Westwood High School - Chipmunk Yearbook (Westwood, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 40 of the 1939 volume:

I am a mountain high and bold. I reach into the sky And pluck from the upper cold Little cloudlets scudding by. I stretch for miles along the pla n And rise so far above the sea That all earthly things, in the main. Wonder at the height of me. At eventide I catch the light. The last rays of the sun. And multiply their hues to such a height— A fitting memory for the day that's done. A cataract foams down my side Murmuring little silly things Of brooks and cliffs and sunbeams that glide And dance on butterfly wings. Yes, I'm a mountain bold and true. I guard the land from fear and strife. I'm unchanging, yet ever new: I'm everlasting lifel —BETTY RUTH BALL.

JUNIORS The class of '40 started their year by electing an ambitious and reliable corps of officers to serve them through the year of '38 and '39. Go-getting Harry Benedict was elected president, while capable Richard Emerson, was elected vice-president. Doris Olson and Delbert Smith were respectively elected secretary and treasurer. The class then elected Roberta Lee and Doris Olson to the important posts of representing them in the Executive Committee. Miss Wilson was class adviser. And so, with sales, dances, and parties, the junior class advanced toward the summit of Junior Mountain, which was crowned with a glorious Prom and a grand picnic. 7 Top R_w: Stockholm, Gould.

We chose Harry Knecht as our leader and Bob Emerson as his assistant. Wilma Powers kept our finances and other valuable information that we were going to need. Miss Hogan was our adviser. On November 10, we won the singing trophy. In December we sponsored the Yule Swing, which turned out to be one of the best dances of the year. We were getting tired of climbing by January, but our yell leader, Imogene Russell, and Janis Jones, our song leader, saw to it that we didn't lose our pep. 8 Top Row: Granrud, McDonald E.

FRESHMEN The class of 42 started off their Freshman year by electing Alvenor Silva, president; Russell Wilkie, vice-president; Jeanne Britton, secretary and treasurer; Marjorie King, song leader; and James Maroney, yell leader. They had many sales and they all turned out successfully. They increased their treas- ury considerably. The Freshmen had many parties including their first night party which was held Jan- uary 13. They had a swimming party which was held at the Susanville pool, October 26. Under the guidance of Mr. Bratton, their adviser, the Freshman class concluded their junior high school year and are ready for Senior High. 9 Top Row: Shields. Compton. Merrill. Seely. Silva. Olson.

EIGHTH GRADE With the top of the mountain as their destination, the class of 43 elected efficient leaders. The president, Kathleen Miller, led the way successfully. Wallace Shultz assisted in keeping on the right trail. Marilyn Pappa kept the records of their climb up-to-date. Norma Conley and Fred Funk cooperated by leading the singing and yelling. Mr. Has- kell, adviser, helped the group along on the climb. Although the eighth grade did not have very many sales this year, they plan on having more next year. The outstanding social event of this class was a party held at the beginning of the second semester. 10 Top Row: Headly. Wilson Bachicha. Hix, Wiliiams. Coronado, Maltby, Jeffries, Perez, Abila.

To keep up class spirit, Colleen Howery and Roland Campos were chosen respectively as song and yell leader. Miss Sherman was the adviser of the journey. During the first part of the climb, this class won two prizes, one for selling the most annuals in the junior high, and the other for leading the eighth and ninth grades in Stu- dent Body card sales. Besides parties held in each of the basic courses, a big get-to- gether, in the form of a picnic, was enjoyed the second semester.

The band made several appearances, giving four concerts and playing at many of the games and assemblies. The full band consisted of fifty pieces, while the pep band numbered only nineteen. A small concert band and the German Band, or Hungry Five, entertained at many school assemblies, concerts, and for the P. T. A. members. In October the band gave a benefit concert, the proceeds of which enabled the band to travel to Alturas for the football game between Alturas and Westwood, and to Susan ville for the Big Game on Armistice Day. A free concert was given by the band at the town auditorium in February. April 20 was the date of a concert given to help finance the band trip to Chico for the music festival. Band letters were given for the first time to those members who had played in the band for two years and who had attended all of the regular band meetings. 13 STUDENT CONTROL Top Row: Wilson.

STUDENT CONTROL The Student Control efficiently fulfi'led its duties during its fifth year of ex.stence under the supervision of Mr. Cox. Morris Markee was president for the first semester. This year the student control consisted of twenty-five members. The duties of the members were to maintain order in the halls, during assemblies, and at all types of school functions. Some of the general rules this group has drawn up for the betterment of the school are: penalties for skipping assemblies, disregarding school property, wrestling in the halls, the use of profanity, untidiness, unnecessary shouting or in any way causing the discomfort of the faculty or students. PRESIDENT BOB BARTA VICE-PRESIDENT ... CLAYTON NEWMAN SECRETARY ....... . DORIS OLSON TRI-Y The Tri-Y held its meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The meetings on the second Wednesdays were held at school where members transacted iheir business. On the fourth Wednesdays the girls relaxed at a party at someone's home or at the school auditorium. During the year the Tri-Y sponsored the Big and Little Sister movement. The gins in senior high were given a girl in junior high to guide and help during the coming year. The members gave Christmas presents to some of the poor children in the com- munity. Seven chosen members of the club attended the Richardson Springs Conference for Older Girls.

The Royal Order of Homemakers met on the first and third Friday noons this year. The club which is limited to thirty members, sponsored many sales, a Sweetheart Dance, and a dinner in 1938-39. Seventeen of the members attended the annual convention on April 15, at Chico. A point system is used in connection with the rewarding of R. O. H. pins. Credit is given for such things as being an officer, serving on committees, and good attendance. This year all of the girls have earned their pins under this system.

This was the largest turnout in the history of Westwood High School and gave Coach Maxey a big headache trying to pick out a first eleven. At the end of the season the Lumberjacks had made a name for themselves as you can see by reading the following news accounts of the 38 Grid season results: Chico, Calif., Sept. 24.—Westwood's untried grid machine rolled down from the mountains today and rang up a 12-6 victory over the Chico B's. Dunsmuir, Calif., Oct. I.—The hard playing Lumberjacks from Westwood held the Dunsmuir Tigers to a 12-12 tie today, despite the loss of Johnson, Knecht and D. Gian- nini through injuries received in the Chico game. Westwood, Calif., Oct. 8.—The Braves from Alturas struck a heavy blow when they beat the Lumberjacks 13-7 on the Westwood gridiron today. Goodridge, halfback, scored Westwood's only touchdown on a trick reverse. He ran seventy yards to score. Westwood, Calif., Oct. 14.—The Lumberjack reserves met the Grizzly reserves on the home field this afternoon and fought a scoreless game. Alturas, Calif., Oct. 22.—Westwood pounded out a hard fought victory over the Braves here today. The score was, Lumberjacks, 6: Modoc. 0. The only touchdown came when K. Merrill intercepted a pass and ran ninety-seven yards behind interference to win the first league game of the year. Susanville, Calif., Oct. 24.—Today the Westwood reserves smeared the Lassen reserves on the Lassen gridiron, winning a I 3-0 victory. Westwood, Calif., Oct. 29.—The Lumberjack Alumni played the high school this morning at 10 o'clock and won 6-0. It rained. Orland, Calif., Nov. 4.—The Westwood-Orland night game which was to be played here tonight is to be cancelled because of rain. Susanville, Calif., Nov. II.—Westwood's big upset came today when the Lassen grid machine crashed through to score 20 points to Westwood's 7. Jackson made West- wood's only score. Playing for the last time against their bitterest rivals were the following seniors: K. Goodridge and Ed Gazarian, halfbacks: Jackson, quarter: Doering and Johnson, ends: and Prusia and Moe, tackles. Others who played and will have their chance for revenge next year are: Wilkie, fullback: Benedict, quarter: Knecht and Silva, halfs; B. and D. Giannini, ends: Wilson, Creighton, tackles: Chatoian and Emerson, guards: Merrill or B. Emerson, center. Others who went out for the first time this year may somewhat change this line-up. 21 —— A TEAM Cooley Wooden Emerson Newman Sicbc Goodridqc Gazarian Anderson Merrill B TEAM Top Row Schneringer Smith Becker Knecht Silva Bottom Row Benedict Clester Newman Merrill Perry Emerson C TEAM Top Row Williams Smith Hopkins Simmons Seipert Boles Haas Bottom Row Coach Frost Vernon Vierra Jarrard Durkee Tipton Maroney D TEAM Boles West Johnson Hibbs Falletti Durkee BASKETBALL The A team started the season with a mental handicap. It was thought that they didn't have much on the ball, but as the season progressed it was easy to see that the team was one of the best in the school. Taking Greenville in the first two games of the year showed that perhaps the A's might have a chance at the cup. They defeated Alturas and the A. F. of L. teams. In eleven games the A team was beaten in only three, Red Bluff and Lassen being the only schools to do it. The A s lose Gazarian, Siebe, Sim- mons, and Goodridge, but their positions will be well filled next year. Winning nine of the eleven tilts, the B team proved that it was right at the top when it comes to basketball. The only two games they lost were to Lassen, which were both very close contests. The first game score was Westwood, 12; Lassen, 17; the sec- ond was Westwood, 17; Lassen, 19. As these games were league games, it thereby gave the Lassen B's the league championship. The B team will only lose four players— Merrill, Neal, Becker and Perry, whose places will be aptly filled by the flashes from the C Team. Winning the only championship of the school, the C's showed that they were the best team in W. H. S. Having such dead-eyes as Tipton, Durkee, Jarrard, Maroney and Vernon, the C's couldn't lose. Reaching their defensive peak in the last game with Lassen, which won them the championship, showed that they were not merely an offen- sive ball club. The C's won the first game very easily. The second game was the thriller of the evening. It was won by Lassen in an overtime period, I 1-9. The third game was tied twice in the last minute of the fourth quarter, but the C's turned on the heat and won 10-8. Although the D team didn't win any games, they were in there fighting all of the time. The D's played five games, two each with Greenville and Susanville, and one with the eighth grade. The seventh and eighth grades didn't start their season until after Christmas, but when they did it showed that future teams will be very good. The seventh and eighth grade seconds won their only game with Susanville, 27-4. The seventh and eighth grade firsts lost because of the superior height of their opponents, the scores being seventh, 9; Susanville Grammar School, 31. Against the Lassen D team the eighth grade won 14-11. 23 V'- v i I ,VHW Top Row: R. Emerson Benedict, Wooden, Giannini. D. Giannini, Jackson, Wilkie. Becker, Knecht, Merrill.

BASEBALL The baseball team this year showed a flash and zip which held the spectators' interest throughout every game. Although handicapped by lack of pitchers, the W.H.S. team showed surprising strength in actual competition. Returning from last year's squad were: Goodridge, Doering and Becker, outfielders; Clayton Newman, Miller, Benedict, Stoll, and Prusia, infielders. Newcomers included: Martinez, Boardman, Craig. Boles, Vierra, Creighton, Ott, and Granrud. Included in the schedule were two games with Lassen High, two with Lassen J. C., one with Los Molinos, and Reno High School. TENNIS Tennis entered the list of interschool sports this year for the second time, and Oscar Johnson, Bill Simmons, Joe Perry, Bob Neal, Francis Brown, ranking Lumberjack net men, and Lorraine Miley, Mary Wilcox, Marilyn Bergstrom, Betty Pinkham, and Betty Ricks, outstanding girl players, showed that Westwood can have a good team. The boys met the Lassen team twice, winning one match and losing one. The boys sub-league finals were played here on the rebuilt courts, May I 3. This was made possible through the efforts of Coach Lund, B. Simmons, O. Johnson, E. Gazarian, and F. Brown. 25 KILPATRIC SONS MEATS GROCERIES FRESH FRUITS VEGETABLES 26 For a Lovely BENNETT'S, INC.
