Our theme, therefore, is unity. We feel that nothing else can better express the attitude which American youth nlust have. Unity, essential to the composition of any yearbook, has been put into the spirit of this one. Last year we were only stimulating patriotism. This year We are trying to unite our student body in a strong bond of Ameri- eanism that will make us an outstanding group. Here, then, is the result of our efforts: the embodiment of our ideals. NVe hope that in future years this book will serve as a proper monument to these critical days.

In order to save time, it was decided that this group should draw up a tentative plan of organization to present to the students as soon as school reopened. In this way the Watsonville High School War Service Associa- tion came into being. All students, all faculty members, and all personnel employed by thc high school district automatically became members of the organization. This association is governed by an executive council composed of the president and secretary of the student body, the president and secretary of each class, the dean of girls, the vice-principal, the student body auditor, and the stamp and bond sale faculty sponsor. Representatives were also chosen from the Girls Athletic Association, the Service Club, the junior Red Cross, the Block XV, the Future Farmers of America, the Scholar- ship Society, and the Janitor Force. Officers of the council were David Leslie, president, Jim Chinn, vice- presidentg Marjorie Sheehy, secretary, and Tom Skillicorn, treasurer. Among the many projects sponsored by the council were the Fashion Tea and the Victory Garden campaign. Proceeds from these affairs went to purchase war bonds for the student body. Start Top Left: F.

OLIVER LESLIE FRANK LOCATELLI GERALD PEYTON Y- RAY PIPKIN I HARVEY RICH JOHN YOUNG In these times, when chaos and confusion threaten the world, and when America herself, the great stronghold of democracy and free thinking, has been attacked, the yearbook staff is proud to devote a page to the high school's brave sons who are carrying the fight to the enemy. Many students are doing their part in many ways. Red Cross and British War Relief work, the gathering of scrap materials, the planting of Victory Gardens, the studying of first-aid, and the purchase of War Sav- ings Stamps and Bonds are only a few of the things the students of the high school are engaging in to aid in the victory that shall be won. But there were other students who would not be content to do these things alone. They wanted to do more. Because they wanted to do more, many of they high school students have volunteered in the armed forces of the nation and are now fighting to safeguard our country. To these boys this page is dedicated. It is an honor to us to so dedicate it. Their unselfish and loyal actions fill us with pride. HARRY W. FRUSTUCK CAMPUS GYMNASIUM NEW BUILDING DEDICATION To Miss Dorothy Staud, for her friendly spirit and her sunny smile, for the way she has aided the Junior Red Cross Council in her capacity as faculty adviser, and for her constant insistance that reading is fun, the 1942 Manzanita is dedicated. Q Studying under Miss Staudls cheerful leadership will be among the most pleasant memories of many high school students. In her we see someone who really enjoys her work, who is ready for whatever fortune may bring, and who is ever more than will- ing to do her share. nGTON of Gnrls s. MacQUIDDY Superintendent of Schools HUIHIHISTHHTIUH l if T. S. MacQUlDDY Superintendent of Schools LOUISE WORTHINGTON Dean of Girls A. B. HANDSHY Vice-Principal PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Scores of Watsonville high school men are on the Hghting fronts of the world at war. Our graduates and other former students are in every branch of the armed service. Former girl students, too, are doing their part in serving the nation wherever women serve. The school is proud of the devotion of these men and women to the principles of democracy and the country which is ours. We here at school are devoted Americans also, and we feel an obligation to those hundreds who are Hghting and working. Until the war is won for us, We will devote ourselves to war service. When peace comes we will devote our- selves to helping build the peace and the new world. By unity of purpose our predecessors made of themselves staunch Americans of the present. We are determined to do no less for the future. 9 OUR GOVERNING BOARD As in the past, the Board of Trustees and the administration worked in complete harmony.

From the start the Seniors were determined to be different. Senior sweaters were bought in both blue and white, with coat, slip-on, and sleeveless styles. Class officers were Stanley McGregor, president, Gilbert Mello, vice- presidentg Irla Dyke, secretary, Arthur Gandy, treasurer, Emmet Gfroerer, yell leader, and Barbara Wall, girls athletic manager. The Scholarship Society had a large representation of seniors in its ranks this year. At the end of the hrst semester there were seven students listed as seal bearers. The Senior picnic was held at the St. Francis School for Boys. In compliance with requests that there be no student activities at night, the Junior-Senior Prom became a dinner held in the evening. The class will and prophecy was read and special entertainment was provided. Most of the money for the Prom was raised by the noon dances, whose success was due largely to the work of Marjorie Lepper and Art Gandy. Graduation this year was held in the afternoon. The graduates formed a V-for-Victory with blue gowns in a background of white gowns. The natural sadness that all Seniors feel upon leaving school was over- come by the ambition of the class members to go out into the world and write a record of achievement.

' D . FRED GIBBS Active and able, the class of '43 has emerged as a group outstanding in leadership. This quality of leadership is proved by the part juniors have taken in all school activities. In addition to playing a leading part in school affairs, the class has also supported social organizations. Leader of the Junior class this year was President Fred Gibbs. Other class officers were Fred Benich, vice-presidentg Carol Risdon, secretaryg Dick Beazell, treasurerg Mary Tada, girls athletic managerg Douglas Patterson, yell leaderg and Betty Lee Perkins, song leader. -luniors this year were among the most active classes athletically that the school has had. Girls as well as boys showed definite athletic ability and sportsmanship. The Junior class also was well represented in the Scholarship Society and played a prominent part in all its functions. Especially helpful to the Juniors was the advice and guidance of Mrs. Bate, Junior class faculty adviser. Members of the class are already looking forward toward the duties and responsibilities which shall fall upon them next year as Seniors. Already the class is organizing plans which when complete will mark the class of l43 as one of the finest senior groups in the history ofthe school. wg?

Evident, too, among the mem- bers of this group is a fine school spirit which is proved by large class atten- dance at school games and dances. This is the first class in recent school history to elect a girl president, something which demonstrates the individuality of the group. President Carolee Rodgers, by her efficiency and enthusiasm, proved herself a capable and inspiring leader. Other offlcers this year were Ed Hall, vice-president, Mary Ellen Struve, secretary, Hubert Hudson, treasurer, Phyllis Flodberg, girls athletic manager, Albert Hull, boys athletic manager, and Lester Garrett, yell leader. Scholastically, too, the sophomores ranked well up with the other classes. School clubs, almost without exception, contained a multitude of Sopho- more students. Faculty adviser for the second-year students was Miss Benham, whose work with the class accounted in a large part for the record the group established- Next year, as juniors, the Sophomores are determined to carve out new glory for themselves. Already they are planning activities which will stamp them definitely as a leading class in school history. SOPI-IOMORE CLASS O U W frfi UPPER PICTURE-First row: F. Boasso, H. Bradley, J.

BOB GROSS The class of 1945 went through a highly successful year under the leadership of President Bob Gross. Other Freshman officers were Ed Benich, vice-presidentg Ann Bettencourt, secretaryg Yvonne Fountain, treasurerg Marian Rackley, girls athletic managerg and jim Yamauchi, boys athletic manager. Miss Cox was faculty adviser. Early in the first semester the class got off to a flying start when Treas- urer Yvonne Fountain collected contributions from the class members to purchase the class banner. Freshmen colors, selected by the class, are Navy Blue and Gold. Bubbling over with spirit, the Freshmen supported noon dances, candy and hot dog sales, and all athletic events-as participants as well as rooters. Many Freshmen took part in the activities of the school clubs and organi- zations. With the coming of the second semester the Scholarship Society received a liberal sprinkling of first year members. The Freshman class came to the high school with a reputation for co- operation. They end their first year with a record of accomplishment. If their activities this year may be taken to indicate whatis to be expected in the future, the class of '45 will be one of the most progressive classes the school has produced.

LORENE WILLIAMSON if ,f,. in VALEDICTORIAN Highest ranking student and valedic- torian of the graduating class this year was Lorene Williamson, who was born in Wat- sonville and attended Watsonville schools all her life. Reconstruction After the War will be the subject of the valedictory. Activities in which this year's ranking student has taken part during her high school career include the following: Scholarship Society, Commercial Club, Spanish Club, Girls Athletic Association, Merit Board, Dance Committee, Junior Red Cross, and the Rainbow Girls. W California is the university of the rank- ing student's choice. She expects to follow a business career.

Through his efforts the Senior Picnic, despite difficulties, was held at the St, Francis School. The Seniors' vote of thanks goes to Mr. Rowland. As junior class adviser, Mrs. Bate worked with Mr. Row- land and the Senior class to put over this year's Prom. This year's Juniors-and next year,s Seniors-are conscious of the effort their counselor has expended for them, and they are deeply grateful for it. Miss Benham, Sophomore class adviser, had more than her share of work to do this year. In addition to keeping the Sopho- more class activities running along smoothly, she took charge of the high school war stamp and bond sales. Sophomores were happy to have Miss Benham as class counselor. That Miss Cox, Freshman counselor, has turned out an eager and alive class is indicated by the way in which the Fresh- men have joined clubs, helped put over rallies, and cooperated with school traditions. Under the supervision of Miss Cox, the class has grown in spirit and ability. MISS LOX MISS BENHAM MRS.

At the beginning of the second semester, when the Freshmen became eligible for membership, they numbered over sixty. At the Santa Cruz football game, the bookies sold candy and soda-pop, and their profit of S135 broke all records for these sales. In the first semester, a group of Scholarship members visited Stanford, where they got the inside view of university life. Ten students and the two faculty advisers, Miss Tipton and Miss Mont- gomery, made the trip to the annual convention of the CSF which was held this year in Redwood City on April 2 S. First semester officers were Dorothy Dyche, president, Phyllis Flodberg, vice-president, Beverley Hull, secretary, and Hubert Hudson, treasurer. Second semester officers were Mahlon Marshall, president, Velma Fountain, vice-president, Betty Skillicorn, secretary, and Al Bode, treasurer. 50 BOOKIES Start top loft: Scholarship puts ovcr a candy sal nelli-get together R . c.

Under the leadership of Nancy Day, pres- ident, this club enjoyed a most successful year. Other officers were Ann Jensen, vice-president, Gloria Leland, secretaryg and Bill Gosline, treasurer. As was the case last year, the Latin Club raised funds for club activities by selling hot dogs. The club also supported as a group the ever popular Fashion Show, which raised funds for the student body to buy defense bonds. Mr. Bertagnolli, faculty adviser, gave the club valuable counsel. COMMERCIAL CLUB Membership in the Commercial Club is open to all Junior and Senior girls who are training for secretarial work. This club was founded with the purpose of advancing the members' interest in learning to become better secretaries. During the second semester, a radio program was broadcast over radio station KI-IUB. Among the social activities enjoyed by the members were picnics, parties, and an annual banquet. The club's exceedingly successful year may be accredited mainly to the leadership of Presi- dent Ruth Helen Angel and Mrs. Bate, faculty adviser. Front row: Il. Novak, T. Shigemoto, N. Marinovich, E.

BIOLOGY CLUB Created to foster a greater interest in science, the Biology Club was one of the many new clubs started this year. Under the guidance of Mr. Maitoza, faculty adviser, the club enjoyed a successful first year. Officers of the club during the first semes- ter were Jim Parker, president, Sets Hisatomi, vice - president, Carolyn Tugel, secretary- treasurer, and Fred Benich, sergeant-at-arms. Officers for the second semester were Bob Lynn, president, Carolee Rodgers, vice-presi- dent, Gertrude Pereira, secretary-treasurer, and Richard Goodale, sergeant-at-arms. . Benich, S. Hisatomi, F.

This activity of the club, dancing, is held on Mondays and Thursdays in the apparatus room of the gym, where everything from the majes- tic waltz to the latest jitter-bug creations are practiced. Miss Culbertson instructs the members, and much of the club's success may be traced to her untiring effort. a 'Sadler' H aw MR. MAITOZA, Adviser , JIM PARKER, President MISS CULBERTSON if' nip N..

TRAFFIC BOARD Under the leadership of Chairman Vera Mae Dodge, a successful campaign to make students traffic-conscious was carried out this year. Few students could be found wandering in the halls without blue slips, since hall monitors were especially alert. Traffic Board membership consists of two representatives from each class, the chairman of the board, and Mr. Rowland, who acts as faculty adviser. Students charged with violating any one of the self-imposed traffic rules are brought be- fore the board for trial. Punishment is meted out in the form of demerits. ART CLUB Although the art club has completed but one year of activities, it has risen to a place of lead- ership among school organizations. Strictly an honor group, members must maintain records in the nineties. Also eligible for membership are former art students who had high records when taking art. Advisers for this group are the art teachers, Mrs. Worthington and Miss King. President Jean Schofield presided over the meetings, and Gus Nakagawa acted as secretary-treasurer. Several sketching trips were taken this year, the students being accompanied by their advis- ers. One of the club's projects was the painting of a mural for the cafeteria walls. First row: A.

RED CROSS As from its beginning here, the Red Cross Council headed and directed the important part that our high school plays in student welfare. Though the students as a whole compose the Junior Red Cross, it is the duty of the Council to make the effort of the students effective. Typical of the work done by the Council was that of providing comfort kits for the soldiers. Students of the school made them, but the Junior Red Cross Council organized the student work and took charge of the completed kits. Tom Skillicorn, president, attended the Nor- thern California convention at Sacramento. Other oflicers were Fred Gibbs, vice-president, and Nancy Day, secretary. Miss Staud was fac- I-II-Y Due to the efforts of James Gentry, president, the Hi- Y had one of its most successful years. Other club officers were Lawrence Jacobson, vice-president, and Jim Enemark, secretary. Hi- Y cagers took first place in the City League basketball competition and Went on to take the Northern California YMCA champi- onship. In the game with North Oakland the local boys had their closest contest, winning by a lone point. Social meetings of the club were frequent, its members joining in promoting good fellow- ship.

Responding to the most important challenge since its establishment, the Wfatsonville chapter of the Future Farmers of America took a renewed interest in the task of learning how hest to pro- vide both the civilians and the armed forces of the nation with vital food supplies necessary for the war effort. The largest group project undertaken was the planting of three acres of Victory Gardens on lots throughout the city. Produce from this source was to go into the regular market, and funds raised in this fashion were to go into the student body treasury. Individual aggie projects were carried on throughout a year which was also alive with social activities. President of the Future Farmers this year was Clarence Phillips. Other officers were John Peder- sen, vice-president, Frank Fujita, secretaryg Pat Hayes, athletic manager, and Bernard Mooney, treasurer. Faculty leaders of this alert group are Martini T.

Indicating originality, the committee planned and put over a Big Game rally on the Athletic field, wher l f ' e tie aculty men matched their brawn ' l wit 1 that of the students in a hilarious football game while a gay rooting section of faculty members cheered them on. Following the Big Gamei' rally, a dance was held at the Veterans hall. Community Sings were put on during the basketball season, with the entire student body join- ing in. Musical entertainment was often 'd l provi ec at rally assemblies. A mock Bob Hope show gave the student body one of the biggest laughs of the year. Cancelatio baseball season autom t' ll a ica y eliminated a number of game rallies but assembl' b ' ' n of the regularly scheduled CCAL , ies ringing out the hid- den talents of numerous students and others report- ing on the high school's participation in the civilian defense effort were held. Much credit for the commi activities goes to Miss Tamisiea fac l d ' ttee's many successful , u ty a viser, who worked with the group. Her untiring efforts pro- duced exceptional results. Heading the committee this year was June Crowley, vice-president of the student body, who appointed ch ' ' airmen to work with her on each rally. url Top I4-ll: Gil Mello .xml Art li.lIlklY irtgnle .ui .ipprerintive .llllliCllCC of student admirers.

DANCE COMMITTEE First semester student dances were well on the way toward a successful affairs when all unnecessary night activities for schools were halted. Stu- dents were glad to cooperate in what they knew was 21 war measure. Previous to the outbreak of war, a highly successful I-lallowe'en dance, presided over by Football Queen Norma Jean Dye, was held at the Veterans hall. Witli the help of Mrs. Worthington and Miss King, the decorations committee transformed the hall for the occasion. Although the night dances were discontinued, the noon dances con- tinued with added vigor. Marjorie Lepper, working with Art Gandy and Stan McGregor, succeeded in booming attendance through publicity SLUHLS. Capable, and enthusiastic, Mrs. Bate and Miss King served as advisers to the unusually large group. -A QW' x.

BLACK AND GOLD The Black and Gold, weekly publication of Watsonville joint Union High School, acts as the eyes, ears, and the tongue of the high school students. Its reporters record the nu- merous activities which take place on the cam- pus and in the class rooms during the week and present them to the public in written form in Saturday's Register-Pajaroniann and in Sun- day's Morning Sun. Responsible for the publication of the Black and Gold' is the newswriting class, which keeps the public informed regarding school life. Editor for the first semester this year was Floyd Rodrigues. In charge of the personals was Fred LaTurner. Paul Kiyotoki handled the stories from the shop classes, and Kiyo Sugi- moto conducted a science column and wrote up girls sports. During the second semester Dan Denny filled the editor's chair. Others who did special work were Martha Jean Brandon, in charge of the personals, Devonne Hall, who handled girls sports, Pete Leonardich and Pat Hayes, who wrote up the shop stories, and Gertrude Pereira, who had a science column. Because of their conscientious efforts, Black and Gold reporters this year produced one of the most readable high school sections in recent years.

DRAMATICS The first dramatic effort of Miss Lord's fall class was Lady Alone, given as a radio play with Pat Emmett, Ruth Schalow, and Eleanor Megin- ness taking the leading parts. At the Aromas Ham Dinner, a number of skits were presented in pantomime, in which principal parts were taken by Katherine Marulieh, Eleanor Meginness, Ruth Brodin, Doris Hazelbaker, Ruth Helen Angel, Wai'ren Carpenter, and Ida Mae Rohrbacker. Portray- ing the trials of a newspaper editor, a short play was presented by Tom Hansen, Wfarren Carpenter, Ruth Schalow, and George Van Sickle. Sey- eral pantomimes and skits were presented before a meeting of the Sorop- timists club. All the beauty of the Christmas story was portrayed by Tom Hansen and Pat limmett, who took the parts of Mary and .loseph in the Nativity scene. Outstanding in her portrayal ofa bereaved mother was Doris Hazel- baker in the play A King Shall Reignf' Cther leading characters were sympatlietieally depicted by Ida Mae Rohrbacker and Barbara XVall. On .lanuary 21 a final set ol' plays, Schoolin' and Don't lfeed the Animals, was presented in the assembly hall. Because of war conditions, the plays were enacted in the afternoon.

MERT CARLYON Music Head The first thing on the program for the band, after it settled up with the rookies, was to play at the dedication of the new Santa Cruz-Watsonville highway. Next the band appeared at the opening of the County Fair at its new Hecker Pass site, and then marched in both the Kiddies' Parade and the Armistice Day Parade. When Santa Claus came to town for Christmas, the band greeted him with a musical program in the plaza. Many football and basketball games and rallies were enlivened by che band's music. In the spring semester, the band marched in parades during the fire chiefs' convention and Boys and Girls Week. On May 17 the music groups held a War Stamp Festival Concert to promote the sale of war stamps. The Memorial Day program, the band picnic, and commencement ended the work for the semester. A small band, organized and directed by Art Gandy, deserves special mention for its many appearances. Bonnie Moseman, Grace Traulsen, and Virginia Kniflin worked up a flute, clarinet, and bassoon trio that also merits attention. Though all out of town concerts and contests were cancelled, the band was kept busy at home playing for many patriotic programs. Front row: J. Ford, N. Waltrip, D. Lambert, B. Barr, H. Dodge, J.

ORCHESTRA Although the orchestra was smaller in membership than in former years, it remained one of the school's leading groups. Activities were many and varied this year despite the fact that the war declaration, with the subsequent curtailment of the use of buses for any- thing except the transportation of students, prevented the orchestra from taking part in musical activities away from home. One of the most impres- sive performances of the orchestra took place at the Christmas Pageant. On May 17 the orchestra participated in a Spring Music Festival which was in- tended to boost the sale of war savings stamps. Late in May the orchestra members joined with the band to take part in the annual picnic. Transportation was by private automobile or by bi- cycle. Both Mr. Carlyon, head of the music department, and Mr. Lima, for- merly with the San Francisco Symphony Qrchestra, worked with the group, Mr. Lima, whose work was done mainly with the stringed instru- ments, conducted the orchestra in the absence of Mr. Carlyon. f'-f f.-' Q Nl MR.

This year the chorus organized itself into a club, electing Harry Ciurnee as president. Tommy Thompson was elected vice-president. Social affairs included a dinner at Miss Breen's home and a very success- ful l1OtH1lLll1CllC0l1. The chorus made its first appearance at the high school Christmas Pageant. It also appeared at numerous town performances and tools a leading part in the Music Festival on May 17, and in the Memorial Day program. The group helped to build up school spirit by leading in community singing at assemblies. TREBLE CLEF Composed of outstanding girls in the choral music department, the Treble Clef club eo- operated again with various civic and school groups in furnishing musical programs during the year. As in the past, the Treble Clef this year furnished musical background for the Christ- mas Pageant. The girls also held their annual Spring tea for parents. Officers of the club this year were Dorothy Dye and Tralee Harris, co-presidentsg Betty I,ee Perkins and Mary .lean Galpin, secretaries, Shirley Christensen, vice-president, Helen Bradley, treasurerg and Barbara llushbeelt, reporter. r . ,M ,Q YQ W 3 Q Q Q, .. iV fTI'5 .fQjf'ff9 AvmhA ggi ' ,A K uk. s Q W 1 K if .NX.

Though football season followed the planned pattern, the declaration of war in December brought about great changes. Immediately following December 8 the basketball games, normally held at night, were shifted to the afternoon. Other interschool sports were cut to a minimum when it became apparent that the rubber shortage would keep the schools from furnishing buses for transportation. With this prospect in sight, emphasis was shifted as far as possible from interschool to interperiod and interclass competition. A Win-O-Meter introduced by Coach Geiser kept the physical education classes at a high pitch, and an interclass track meet was held. VIRGINIA KNIFFIN WAYNE HARRIS RENIE LOU UNDERWOOD 5 . . 53.5 BLOCK W As has been true in the past, the Block XV , consisting of boys who have won their letters in one or more of the many interschool sports, was one of the most active organizations of the high school. Officers of the club for the first semester were George Schaudra, presi- dent, Stan McGregor, vice-president, Jimmy Chinn, secretary-treasurer, and Bill Spangler, sergeant-at-arms. During the second semester officers were Jimmy Chinn, president, Bill Spangler, vice-president, Al Hull, secretary-treasurer, and Anthony Radovich, sergeant-at-arms. Faculty adviser was Mr. Ed Jorgensen, who led the group in its many school activities. Top Left: F. Machado, D. McMasters, G. Schaudra, K. Peterson, L. Watkins, B. McGowan, E. Wong, J. Cathey, C.

Inexperience contributed to a spotty season and accounted in a large part for four defeats. As the season progressed, the squad became better, winning its last two games, from Salinas and Santa Cruz, to add to a 42-6 spanking administered to San jose early in the season. Regulars who will be back in action next year are Hubert jackson, hero of the Santa Cruz classic, Bill Spangler, and Harold Wayland. Up from the reserves to fill che gaps caused by graduation will come Dale Gill, Phil Babcock, Harold Jensen, Joe Tapiz, and Jim Mehl. Most sorely missed of the seniors will be Captain George Schaudra. Others lost this year are jack Cathey, Ed Moore, jim Enemark, Dave Ene- mark, Earl Lemon, Stan McGregor, Jim Cunningham, and Emmett Gfroerer.

I-IEAVYWEIGI-IT BASKETBALL Basketball, the first sport affected by the war, had most of its inter- school competition in the afternoons this year, a fact that accounted for slightly smaller crowds than has been the case in the past. In the first part of the season the Wildcats put a flashy and winning combination on the court, but the loss of George Schaudra and an inability to hit the basket kept the team from continuing in the second semester the work it had started at Christmas time. Boys who played well and often for Watsonville were Captain Tom Hashimoto and Ralph Clay, forwards, George Schaudra, John Du jmovich, and Ken Peterson, guards, and Lee Roy Watkins, 'Cat center and one of the outstanding players in the CCAL. Reserves from the 1942 team which will be welcomed back again by Coach Geiser include Jim Mehl, Hubert Jackson, Art Martinez, and Monte Lewis. Seniors were John Dujmovich, Tom Hashimoto, Lee Roy Watkins, Ralph Clay, George Schaudra, Ken Peterson, and Lee Wall.

LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL One of the best lightweight teams to represent Watsonville in years lost a heartbreaker to Salinas in the last few seconds of the game and missed a chance for the CCAL title by the proverbial hair's breadth. The Hrst indi- cation that Watsonville had something besides spirit came when the 'Kittens defeated a highly favored Santa Cruz team. This year's first team lineup consisted of Ernie Wong at centerg LeRoy Howes at one guard position, with Clarence Twitchell and Manuel Orozco dividing the work of the other guard post between them, and Fred Gibbs and Captain Clair Watkins at the forward positions. So good were the re- serves that the regulars had to battle every minute of the time to keep their first-string jobs. With no seniors on the team, the prospects for next year are very bright. Few are expected to be lost to the heavyweights. Reserve players who did good work this year and will be fighting for first-string positions next year include Bill Bachan and Hubert Hudson.

Nf'l'J?' .aria TRACK A combination of few veterans and a small turnout, along with the changes the war brought about, kept the 'Cats from showing to advantage in track this year. In two three-way meets with Santa Cruz and Hollister, Watsonville did not score well. Against Salinas in a dual meet Watsonville lost another. In the CCAL meet Watsonville failed to place. Prospects for the 1943 team look much brighter, with Coach Burdick expecting to field a team liberally supplied with vet- erans. Manuel Orozco gets ready to put the shot.

TENNIS Poor Weather hampered the tennis team this year, breaking in on the regularly scheduled practices and cutting down on the efficiency of the team. Practice pe- riods, under the watchful eye of Coach Jorgenson, were held on Mondays, Tues- days, and Thursdays. Interschool competition resulted in a victory for the Wildcats over Pacific Grove and losses to the more experienced Santa Cruz and Monterey teams. Representing Watsonville this year were Bob Lynn, Robert Chinn, Clyde Herr, Bill Gosline, and Ed McGowan. Kaine Shew, veteran of two years, withdraw from school.

BASEBALL What was the greenest team in point of experience to represent Watsonville in many years-a squad composed mainly of sophomores and having only two Fresh- men, one Junior, and one Senior-showed up well in competition and will be a sea- soned aggregation when they start work- ing out next year. Watsonville's infield, according to Coach Rowland, was one of the best he has seen in the CCAL. In the league competition the 'Cats de- feated Santa Cruz twice and were held to a tie once. In the CCAL tournament, the Wildcats lost to Salinas. Boys who opened most of the games in- cluded Ed Hall and Emmet Gfroerer, catchersg Art Martinez, first baseg joe Tapiz, second baseg Hubert jackson, third baseg Ray Fierro, short stopg Glenn Hardy, left fieldg Ray Onesti, center fieldg and Vernon Trevethan, who acted as relief pitcher. GOLF AND ARCI-IERY In match play this year the 'Cat golf team was outstanding. Victories were scored over Monterey, Pacihc Grove, and Santa Cruz. In a second match with Santa Cruz, the Watsonville boys suffered their lone defeat. In a four-way meet, the squad placed third, and in a three-Way meet the 'Cats took a second place. On the team were Captain Ken Peter- son, Clair Watkins, Clarence Twitchell, Lloyd Smith, Hubert Hudson, and Bob Reiger. Only one senior, Ken Peterson, will be lost to the '43 team. In archery Eugene Frazier, Eugene Cox, Albert Canepa, and jack Bryant were frustrated as far as interschool competi- tion was concerned when the annual CCAL minor sports day was cancelled be- cause of the war. Coach Geiser headed both the golf and archery teams. Top left: Eugene Cox, one of the school's staunchest Robin Hoods, draws a good longbow. Hubert Hudson addresses the ball.

The fun derived from the various interclass competitions which start with hockey in September and do not end until summer vacation arrives is unlimited. Interclass competition is especially keen between the Juniors and Seniors, whose games always attract a large number of spectators. Besides the enjoyment both competitors and spectators get from the games, the girls are given an opportunity to win awards. Three hundred GAA points-points are awarded in numerous ways-gives a girl a numeral. Other awards which may be earned are the block W, stars, a gold pin, and a pearl to set in the pin. The Girls Block W Society is composed of those girls who have won blocks. There are not usually many members in this club, but this year there were quite a few. Each year the girls go on a week-end trip to Yosemite, which is one of the highlights of the year. W- Q1 'er-Zlkg, lv.. 'IL Top Left M Wing, R. I.. Underwood, D. Dye, Miss Blanchard, W. I-Iance, I..

In ad- dition to the part taken in sports activities, the girls enjoy parties, picnics, play days, and numerous other forms of entertainment. Business meetings are held during advisory periods or at noon. Oiiicers for this year were Evelyn Clough, president, Barbara Wall, vice- presidentg and Irene Pini, secretary. Miss Blan- chard is adviser for the group. To become a member of the GAA, a girl must earn 125 GAA points. For each team she wins a place on, she receives 25 points.

ALL-STAR HOCKEY Hockey, the first girls' interclass sport of the school year, enjoyed an overflow turnout. All classes were well represented in the tryouts. Because it is closer to the gym, the interclass hockey games were played on the girls' baseball field. Especially keen was the competition between the Juniors and Seniors. Twice the teams battled to ties, and in the third game the Seniors won the game and the championship. Captains were Shioru Yasamoto, Seniorsg Kiyo Sugimoto, juniorsg Aileen Gita, Sophomoresg and Charlotte Tsuchiyama, Freshmen. SPEEDBALL Speedball started with plenty of action this year when a large group of girls turned out for the tryouts. An exciting game was played when the Freshmen clashed with the Sophomores, but even more exciting was the Sophomore-Junior game, when the Juniors overcame a Sophomore lead to smash through to victory and the interclass championship. Mary Tada scored the winning goals. Team captains were Mabel Lew, Seniors, Suyeko Etow, juniorsg Ann Vukasovich, Sophomoresg and Frances Kostaras, Freshmen. sl. as lar uv' ,w pg.. y . .

The junior girls swept through their schedule of games without a loss, though they nearly lost the tussle with the Seniors. At the end of the first half the Senior girls were ahead, but with the start of the second half the Juniors crept up on their rivals and edged them out toward the end of the game. The juniors were champions for the second successive year. Captains were Dorthy Dye, Seniors, Mary Elizabeth Wing, Juniors, Joan Solari, Sophomoresg and Patsy O'Brien, Freshmen. TUMBLING This year's tumbling team turnout was the best in several semesters, and sore muscles were numerous when the noon workouts began immediately following summer vacation. Individual and group stunts were popular. Though the girls did not have many opportunities to put their act on exhibition, they did furnish part of the entertainment for the Santa Cruz- Watsonville football rally. Miss Blanchard instructed the group. 94 VCLLEYBALL Volleyball season closed this year with the Juniors established as champions in the interclass competition. The championship was decided only after the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores played off a three-way tie. In the crucial game between the Seniors and the Juniors, the juniors scored a 28-20 victory and won the championship. Captains of the interclass teams were Irene Pini, Seniors, Anna Ruth Evans, juniors, Doris Wing, Sophomores, and Eileen Bothwell, Freshmen. BASEBALL Although fewer girls went out for baseball than any other sport this year, the games were among the most exciting played in interclass competi- tion. First of a series of upsets, the Frosh walloped the astonished Seniors 7-3. Thirsting for revenge, the Seniors took it out on the Sophomores by an 18- 6 count, getting a chance to play off a tie for the championship with the Juniors. In the final game of the season the Juniors Whipped their Senior rivals and took the class honors for the year. UPPER PICTURE-Front row: V. Kniffin, D. Ivey, P. Hackbarth, M. Lew, C. Tsuchiyama.

VVATSGNVILLE PRESS GEORGE A. SMITH inee the time less than a Century ago, when the first Americans rode through what is now Watsonville o then a never-ending field of mustard Weeds o our country has been through several wars and cycles of economic ups and downs. Over the span, Watsonville o characteristic, we think, of American community life at its best o has not only come through, but has moved steadily ahead. Much of its development has been due to the young men and women who have graduated from Watsonville High School over the years, and taken their places in the community's business and cultural life. Watsonville is today populous, rich in resources and enterprises o and holds still greater promise for free men and Women tomorrow. The banks of Watsonville welcome another graduating class. WATSONVILLE CLEARING HOUSE PAJARO VALLEY NATIONAL BANK BANK OF AMERICA, N. T. 85 S. A. QQ! TLHIIE EDUWG-3DU,l. STTQUUDUQ is happy to have played a parl: in the building of the l942 Manzanita. 7fze vuwuz sruvfo, wc-Wwe, eww LG SENIOR RECORDS , EDITOR'S NOTE As you turn the pages of this 1942 Manzanita, may you be turning also the pages of memory- memories of the social, organizational, and curricular life in which you took part at the Watsonville high school'. It is the hope of the staff that this year's annual will serve to bring back to you, the reader, many a pleasant thought connected with your high school days. If the book accomplishes this, then our work will not be in vain. Since this book deals with students on an American campus-students who are interested in the changing world, who are not blind to what is happening today, and who are concerned with further- ing and preserving those things which are good and right-we present the Manzanita as a picture of American youth taking part in American activities within halls of learning which are distinctly American. I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to those who have always been so willing to help-to jack Hamilton, our staff adviser, whose encouragement and advice have been invaluable, to the members of the staff, whose enthusiasm and cooperation have been given so wholeheartedly, to the Duvall Studio, whose services were contributed so fully, to Marvin T. Bonds, the engraveris repre- sentative, whose suggestions were gratefully accepted, to George Smith, printer, and his indefatigable workers, Bill Dickey, joe Drummond, Mac McCreadie and Don Nohrden, whose work was done so cheerfully, and to the sponsors of our book, who made it financially possible. -VIRGINIA Rusito, '42 Editor.
