THE CHIPMUNK I? Volume XII Published Annually by the Students of the Westwood Junior-Senior High School, Westwood, California 1932 2 The Chipmunk FOREWORD This issue of the “Chipmunk” carries with it the sincere hope of the staff that the effort to bring forth an accurate reproduction of the year’s activities has been suc- cessful. The athletic, social, aca- demic, and scholastic sides of our school life have been portrayed as faithfully as possible. They, fused with our surroundings, are symbol- ized in the theme “Seasons”, with the year’s activities divided into Fall, the sincere beginning; Winter the earnest endeavor; and Spring, the happy ending. Within these covers are innova- tions which have not before been attempted in the history of the “Chipmunk”. We hope you like them. The combined efforts of the 1932 staff have been directed not only toward the success of this annual, but of those of the future. The Chipmunk DEDICATION In recognition of their faithful efforts to make this period of our life as worthwhile and as enjoyable as possible, with our welfare as their only aim, this “Chipmunk” is lov- ingly dedicated to the mothers and fathers of students of Westwood High School. IN REMEMBRANCE MARGARET JACOBSEN ERBES Jail The Chipmunk 5 ADAPTATION Summer has been full of bright, happy vacation days, with not a responsibility in the world to burden our minds. But these days pass all too quickly, and Fall approaches like a herald to summon us to a different phase of life. We work among our books and our old companions, leaving behind us all the thoughts of carefree summer as we strive to adapt ourselves to the work which we have undertaken. It is a little difficult, perhaps, but we master it with earnest effort and the assistance of our teachers. Although our teams have not been active in organized sports dur- ing the hot, lazy summer, the mellow brisk days of autumn have inspired them with a felling that it is time they were up and doing. They go out to reap their harvest, and returning lay sheaves of victory at our feet. As Mother Nature is changing her bright green cloak to one of rich russet and yellow ,we girls and boys are flocking to school dances, in the gayest apparel and with spirits that flame high as we make our new recreations as enjoyable as those of the summer from which we have just turned. We take up our new offices and become familiar with the various duties connected with them, making many mistakes, but at least learn- ing to fill them efficiently. We join new clubs, and gradually become acquainted with the people with whom we work. A spirit of good will is felt everywhere. As the days pass, we find that we have grown accustomed to this new phase of life, and have adjusted ourselves to our responsibilities. And before we know it we are confronted with the fact that it is time to purchase warmer togs. 6 The Chipmunk FACULTY George Geyer: A.B., Pomona College; M. A., U. of California. Principal.

Franklyn Ott, the president of the student body for 1931-1932, won the respect of the whole school by his efficiency in performing his many duties. A lot of the success of the student body depends upon the president, who has to preside at all meetings of the student body and Executive Committee, calling special meetings when they are neces- sary; appoint committees; and countersign all checks and contracts. He has the power, in case of an emergency, to incur bills not to exceed five dollars. Franklyn has been one of the foremost students in extra- curricular activities during the last four years. The vice-president, who assumes the duties of the president in the absence or disability of the latter, was Mattye Huggins. Mattye has been another one of our activities students and has held various positions in the student body. The secretary must keep accurate minutes of all business meetings of the student body; conduct all correspondence carried on in the name of the student body when directed by the president or by the Executive Committee; and keep on file all amendments adopted. Marion Dyer very ably filled the position this year. The student body has recog- nized Marion’s ability and has shown its approval by electing her to the vice-presidency next year. Being treasurer of a high school that carries such an extensive financial program as that of W.H.S. is, indeed, a job. Lois Johnson, a junior, filled this position exceedingly well the whole year. The treasurer has many duties, among them receiving and giving receipts for all money belonging to the student body or activities connected with the student body, and submitting weekly reports to the Executive Com- mittee. The treasurer must also report its financial condition to the student body at regular meetings. Ott Huggins Dyer Johnson The Chipmunk 9 The yell and song leaders have charge of all pep rallies and lead all yells and songs at games. These positions were filled this year by Bill Barry and Beatrice Martin, to the satisfaction of the entire school. These officers are elected by the active members of the student body and they serve for one school year. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE All student body officers automatically become members of the Executive committee, which has as additional membership one or more representatives chosen by the members of each class. The seventh, eighth and ninth grades each have one representative, the tenth and eleventh grades have two, and the twelfth grade three. The executive committee is one of the most important in the entire school. Its duties are to make and enforce any rules necessary for the betterment of the school, its life, or interests. It grants charters to clubs and other school organizations. It supervises all matters con- cerning extra-curricular activities and the payment of bills not exceeding twenty-five dollars. All bills exceeding this sum must be voted upon by the student body. This year the class representatives were: Seventh grade . Eighth grade ... Ninth grade .... Tenth grade ....

It was originally the “Traffic Squad”, with the duty of merely regulating hall traffic; but the duties of the newer organization have so widened as to include within its jurisdic- tion anything detrimental to the school. This group takes care of the conduct of the students at any school function, such as a free show, a basketball game or a dance The membership consists of twenty seniors and ten juniors, the juniors automatically remaining members in their senior year. The halls are divided into ten posts, and for the five minutes be- tween classes a Senior Control member stands at each station to direct traffic. Any offender is summoned to appear before the committee by white slips stating the place and time. He is brought before the board and his offense stated. If he is proven quilty he is sentenced and put under the charge of a Board member, who attends to the carrying out of the offender’s penalty. It is the aim of these students to make the attitude and conduct of our students a model for other schools. Many other schools of small student bodies have never satisfactorily solved the problems the Senior Control faces It is inevitable that, as the student body comes to more and more appreciate the aims and ideals of this organization and to co-operate for its success, the Senior Control will reach its final goal.

The Chipmunk 11 ART CLUB The Art Club was organized early this year, in order that all members might get their Christmas cards made before vacation. They made their own designs, cut the linoleum blocks, and then printed their cards. Some were experts in the line of finishing and filled several outside orders for Christmas cards. Meetings were held every Wednesday evening from 7 :30 to 8:30 until Night School started, when the meetings were discontinued for the rest of the year. A few members of the Club have done work for the Annual Staff, and have made many posters for class parties and other activities. INTERNATIONAL CLUB The International Club is the only Junior High club of the school. It is under the supervision of Miss Kettlewell. The purpose of the group is to acquaint its members with the ideas, customs, beliefs, and habits of foreign countries. The countries with which the members have communicated are Italy, South Wales, Japan, Holland, Germany, England, Spain, France, and Ireland. Many candy sales were given during the noon hours at school this year, together with a sale at one of the football games. A delegate, Jimmy Jacobsen, was sent to the International Con- vention in San Francisco. The advisor was also able to attend. This club is well supported by the Junior High, since it is very interesting and worth while. OFFICERS President ...........................................

SECRETARY CLEMENTINA PERRY: For the first few weeks of the school year the seventh grade did not have regular class meetings, but met in groups where they learned how to conduct meetings. On No- vember 9, we elected officers and then began doing things. We gave a Chinese pageant as an assembly program on the twentieth of Novem- ber and (if we do say so ourselves) it was a great success. In fact, it was so well received that we were asked to present it for the Mothers Club. On February 11 our class gave a candy sale, and set an example for the rest of the school by having each member bring either candy or a dime. Several of the boys from our class were members of the ‘“Steel- heads” and “Redheads” football teams. They made a big showing in the games they played, and promise to be good future football material for the W.H.S. PRESIDENT: Are there any corrections or additions to the minutes? JOE: What about our paying our picture in the annual? I think that’s one of the most important things we did this year. PRESIDENT: Very good. Be sure to put that in, Clementina. Are there any more corrections or additions? MARY: We gave a party on March third in the high school auditor- ium. Everyone had such a good time that I think it should be included. And we paid for the refreshments, too. PRESIDENT: Any more? DENNIS: Yeah. One more thing. The “A” and “B” sections enter- tained each other in class meetings. PRESIDENT: Are there more additions? Is there any new business? If not, the meeting will adjourn until next September. Top Row—Rookaird, Lubin, Freemeyer, Storts, Mieler, Knudson, Fowler, Reid, Morey, Rookaird, Rosas, Theiler.

SECRETARY FLORENCE MILEY: Our class gave two candy sales this year to pay for our cut in the annual. Our English and Social Studies classes entertained the Student Body on February 19 by pre- senting a very interesting and well worked out play, “When Martha Comes Home.” We gave it in honor of the father of our country, George Washington. On April twenty ninth, in the afternoon, we presented a musical comedy, “Quinneane,” as an assembly program. We repeated it again that night for Open House and we are very proud to say that it was a huge success. PRESIDENT: Are there any corrections or additions to the minutes? BILLIE: What about those entertainments in class meetings? PRESIDENT: Yes. Are there any more additions? LOIS: Some of our boys were on the “miniature” football teams, weren’t they? They shouldn’t be forgotten, ‘cause some day they’ll be big huskies and play on the real team. PRESIDENT: Are there any more corrections? If not we will have the treasurer’s report now. TREASURER FLORENCE MILEY: From the first candy sale we re- ceived four dollars and fifty cents. From the second we received twyo dollars and twenty cents. We spent five dollars and sixteen cents for the class picture cut in the annual. Top Row—Elliot. J. Combero, lines, Denna, Williams, McRay, Brooks, Buroughs, Bates Yarborough. Second Row—P.

The “grads” got together, worked out a few plays and with a line which greatly outweighed the High School and a back field made up of former stars, they came out witn a score of 6-0 in their favor. The following Saturday Chico came to Westwood. Chico had a very heavy line that battered dowm the High School forward wall, and a backlield that went through the holes for two touchdowns. Although Westwood put up a brave fight, the game ended in favor of Chico, 14-0. The Redding game was fast from the start to the finish. The “Lumberjacks” made the first two touchdowns, but after that the Shasta boys held like a stone wall, and drove down the field for two goals, getting one additional point on a convert when a W.H.S. man was off side. Then Hollis ran 65 yards to a touchdown, but failed to convert, and the game ended 13-12 in Shasta’s favor. The All-Star game was played instead of one with the Reno “Antlers”, who failed to appear. The All-Star team was a pick-up aggregation from about town of all the former football players of the W.H.S. The game was a good one, and even though the All-Stars had the disadvantage of being out of shape and were not well organized they put up a good fight. The score at the end of the game was West- wood 20, All-Stars 0. The Alturas game was played to a “shut-out”. The Modoc boys fought hard to push the Westwood boys back, but that was impossible. The “Lumberjacks.” clicked as one. The game ended, for the first time in many years of Westwood-Alturas rivalry, in Westwood’s favor, with a score of 12-0. The football game of most interest to W.H.S. every year is her “Big Game” with her traditional rival, Lassen. This year the West- wood varsity journeyed to Susanville, accompanied by every rooter who could find transportation. The game turned out to be a one-sided Curtis Lamson Hollis Prusia The Chipmunk 15 FOOTBALL (Continued) affair in favor of Lassen, but this does not mean that the Westwood boys did not give their opponents a hard, game fight. The smashing attacks of MacDowell and Terril for Lassen went through the West- wood line for repeated gains, but not without a struggle against both the line and backfield of W.H.S. The final score was 33 to 7. The last football event of the season was a no-score game with the Alumni on November 13.

The squad suffered badly from the loss of experienced football players, most of this year’s turnout being first year men. On top of this the team members suffered several injuries. Robert Allen, second year man, was out for some time on account of a badly iniured leg. He was replaced by Dick Mile.v. who filled the position well. Later Dick wras transfered to center, where he stayed till the end of the season. This was Dick’s first year, but he could make the center of the line hold like a stone wall. Also Lester Duer, receivine a fractured hand, had to sit on the side lines and watch for practically the full season. This was Ton Row—Coach Curtice, Atkins, Brown. Bickel.

L T ' J . . 1 16 The Chinmunk FOOTBALL (Continued) hard to do for a person with the fighting spirit that is in “Les.” Francis Bickel took his place and proved to be a strong offensive and defensive player. “Red” Hollis, our fast half, was injured in the Modoc game when he was thrown out of bounds by a hard tackle which wrenched his leg. “Red”, the fastest man in the back field, made many long runs for Westwood, but due to his injured leg was unable to com- pete against Lassen, which was a great loss for the team. It was “Red” who ran about 65 yards for a touchdown at Redding. John Lorda, smart, small and fast, was the substitute for Hollis in the Lassen game. Lorda was also substitute for Walker in the Redding game when Walker was injured. An all around good player and good backfield man was Dick Markee. Dick was a steady player and always filled his position well. John Lamson was a player who was ever a fighter; he was always in the middle of things, could hit the line hard, and sometimes make a hole where there was none. At the end of the backfield was Jack Roguin, and due to his long passes and to the catching of Timoni at end, several touchdowns were made. Walker, quarterback for the “Lumberjacks,” showed some outstanding playing, and good brain work in the matter of picking out plays. In the backfield was a little fellow at whom every one marveled, Francis Miley. He had great ability in dodging around and under some of the big fellows. At tackles were Allen and Bates, a regular flving tackle and blocking pair. They were always in the way of the off-tackle plays of their opponents. Duer and June played the two guard positions and always fought hard to the bitter end. “B” FOOTBALL The “B” football souad. made up for the one purpose of playing and beating Lassen’s “B” string, proved a fast, fighting team. In their one public appearance they gave the onlookers a very thrilling game. Standing-.—F. Miley. Walker. Lamson. Hollis, Coach Curtice. Kneeling—Roguin. Allan. June Duer. D. Miley Bates, Timone The Chipmunk 17 FOOTBALL (Continued) At times Lassen was unable to stop them, and at other times the two teams fought in a deadlock. The ball changed hands rapidly and often. When the final whistle blew and the game came to an end, the score stood 6-0 in Westwood’s favor. An innovation of the 1931 season was the organization of the Junior high “Steelheads” and “Redheads”, teams made up of seventh and eighth grade boys, respectively. After faithful practicing, these two teams played feature games between halves of contests played on the Westwood field. They furnished a great deal of entertainment to the spectators, and besides aroused class spirit to a high pitch, as they were heartily supported by their classmates on the bleachers. Junior Ott captained the eighth graders, and Milton Miller the seventh graders.

G.’s on their team they had to forfeit the championship of the girls’ interclass basketball series to the Juniors, who held second place. The Junior team con- sisted of seven girls: holding down the guard positions were Faye Phelan, Wilma Klotz and Shiela Cooper; at center were Virginia Fowler and Mary Lorda: while at forward were Marion Dyer and “Bede” Martin. A banner which is awarded to the “Champs” each year was given to the Junior Class.

Wittier The Chipmunk 21 ACTIVITY Old King Winter blows around the corner and is upon us before we can realize what is happening. With an icy, shrill blast he summons his servants from their rest into active duty. There they stand all in a row before his Majesty, waiting for orders: Mr. Wind, who has been the King’s herald, Mr. Snow, and Mr. Jack Frost. All have their tools with them, ready to begin work immediately. First comes the command to strip the trees of their foliage. Off the Wind frisks and in no time at all he has left the world a bleak and desolate place. The tall trees stand gaunt and bare against dark, over- hanging clouds, the harbingers of the heavy snowfalls and icy rains that are at hand. And here they come—first, the sleety rains, leaving the earth a miserable place of mud and gloom. Then comes the snow and dresses the world in a gorgeous white robe of crystals. A queer sensation runs through our veins—a tingle which reminds us that soon we’ll be skimming over the snow through the biting, invigor- ating mountain air. Everything looks beautiful with this prospect ahead and the students take advantage of the opportunity. Soon a group of young people are seen setting out with skiis over their shoul- ders for an active day’s sport. What if fingers and toes ache? The thrills and adventures we experience are ample compensation. Our basketball teams are facing the blasts of their enemies boldly and coming out unscathed, with a great deal of glory added to their high school’s name. The Debating Club has inspired many students and fiery discussions are being carried on. Other clubs are active pre- senting plays, and earning money by feeding the eager spectators at the games. The “Lumberjack” and annual staffs are working day and night, and dramatics groups are putting forth every effort to perfect plays and skits. Strains of music can be heard almost every evening as the orchestra or Glee Clubs practice for future performances. Class- work has become more interesting as we delve more deeply into our subjects, and new branches of learning are being actively explored. The spirit of activity reigns supreme over the school. Although we look forward eagerly to the fruit of our labors, as we draw nearer to Spring we regret'the passing of a busy, happy time . 22 The Chipmunk NINTH GRADE PRESIDENT ORVAL McFADDEN: If the meeting will please come to order we will have the minutes of the past year. SECRETARY ALVERA TIMONE: To start the year right, we gave an assembly program on the twentieth of November. Lois Cooper and Carrie Mae Linn presented a snappy tap dance. They were dressed as pickaninnies and were really very clever. Others of the class gave a play, “If Books Came Alive”. On the fourth of December we gave a candy sale, and on the nine- teenth of December we gave a food sale in the department store. From these we received plenty of money to pay for our cut in the annual and for the refreshments at our party, which was given in the high school auditorium on March eleventh. It was a St. Patrick’s party and the color scheme and decorations were very well worked out. We had a statue of St. Patrick on the stage and the hall was decorated with green and white streamers. We and our guests enjoyed an evening of dancing. A few of the girls presented a tap dance which was very good. PRESIDENT: Are there any corrections or additions to the secretary’s minutes? DORIS: Yeah, we gave a pop corn sale in March some time. PRESIDENT: Are there any more additions? If not, we will continue the meeting by having the treasurer’s report. SECRETARY ALVERA TIMONE: Received from the candy sale December fourth, four dollars and twenty-five cents. From the food sale December nineteenth we received ten dollars and twenty cents. From the pop corn sale March eighteenth we received three dollars and fifty cents. Expended—Five dollars and fifteen cents for the Fresh- men annual cut. PRESIDENT: Are there any corrections or additions to the treasurer’s report? If not, it stands approved as read. Is there any new or old business? No? Then the meeting will adjourn until next September. Top Row—Jacobsen, Bradford. Second Row—Miss Kettlewell. Morey, Emerson, D. O Bnen, Brown, Strickland. Third Row—V. Garnero, McFadyen, Packard.

The Chipmunk 23 TENTH GRADE PRESIDENT RICHARD MILEY: If the meeting will please come to order we will have the minutes of our Sophomore year. SECRETARY HELEN CYR: The regular meetings of the sophomores were held every two weeks throughout the past school year. It looks very promising for the “Sophs” in athletics for the future, as we had two boys on the football team, one of whom was Billy Barry, our vice president; and we also had one boy on the varsity basketball team. A large percent of the class turned out for track and baseball. We now have two boys in the Block “W” society. The school’s social season was opened by our class with a sport dance which was a big success. PRESIDENT: Are there any corrections or additions to the secretary’s report? HANK: Say, how about the things we did for school spirit? We gave an assembly program—you know, the one in which we impersonated different radio entertainers—on March the fifth.

The members re- ceived the same number of credits as the Junior students, and met twice a week, on Monday from 3:00 to 3:45 and on Tuesday from 12:20 to 1:00. The Glee Club has shown the greatest enthusiasm throughout the year. Its members made their first appearance at a football rally when they presented a new school “pep” song. At their performance for the Scholarship Benefit Show, two interesting and beautiful numbers were sung. The group has also performed in assemblies and provided fine entertainment on various occasions. The members have sung three part work all year, and have made a marked improvement in their singing.

The cast was composed largely of ninth grade members, capably supported by seventh and eighth graders. The play opened at the home of an old farmer and his wife, on Christmas Eve. Soon a bus driver came in and asked if the children of the bus could remain within their home until he could repair the car. The children entered dressed in Christmas garb and at the request of the old couple presented the operetta which they were scheduled to give at a nearby school-house. The returning bus driver brought the happy news to the old lonesome couple that their children were coming home for Christmas. The old farmer was played by Thomas Wharton, his wife by Vivian O’Brien, and the bus driver by Loren Morey. The singers were chosen from the Junior High Glee Club. Others in the cast ably sup- ported the main characters of the operetta. JUNIOR HIGH GLEE CLUB The Junior High Glee Club was formed for the first time this year, under the direction of Mrs. Green. The Glee Club entitled the students who took the course to a quarter of a credit each. They met twice a week, on Monday from 12 :20 to 1:00 and on Tuesday from 3:00 to 3 :45. They decided to work on the development of the voice for their class work throughout the year. The participants have shown marked improvement in their voices. All have been willing to co-operate with their instructor and the club has moved along rapidly in its work. Top Row—Hoffman, Giles, Osborne. Second Row—Parker, Miley, Chatoian, Gormley, Davidson, J.

The cast worked long and hard to make their produc- tion a success, expecially the main players, whose parts were difficult and very unlike the characters of the performers in everyday life. Bobby Allen carried off his part very well. Franklyn Ott and Dick Miley, although they didn’t look like twins, surely acted like them. The leading lady, Elise Challoner, taken by the ever-talented Mattye Huggins, was played splendidly. George and Sally Boyd, played by Francis Bickel and Glenna Cashdollar, were a regular sister and brother team, and how they did put across their parts! Mrs. Curtice, the direc- tor, is to be highly complimented for a fine piece of work. The Cast Austin Bevins .. David Mackenzie George Boyd .... Jim Simpkins ... Tim Simpkins ... Homer Johns ....

Helen Cyi For the other dramatics of the year, each class and organization presented a stunt or play. All were very well done and there was never a lack of entertainment. The seventh grade opened the year with a Chinese scene, then the Scholarship Society presentd a humorous one-act play entitled “Some Class”. This play was one of the most outstanding of the year. The Sophs gave us something new in entertainment by putting on an original “Radio Program”, imitating quite skillfully the different radio stars. The Senior Class also presented a one-act farce, centering about a mock wedding, which was very entertaining. The Annual Staff presented “The Touchdown” with a fine eye for comedy. The Junior Class crave one of the best performances of the year when Bob Allen, as “The Valiant” prisoner, played an excellent heru to the equally sincere portrayal of the Warden by Harry Bates. Francis Bickel as the priest and Lois Johnson as the sister gave good character- izations. This play was repeated for the Mother’s Club. The Chipmunk 27 ACADEMIC If someone were to spend a day—any day, in Westwood high school, he would be struck by the sense of activity pervading the scene. Especially in the academic classes would he find much to interest him. Here are girls cooking, making clothes, and working on the loom. As a courtesy to the visitor, they display their work—beautifully wov- en rugs, and luncheon sets, a cook book which they intend to sell if possible, aprons and headbands which they wear when they serve at teas and luncheons, table decorations and samples of delicious food. Next is the Science room, full of interesting experiments and exhi- bitions. Here the visitor sees busy little seventh graders studying ventilation, eighth graders working hard on their problem of Fire Pre- vention and first aid to the burned, a part, it seems, of a large unit on heat; Freshmen covering such things as food habits, balanced diets, how to make food appetizing; the Biology class studying the nervous system; and the Physics class studying steam and internal combustion engines. On entering the Shop where Arts and Crafts is taught, the guest notices students of all ages. Some of the things they have made are on display: step ladders, model sail and power boats, magazine holders, end tables, toys, toboggans, skiis, ironing boards, flower boxes, cedar chests, bird houses, and box traps. A class of older boys is working on isometric drawings. It appears to the observer that here is practical, worth while training. On visiting the Westwood High School Commercial classes, one could easily imagine himself in a large business office. Students are typing, dittoing, mimeographing, or using the adding machine and dictaphone. The classes in Latin and Spanish learn the speech and the life of another land and another time, as they progress from the simplest sen- tences to the best literature of the language they are studying. In mathematics new departures are being made in the lower classes; the learning of simple computations is combined with the most practical training possible. In the upper division, the mathematics that is prerequisite to work in scientific fields, many skilled trades, and business, is given thorough study. The classes in social studies in the lower division are spending their time learning about the w-orld in general, while in the senior high specialization takes place, with one group studying world history, an- other learning the facts about our own country, including the functions of the government, and the Social Studies 12 class acquiring a knowledge of economic principles. In the English department, the observer would find students busy writing or giving oral reports on subiects in w hich they are interested, or enjoving the reading of some w ell-known book. The advanced classes tending their study toward college preparatory work, might be making charts or reports in the field of English and American liter- ature, acting a scene from a Shakespearean plav. or working on compo- sition projects such as the school paper and literary magazine. Exceedingly entertaining would be the hour spent w'ith the physi- cal education classes, watching girls executing clogging and tap-danc- ing routines, or playing lively trames of basketball or volleyball: and boys shooting about in a tumbling act. or putting everything they have into baseball, touch-tackle, track, and basketball games. 28 The Chipmunk LUMBERJACK STAFF The “Lumberjack” Staff of ’31 and ’32 consisted of the English 11 class, under the supervision of Miss Arthur. The writing and editing is done as an extra project of the class work. Some other students who have wanted extra service points have donated them services for the work at the print shop and for typing. Mr. Fletcher Walker’s kindness makes it possible for the paper to be printed at the local printing office, where it is issued with the “Westwood Sugar Pine.” The “Lumberjack is a monthly edition, and gives a summary of the activities for the preceeding weeks. The first edition this year came out on October 23. On November 6, Miss Arthur’s English 12 class issued a special edition dealing with “American Education Week” and what is accomplished by education. December 18, a double size edition was published, and one of the last papers was an enlarged edition. The students have learned to be good reporters, and have put much hard work into making the “Lumberjack” a success.

The Chipmunk 29 WINTER SPORTS CLUB Just as soon as the snow fell this year the Winter Sports Club got busy, elected officers, and outlined a program, with Miss Wilson as adisor. Their first outing took place at Goodrich. A ski slide and jump were made, also a tobaggon trail. The club took its lunch and made a real day of it. For the first few meetings the members consisted of only boys, then the girls began to join. The boys did not like this so well, but, of coursp they had to put up with it. This year the club was a most popular one, for there was always a lot of excitement and fun. RALLY LEADERS The song leader for this school year was “Bede” Martin, and her assistants were Mary Lorda and Katherine O’Connor. “Bede” and her assistants got a lot of pep out of the assemblies and the rooting sections. . Bill Barry was the yell leader, and with the assistance of Bill Markee and Francis Bergstrom was able to work up school spirit to a high pitch, and give the team new courage. Due to these facts the rallies were always a “howling” success. DEBATING CLUB The Debate Club was organized for the first time this year, under the supervision of Miss Kettlewell. The purpose of the club is to en- courage public speaking and poise. The members have many plans for the future of the club, and even though they had been organized only a short time, made arrangements this year for a debate with Susanville, besides assembly programs. The students have shown much interest in this sort of thing, and have taken the opportunity of improving their greatest asset: namely, the ability to speak before an audience.

Lorda, Markee, Bergstrom 30 The Chipmunk GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION In former years the G.A.A. (Girls Athletic Association) did not take such an active part in the school activities as it has in the last two years. This organization takes the place of the Girls Hi “Y” and the Girls League of other schools. It is hoped that later on it may be possible to form these clubs here. The G.A.A. Executive Board, which attends to all business of the association, met every other Wednesday throughout the year. The officers were: President, Virginia Fowler; Vice President, Mattye Huggins; Secretary, Shiela Cooper; Treasurer, Lois Johnson; Advisor, Miss Feusier. This year, for the first time in its history, the club sponsored a party. Held on March 4, it carried out an “Ice Carnival Idea’’. There were novelties, peppy music by a five piece orchestra, and several tap dances and a song by members of the G.A.A. The Board gave a Hi Jinx for all the girls of the school on April 8, for the purpose of getting the girls better acquainted. Several new members were initiated into the group. The girls of every class gave some sort of a stunt, after which there were games and dancing. In order to belong to the G.A.A. every girl must earn 200 points or more. These may be obtained by making at least two teams, or by playing tennis, hiking, etc. It seems, from the look of things, that of the most active in the school during thi Top Row—Cooper, Fowler, DuBois. Yoekum. Feusier. Bottom Row—Huggi Row—Ebell, Klotz, Ott, Miss Johnson. The Chipmunk 31 BLOCK “W” SOCIETY The Block “W” Society, consisting of the boys who have earned their “W either by bootball, basketball, baseball, or track, was organized in 1921. Mr. Curtice is now their advisor. One of the biggest honors that a boy can obtain in his high school career is to get his “W”; of course, some earn more than one “W”, and from one to three stars, and this is a still higher honor. After every sport season the new members are initiated before the assembly, and their “W” or star is presented. One of the biggest social events of the year was sponsored by this society, the occasion being a Cabaret Dance on March 18. This was a private party for the present members, alumni members, faculty, trustees, and their guests. The dinner was served by the Mother’s Club. With “miles” of serpentine, caps, noise makers, and by the clever decor- ations, the cabaret style was well carried out. It is planned to have this an annual affair in the coming years. The delegates to the “Older Boys Conference” are usually chosen from the Block “W” Society. This year Francis Miley, Rich Miley, Francis Bickel, and Richard Markee attended the conference held in Red Bluff the last part of November. The membership for 1932 is one of the largest the society has known. Twenty three boys were wearers of the Block “W” this year. The officers are: President ................................................ Roy Walker Vice-President ...........................................Jack Lamson Secretary and Treasurer .................................. Jack Roguin Top Row—Hull, Allen, Bates, Pinkham, Raguin, Mr. Curtice, June Lamson Crutchfield, D. Miley. Bottom Row—Bickel, Hollis, McPhee, Duer, Markee. Walker, Utz, Timone, Lorda, F. Miley. 32 TheChipmunk BASKETBALL The captain of the varsity was “Red” Hollis, who first played right forward but was changed to standing guard due to the loss of the two first string men, Roguin and Walker. Roguin became ineligible to play for W.H.S. due to the fact his eighth semester of athletic partici- pation was up at Christmas. Walker was ineligible for the same reason. Pinkham played at center, and filled that position well. R. Miley, at the beginning of the season, played standing guard, but with the loss of Walker it was found best to place Miley at forward. Markee was then placed at the other forward position, making a sound forward wall.' Pope Martin was placed at running guard and due to his long “bulls eye” shots W.H.S. was able to defeat Lassen. There was little substituting done during the season, although Allen, Bates, Hull, Ott and Bickle saw some playing.

Kneeling:—Bickel, Lamson, Miley. Rogruin, Hollis, Pinkham, Walker, Markee The Chipmunk 33 “B” STRING Basil Nash, elected captain, piloted his “B” string through a very successful season. They won practically all their games, including the game with Elk Grove. Elk Grove was the champion team of its league and had a very good quintet. The “B” team was quite small, but fast and crafty. Their defen- sive and offensive playing was excellent throughout the year. Lorda played forward and gave signals, and showed the good judgment that comes with experience. Timoni, playing running guard, was at times a little “hot” headed, but he always pulled through and played a very good game. At standing guard was “Phil” Brown, dependable, able to worry any opponent who might be dribbling for a basket. At center was an old standby, Madrid, who could and did out-jump most of his opponents and who was also especially good at following up a shot. The second string also saw a great deal of playing. Prusia, playing one forward, and Miley the other, worked well together. At running guard was “Red” Barry, at center Knudsen, and at standing guard, “What-a-Man” Felion.

The squad was promised quite a few games at the beginning of the year, but due to certain handicaps was unable to have more than three. But they took it in a good natured manner and went into their few games to win. The first tilt was with Reno Y. In this game the C team won and were in high spirit. When the Lassen game came up they went in to win, but Susanville was a little better than the Reno Y team and the game ended in a tie after playing an extra quarter. They played Lassen a second time at Lassen, held Lassen to a tie for an extra quarter, then in the second extra period of that game, they lost by three points due to some unlucky breaks. The two games between Lassen and the Westwood C team proved to be two of the best games of the year. Standing—Coach Curtice, Steiner, Saborido. Brown, Haas. Kneeling—Emerson, Casillas, Merrill, Prior, Valley, Lauer. The Chipmunk 35 ALL STARS The “All Stars” are the girls’ varsity team, and were picked from the interclass teams by our Physical Education teacher, Miss Feusier. The team consisted of fourteen players, no six being recognized as the first team. The girls are not allowed to play out-of-town teams, and for that reason the “All Stars” were not able to demonstrate their ability to any great extent. Their only games were one with the Paul Bunyan girls, which they lost 30-5, and one with the Girl Scouts, Troop 1, which they won by a substantial margin. In both games Wilma Klotz, the Captain, played forward. Mattye Huggins, Marian Dyer, Rosalie Phillips, and Bessie McCall also took turns at forward. In center Virginia Fowler played more or less per- manently, with Ilda Johnson and Carrie Linn. Changing off at intervals were Shiela Cooper, Evelyn Weaver, Jeanne Wilcox, Doris Simpson, Elsie Ebell, and Helen Allison all playing the position of guard. Although they fought hard, they were unable to keep their more experienced opponents from scoring, in the Paul Bunyan game. BASKETBALL, D AND E TEAMS “Red” Hollis and John Lorda were appointed coaches last fall of the future stars of Westwood. The two teams of the Junior High School proved to be great rivals and hard fighters. In the games be- tween them they fought like demons and always gave a good show to their spectators. There proved to be some excellent material in these two teams, and it was developed to a great extent by the coaches. Top Row—Bangle, Jurgenson, Hornshuh, Emerson. Mankins, Rosas, Morey. Coleman, Cole. Second Row—Coach Hollis, Philips, Reid, Storts, Prusia, Murphy, Burroughs, Elliot Williams, Coach Lorda. Third Row—Bowden, Yarborough. Hiatt. Bottom Row___Ott, Knudsen, Campos, Markee, Timone, Miller, Smithers, Pappa. Bergstrom, Haynes, Leon. The Chipmunk WINTER CALENDAR December 4—First basketball games of the year between high school “A” string and Firemen, “B” string and Moose; high school vic- torious in both games. Pretty good. U—“A” squad plays HooHoos’, and “Bs” clash with Moose. Again high school wins both games. New Scholarship Society puts on sensational comedy. 14—High school gives benefit show. Scholarship fund is much bet- ter looking since the show. 16— Seventh grade gets big hearted and repeats Chinese program for Mother’s Club. 17— We cheer up! Good times are coming; first noon dance of year is held. The Junior High presents their operetta, and it is a grand success. 18— “A” string defeats Moose, but the “B” squad gets defeated by Firemen. However, as this is the first defeat of the season they are forgiven. After all, we feel pretty good, since we get three weeks vacation as a Christmas present. January 15—“A” squad plays Firemen and “B” string tackles the Moose. 23—The “A” and “B” squads trav- el to Red Bluff to play basket- ball and get beaten in both games, but not by large scores. The Chipmunk WINTER CALENDAR January (Continued) February 25—Most sensational race ever held at Westwood High School starts. Each class has an air- plane, representing its progress in the race for one hundred per cent annual sales. 27—High school plays three losing games: W.H.S. Girls All-Stai vs. the Paul Bunyan girls; the “A” string vs. the Moose; and the “B” team vs. the Firemen. Not so good. 29—The “A” team plays the Alumni and the “Bs” play the Moose. 1—The airplane race ends, with the Seniors winning and the Juniors close behind. Annual sales are gratifying. 19—Greenville town team comes to Westwood and plays our “A” team. Reno plays “Bs” and 12—Our “A”, “B” and “C” strings play Lassen “A”, “B” and “C” teams. The “C” game is a tie, Westwood “B” team wins, and the Lassen “A” squad wins, making a pretty good balance. After the game the Seniors give a big dance at the high school auditorium. 26—“A” string beats Lassen on Susanville basketball court, the “B” team following up with same results. Not so the “C” squad; Lassen “C” team beats them by a very few points. 38 The Chipmunk WINTER The sun looks down on barren fields, Where grain and hay have grown. The nights have left a frosty shield, Our feathered friends have flown. Days are cold, skies look dreary, All the world is wan and weary; See, the clouds have barred the sun, Saying to us, “Winter has come”. Across the heavens geese are honking, As they flee before the cold Beneath our feet we know is sleeping The groundhog in his fold. Trees are bleak, hills are white, Winds now blow and howl all night; Their song of woe has too begun, Saying to us, “Winter has come”. We break a trail to the anple bins, Come, help us with a will! The drifts pile high. the fun begins, On every road and hill. Trails are steep, skiis are fast. All the ponds are slick as glass, Sleds are whin’n along the run. Saying to us, “Winter has come”.

By Victor Myer “32’ spring The Chipmunk 39 ACHIEVEMENT We hail Spring with great delight, for although Winter has af- forded much sport and activity we have a strange feeling of joy as the first welcome breezes of Spring blow around us. Spring! White, fleecy clouds floating overhead, gardens gay with flowers, and song- sters carolling in the trees—these inspire us with a feeling of new life. The activities of the school have all reached a state of fruition. The annual has come back from the printers a finished book and worthy of all the effort put into it by the staff. The many weary hours spent in practice by the casts of the plays bear fruit in the excellent perform- ances they give. As the students have gained a greater mastery of their subjects, the scholarship standing of the school has gone up. The Lumberjack staff blossoms forth with the best edition of the year. Our athletes are starring in track and baseball. Their muscles have been developed bv the sports of other seasons and now they are able to make a good showing at sectional and state meets, giving a fit- ting close to a year during which they have added a great deal of glory to their school’s name. Spring is the season for social events, and we all have so many good times that wre recrret leaving school. Gay and decorative parties are followed by jolly picnics, with the Junior-Senior Prom as the climax. Then comes the graduation of the students who are iust embarking on the sea of life. They have not met manv reverse tides as yet. and we hope they wi’l not: but they ?re in the Spring of life, and if they are tossed about by the uncertain waves, they will be able to weather the storm. We wish them bon voyage, and hope that when they have sailed a little farther on they will look back with pride and gratitude to the school for which they have worked so hard. And so the school year passes, and we leave for awhile to spend the summer in pleasure. 40 The Chipmunk SWc MARY LAUR Vice President Class 4, Glee Club 3-4.

There’ll be a hot time in the old town to- morrow night when the 13th annual reunion of the class of 1932 of the Westwood High School gets under way. For the past week the old grads have been flocking in- to Westwood to take part in the festivities, and the rest are expected to arrive by train or airplane today and tomorrow. The hotel is jam- med and accomodations can- not be had for any price. The merry makers throng the streets so thickly that many times traffic is held up. With these new arrivals new money comes in, and the town looks as if it were on the boom. It is a far cry from the depression of the student days of the class of 1932. A carnival spirit prevails throughout the town, for in the past twelve years the residents have come to look forward to the yearly re- unions of this class, and turn out 1009£ to welcome the class that holds so warm a place in their hearts. Tomorrow night the mem- bers o fthe class and their wives, husbands, and friends will gather at the recently finished Hotel Whatwould for the Opening Dinner. After the dinner Lester Leroy Duer. president of the class in its senior year, and now a newspaperman of national reputation, will speak on the topic, “Where, Oh Where, Has Our Faculty Gone?” Saturday the alumni again accompanied by the aforesaid encumbrances, will repair to Lake Almanor, where they will re-enact the scenes of their youth. A dinner of freshly caught trout will be a feature of the day. if the trout are willing. Otherwise, the “grads” will enjoy their old favorites, wiennie wursts and chewing gum. Saturday night a dance will be given at the High School Assembly Hall. The entertainment will consist of twelve numbers by the 1932 Mens Quartet, composed of Franklyn Ott, Ricnard Mar- kee, Victor Myer, and Harold McPhee. The Honorable Mattye Huggins John, Governess of California, may be able to attend the reunion here, ac- cording to word received to- day. This is a reversal of the announcement made at the beginning of the state executive’s recent illness. Mrs. John was re-elected to the governorship last year by a large majority, on a platform of “A Robot House- keeper for Every Wife”. That exactly one hundred seniors will graduate from Westwood High School the last part of this month, was the announcement made to- day by Miss Catherine O’Conner, superintendent of Westwood schools and prin- cipal of the high school. Miss O’Connor (in private life Mrs. Richard Markee), will act as hostess for the re- union of her own high school class, to be held here this .veek-end.

The Chipmunk 49 SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY This year the Westwood Junior Senior High School Scholarship Society was formed as a stepping-stone for the students trying for the C.S.F. Miss Mahoney was the sponser. The membership consisted of all students who made the class or school honor rolls, and any other senior high students attaining six honor points. They elected their officers, and made plans for assembly programs and social events. Each month new members came in. Ones having met the require- ments three months out of four, or by semester average, were considered permanent. These members decided on the pins, which were awarded in assembly. This stirred up quite an interest in schol- arship and many more made the honor roll. All Junior High members enjoyed a theatre party on February 8 to “Way Back Home”, featuring Seth Parker, the great radio star. After the show' they went to the Teacher’s Cottage where Miss Mahoney served light refreshments. A week later, on February 15, the Senior High members got together and enjoyed Marie Dressler’s excellent characterization in “Emma”. Miss Mahoney was hostess afterwards at an after theatre supper. The Scholarship Society presented the play “Some Class” in assem- bly. It was very cleverly work out, and favorably accepted by the student body. President .... Vice-President Secretary ....

The Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editor, and Business Manager were appointed by the Student Body President. The rest of the staff, selected by these three and the Staff Advisor and Director of Student Body Activities, was approved by the Student Body President. Three members of the staff, Lester Duer, Sheila Cooper, and Victor Myer, attended the Press Convention at Chico in September. Several good ideas and interesting points were brought back for the annual staff. The engravers’ representative, Mr. Ellsworth, met with the group Friday night, December 4, to explain the make-up of an annual. It is through him that the Staff was able to improve the “Chipmunk” to the extent it has been this year. On January 30, the Staff and Executive Committee gave a school party, the profits of which, amounting to some seventeen dollars, went towards the annual. All classes, clubs, and sports were represented by banners which formed part of the decorations. Everyone had a good time, and the party proved a big success. “Touchdown”, a humorous one-act play, was presented in assembly by the Staff. The admission was one or more snaps, and many good ones were obtained. There was also a Snap Day, on which everyone was supposed to take pictures and donate them to the annual.

It has been prepared to give immediate service when- ever called upon. The group’s first appearance this year was at an assembly program in our auditorium. The main objectives of the work have been to give the pupils more ability in sight reading, to train them to give spirited interpretations, and to furnish them an opportunity to bring pleasure to others through performances. The orchestra has been able to lend excellent support at the rallies. Clarinet: Leslie Prusia. Trumpets: Robert Allen, Walter Sharon. Saxaphone: Clifton Prusia. Drum : First semester, Robert Spencer—Second semester, Jimmie June. Violin: Marian Dyer, Earl Prusia, Marvin Hornshuh. Piano: Evelyn Norton. The school also had a jazz orchestra this year, composed of five pieces. Every Thursday noon they furnished popular music for the noon dances sponsored by the Seniors. They also afforded splendid music for some of the class parties and other entertainments. The members of the jazz orchestra were: Piano, Marian Dyer; Trumpet, Bob Allen; Banjo, Harry Bates; Drums, Jimmie June. Standing—Blake, Dyer, Morton, Director: Miss Green. E. Prusia. Hornshuh. Seated—Allan, L. Prusia, Spencer, C. Prusia. Sharon. The Chipmunk 53 TENNIS CLUB As soon as school started in the fall, the Tennis Club became active. At their first meeting, under Miss Feusier, they elected their officers and planned for a “work day” at the courts. Early in September this was held, and the courts were cleaned and gravel put around the edges. The work was just well started when winter came. In the spring the club had another work day, and finished the courts, putting them in excellent condition. A tournament was planned and several games were played among the members. BASEBALL The 1931 baseball season was a very short one. The high school had but one game, which was with their rival Lassen. This game the W.H.S. took on a silver platter, allowing Lassen but three runs—and those didn’t come until the last inning. The home boys had thirteen runs. Roguin was in the box with Walker behind the batter and be- tween them 'they allowed very few hits. At first base was Captain Lackey who could catch a ball, and keep a foot on any base that came within five feet of him. Lackey was noted for his big feet. At second and short were “Jake” and Benson respectively. Between them they covered all the territory around either side of second. At third was Campos, a quiet person who could use his “noodle” when it came to baseball playing. Last but not least came the field, held down by three plavers: “Red” Hollis, “Swede” Welder, and “Scotty” McPhee. These boys took care of the field balls and took care of them well. And it was they who saw to it that there were no home runs. Top Row—Mr. Curtice, Hollis, Campos, Welder, McPhee. Bottom Row—Gazarian, Jacobsen, Roquin, Benson. Lackey, Bates, Walker. 54 The Chipmunk PLAY DAY The purpose of Play Day is to give the girls opportunity to asso- ciate and become acquainted with girls from outside schools. As the girls are not allowed to participate with other schools in any sport, this is their only way of meeting each other. All sports are participated in by the girls from both schools, on the teams for which they have signed up. The teams are usually iden- tified by colors which the girls wear. Practically all sports are played, including tennis, basketball, baseball, volley ball, and sometimes speed- ball. When lunch is served each girl from the home school is supposed to take a guest. In this way the girls become well acquainted, and find many new friends. On May 7, the weather permitting, they had their Play Day with Susanville, over there. Later the Westwood girls were hostesses for the Greenville Play Day. TRACK The 1931 Track season, with the coming of new stars, proved to be very successful. Many records were broken and several stars rated trips down below. Harry Bates, high jumper, took a place in the Redding meet, Jacobsen also placed in the low hurdles. These stars, due to their unusual ability, were each awarded a gold track shoe, by the school. These were not all the stars; many others, although they didn’t get to go below, showed they had the stuff in them at the Susan- ville meet by their good time, distance, and height. These stars will, most of them, have a couple of years yet in which to develop and show what they can do in the future track meets of the school. It is hoped that more stars come out and show their ability and that the present ones improve so that the school will be able to send more of them down below. The 1932 season will hold two long trips for the five outstand- ing track men of Westwood High.

I can see the flowers emerging, I can hear the robins sing; Now I know that this strange feeling’s Just another sign of “Spring”. I wish I could go fishin’, In the lakes and in the streams, But I’ve got to go to school. And go fishin’ in my dreams. So I’ll go to school for a little while, And study the best I can, But ol’ boy Spring has got me As its gotten other men. I’d like to be ahikin’ or aridin’. To go swimming if I could, But there’s other things to do ’Fore’ I go tramping through the woods. Yes, there’s something in the air, That tells of different things, I put it down as being caused. By this lovely season, “Spring”. —J. L. ' .V '■ “ aK ‘ X ' SSv - V -,vN-.: y(f -• , , «§££. V 2yga?TMjTf. v v .- Kg • 0§fiX j ' « - •'i j ’• v 'L .
