THE CHIPMUNK 1933-1934 1 CYCLE As the sun lowers its rays into the sea I feel as though I, too, want to be lowered. What’s left in the world for me? Nothing but tragedy ahead— But maybe I’m just weary. I see happy children running about Oblivious to the ways of the world; They will learn that there is doubt. And I walk on, cursing the world— But maybe I’m just weary. Florence DuBois. 2 THE CHIPMUNK Westwood High School 1934—Remember? The moon and the evening star got to- gether somehow, and this is what we saw from behind the gym that night.

Bradford, who donated his services to make our sand-blast cover; also we thank the Red River Lumber Company, through Mr. T. R. Wills, for permitting this arrangement, and for donation of the panels. Also acknowledging the splendid work and assistance given by Eileen Valley in Art, Helen Siebe in Clubs, Chester Imes in Humor, and two members of the Lumberjack, Irene Newsham and Elsie Ebell, who kindly assisted us. Special credit is due to the Camera Club, whose photography work made possible a better annual. 4 FOREWORD The staff members of the Chipmunk for “34” have worked ardently, endeavoring to bring to you a book which contains a truthful but interesting record of the school year. Progress and cooperation have been their aims and they have attempted to encourage these through the pages of this book. In our home town we are afforded the opportunity of becoming fully acquainted with one of the most pro- ductive industries—that of lumber. It is with gratitude for this opportunity that we dedicate this issue of he Chipmunk to “The Mill.” It is with half joy and sorrow that the staff has finished their work and present this book to you to judge how well they have fulfilled their duty. RESCUE Its blue cover stained by wind and rain. Its printed pages faded and curled, For years in the attic corner it has lain Where it was thoughtlessly hurled. Baby eyes gazed in glee At its faded pictures of knights so bold. But that baby has grown, you see, And has no use for a friend of old. Maybe it will be discovered someday And recovered from its dusty den, Held once again in a childish way By a brand new little friend. —Dorothy Yanger. 6 AT WORK THE FACULTY Mrs. Geyer Mr. Geyer Miss Green Mrs. Graham Mr. Geeting Mrs. Opsahl Mr. Hahn Mrs. Pendleton Mr. Nixon Mr. Curtice Mrs. Frodsham Mr. Mitchell Miss Wilson Mr. Cox Mrs. Huggins 7 THE FACULTY The faculty of our Westwood High Are very grand and yet so young and spry, We students love them all and try to do All we can to make them love us too. George Geyer, ruler of our institute Thought a funny-paper test would be cute. Phyllis Geyer with her sweet and wtnsome ways, Sets her pupils into a forgetful daze. Ellis Nixon, favorite of our ducky school, Makes a joyous game out of the golden rule. Ronald Cox is the high school’s romeo For a shiny silver trumpet he can blow. Stuart Mitchell with news work has so much to do, Not to mention the high school annual too. Miss Wilson is our senior advisor, And day by day she makes us wiser. Miss Green is just a lovely girl, Whose golden hair does softly curl. Mrs. Graham is the high’s commercial teacher, In wood-block work she also seems to feature. Coach Curtice is an athletic man, Who teaches all the healthy sports he can. “Pete” Opsahl is the manager of our ladies’ sports And is most often seen around in shorts. Mrs. Huggins is a pleasant, helpful teacher, A sweet and loving kind little creature. Mrs. Frodsham is a woman so fine, Of education she knows every line. Helen Pendleton is the Home Ec. tutor, Who tells each girl what will suit her. Baxter Geeting, our famous dramatist, On making speeches does insist. Mr. Hahn is instructor in shop, And of 6th period study he knows quite a lot. 8 STUDENT BODY Rap, Rap. Dick Miley, president of the student body, angrily raps for order. Ah! But he isn’t angry. He glances at Alvera Timone, secretary, and with one of his winning smiles asks her to read the minutes of the last meeting. She has hardly finished when she falls into Dick’s arms in a dead faint. Dick then carries her tenderly to her seat and returns to his position at the front of the hall. Jean Wilcox, treasurer, is then asked for the treasurer’s report, which is given in a very small voice while her winning, blue eyes wander around the room and then center upon one spot. The report is finished and Jean rushes back to the haven of her seat beside--------? Then, like a ray of sunshine after the storm, appears our little “cheerio of yell,” Coy Brown. Coy has impressed us with the fact that the coming game is going to be a hard one and that we should give the team support at the game as well as during the meeting, when who should appear upon the scene but Rosie Chatoian, the meadow lark of the singing world, to lead us in a good old rousing song. Then Dick appears and says that if there are no announcements, the meeting will adjourn from the front. Last but not least comes Dan Merrill, our vice president. Dick kindly steps aside at times so that “Danny” can show us that he can lead our assembly nearly as well as Dick. 9 SENIORS Florence DuBois Basketball ................. 2-3-4 Volleyball .................. 2-3 Ex.

It is one of superb beauty with a ceiling of azure blue and walls so vastly apart from each other that the voice echoes and re-echoes to reach the farthest corner . It is a place in which there is an everlasting silence, broken only by the mighty organ as its beautiful chords rustle the lofty spires. It is not a place made by mortal hands but one made by the gracious hands of God. My church is an un-named cathedral—God’s own vast forest. —Jim Jacobsen. 14 SENIORS Ruskewitz: No! No ! No! The Seniors! I am talking about the Seniors! Now, again. They are Glorious! Stupendous! Dynamic!

All was well until the annuat staff came and took $5.55 of their hard earned money, but it didn’t take long to make that up again. The president, Coy Brown, was kept busy working on the Prom and Junior-Senior Picnic. The vice president, Alvera Timone, spent most of the year bawling out the president, but he enjoyed it. The secretary, Charlotte Pierce, was kept busy, and the treasurer, Vivian O’Brien, and Julia Lauer, had no soft time of it. The juniors will make a fine lot of seniors—We hope! 15 NINTH GRADE The Ninth Grade have had much success in starting their high school career. They have learned how to organize. When the presi- dent of the class, Darrell Rookaird, resigned, Dick Knudsen, the vice president, took office. The class had fine industrious officers who were: secretary, Virginia Dyer; treasurer, Nicholas Freemyer; song- leader, Velma Prior; and yell-leader, Frank Phillips.

The “Sophs” have done much this year. A Christmas dance was given with the hall decorated in the Christmas theme. The boys have certainly trained the girls in sports appreciation. When the picnic came, everyone played football. Can you imagine? But the girls not to be outdone by the boys taught the class football hero, Clark Bowden, to dance. Dear Mr. Nixon! He lets them do almost anything and the class worships him! 16 Top Row: Valley, Jarnagin, Cardwell, Rolfe, Miley. Cantin, Salisbury, Vandervate, Johnson, Allen, Watson, Hoffman. Center: Walstrom.

EIGHTH GRADE Heigh, Ho! The eighth grade have just been sailing along. They have shown outstanding ability in their sales. They’ve given a rip-snorting picnic at Clear Creek and have eaten more weenies at one sitting, perhaps, than any other group. They’ve made a perfect start. Class president was Marian Hull; vice president, Thomas Miley; secreta -treasurer, Ruth Perry; song leader, Marguerite Kinser, and yell leader, Robby Brown. The latter two kept up the class spirit by giving peppy songs and programs. Now, dear people, don’t think they’re the only ones who have done anytihng. Deary me! Heavenly days, no! The class has done plenty—gave the assembly some snappy-ish entertainments and a class play on May 2nd. Mr. Mitchell is the class adviser and a good one, too. We’re a-rootin’ for yuh, eighth grade!

SEVENTH GRADE Heavenly days, but this old high school is jest a springin’ along. These seventh graders are certainly industrious. Deary me! Have they made the money? Just ask them. Are they getting to be hot! cha! cha! They even danced at their party in the first semester. But with an adviser like Mr. Cox to spur them on what could you expect? Pa-lese don’t think Mr. Cox is the only one to spur them on. Oh, no; the two song leaders, Violet Chatoian. and Alice Linn, and the two yell leaders, Edward Gazarian, and Robert Powers lead them in plenty of pep. What officers does the class have? Boy! I’m asking you. Are they good or are they good? They must be or the class wouldn’t have them, don’t cha know? I ’spose you’d like to know who they are. Well, all right.

There’s Glenna Cashdollar, president, rambling away about a picnic held at Almanor Lake in April and telling about what a successful popcorn sale they had. But that isn’t all. Pins were given to all members. 19 R. O. H. Yum! Yum! What’s that smell? I bet it’s the Royal Order of Homemakers at it again. You know Elsie Ebell is president and what a president! They sure can cook, and this is only their second year in existence. But no wonder they are so good. Half of them went to the conference in Chico this year, and they received plenty of new ideas, and gave a few, too. Top Row: Fletcher, Calvo, Linn. Miley, Newton. Butters, Clester.

Bring in the first witness.” The pale-faced criminal slinks into a chair, dies a thousand deaths, passes through Hades, and then is condemned to shovel snow for one hour. 20 JUNIOR HI GLEE CLUB Now I’ve been told that they were studying folk songs but I guess these songs got the best of them as they turned to Christmas carols. Really you should have heard them (or maybe you did) sing Christmas carols in the play, “Why the Chimes Rang,” directed by Mr. Baxter Geeting. The officers: president, (cute little blonde) Louise Anderson; vice president, (brunette) Beverly West; secretary- treasurer, (Oh dear—a boy!) Morris Markee. Yes, and I know why these Junior High Glee Clubbers know their stuff. Who wouldn’t with a kind little lady like Miss Ella Green as instructor? Top Row: Young:.

The Chief, Helen Cyr, calls the meeting to order and then an hour or so is spent in cultivating the voices of the members, under the supervision of Miss Ella Green. When Spring came the hours were spent in singing songs appropriate to the season. Then as Sumjner slowly closed in on them the wailing tunes of cowboy songs filled the air. By the t:me school ended there was not a song left unsung. Loran Morey was vice president and Mary Campos the secretary-treasurer. 21 Top Row: Williams, Becker, Brown, Jacobsen, Mitchell, Lindersmith, Freemeyer, Rookaird, Markee, Rookaird.

CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club had no constitution, as the sole purpose of the organization was for the pleasure of its members. There were no set rules of attendance or any by-laws. During the year several students learned to do all of their photography work, developing, printing, and enlarging. Kenneth Lindersmith was the first president, but after a semes- ter he had to resign due to too much school work. Coy Brown was then elected and finished out the year as president. Darrell Rookaird was secretary, and Marian Hull, treasurer. The Camera Club did all of the Chipmunk’s portrait photogra- phy, the feature pages, and many of the groups. A few of the more interested students made enlargers and printers that turned out as good work as commercial equipment. Several picture-expedition hikes were made, there was a picnic at Clear Creek, enlarging and printing demonstrations were made Open House night, and a photographic salon completely filled the library. 22 ORCHESTRA The Orchestra had a brand new start this year after a year in oblivion. The group being small found itself with many handicaps on several occasions, but has been going straight ahead under the leadership of Mr. Cox, who reorganized the group and added to it his skilled trumpet playing. We enjoyed many delightful programs in our assemblies at which the Orchestra was always ready and willing to render a few selections. At Open House the Orchestra also played for the program and at all performances furnished new and delightful pieces, which were received with much applause. Mr. Cox even pre- dicts a greater and more progressive year for his Orchestra next year. The group enjoyed two delightful parties during the year. One was held at the Teachers’ Cottage, where the evening was spent in playing various games. The other was a theatre party, which all enjoyed immensely. The group was composed of nine members, Mr. Cox, inclusive. They were as follows: Nicholas Freemeyer, Eugene Starr. Miles Purcell, Earl Prussia, Terry Becker, Roy Salem, Ruth Leon, and William Markee. 23 DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatics Club was organized this year by Mr. Baxter Geeting, for all students desiring to learn and improve their knowledge in the art of drama, not only from the acting standpoint but in make-up, stage work, and lighting effects as well. The group was a rather large one and at their first meeting elected Dick Miley for their president. This club took into its hands to see that an assembly program was presented occasionally. They presented several successful plays in professional style, the first of which was “Sauce for the Goslings.” Others presented by the club were “Good Medicine,” and “Upstage.” These plays were directed by student directors although Mr. Geeting supervised them. The participants in these plays really deserve a chance to show themselves in the movie studios of Hollywood. However, this being impossible, they did obtain a chance to perform in our local theater. On the night of April 16, this group presented three one-act plays there in order to obtain money for the scholarship fund. The plays were received well by the town folk and the club feels that their first year in existence was indeed a successful one. Prospects for next year in the Dramatics Club are in the “big time” circuit. First, (whisper it) Rooms 8 and 10 may be de-history- ized, de-Englishized, de-Mathized, and instead, a LITTLE THEATRE will be installed with everything from prompting box to make-up (ten dollars’ worth of the latter, girls!). Plays will be tried out here before 24 A T I C S Top Row : Godwin, Brown, Jacobsen, Brand. Lindersmith, Geeting, Atkins, Miley, Williams.

The “Message from Khufu”, which rhymes with Chandu, will be the first attempt of the Dramatics Club next semester. Action takes place in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt,—yes, action, which takes place when people steal emeralds and gewgaws of the Pharaohs. Cast is, Professor Harder, archeologist; Herman, Butch, and Ben, deserters from the Foreign Legion. There is to be a tournament of one-act plays, if present plans carry through, for all northern-section schools such as Susanville. Greenville, Red Bluff, Chico, etc., which will be run off at the also-new sectional Presidents’ Conference, which will be held next year, prob- ably. (this is still nebulous, and a scoop by the Chipmunk) at Fresno State Teachers’ College. May the best cast of characters get to go! The Dramatics Club will hold regular meetings next year, in- stead of having the informal play producing organization that existed this year and plans a regular schedule of one-acts, and one three-act during the school year. 25 PUBLIC ANNUAL Why the big Pow Wow in Room 11? What’s that you say? So that’s it. They’re choosing rep- resentatives to go to the N. C. H. S. P. A. Ouch! Northern California High School Press Association. Two people from the Lumberjack, and two from the Chipmunk will attend this convention in Chico on October 26-27. Boy! Wish I were one of ’em. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell accom- panied them, and from the reports they all had a good time. Wait, what’s this? Here it is 10 P.M. and the school building is all lighted. Look at that fellow in there waving his arms. By golly, it’s Ted Ellsworth. He’s up on his annual round of the Northern California high schools. Mr. Ellsworth always gives us many good points on how to improve our year book. Good old Ted. What in the world is happening now? Listen! Hear those shots! Now come screams. Say! Pm going home. Someone was murdered right in our school! Too bad it wasn’t the Faculty. I expect to see the ambulance go by every minute. Hello! What’s this? Here come Coy Brown and Glenna Cashdollar, smiling from ear to ear. Something’s up. There are Dick Miley and Alvera Timone, and a bunch more. “You’re getting along fine, people. This play is going to be a wow!” says Mr. Mitchell. So that’s it! Here I thought I was going to have some gossip, and it’s only an Annual Staff play. Oh, well. 26 AT I O N S TORCH SONG A new year! A new teacher! A new bunch of students to learn the art of newspaper writing! And later, much later, an altogether new Lumber- jack! At the beginning of the year Elsie Ebell was chosen as editor and the staff clicked along for one whole semester, Elsie, on the way, attending the annual Press Convention in Chico. When the second semester rolled around an altogether new staff was elected and Irene Newsham was installed at the editor’s desk. The Lu'jnberjack editions were partly paid for by student labor at the Red River Lumber Co’s, printing office, and by copy which they sold to the Lassen Advocate. High school news was printed every week in the Sugar Pine and the Lumberjack made its appearance once a month. Many clever cartoons were featured during the last semester which were cut out of linoleum by Eileen Valley. Column writers sprang up and the paper flourished! Knute Hylen’s “Pup’s Diary,” Coy Brown’s “An Orchid to You,” and Frank Prior’s joke column kept both students and faculty in a good humor. During the last few weeks of school the sophomores helped put out a Lumberjack and put some articles in the Sugar Pine so that they would know something about how a newspaper works when it came their turn to publish the paper in their junior year. The dif- ferent page editors could be seen at ’most any hour cutting out articles from the galley proofs and pasting them on sheets the way they wanted them to appear in the Lumberjack. Well, it was a good staff. Come on, you juniors, we throw the torch to you. Top Row: Pierce, Coopex-, Casillas, McFadyen, Hunderman, Williams. Packard, Haas. Center: Valley, Lauer, Sharon, Becker, Saborido, Morey, Johnson, Mix, Mitchell. Bottom: Campos, Ebell, Herrera, Walker, Gonzalez, Newsham.

All of the rookies were throwing out their chests and telling how they were going to tear some of the opposing teams to shreds. The men of ex- perience smiled and recalled the days when they made the same boasts. A solemn look came ovr their faces as they realized the 1933 squad was much lighter than the last year’s team, and too, they hadn’t won a game. Coach was not down-hearted with the light-weight squad, but went right to work to mold a team out of that puny group. Night after night went by, and each night represented two and a half hours of hard work. Finally the first game of the season rolled around. It was with the alumni. The yell leader worked the rooters into a frenzy and then the game started. Whoopee! What a game! That little light-weight team took that game like nobody’s business. And so on through the season they continued. Game after game was in favor of the good old W. H. S. They lost only to Lassen and Sparks. TRACK Although the 1934 track team had the fight, they didn’t do so well as last year. At the Susanville meet our B’s took 2nd place, while the A’s placed third. Among the first places were the follow- ing: For the A’s, Atkins placed first in the mile. For the B’s, Bowden placed first in the 100 yard dash, Merrill placed first in the high jump, setting a new record of five feet seven inches. Orrin Hoffman placed first in the football throw, and Pappa took the low hurdles. At the N.C.H.S.A.L. meet at Chico we had three entries placing and we took third place in the meet. 28 BALL VARSITY Top Row: Bowden, Barry, Brown.

Mr. Mitchell is adjusting his camera while “Red” Barry swats a mosquito on his neck. Frank Prior digs his toe into the sod as though he were looking for worms. Dan Gatti is trying his best to stand on his hands, but is having no success. “Phil” Brown is giving a recital on Shakespeare, when all of a sudden Dick Miley comes running up panting like a steam engine. Coach emits a sigh of relief, they all fofm a line, give the varsity yell, the camera clicks, and here’s the result. Top: Curtice, Prior, Miley, Knudsen, Barry, Gatti. Bottom: Lauer, Lindersmith, Packard, Heinrich, Hernandez. BLOCK W” Soft sweet tones of melody floated over a carefree group of dancers. On the stage majestically towered the huge red-veneer Block “W” representing one of the most successful dances of the year. Yes, the good old Block “W witnessed some very amusing initiations on that most eventful evening. The president, “Red” Barry, led the club through a very success- ful year. 30 BALL B SQUAD Top Row: Curtice, Felion, Bowden, Merrill, Hunter, Yar- brough. Bottom: Welder, Haines, Haas, Pappa, Hylen.

They were the mighty champions of the interclass basketball games be- tween the various classes and won the banner for 1934! And what a bunch of “speedy” girls they are! Now there are Thelma Madrid and Grace Morford as forwards, and when they “shoot baskets” they stay shot. And there’s not a girl in Westwood High who can get away from the ever-watchful eyes of Lois Linn and Florence Miley, who are the guards. As for the centers they are not to be left out, for “Margie” Garnero and Ruth Hoxsey certainly know their game. VOLLEYBALL The year rolled on and we found all the girls batting balls over a net. They said they were playing “Volleyball.” Perhaps they meant trying to play! Well anyway the seniors did win the championship banner and “dat is sumpin.” BASEBALL Sock! Sock! Boy, these girls sure like their baseball. Just look at ’em! Duck there or you’re going to get hit by that home run. That ball was hit by one ofthe “Soph” girls. I guess that’s what won them first place in baseball. TENNIS CLUB This club was reorganized this year, under the supervision of Mrs. Opsahl, after its absence from extra-curricular activities for a number of years. A small number of boys and girls interested in this sport joined the club and as soon as weather permitted they were seen on the tennis courts playing. They say the boys can beat the girls, but isn’t that what they always say? Well—cheerio everybody. See you on the next page. 32 SPORTS BASKETBALL CHAMPS Top Row: Madrid, Miley, Mix.

Gee, just imagine, every girl in the high school belongs to the Girls’ Athletic Association. “Isn’t that ducky or don’t you think so?” The G. A. A. certainly should be congratulated as they gave the first successful dance of the season, which, by the way, was a Reverse Dance. Do these girls know their stuff! Well of course who wouldn’t with their leaders, Carrie Linn and Theresa Newton, who are president and vice president. But they aren’t the only pebbles on the G. A. A. beach. They still have Lois Linn (by the way, Lois is Carrie’s sister. Gee, these Linn sisters sure rate don’t they?) who is the secretary. And does Grace Morford know her job? She’s the treasurer. The athletic managers are Helen Gazarian, and Lois Cooper. And the different games such as basketball, baseball, volleyball and speedball are such a bother to them, but they fulfill their duties just the same. Aren’t they just grand? Don’t know what we would have done without them. We sure have to hand it to Florence Miley, the recorder. She could be seen recording points far into the night. And does Frances Fisher represent the Junior High Girls? What a Girl! The G. A. A. also sent girls to the Older Girls’ Conference held at Richardson Springs March 17 and 18. The girls who went must have a good time for they are still talking about it. They would. Those who attended the conference were, Helen Gazarian, Theresa Newton, Glenna Cashdollar, Alvera Timone, Carrie Linn, Mona Brown and Frances Fisher. Girls’ aw'ards were presented to a large number of G. A. A. members this year, many receiving the highest award, a Block “W”. Top Row: Cooper, Gazarian, Linn, Newton. Bottom: L. Linn Opsahl, Miley. 34 co cn And now, folks, the Chip- munk presents the winter’s collec- tion of nuts in the GREATER NUT CIRCUS. Is EVERYBODY happy? Sit right down, boys, and strike up the band. And until next year, good- bye ; and to you, seniors, God bless you, good fortune, always, and— oh well, so long. TM GREAT EH GOT CflBCUS S ! I NO1.
