

Wmvfy fQ2a!b'aW Ending the season with a three win and two loss rec- ord, Coach Harry Gower's Panthers finished third in Shasta League play and compiled 89 points to their op- ponents' 69. After losing the opening practice game to Selma, 9-0, the Panthers also failed to score the next week as they went down in defeat before the Fowler Redcats, l3-0. Playing a team from a higher league, the Panther eleven felt the sting of defeat a third time as a strong Madera team crossed the WU goal line five times to win, 32-7. The Caruthers Blue Raiders were the unfortunate vic- tims of a rejuvenated team as the Panthers scared three touchdowns in the third quarter to win, 28-0. lnaugurating their first league start, the varsity rolled to a 26-6 victory over the Central Bears in what was slated to be a close game. The following week the Panthers tangled with the Kerman Lions and came out on the long end of a l2-6 score, Traveling to Chow- chilla next, the Panthers outplayed the Redskins and won, l4-6. The most crucial game of the season saw two unde- feated teams, Washington and San Joaquin Memorial clash in a game which was to decide the Shasta League title. The Memorial team ran up a 27-6 score before the final gun sounded, leaving the Panthers in solemn defeat. The next week the varsity played the final game of the season with Coalinga. This game also decided the second place holder in the league. The Panthers tried valiently, but lost a heartbreaker, l4-l3. At the end of the season the varsity chose Don Wash and Deward Babbitt as honorary captains of the year. Doug Ladd Don Wash N Deward Babbitt iry co-captains Don Wash and Dew- ibbitf.

York Coach George Rapp Beazley The varsity baseball team, coached by Mr, George Rapp, finished the season tied for fii place in the Shasta League with a record of five wins and two losses. The team was, all the way through the season, a hitting ball club, and had an overa of over 8 runs per game. Banging out a I5 to 7 win over the Selma Bears, the Panthers opened the season. In tl next League play they met the Chowchilla Redskins who they downed 9 to 5. Next tl Fowler Redcats were met and mastered 5 to l. This was followed by a 3 to O shutout af tl Kingsburg Vikings. In their second league game the Panthers swamped the Dos Palos Broncos ll to 3. Tl next game, with Central, proved to be the tightest of the league season. WU triumphs over the Grizzlies 4 to l, The Panthers next met and conquered the Coalingo basebollers by score of 20 to l2. This was followed by the scorching defeat of Avenal, one inning of whit saw l8 WU men cross home plate. The final tally was 22 to 4. This, however seemed like the end of the rope for the Panthers and they dropped the next three contests, and with them a claim for the undisputed supremacy of the Shasta Leagu Kerman handed the Panthers their first loss by a score of I2 to 3. Next in line came Sc Joaquin Memorial and Fowler, a non-league team, who took their respective contests l9 to and I3 to 5. Seated: H. Tcraoka, L. Turner, E. Seto J. McGoughy, J. O'Brien, D. Baumback.

The squad started aff with a bang as it downed the Selma Bear JVs l9 ta 5. lts winning ways continued as it downed the Fowler Redcats 9 to 5 in the second practice game. ln their first league game the Cubs took the Dos Palos Colts in camp with a decisive 6 to 2 win. This, however, was as for as their good fortune went. ln their last practice game the JVs went down at the hands of the Fresno High nine by a count of 7 to 5. The Cubs took their first league loss as they were beaten by the Central Grizzly JVs 8 to 5. The Coalinga Horned Toads JVs scraped past the Cubs in the seventh inning ta break a I2 all tie and take the ball game in Coalinga l3 to l2. The last league game found the Cubs losing to the Avenal nine by a score of l5 to lO. This brought the league record to one win and three losses. Because Mr. Carter and Mr. Milner couldn't continue their duties, the JV season was discontinued before it was quite completed. L Hansen, V. Cassana, C. Sanchez, H Ray, N Fenlason, A. Blattncr, D.

Operating under the handicap of too few players, the tennis squad, under the supervision of Miss Margaret Lichfield, girls' PE teacher, had a rather unsuccessful season. lt was Miss LichfieId's first season as tennis coach and, considering the shortage of material, she did quite well in the job. Norma Coelho, last year's singles champ, again topped the league but was beaten out in the valley playoffs, Lucille Christensen and Lena Freitas, two first year squad members, showed their inexperience as they lost all of their girls' doubles matches. Richard Riffel, another newcomer to the squad, played boy's singles, He im- proved quite a bit during the season, but still showed a lack of experience. Bill Caughell was the only other person out for tennis. He played a boy's singles match each time, but it didn't count in league standings. ln their first league match played March 3l, the racqueteers lost to Dos Palos 2 to 1, Norma toolf her match 6-0, 6-2, while the girls' doubles matches were lost. Richard dropped his 6-O, 6-4 and Lucille and Lena lost theirs 6-2, 6-O. The squad also lost to Central and Kerman by identical scores of 2 to l. Since only one member of the squad is graduating this year, there is promise of a better season next year. First row: J Anderson, R. Fleming, J, Dohogne, E Lconotti. Second row D. Steele, B.
