Foreword T-IE STAFF of this year's Manzanita was confronted with many difficulties unknown in previous years. Shortages of film, paper, and finance were among our chief worries. Despite these and other troubles, the work of preparing a yearbook forged steadily ahead. We feel, now that the work is done, a sense of pride in having been able to continue a school tradition during a year of historic national crisis and achievement. We were not alone in our difficul- ties. War brought to the community an acute manpower shortage. High school students were asked to help harvest the crops, and they did. Almost every student found his way into some sort of essential employment. When the crops were harvested they went back to school. The good work did not end there. The fourth war loan was inaugurated, and the high school met its guota. Now that the end of the school year has come, we can look back and say that we have helped shorten the dis- tance to victory. -Contents- Administration Classes Activities Sports Features X' 5 .,i Dedication AR DFFERENT from the past three years was this year of battle and of triumph, a year in which the forces of righteousness rallied to win back yet again what had been lost to the enemy through treachery and unprepared- ness. We are prouder than we could ever say of the part in this great struggle which is being played on the far-flung battlefronts of the world by students and teachers once associated with our school. To them we dedi- cate this book. May God send them safely back to us again. A higher, nobler task has taken them from school and home. Cn the field of battle they are closing with our foep and though we watched them leave with sorrow their gallantry and their success has made us glad. And they are not forgotten. ln this year we, too, who have re- mained at home, have experienced , much change in our own lives. But g 4 . A .iiii what we have done and what we will o .

May those who have gone from our school to the battle fronts of the earth and all those Who strive beside them be inspired by purposes which are Thy purposes and may they receive strength from Thy store of infinite strength. Even as Thou didst lead the fathers of our nation to free us from tyranny and to create a state Wherein each man and his fellow man might grow to fullest stature of character and righteous achievement, grant now that our soldiers be Thy soldiers and achieve in Thy name the privilege for all men to live and serve in Christian dignity, that greatest virtue of our treas- ured citizenship. And, Father in Heaven, may We in our school and those in all our nation's schools accept as a sacred trust the preservation and ad- vancement of the institutions and values which our former school mates are offering their lives to save. And, merciful God, grant that the souls of those who fall find peace and service with Thee and that those who return be held in respect and honor, and with the returned ones may We ever strive that Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. ln the name of Him who guided the founders of our nation-Amen. The School's Again this year the High School Board of Trustees rendered dis- tinguished service in the handling of the many school affairs.

Sophomores. lnto the background during this War year went all class rivalries, and in their place was apparent a feeling of mutual friendliness and a deters , mination to work together toward a common goal, victory. . As the months slipped by, and as calls for student cooperation in school and community were made, the students responded not as individual classes, and not as individual groups, but in a body. Thus it was that dur- ing the Fourth and Fifth War Loan drives students of all classes joined to help the community reach its goal. And so it was in all affairs concern- ing the students. The good of individual groups was subordinated for the , good of all. I Willingness of the class officers to Work together and the respect the students showed for their leaders were something which Won the admira- tion of all those in a position to observe it. l 1 n,'tM.t.af....s:sfs.ss5Pf4iau,f.i, '-. ,tus W-.aft-fs.,.-1 . 42: ...sn i..s..r,.r .iAA:r25m 1 - I ,JI 1 ,, 52.3 'z..1 1. .Z-.im A u3:f.Imi??:.f An. i erm- amnsigt L 3 Pi iii Q ii ,fl J C' R fi' 'Yi s. 5. , P, si if 2? Seniors Four years ago the class of '44 came to the high school filled with ambition, sorne- thing which haq Q-maimed characteristic oi the group thzr ': UL thc years which followed. Though the various activities ot high school have been ctffifiled greatly since the War broke out, The spirit of cooper- ation and the rnoraie of the class is un- changed. Many oi the boys who entered high school tour years ago as freshmen are al- ready on the field of battle. Because of this, the number of seniors in the high school was sharply reduced. Despite unusual difficulties, leadership in the class continued to be excellent. Bay Sahlberg held the ctiice oi class president until he was called into the Navy air corps. Vice-President Eugene Iensen then took oiiice and Ernie Elliott was elected to the vice-president's berth. Secretary of the class was Carolyn Tugel. Bob Peterson proved Limselt a capable treasurer, Virginia Paymond Carson was class yell leader, and Gerry Friend be- came class representative to the Student Board when Bob Marsh joined the Navy air corps. Mr. A. T, Bowlan-1.1, class adviser, helped the class over irmagzj rough spots.

Forty-lTivers have been leaders in scholarship, sports, and in spirit. Six luniors were in the school's most exclusive organization, Scholarship. lunior boys swept through the foot- ball interclass schedule to triumph un- defeated. lunior girls Won top honors in volleyball and basketball. Through- out the year lunior spirit was high, and the class put on a hilarious rally preceding one of the best dances of the year. luniors, joining with the Seniors, put over a magazine drive in five days which netted the classes 3472.47 for the lunior-Senior Prom and put the Prom on a firm financial basis. Class officers during this year of ac- complishment Were Ronnie Marring- ton, president, Adrienne Hall, vice- president, Bill Blaisdell, treasurer: and Monte Lewis and Bill Sambrailo, cheer leaders. These officers, by their ex- ample, Were an inspiration to the class. First Row: Ford. Fountain. Harmer. Howes. Huntington, Bellinghausen, Boscovich. Borcovich. Bailey. Carlson.

Athletic events and social affairs all had a full complement of Freshmen. Freshmen played a strong and important part in the lust for Fun extravanganza put on to raise funds for student body pur- chases of War bonds. Already the Freshmen have laid plans for an active Sophomore year. Under the guidance of their class adviser, Miss Bliz- zard, they expect to leave an impression upon school affairs. Especially fortunate this year was the class in its choice of officers. Norman Lien, by his enthusiasm and his ability, was a capable and inspiring president.

Our Governing Boards Class presidents, class representatives, a faculty adviser, and the faculty auditor form the Student Board, whose duties consist mainly of supervising the activities of student body organizations and committees. Meetings are held once a month. Chairman this year Was Mary Elizabeth Wilson, president of the student body. lmportant to the smooth efficiency of the school is the Traffic Board, headed this year by Bill Bachan. This board is concerned with keep- ing 'em moving, which it did. Student infractions are judged by the Merit Board, before which many an embarrassed student appeared this year. Mary Elizabeth Wilson, student body president, was chairman of this body. Dance Committee Showing tireless enthusiasm in their work, members of the dance committee produced this year many memo- rable dances. lngenius were the themes with which committee members added pep and color to the dances. A circus theme won much favorable comment at one dance, as did the use of senior class banners at another. Illustra- tions of popular dance tunes, too, captured the fancy of many. Many were the major problems and minor details which took the attention of dance committee workers. Decorations, made often with the cooperation of the art classes and always under the supervision of Gladys Bontadelli, were well planned. Vital to the success of each dance was the procuring of music-the committee was always successful. Though fewer in number than in previous years, the dances were well attended. The virtual elimination of senior boys from school, most of whom entered the armed services long before graduation, produced a social manpower shortage that was not easily over- come. The lO:l5 curfew made it necessary to end dances this year at ten o'cloclc. LORRAINE MOSSBARGER LOUISE WORTHINGTON CAROLEE RODGERS Scholarship Society Membership requirements which were far more dif- ficult than those of other years cut down the member- ship of the Scholarship Society this year but made membership, nevertheless, far more meaningful. Transportation problems led to the cancellation of the annual visit to a university campus and also led to the abandonment of the Scholarship picnic. ln place of a picnic the club enjoyed a dinner and show in town. Money raising activities were also engaged in. First semester officers were Bill Blaisdell, president: Lorene Dong, vice-presidentg Dorothy lue, secretary 5 and Nick Drobac, treasurer. Second semester officers were Elma McElroy, pres- identg Lou Ford, vice-presidentg Dorothy lue, secretaryp and Grace Traulsen, treasurer. At the end of the first semester there were only two Seal Bearers, Mary Elizabeth Wilson and Gerry Friend.

Many a student is un- iniured today because of the Work of these boys. Peter Marinovich Was his brother's assistant. Stamp Chairman When a regular series of W'ar Stamp and Bond sales was determined up- on as a part of the school program to support the War effort, machinery to make the sales effective was worked out. High in importance in this plan are the stamp chairmen. Representing their re- spective advisories, the chairmen take charge of all business connected with the sales each Tues- day. Miss Benham and Miss Graeber were faculty ad- visers. Spanish Long one of the most popu- lar groups in the school has been the A Lo Alto despite the scholarship requirements for membership. Officers for the first semes- ter were Bill Blaisdell, presi- dent, Tom Rosewall, vice-pres- ident, Monte Lewis, secretary, Martin Lettunich, treasurer. Second semester officers were Yvonne Fountain, president, leanette Peterson, vice-presi- dentf Helen Rodriguez, secre- tary, and Steve Pista, treas- urer. Faculty adviser is Miss Dickson. F. F.A. Again this year Aggie boys stepped into the places of those called to the front to help their country through a critical period of threatened food shortages. Mr. M. T. Thor- stenson and Mr. O. S.

Under the leadership of Miss Liles, the girls of this organization again rendered cheerful and efficient service throughout the year. President of the club this year was Wilma Angel. Social activities, due to War necessity, were curtailed. ALICE LILES ELEANOR BUCHTER Janitors lndispensible to the smooth opera- tion of the school is the janitor force, headed by Mr. Lasserot, who is in charge of this work in all the schools. At the high school the janitor Work is done largely by student employees, and is under the direction of lohn Bo- beda and his assistants, Mr. Iverson and Mr. Carothers. Ungloriiied and largely unappreci- ated, the janitor force does its job capably and efficiently. Red Cross Starting the year right, the Red Cross Council enlisted the entire stu- dent body in its membership. This was the second consecutive year this hap- pened. President ot the group was Lorene Dong, who put in much conscientious Work and helped to establish for the group an enviable record. Projects were mainly those connected with men in the service and with veterans.

Among the club activities was a pageant performed en- tirely in the Latin language. Miss Montgomery, faculty ad- viser, gave the club members much valuable counsel. Black and Gold With the intention of providing the community with an insight into high school life, members of the newswriting classes again this year provided the copy for the Black and Gold printed in the Register-Pajaronian on Thursday of each school week. Necessary curtailment of space, brought on by both the acute short- age of newsprint and a real prob- lem of operating with fewer men in the newspaper's shop, cut into the column inches given to the high school feature in the past. Along with countless other fea- tures and services limited by the stern hand of war-time expedi- ence, the Black and Gold sub- mitted to this curtailment philo- sophically if not cheerfully. Despite its reduced size, the high school weekly was able still to claim the distinction of enjoying one of the largest reading publics of any comparable journalistic work. ln addition to the students of the school and their parents, the high school page is read by a wide and appreciative list of Register - Pajaronian subscribers. Even from the battle fronts of the world has come word from Wat- sonville boys expressing gratifica- tion that the high school scenes familiar to them not long ago are still available through their home- town newspaper. is an exedlnt til S32-mpg . atudentsfhg, y W0 flying' l Q and wx eigh Q A Q .' closed with Mehr PHYLLIS FLODBERG IOAN SOLAR! IACK HAMILTON Manzanita Faced with the problem of printing a book without any real assurance of being able to purchase materials necessary for its production, the Manzanita staff never- theless proceeded this year upon the theory that solu- tions would be found. First among many difficulties was that of buying photographic supplies. ln this the staff was only partly successful. Printing stock, art paper for the divisions, and covers were other items upon which the staff had to accept compromises. Despite early discouragements, the work on the book proceeded, spurred by a brilliant financing campaign which sold upwards of 650 yearbooks and produced a revenue of more than 551500. Responsible for the yearbook layouts was Editor Phyllis Flodberg, whose assistant was Lois Light. Head- ing the important and successful task of producing funds for the book was loan Solari, business manager, who was assisted by Gerry Friend. Staff photographer was Manley lansen, with Pete Drobac, Lewis Lettunich, and Ray Stevens as his assistants. Contributions of film and pictures by Carolee Rodgers were also helpful. Others whose tireless energy and enthusiasm con- tributed to the success of the book were Steve Pista, who made all the drawings in the Manzanita, Carolyn Tugel, and Madlyn Iurach. Band and Orchestra Q R MANLEY IANSEN MERT CARLYON EARL During this year of war and curtailed activity, the band con- tinued to keep school spirit high by playing at assemblies, in parades, in bond shows, and in the annual Spring Concert.

When I took office in lune, IQ43, I never dreamed of troubles that were facing me in the future. I-Iaving been on the staff last year I knew some of my prob- lems, but many I was to become acquainted with in later months. Each war year the job of putting out a yearbook becomes more diffi- cult. The supplies of all the materials we have needed were cut and all our costs were increased. Many nights the midnight oil was burned while the business manager and I worried about our next move to gain supplies. One thing neither the business manager or I expected was financial difficulty. We were very much surprised when near the end of our sales campaign we found we were far short of our goal of l4OU dollars. An in- tensified campaign was staged. We was over. Although many times we were possible, miracles happen, and here This was done only with hard work Mr. I-Iamilton, our adviser, I owe the To loan Solari, who worked hard on drew many sighs of relief when that sure that to have a yearbook was im- it is - and in the black, too, we hope. and more hard work. To my staff and greatest of thanks and appreciation. the financing of the book, to Manley Iansen for his labors with the photography, to Gerry Friend, Carolyn Tugel, Lois Light, Madlyn lurach, Pete Drobac, and the rest of my staff, all of Whom contributed willingly of their time and effort in performing the innumerable tasks a yearbook requires, thank you very much. My special thanks go to Steve Pista, who did all the drawings, and Mr. McDowell, who, although he was very busy, printed our book. I have learned one thing in my work as editor of the Manzanita, and that is that in order to do anything you must have cooperation, so let us now have the cooperation of all the people of the United Nations and win this war. - PI-IYLLIS FLODBERG.
