Page T welve THE CHIPMUNK Senior Class History In the year 1917 twenty young “hopefuls” entered kindergarten. Seven of these students are still with us this year and will graduate with the class of ’30. Five of the students, Robert McKeown, Donald Miller, Jack Rookaird, Robert Gleason and Alyce Miley, have spent all their school life in Westwood, while the other two, .John Keeshan and Ruth Bush left Westwood for some of the intermediate years. The class of ’30 started its Freshman year with the largest class which had yet been in High School, the number being forty-one. But this exceedingly large class lost many of its members the next year. With an added few new members, we had thirty-three in the class. Our Junior year meant a still greater loss, the class having twenty- seven members in all. And now, when we have come to our outstand- ing and most memorable year, we find we have only twenty-two members left, most of whom originally belonged to the Freshman group of three years ago. The Senior Class of ’30 has established a great name for itself in the four years of its high school life, earning many awards and much honorable mention in all athletics and school activities. In our last three years of high school ours has been the outstand- ing class in interclass basketball. We also have come out on top, or very near the top, in baseball and track. Our last year was an outstanding one for us in scholarship, our class having won the banner for each school month and the silver scholarship cup at the end of the year. The class as a whole has accomplished much, and each individual, as he goes out upon his venture in life, hopes to accomplish many more and creditable things. Our last year here marks the third year of existance of the West- wood Junior-Senior High School and therefore we have the distinction of being the first class to complete the Senior division under the new system.

Bob Gleason and I are sitting by the fireplace, listening to the radio and not paying too much attention to what is being broadcast, but when several familiar names are mentioned we draw our chairs closer to the radio and pay strict attention to what the announcer has to say: News Item from Paris: Nina Helmich, world famed stage and screen star, was guest of honor last evening at a banquet given by American Ambassador to France, William Watson, at his magnifi- cent country home. This banquet was attended by many notables from America and Europe. Dispatch from Hongkong, China: Rear Admiral John Keeshan orders all but two cruisers to leave Hongkong as he states the recent disturbance has been quelled. Associated Press Dispatch from New Zealand: Commande’ Jack Rookaird, air explorer, has just completed a total revision of the chart of the South Polar region, which was first attempted by Com- mander Richard Byrd way back in 1929. This revised chart is a very detailed one and much time and skill have been used in making it so. New York City, N. Y.: Mr. Charles Koerner, financial Wizard, announces that the recent stock crash is only temporary and business will not be effected to any great extent. Mr. Charles Mollart and Mr. Bert Pierson, noted northern Calif- fornia lumbermen will board the Graf Zepplin II. in San Francisco, Friday, for Germany where a conference of lumbermen from all over the world will be held the latter part of next week. Miss Alyce Miley, President of the Committe for the Improve- ment of Homes for the Aged, will leave Wednesday for Detroit to study conditions of the Poor Farms in that city. Lily Baker, noted dressmaker and designer, has signed a contract with the Warner Bros. Picture Corporation to make all costumes for that corporation’s pictures in the future. Policewoman Ruth Bush reports a very slack day with only thirty arrests. Misses Dora Morey and Alice Rosecrans, leaders in the drive for Community Chest fund, state that this year’s fund will surpass all prev- ious ones. In the world of sports we have the Pennsadelphia Phillaletics playing the Chicago White Cubs in the deciding game of the World Series. Both teams are evenly matched and if firstbaseman Don Miller of the Phillaletics and left fielder Ray Sundquist of the White Cubs con- tinue their marvelous slugging of the past six games anything may be expected as the outcome.’ THE CHIPMUNK Page Nineteen At the conclusion of the sports news I reminded Bob that every one mentioned was in our old class of ’30, W. H. S. He said, “Yes, and do you know that the ones he did not mention tonight are equally as fam- ous as those he did? For instance, there is Faith Brown. You know she became manager of the Emporium right here in San Francisco about four years ago and from all indications she has made a wonderful success of it. Then there is Fay Hoyt. She’s practicing law in Indiana. Strangely enough Ruth Kinser and Faith Mullen persued the same art. I do not have to mention what they are doing, as their books are so widely read and popular that every one knows of them. Marjorie Woolman, after graduating from U. C., went to Europe to study music and up to the present has composed many widely accepted musical compositions. And last but not least Bob McKeown is now a professor of mathe- matics at the University of California.” “Well, Bob, the class of ’30 is certainly world famous and I’m proud to have been one of them. Just think you and I might have been famous too if we hadn’t spent all our life trying to store a charge in that Leyden Jar we made at school.” Allen O’Connor ’30 Looking Ahead and Looking Back It must be rather uplifting To say, “I’m twenty-one” To have reached the age of a voter And know you can do as you please. To be able to talk with other men Who respect your views and opinions For those of a man who knows What he’s doing and talking about: Then to sit in the evening And talk with a few of your friends About the things you used to do When you were a hard boiled kid; Of the fun you’d had in vacations And all the jokes you’d played. Why you could talk all night Of the things you used to do. Yes, it must be rather uplifting To say, “I’m twenty-one” But after all is considered I’d rather be what I am.

Bottom Row: Duane Newton, Carl Jacobsen, Anna Mae Vernon, Josephine Hunter, Lucille Bergstrom, Vera Mote, Isobel Priest, Maxine Gilbert, Nellie Brown, Grace Carlson, Jack Bush, Russell Hutchinson. The class of ’31 has entered into all the activities of this school year. It started out by being the first class to have eighty-five per cent of its members Student Body Card holders. The class has offered star players to the two major sports, foot- ball and basketball, and the class as a whole has been behind its classmates and teams in the rooting section. The Junior girls have made a fine showing in inter-class sports, being first in volley ball and second in basketball. It was at the inter- class games that the class, as a class, showed its rooting ability. The Junior class is well represented in athletics and other Student Body activities. The Junior socials too have been very successful and well attended. President .... Vice-President Secretary ..... Treasurer ..... JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS ...........................

The Class of ’32 started out with a bang this year. After the first school party,, given by the Seniors, the Sophomores gave their first party which was declared very good and should be a goal for other classes to attain. The Sophomore class has been highly active in athletics and in Student Body affairs. The Sophomores introduced the idea of a “hot-dog” sale at games this year. This turned out to be a great success and other classes fell in line to try their luck. Class Colors: Purple and Gold. Motto: “Keep to the Heights.” Virgil Hollis ’32 President .....

The Freshman class of 1929-1930 has been very active in all school affairs. It has shown good spirit at rallies and games, and has many worthy deeds to its credit. The girls interclass basketball and volley ball banners given to the winner in the Junior High were won by the Freshmen girls. The Freshmen gave a private class party which was enjoyed by all present. At one of the football games the class of ’33 sold soda pop and ice cream cones, the proceeds of which sale contributed towards the buying of curtains for the assembly hall. The Freshman class also has some very promising athletes to offer to the school in the forthcoming years. Marian Dyer FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President ........................................

The Class of ’34 has rapidly become a well represented group in all Student Body activities. The Eighth Grade sent a large number to the auditorium for the Hallowe’en festival and tied with the Junior class for tournament honors. The class showed its surplus of school spirit when it offered a very large number of players to the “D” and “E” basketball teams. The Eighth Grade has also contributed two assistant yell leaders to the Student Body; Walter Sharon and Billy Barry. Alice Burger, Junior High editor for the Red and Black, is also from the Eighth Grade. Class Slogan: “B natural, B sharp, but never B flat. EIGHTH GRADE OFFICERS President .........

At the beginning of this school year sixty-six members were added to Westwood High School. Although new to the High School they have immediately fallen in line and supported their class and school in all activities. Both boys and girls have shown a great deal of interest in inter- class sports and the class has been well represented on Junior High Athletic Teams. The interest shown is probably due to the fine spirit of the class. We hope to hear from them a great deal in the future. Marjorie Woolman ’30 Alyce Miley ’30 LITERARY Page Twenty-six THE CHIPMUNK Just a Memory I’ve wandered to the old home town And stood there on the square And looked for some familiar face I knew could not be there. But still—somehow I’d see again As though ’twas in a dream The dear old Seniors standing there Just like they used to seem. I even thought I heard them sing “When the Westwood Boys all Fall in Line,” Or perhaps it’s “Go Into the Game”, ’Twas then I pictured everyone ; “Spud”, “Ox”, “Bill” and Bob McKeown. Until each one would fade away Like sun-light at the close of day Because my sight grew dim. The dear old Seniors have drifted far From these loved haunts we knew But still—I’ll bet they often dream Just like I’m telling you. ’Cause sometimes when I’m dreamin’ About these haunts we used to roam I meet them coming down the path That leads to “Home, Sweet Home.” Earl Fitch ’31 THE CHIPMUNK Page Twenty-seven BUT SHE DIDN’T As I see it, Sir Walt Scott wasn’t very well informed on the subject. He came from the West, all right, but his name wasn’t Lochinvar. It was Oscar G. Snoopdoodle. He came from the West: from San Luis Obispo, in fact. But he went back. It was this way. Oscar was in New York on business. As he entered his hotel—er’ I mean, the hotel where he was staying,—a boy asked if he was Mr. O. G. Snoopdoodle. When he answered affirmatively, he was handed a telegram, which read as follows: “ Dear Oscar: FATHER IS FORCING ME TO MARRY THAT VILLAIN COMMA ALOYSIUS E SINGWELL STOP COME AT ONCE STOP LOVE COMMA SUSIE” Oscar hurried to his room, packed only enough clothing to last him on his long journey, hailed a taxi, and drove to an airport. I don’t know which airport it was, so I can only say that he went to an airpor.t There he found a suitable plane, which he chartered, together with a reliable pilot. When he arrived in San Francisco, the pilot discovered that the engine was missing, and as it couldn’t be found, Oscar had to take a train to San L. O. At San Jose, the train was wrecked, so our hero hailed a taxi, and sped down the highway to his destination. Driving to the bride’s home, he was informed that the party had gone to the church. He stayed not for stop signs nor did he stop when a burly son of Erin, dressed in blue and with brass buttons, raised his arm in a signal meaning “Hesitate”, but he unerringly made his way to the First Methodist Church. Telling the taxi-driver to wait, he boldly entered the Church. In- side the door, he met Lucifer Longwind, the father of Susie, followed by Aloysius E. Singwell. The craven bridegroom said not a word, but the bride’s father said, “Oscar G. Snoopdoodle, what are you doing here?” Without waiting to answer, Oscar strode on into the church. He easily found Susie Longwind in the crowd and went to her side. “Susie,” he whispered in her ear, “would you always buy me lavendar neck-ties and orange sox on my birthday, if I got you out of this scrape?” “Oh, Oscar,” she said, “you know I would!” “Curses!” cried Oscar. “She loves me not!” And without more adieu, he dashed out the door, clambered into the taxi, sped away, and was seen no more. Which leads me to believe, gentle reader, that Oscar Snoopdoodle was a much luckier man, if not more gallant, than Lochinvar. Russell Hutchinson ’31 Page Twenty-eight THE CHIPMUNK IT NEVER PAYS Two people were walking around the city of New York. They weren’t very well acquainted with the city and were looking around to amuse themselves. They went into an old bookstore that sold second-hand books. The proprietor seemed to be very old. In fact every- thing was old. As they were looking at the books they came upon a book with a queer and beautiful looking cover. They paid about a dollar for it and left. The couple were going home to read the book, when they heard a voice behind them. Then the old man of the shop caught up with them. “Give me the book,” he cried, “or I shall call the police. You can have your money back, but give me the book.” They wouldn’t give it to him because they thought the old man was playing a trick on them. The old man went off to get the police and later came back saying he couldn’t find the police. The couple were frightened but ran away from the old man. He followed them at a fast gait, but they got into the uptown district and lost him. It was a very excited and curious couple who reached their small flat in the east side of town that night. They were very anxious to see what was in the book that the old man wanted so badly. When they tried to open the book, they found it locked. They then tried to rip it open but it was steel under the cloth cover. What was in the book? It was a small safe. But what did the old man want it for? Why was it mixed with the other books? The next morning Jim called to his wife Mary. “I have an idea how to open that book. I’li drill holes in it and then saw in beCween the holes. That will take the center out, and then we can see what is in it.” After he had gotten the center out, he came into the kitchen and said, “Mary, can you tell me what is in these tins?” “Why, that’s opium. No wonder that old man wanted his book back, he can be arrested for having it in his possession,” replied Mary. “Yes, but look at this note, I wonder what it means. It says ‘Meet me at eleven under the piers at dock six. More’. Mary I have been thinking; I’ll be back tomorrow or late tonight.” Mary spent a day and night of worry and fear. Jim came home late in the morning of the next day. “Mary, you can have those dresses and the new furniture you wanted, for we are twenty-five thousand dollars to the good,” cried Jim. “Why, Jim, where did you get all that money?” “Now, don’t ask any questions until I’m through. You will be proud to have me for a husband!” “When I left you, I had been thinking hard. Did you notice that the book-shop was on a waterfront, and that the old man could run a little too fast for his age? What was the opium for, and whom? Who peddled it? What did the note mean? “When I got out of the house. I went straight to the detective agency and got one of the best men they had. Then we went to dock six, at a few minutes before eleven, and hid under some ties. Believe me I was cramped! THE CHIPMUNK Page Twenty-nine “At eleven, two men came in, one was the old man at the book- shop, and the other was a man whose face looked more like a rat’s than a rat itself. The men were talking earnestly together in under- tones. They were casting glances around as though they were afraid that something would jump on them. As we listened to them, we gained more information from them than they ever would have told in a police station. ‘“This old man’s suit is so hot that I am going to get sunstroke, and these whiskers will melt.’ “‘Aw, come on wear them just a few more days, then we will go to the other side of town. By that time we will be so rich we won’t have to sell opium.’ “‘Yes, but we had better be careful. I sold that book with the note and the tins!’ “‘What! we’ll have to be careful or we’ll land in the cold storage,’ yelled the rat faced man. “‘Well, where is the opium? The Chinese den is getting out of the stuff. Say, by the way, I’ve got a new customer at 601 Broadway.’ “Good, I will meet you there at twelve,’ said The Rat, as we had come to decide his name was. “After they had left, we hopped in a taxi and went to the police station. From there the police and I went to 601 Broadway and broke into the house and raided it. It was one of the largest opium dens in the city. “The Rat” wouldn’t tell anything but the old man, who turned out to be a young man, told all the rest we needed to know. “Well, Mary, let’s look at that furniture.” Lynn Heath ’35 WHY? I like some kinds of poetry, And some I can’t digest. That’s one thing I can’t figure out Altho I try my best. And there are lots of girls I like, While some I just detest And if I ever find out why I’ll surely feel at rest— Well, there are boys that seem quite nice (Until I know them better.) Others I don’t like at first (But learn to like ’em later.) Now all of this is silly trash, But if you can say why Some things I like and some I don’t, Please tell me bye and bye. Faith Mullen ’30 Page Thirty THE CHIPMUNK ON AND ON Once upon a time, in the land of Discontentment, there ruled a mighty king called Never Satisfied. Now it happened that this king had a lion, and being dissatisfied with the animal he wished to be rid of it. His unwise man, Ever Wrong, had told him that a certain animal which was known as the Kill ’Em Quick was the only living thing that could kill this fierce lion. So the king sent for his little page, whose name was Try to Please, and demanded that the lad bring him this animal in a fortnight or he would be fed to the lion. Try To Please set out on his journey to Satisfy Land where he thought he might find the animal or at least get some information about it. In order to reach this land he had to cross the plains of Dis- satisfaction, swim the river of Give It Up, and climb the mountains of What’s the Use, but fearing for his life if he did not return with the strange animal which the King wanted, he managed to reach Satisfy Land. Upon his arrival he asked to be directed to the home of Dr. Fix It Up. He told the doctor his troubles and the old man shook his head sadly. Then he took a big book from a shelf and began to read. After some time he told Try To Please that there wasn’t another Kill ’Em Quick in all the world because that race of animals had run out, but he said that he could fix him up somehow. Taking a large horn from the wall and getting some false whisk- ers and two cans of different colored paint, he went out to where the page had left his horse. He tied the horn and whiskers on the horse and began to paint designs all over its body until, when he had fin- ished, the horse’s neck was spotted green and his body was foolishly designed in a vivid red. Nevertheless the horse was now the very image of the desired Kill ’Em Quick animal. Thanking the doctor. Try To Please started back to the land of Discontentment, mounted on the false Kill ’Em Quick. He rode into the Land of Discontentment just as the sun went down on the last day of the fortnight he had been allowed in which to secure the animal. The king was so pleased with the success of his page’s journey that he rewarded him with a big bag of gold. The day came When the Kill ’Em Quick was to battle with the lion. All the people of the. land gathered at the big arena to see the lion get killed by this strange looking animal. But, alas! they were doomed to disappointment for when the lion and the Kill ’Em' Quick emerged from their tangle the lion wore a smile of triumph and the Kill ’Em Quick stood there looking very foolish, his horn and whiskers lying on the ground before him. When the king and the people saw how they had been tricked they rushed at the frightened page to kill him, but he jumped on the back of the defeated Kill ’Em Quick and rode away from the angry mob. And as far as I know he is still riding, on, on, and on,—on to the land of No Fakers. Lenora Sorrels ’32 THE CHIPMUNK Page Thirty-one THE END OF THE RAINBOW A young miner entered a store in the old gold mining center of Dawson and, having just come in from a long trip over the snow cov- ered lands, immediately went over to the stove and seated himself with the already large group of men gathered there. Turning to the nearest man he inquired, “What’s the news?” At the same time he filled his pipe and reached in his pocket for a match. “Bandits held up and robbed the Owl Mine yesterday and tor- tured Joe into telling them where the gold was hidden. Joe’s wife was sick with pneumonia and he needed the gold for medicine and food.” The hand in which the lighted match was burning, was stopped in midair and the miner did not awake from his surprise until the match had burned his fingers. “Well,” he answered, “I am Jim McDavids from the Rainbow' Mine. The Owl Mine is the one adjoining our claim so you see my cause for alarm. My partner, David, is there all alone. I had to come to town to buy supplies.” Jim now hastened to buy his supplies. Before he had purchased everything it was four o’clock, but already dusk. Jim had decided to stay in Dawson that night and go back to the mine the next day, but upon hearing of the bandits, he determined to hurry back that night. Jim hastened home that night, reaching the cabin shortly after midnight. Coming up to the cabin he heard voices and knew instantly that the bandits had won the race. He crept up to the cabin window and listened. “We’ll only give you until morning to tell where the gold is hidden.” “I’ll never tell,” came the reply. Jim recognized the voice as David’s. Jim now sank back into the darkness to form a plan of action. A few weeks previous they had received a supply of powder for blast- ing purposes. Jim now thought of this. The problem, however, was how to get the bandits into the mine before the charge was set off. Then he suddenly formed a plan. Funny he’d never thought of it be- fore. He now walked up to the cabin and stepped boldly in. “Who’s there?” said a voice, “Whoever it is, halt.” Jim just stood and stared at the scene. Finally he asked, “Where’s David? I’m his partner.” The bandits now approached him and said boastfully, “Aha, now we’ve got them both. Maybe this one’ll tell.” Jim now hastened to reply, “Just let me sleep for a few hours and I’ll tell all I know.” The request was quickly granted. When Jim awoke next morning he told the bandits the gold was hidden in the mine. He said he would show them the place if they would follow him to the mine. Page Thirty-two THE CHIPMUNK Upon entering the mine he led the bandits to the place where their small amount of hard earned gold lay. While the bandits were exulting over the discovery, he hastened back a short distance down the mine and lit the fuse where the powder was hidden. Meantime David was thinking that Jim had deserted him and was feeling very downcast. Just then, however, he heard a great blast, and Jim came rushing into the cabin. “The bandits are gone forever,” he said. The next day the partners went up to the mine and discovered that the blast had uncovered the mother lode of gold, and Jim remarked they had truly found “the end of the rainbow.” Raymond Sundquist ’30 PHORD There once was a laddie named Willie, And he had a phord that was chilly. When it came to a hill, it always stood still And everyone pushed, except Willie. The phord took us places, and places. We opened her up and cops chased us. We “gave her the gas” and everyone we’d pass And to run out of gas, Ah! lord save us. We went fishing, and swimming, and hunting, And in each we put forth all our cunning But to tie to this car and go skiing afar Aha! that is a sport that beats running! But finally she got so dilapidated, This was one thing that we’d always hated, So we gave her away, on a fine sunny day And some guy got gyp’t, so he stated.

The importance of the committee may be seen by the fact that Student Body, consisting of all Students officers and representatives from each of the classes. The President of the Student Body presides at all meetings. The impoortance of the committee may be seen by the fact that it is the student governing unit of the Student Body. The outstanding reason for the existance of such an organization is that business is much more satisfactorily and efficiently carried on by a small group than by one as large as our Student Body. All Student Body affairs of any importance are brought before this committee for approval or for decision before being presented to the Student Body.

The Student Gov’t Club has been very active during the past term and has solved many problems of vital interest to the Student Body. The three greatest projects of the club have been the solving of the Traffic problems in the halls, maintaining order at assembly meetings and the awarding of the School Spirit Cup. In regards to the latter the club now awards a monthly banner to the class showing the most spirit in that time. The class winning the banner the greatst number of times throughout the year is awarded the cup. OFFICERS Bill Watson ...............................................

Secretary THE CHIPMUNK Page Thirty-nine Honor Society In spite of the large place that athletics and social activities seem to take in school life the first aim of every school is scholarship. In recognition of this fact the California Scholarship Federation has been organized for the purpose of encouraging and rewarding outstanding scholarship. The Westwood Chapter of C. S. F. was chartered in 1926 and since that time has taken an active part in the promotion of good scholarship. Each month a scholarship banner is awarded to the class having the highest average in its division and a bar is added to the scholarship plaque for each class receiving the banner for three consecutive mark- ing periods. A cup is also presented each semester to the class having the highest average for the semester. A total of ten honor points for semester grades is required for admission to the organization as a novitiate. To become a permanent member a student must receive ten honor points for four semesters and since the change in grading has been made this is rather hard to do. Novitiate and permanent membership pins are awarded to those who attain the standards set up by the organization. The C. S. F. also sponsors a Junior High Scholarship Society and is planning to give some recognition to those people who receive a ‘B’ average but do not have enough honor points to make C. S. F. Those having permanent membership this semester are: Jack Rookaird (President) Faith Mullen Bill Watson Ruth Kinser Novitiate members are: Alyce Miley (Secretary) Victor Myer Fay Hoyt Leonard Krueger Fenton Quimby Lois Zeta Ches This is a club composed of students who are taking or have taken Spanish and are interested in the practice and study of the Spanish language and customs. This year the club has given two Spanish parties, played basket- ball and give a Spanish assembly program. The following are now members: John Archibald, Dorothy Gif- ford, Fay Hoyt, Virgil Hollis (Vice-President), Mattye Huggins, Ruth Kinser, Mary Lorda (Secretary), Richard Markee, Robert Gleason (President), Bobby McFate, Earlys McNevin, Victor Myer, Basil Nash, Duane Newton, Franklin Ott, Lorene Richardson, Albert Utz, Bennie Valley, Anna May Vernon, Catherine O’Connor, Frederic Gleason, Harvey Perani and Jack Rookaird.

RED AND BLACK STAFF This year the Student Body decided to publish a monthly school paper which would give a resume of activities of the past month. The staff was rather new at anything of this type but due to much hard work under the leadership of Miss Mardon the paper became an accepted school activity. The typing and mimeographing have been done by a group of girls from Miss Taylor’s typing class and the staff owes much of its success to them. The paper is given free to Student Body Card holders but costs five cents a copy to those not having Stu- dent Body Cards. It is hoped that the “Red and Black” will continue to improve as steadily in the future as it has so far.

It is the first activity of this kind in which the Glee Club has participated, but since they have concentrated their entire efforts upon this one event every one looks for them to make a good showing. BOYS’ QUARTET The Boy’s Quartet this year made a decided hit with the students and townspeople. They gave several numbers at most of the outstand- ing social functions of this year and aided outside organizations in making their programs successful. Having such a group of boys in High School activities is certainly to be encouraged and we hope that graduation will not too greatly effect this year’s quartet. Members of the quartet this year were: Robert Gleason, Riley McComas, Jack Dollarhide and Russell Hutchinson, with Russell drop- ping out at the beginning of the second semester and being replaced by Marvin Mankins.

SENIOR HIGH DRAMATIC CLUB During the first month of school a group of students interested in dramatics and stage management met to discuss plans for dramatic activities and to elect officers. Jack Dollarhide was elected president and Isobel Priest secretary. The play chosen to be presented this year was “Quality Street”. The cast was selected and started work immed- iately under the direction of Mrs.. Jayne. This play is to be presented May 15, 16 and is to be the one big accomplishment of the Dramatics Club for this year. CAST Valentine Brown Phoebe .......... Miss Susan....... Spicer...........

THE CHIPMUNK Page Forty-five High School Orchestra This organization has done some very creditable work this year. Its members are always willing and ready to play when called upon. As a group they have played on many occasions. They played a few numbers on the P. T. A. benefit program. They also furnished music for Open House, for the play “Quality Street” and for the com- mencement program. Aside from the work of the entire group some smaller ensemble work has been done. Marvin Mankins and Leslie Prusia gave a clarinet duet as an assembly number. Robert Gleason and Robert Allen also played a trombone and trumpet duet. A trio consisting of two trumpets and a trombone has been organ- ized. This group is expected to be presented quite often. The personnel is as follows: VIOLINS Marian Dyer Corinne Andrews La Vern Richardson CLARINETS Marvin Mankins Leslie Prusia TRUMPETS Walter Sharon Ellsworth Scammon Herbert Taylor Jack Dollarhide PIANO Josephine Hunter SAXAPHONES George Blake Clifton Prusia TROMBONES Robert Gleason Lorena Richardson School Calender September 10—The first day of school—New teachers—New clothes and everything—Everyone was glad to get back to school. 28—The first football game of the season—Westwood vs Shasta, at Redding—Our team fought hard. But they defeated us 24-0. It was too hot for one thing—we nearly roasted! October 5—“Chico Kittens” vs Westwood—Score 7-0 in our favor—It was a very interesting game—and especially as it was in our favor. 25—Big bonfire rally for Modoc game. “Red” Hollis got up a snappy program—songs, yells, and speeches. It surely gave everyone a lot of pep for the game the next day. Page Forty-six THE CHIPMUNK 26—The “Sophs” gave a party for the Alturas team—but they could not be present! The auditorium was decorated with autumn leaves—Just everyone was there. Refreshments were served at mid- night. November 2—We played the “Rowdies”. We won! It was a fairly interest- ing game although the Reno boys were quite a bit smaller than our team. 23—Los Zeta Ches party. Games were played—new members initiated. At a late hour refreshments were served. The Los Zeta Ches voted the party “A howling success”. 27—Thanksgiving! Much rejoicing! Turkey and all the trimmin’s Whoops, My Dear. December 25—Christmas. Oh boy! Vacation—and what a well earned vaca- tion. And how we did make use of it! January 17—The Seniors gave the first party of the new year and were the first to dance to school songs. The Seniors got a good crowd and everyone departed in the highest of spirits. 24—Our first basketball game—Westwood vs. Alturas. Final score was 40-14. It wasn’t a very good start for our basketball season but we made up for it later. 31—Portola basketball game. We won! 38-10. The auditorium was packed. Sophs sold “Hot Dogs”. We fed the teams afterwards. February 14—We won two games from the Reno ‘Y’ and lost one to them. All three were good games and there was a fairly good crowd present. 21—Defeated Lassen again here by a fairly good score. Twice we’ve defeated our old rivals. It was a good, fast, hard-fought game. The last game of the season. 28—The Juniors held a joint card party and business meeting. The Seniors made away with the “eats”. But the Juniors reported oodles of fun anyway. March 6—Dr. Knowles, president of “College of the Pacific” addressed the student body—his topic being “America and Peace”. It was a very interesting talk and was a real treat to the student body. 14-16—Girls’ Conference at Richardson’s Springs. Carlie Fowler, Marjorie Woolman, Mattye Huggins and Vera Mote represented West- wood. The conference was sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. The theme was “Windows” in all of their different phases. When the girls returned we listened to some very interesting talks on the conference. April 2—Short periods and a school field meet in the afternoon. The class of ’32 walked away with most of the honors. 11—Easter Vacation. The Annual goes to the printers. Most any- thing might happen between now and June!

His transfer to Stockton Hi is a decided loss to our High School. MARVIN MANKINS, Center A stone wall on defense—and his passes from center always accur- ate. He has another year in which to star for Westwood High. EDWARD MacDONNAUGH, Guard An outstanding guard. Not many of the opposing plays got through his side of the line. CHARLES KOERNER, Guard As a worthy running mate of MacDonnaugh’s, he showed remark- able agressiveness in all the games in which he participated. He will also be lost to the team through graduation. ROBERT GLEASON, Tackle As a tackle Gleason repeatedly broke up plays, and blocked that memorable punt which gave us a two to nothing victory over Susan- ville. A consistantly hard worker will be lost through graduation. LAWRENCE JOHNSTONE, Guard As a guard “Speedy” gave a good account of himself whenever called upon to play. With the experience gained this year he should develop into a smashing guard next year. SIDNEY KNUDSEN, End As end Knudsen made many beautiful tackles and was one of the two linemen to make a touchdown this year. Sam will be a Senior next year. JOHN BENSON, End Benson, a hard driving end, was very alert on both the offensive and defensive. High School supporters look for him to star next year. JACK ROQUIN, End Jack showed remarkable ability at breaking up opposing plays before they got started. He has another year of competition. GEORGE BLAKE, End Blake played an outstanding defensive game, allowing very few plays to get around him. Blake is only a Freshman and has several years more to play. DONALD MILLER, Quarter Back Possessing a good knowledge of the game, Don called the plays with remarkable ability. His loss will be sorely felt by the team. JOHN KEESHAN, Half Back A good ball carrier, Shan also possessed an uncanny knack of receiving passes and was often used in this capacity. He will be lost through graduation. THE CHIPMUNK Page Fifty-one ALLEN O’CONNOR, Half Back As a ball carrier, O’Connor showed outstanding ability. Defens- ively he played safety man and returned many yards on punts. CHARLEY MOLLART, Full Back Whenever a few yards were needed Charley could always be depended upon to come through. He also showed remarkable defensive ability by backing up the line. Charley’s place will be hard to fill next year. ROY WALKER, Half Back A hard driving ball carrier. Walker was also a star on defense. He will aid greatly in the building of next year’s team. CARL JACOBSEN, Half Back “Jake” made up for his lack of size by his remarkable speed and was often used on wide end plays. He will be back for another year of football. FRANK KEY, Quarter Back As an understudy to the quarter back position this year, he has learned much of the art of calling plays and will undoubtedly be an asset to next year’s team. VIRGIL HOLLIS, Full Back “Red” showed wonderful ability and fight whenever called upon to play, and is a leading candidate for next year’s full back position.

JACK ROQUIN, Center Jack was a star offensive player usually packing the scoring punch. He has another year with W. H. S. JOHN KEESHAN, Forward Shan was a remarkable floor man and was decidedly valuable in getting the ball near our basket. This was his last year of basketball. ALLEN O’CONNOR, Forward O’Connor was a fast floor man possessing an uncanny ability to shoot baskets from any part of the floor. He, also will be lost through graduation. JOHN BENSON, Guard Benson is a hard working guard who looks like a “comer”. He will be a Senior next year. BILL WATSON, Guard Bill played a good floor game and was a very aggressive type of player. Due to graduation he will not be with us next year. ROBERT GLEASON, Center Bob, a good all around player will be lost to next year’s team through graduation. CARL JACOBSEN, Forward A fast floor man, possessing a good shooting eye “Jake” will be an aid to next year’s team. BERT PIERSON, Forward Bert was a good team player with a good shooting eye. He will be lost through graduation. BASEBALL Due to the fact that Westwood won the championship of Lassen County last year and only a few of its members have been lost since then, a very successfull season is looked forward to. To date four games have been scheduled, one being with Chico and three with Susanville. TRACK Several members of last year’s track team have been working out lately and chances for a good showing in the coming Susanville meet are very good.

G. A. A. As there are no more interscholastic sports for the girls, the Girls’ Athletic Association has been established this year. Two representa- tives from each class, together with the athletics manager and the advisor. Miss Liston, met once each week for the purpose of establish- ing a constitution. Girls wishing to join the association must have a designated num- ber of points. After obtaining these points they are entitled to attend meetings and have a voice in all business therein. Points are given for many different types of athletics. Awards, consisting of a Block “W”, Circle “W” and class numerals are given after a girl has earned the required number of points for each. As yet, the organization is not fully formed but with the opening of the new school year it is expected to be functioning smoothly. Marjorie Woolman Alyce Miley Page Fifty-six THE CHIPMUNK Girls Athletics The Girls Basketball season started with much enthusiasm and tine school spirit. A good crowd of girls turned out and continued to do so until basketball season was over. With the introduction of the Girls’ Athletic Association in the school all interscholastic games were discontinued. As a result all but one of the games were interclass and each class produced a good team which fought hard for victory. The banner for Senior High basketball championship went to the Senior girls. They played hard and were defeated only once during the basketball season. This defeat was given them by the Junior Class team. The Junior High banner was won after a series of fast contests by the Ninth Grade girls. The girls’ varsity, chosen from the best in the class teams, played one game with the Paul Bunyan team. And although the girls put up a good fight they were defeated 18-37. The Volley ball season was short but eventful. Each class turned out a good team and the best sportsmanship possible was shown in every game. The Junior Girls won the Senior High Volley ball banner and the Ninth grade girls proved their athletic ability by winning the Volley ball banner as well as the Basketball banner for the Junior High.

After he had worried his Grandmother all afternoon it came time for him to go home. But this was impossible for a storm was threatening and Grandmother was afraid to let him go; and in a few moments the rain fell in torrents. William’s Mother was worried but soon received a call asking if Wil- liam could stay with his Grandmother that evening. After an elapse of half an hour a faint knock was heard on Grandmother’s door.
