HIPMUNK VOLUME XXV Published by Associated Students of Westwood fi'ujlt School EDITOR ............ BUSINESS MANAGER DORIS MOREY WANDA KEITH Dedication Because of their unending work in inspiring our school with music cr so many occasions, we, the students of Westwood High School, with deepest appreciation dedicate this book to Mr. Smith and the Band. eme Because in its dominance at all school functions it has never failed to keep alive the sportsmanship which has made every occasion a priceless treasure in our memories to be carried with us through the years to come, it is only fitting and proper that School Spirit be the theme of this book. Cjec e tt. Cjexje'i PRINCIPAL FIRST SEMESTER The past ten years have seen many young people pass through the doors of the Westwood Junior-Senior High School. Some have wandered through their years here with little or no purpose. Others, urged on toward the high goals so characteristic of all normal young people, have worked faithfully and with a real spirit of service to make our school a better place in which to live and work. Each year has seen some increase in the numbers in this latter group. As a result, each year has seen an increase in the number of worthwhile activities sponsored by and for our school community. I consider it a high privilege to have been able to work wth a community of students and teachers as fine and as genuinely wholesome as is found in Westwood. I feel fully confident that the future progress of this school as an institution dedicated to the improvement of human values will be such as will continue to make me proud that I was once privileged to have been associated with you all. George H. Geyer Superintendent and Principal First Semester £ytualt iTlitcLell PRINCIPAL SECOND SEMESTER Parents, Board, faculty, students, and alumni here have had a history of harmonious cooperation. This good school spirit ought to continue. Students must know that it is normal, not exceptional, for young people of their age to have problems, truly great decisions and adjustments that must be made hon- estly. We and your parents all want to help. Let us continue to have confidence and faith in each other, and talk things over with basic course teachers, who are the most important advisers in school, and with any and all of us in whom you have confidence. Remember: parents, faculty—all of us, are here to help each other.

It's not the pep of the pepper box, Nor the pep of the popcorn popper. It's the Westwood pep, The high school pep, The pep that you can't down. SEVEN LUELLA ADAMS All sports I, 2. 3. 4; R.O.H.

D. With Harry Benedict as its leader and Mrs. Huggins as its adviser the class made an outstanding debut and started on its career. Changing to rompers in 1935, the class elected Darrel Wilson for its president and under his direction it began soaring into school activities. As the rompers wore out, the class changed to coveralls. Betty Ricks swung the gavel. The class had its first night party, and the girls gave future jitterbugs their first lessons in rug-cutting. As time marched on, the coveralls gave way to knee pants and skirts. Don Prusia led the class on through spirited high school life. The class gave its first gayly decor- ated dance this year, 1937. In their junior year, Harry Benedict joined the class forces with the seniors in the annual Junior-Senior Picnic and Prom. In their last year in old W. H. S., Clayton Newman ruled over sixty-nine cultivated young men and women, ready now to go forward, and prepared to meet many prob- lems as they go out into the world.

Why don't you know, that is the class of nineteen hundred and forty-one. And let me tell you it is one of the up-and-coming classes of the school. For two years now that class has won the singing trophy. Their president is that red flash you see running around the halls so much, Harry Knecht, and his understudy, vice-president, is Elwood Vierra. The class secretary and treasurer is Lucille McKee. The class spirit is kept up by Marilyn Bergstrom as song leader, and a double act of yell leaders, Imogene Russell and Tommie Tipton. That class has really got the cooperation and spirit and headed in the right direction to slice the cake of school spirit. Miss Lyon is adviser. FOURTEEN emoles The class of nineteen hundred and forty-two, just another one of those small classes with only eighty members! Jeff Cooley swings a wicked gavel as president. When Jeff isn't present Otis Hibbs takes charge. Alfred West takes the minutes and keeps track of tne class pennies. Henry Elam leads the class in yells and Marjorie King the class in songs. Miss Gaffney is the class adviser and under her direction the class gave their first dance. By sponsoring a show and various sales they certainly started off right. With the record they've made for themselves in spirit and enthusiasm in school, surely we are all going to hear from them in the next two years. • Top row: Pointer, Boothe. White. Silvo.

This class is really Susie- Q-ing to town' under the leadership of their president, Robert Yanger and adviser, Mr. Haskell. The other officers were vice-president, Jack Connelly; secretary and treasurer, Dorothy Plaetke; yell leader, Kenneth Silva; song leader, Norma Conley. With various parties and sales the class is swinging up into good position in school zest. Swinging, shaggin' on down the floor, the class of 1943 have really cut the rug of school spirit. SIXTEEN £i(jbtli Cj iac)e Heavenly days but this old high school is jest a-springin' along. These eighth graders are certainly industrious. Deary me! Did they have a Hallowe en Party Just ask them! They even dressed in costumes. Pa-lese don't think Mr. Allen, the adviser, is the only one to spur them on. Oh, no; the song leader Fama Cowan and the yell leader, Robert Morey, lead them in plenty of pep. What other officers do they have? I s’pose you’d like to know who they are. Well, all right—president, Jimmie Allen; vice-president, Helen Barbour; secretary and treasurer, Colleen Howery. Dorothy Linn was Ex-Committee representative. • Top row: Gamble J.

Sixty-five strong. We've only been here a short time but you just watch our speed. Why, with Vernon Simmons as our president, Charles Morton as our vice-president, Billy Whitaker as our treasurer, Buddie Lance our secre- tary, Billy Foster, yell leader, we are clinging tightly to the rungs on the ladder of school spirit. Miss Blocher is our class adviser and so far under her excellent guidance for sales, our class treasury has begun to add up. And with parties we've already rung the bell of school spirit.

Student @oc) j Ojjjjicete A wave of silence sweeps over the assembly as President Francis vigorously wields the gavel. A close look will reveal Richie standing by in case a sudden fainting spell seizes Franny or he becomes tongue-tied, or something. Roberta steps forward and reads her minutes of the preceding meeting. Harry gives the report of the school’s credits and debts. Marilyn, in her red skirt and black sweater, swishes the students through a snappy song. Alvenor pushes and pulls a noisy yell from the scholastic vocal chords. Skits, various reports, maybe a quiz program or a movie complete this typical assembly, planned and executed by this year's fine staff of student body officers. LaVerne Cartwright did outstanding work in putting over the card sales and other student body activities. Mary Jean Patterson and Ellis Rose, publicity manager and athletic manager, respectively, kept the school in the limelight and sports under con- trol. Joaquin Martinez did a splendid job as assistant publicity manager. For this hard working group, one of the high spots of the year was the Student Leaders’ Conference held at Marysville, March 24. At this gathering Westwood stood out brightly among the twenty other schools present. The efficient leaders have, by their untiring efforts, brought this school through another successful year. This has been really appreciated by the students and faculty of Westwood High School. TWENTY-TWO % The Executive Committee organized for the purpose of handling the Student Body s business and to help solve the problems of the Student Body was very efficient and helpful this year. Besides the student body officers and managers, the committee included the fol- lowing representatives: Doris Olson and Harry Benedict, seniors; Bob Emerson, junior; Dino Giannini, sophomore; Glenn Wall, freshman; Dorothy Linn, eighth grade; Billy Foster, seventh grade. Student Body Card Sales netted approximately $450. The Executive Committee budgeted this money among various Student Body activities. The high standard set up by the Executive Committee is a standard hard to sur- pass and one we hope will continue in years to come. • Standing: Wall. R. Emerson, Patterson, Cartwright, B. Emerson.

With Mr. Cox as adviser the sixth anniversary of the Student Control ran along very smoothly. At the end of the first semester, however, Mr. Cox, receiving the duties of vice-principal, could no longer be with them. Although the Control missed him very much, another very capable adviser, Mr. Bratton, took his place to aid the group throughout the remaining semester. GAVEL WIELDER Harry Benedict did an excellent job as president, while the other officers holding down their posts equally well were, vice-president, Lee Wooden and secretary, Lorraine Miley. BLUE MONDAY The procedure of the regular Monday-after-school meetings was changed the second semester, and they were conducted as a regular civil court. This made the president, prosecuting attorney; the vice-president, bailiff; and the secretary, court recorder. This new procedure proved very effective and it will be carried on in years to come. TWENTY-FOUR (Jnnual Doris Morey, capable editor-in-chief of this year's Chipmunk, under the watchful eye of Mr. Allen, has done her utmost to make this a book not soon to be forgotten. Assisting her were Wanda Keith, business manager; Mildred Siebe, senior editor; Don Prusia, classes and faculty editor; Tommie Tipton, sports editor; Betty Ruth Ball, activities editor; Frances Brown, snapshot editor; with Lee Wooden doing the calendar. Delbert Smith and Marjorie King did fine work as assistant business managers. Others who helped with write-ups or picture mounting were: John King, Gertrude Wunderlich, Dorothy Taylor, Ardis Tunison, Alicia Rivera, Mary Jane Garcia, Dorothy Read, Janis Jones, Eddie Chatoian, Jean McKeown, Barbara Tunison, and Jeanne Nelson. At the beginning of the year a food sale was held at the store to help raise money for the yearbook. In October a dance, with autumn as the theme, was held to adver- tise and boost Chipmunk sales. April 18, 19, and 20, eight members of the staff attended the Press Convention held at Berkeley. Many new ideas in publication and journalism were brought back by the delegates. It is the sincere wish of every member of the staff that this annual of annuals will be a ray of sunshine on the years to come. We hope when you grow too old and gray to dream, as you thumb through these yellowed pages the gay and carefree days of your life as a student will return to dwell with you. • Top row: Wooden, J.

The purpose of the Hi-Y is to Create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Their motto is Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship and clean mind. The Hi-Y held joint meetings with the Tri-Y for the purpose of discussing various problems of high school youth. Meetings were held every Tuesday evening from seven-thirty to nine. On December second and third many of the boys motored to Chico with Mr. Bratton to attend the conference which offered the boys a rare opportunity to get together with several hundred others under the guidance of Christian leaders, to study training methods for leadership. At this conference Bob Creighton was elected presi- dent of the convention for 1940. lU'lf Meeting come to order, is the command of the president, Doris Morey, which is scarcely heard in the lively joyful voices of the Tri-Y girls. The end of another eventful year has come, and the girls feel like they have ac- complished something as they review the minutes that Luella Adams has taken down. Remember our social meetings twice a month, with discussions, games and refresh- ments, especially when the Hi-Y and Tri-Y met together? And the pot luck supper February 20, when we invited the Susanville Tri-Y girls? Yes, but the time I felt the most foolish was when we were initiated and had to wear black stockings and a big green ribbon to school for two days. The most eventful day was when we met at Richardson Springs, April 6 and 7, with other girls and discussed our different problems. One of the best remembered events was the club's aid to the unfortunate children at Christmas time. They repaired old toys and made it seem like a really happy Christmas day for them. But the event none of us have forgotten or will forget was the mothers' and daughters banquet held near Mother's Day. TWENTY-SEVEN 1. Ouch, my tummy! 2. Beachcombers 3. Kross Kountry King 4.

This year the new caps have helped satisfy the vanity of fifty-two musical-minded members. The librarian, Paul Grainger, looking back over the past activities, finds a number of outstanding events. Good examples are the Christmas concert, Free Winter con- cert, on February 15, and the Open Air concert on May 23. Probably the best con- cert this year was the Spring concert on April 23. This included a review of Stephen Foster's Melodies and popular songs by the orchestra and choral club. Majorette. Led by the prancing majorette, Marba Spencer, the band marched in Susanville on November I I, and also at the Alturas football game. The most exciting event we look forward to every year is the Music Festival in Chico, which turned out to be a great experience this year. Do, re, mi. The choral club and concert orchestra have done a very good job of singing and playing at the Christmas concert, at P.-T. A. meetings, Study Club, and other clubs in town. Serenades.

The R.O.H. conference held yearly at Chico for the affiliated Home Economics clubs from the different schools of Northern California was postponed because of weather conditions. The club gathered and made over oid toys for unfortunate children at Christ- mas time. A dinner was given in honor of the R.O.H. girls of Susanville in February.

DEVELOP This being John King's second year as president, he did an excellent job, with Ellis Rose as his assistant. Barbara Tunison kept up the minutes and an account of the money. Mr. Allen, adviser, helped to make this an enjoyable year. PRINT Several new darkroom materials were purchased during the year and they were of much use to the many students who used the darkroom. MOUNT The annual camera club snap-shot contest was held in December and January. Many good snaps were entered in this contest and used in the yearbook. Ellis Rose, Francis Brown, and Lee Wooden won the forty-two bars of candy offered as prizes. THIRTY-THREE Cjihis QtLletic Qsscciaticn The Girls' Athletic Association held its meetings on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 8:30 in the morning. The girls celebrated Leap Year by sponsoring a Vice-Versa Valentine Dance. Most of them brought their beaus and jitterbugged to the high school orchestra's music. They created great interest in minor sports by giving additional points to the girls that participated in badminton, shuffleboard and ping pong. This year, the juniors won the interclass basketball championship. For the first time the girls held two play days this year, one at Westwood, March second, and the other at Susanville in May. The G.A.A. officers were: Bette Boshoff, president; Mildred Siebe, vice-president; Lucille McKee, secretary; Rhoda Silverthorn, treasurer; Doris Olson, recorder; Lor- raine Miley, minor sports manager; Kathleen Miller, ninth grade representative; adviser, Miss Lyon. Something new this year was the Junior G.A.A. for seventh and eighth grades. They held their meetings separately. Their officers: Jean Hammerstrom, president; Lois Nuss, vice-president; Lily Coxen, secretary; Ardis Welch, seventh grade repre- sentative; adviser, Miss Bromley. • Top row: Olson, Tower, Siebe • Bottom row: Silverthorn, McKee, Miller.

The Block W has two initiations a year, one held after football and the other after basketball season. Boys were put through a gruesome ordeal and a rally of spats. A formal initiation followed. With Coach Maxey as their boss the Block W managed to have all sales at basketball games held here. Their treasury has been built up on pop and hot dogs. The school dance which was sponsored by them also helped a lot. Well! Well! What are the girls starting now? Why, it's a girls' Block W ! They organized this spring and elected Doris Olson, president; Rhoda Silverthorn, vice- president; and Mary Wilcox, secretary and treasurer. • Standing: Silverthorn, Jeffries, Russell, Duer, Lyon, Morey, McKee.

The first play, given in October, was a one act play entitled 'If Men Played Cards as Women Do. The cast included Francis Brown, Harry Benedict, LaVerne Cart- wright and Richard Mix. The student director was Janis Jones. This comedy almost rolled the student body in the aisles. The next drama was a one act Christmas play, Why the Chimes Rang. The leading characters were Lambert Shanks, Billy Neipoth, Harry Benedict, and Dorothy Taylor. The play closed with a most impressive pageant in which all basic groups carried Christmas boxes to the stage. Francis Brown was assistant director. The most outstanding performance of the year was a three-act mystery, The Bat. In the cast were Janis Jones, Dorothy Taylor, Delbert Smith, Francis Brown, Ardis Tunison, LaVerne Cartwright, Harry Benedict, Elwin Carroll, Raymond LaBay and Richard Mix. This mystery had the audiences' hair standing on end. The killer was disclosed as the fake detective, H. B. THIRTY-SIX QtLletics Go into the game Westwood Hi, And we’ll fight 'til the last foe is vanquished, The colors so bright keep in sight, And the victory will soon be ours. Each one on the team nobly fights, And the school as a whole is behind them. Go into the game Westwood Hi, Oh, Westwood Hi, Oh, Westwood Hi, Fight on forever! The University of Southern California was called The Thundering Herd, and this title would undoubtedly be the name to pin on the Lumberjacks' 1939 grid machine. Tackling a six-game schedule, the Lumberjack eleven came out on top in three battles, were conquered twice by opponents, fought to a tie in an early season com- bat, and were winners of the Modoc-Lassen County League. YREKA. Sept. 30—Costly penalties and fumbles proved too much for the Lumber- jacks tonight when they lost their season's opener to Yreka, 13 to 0. Chatoian and Creighton starred in the line while Knecht and Silva shared honors in the backfield. STEWART, Oct. 6—The Red and Black gridmen fought the Stewart Indians to a 6 to 6 tie in their second game of the 1939 season here today. OR LAND, Oct. 13—The Lumberjacks showed no mercy tonight as they won their first victory of the 1939 season from the Trojans of Orland, 25 to 12. Silva's punting was a feature of the game. ALTURAS, Oct. 21—Held for three periods to a scoreless tie by the Braves of Modoc, the Lumberjacks unleashed a fourth quarter ground attack and won their first league victory, 7 to 0. Clayton Newman starred. SUSANVILLE, Oct. 27—Six man football was today inaugurated in Lassen County by the two teams of Lassen and Westwood. The Lumberjack reserves battled on even terms in a preliminary contest to gain a nothing to nothing tie, while the Red and Black regulars dropped an exciting game to the Grizzlies, 19 to 6. RENO, Nov. 4—Although striking back with a deadly passing attack in the fourth period, the Lumberjacks fell before a powerful Reno High eleven today, 14 to 0. Wilkie's passing sparked the Lumberjack eleven in the final minute’s drive. SUSANVILLE, Nov. I I—Westwood's destructive grid machine today rolled over the Grizzlies of Lassen, crushing the county seat eleven, 26 to 0, in the seventeenth annual Armistic Day grid battle. In a preliminary contest Westwood's six man team dropped their final game of the season to Lassen, 24 to 12. The following seniors will be lost to the Westwood eleven for the 1940 season: Lee Wooden, Eddie Chatoian, Russell Newman, Darrell Wilson, Vendal Wilkie, Harry Benedict, Richard Emerson, Virgil Graig, Oscar Olson, Clayton Newman, and Pier- son Miller. • Top row: B.

Hoobdels With Coach Maxey again at the helm and three regulars returning, as well as a wealth of material coming up, the varsity looked to be the most promising outfit in Westwood High. Although always playing a smooth, clean brand of ball the locals had to take it on the chin as well as being the talk of the town. They dropped exciting contests to Greenville, Modoc, a pair to Lassen High, Chico High, and took a double drubbing from Lassen J. C. They were victorious over Redding, Red Bluff, Lassen High, and the Chico State Freshmen. Russell Newman led the varsity, scoring with 51 points. Westwood's B team, with the smallest turnout in years, made up in fight what they lacked in numbers and were champions in their division by virtue of their twin victories over Lassen. They won important contests from Greenville and Lassen, and were edged out by Chico, Redding, Red Bluff, and Modoc. Seipert was the B's lead- ing point-getter with 55 points. FORTY Q anc) T) ttoopstete The C's for the past five seasons have been the outstanding five in Westwood High. With Bob Frost coaching, the Lumberjacks walked over Lassen in two battles and won the championship in their division. The C's won from Greenville, Chico, Red Bluff, Lassen, Modoc, and were battered only once, that being by Redding. Tipton was the C's leading scorer with 84 points. The D's, although playing only three contests, were the talk of Westwood High. With such stars as Swede' Olson, John Martin, Seely, Zoller, and Boles leading the way, the midgets just couldn't lose. They scored a pair of wins over Lassen and edged out Greenville. Swede Olson led the scorers with 22 points. Much credit should be given to the 7th and 8th grade casaba outfits. They wore the Red and Black colors in two games against the Roosevelt Grammar school of Susanville, and played several preliminaries. • C Team standing: Vernon, Foster, Tipton. Boothe.

Humie aclz Oindelclads An old act with a familiar plot was reenacted at the opening of this year s track season. Mother Nature seemed angry at this year s track congregation, because she sent snow and rain from the clouds persistently causing our talented tracksters to go into their yearly routine of running to Clear Creek to get in condition. The Lumberjack tracksters looked forward to an eventful season with such veteran performers as Knecht, Silva, R. Emerson, Chatoian, B. Emerson and Wilkie returning from last year’s championship teams. Following is the track schedule for the 1940 season.

With such veteran performers as Russell Newman, Bob Boles, Joaquin Martinez, and Clayton Newman returning, prospects were bright for a winning team for the 1940 season. Rookie sluggers who turned out for their initial time and showed promise were: Kenneth Parisot, Clarence Vernon, Allen Gentry, Tommie Foster, Jim Greenman. John Martin, Vernon McVey, Ken Hendrickson, LaVerne Craig. Westwood's varsity nine had home and home' games scheduled with Greenville, Lassen, and Quincy. • Top row: Gentry, Rose.

They met the strong Lassen team on April li. The Lassen racket swingers took four out of six single matches, one doubles match, and lost one doubles match to the home team. At a second meeting the Lassen team took five out of seven singles and the only doubles match of the day. The girls’ tennis team made rapid progress by playing many out of town teams, repeatedly holding their own. Teams were chosen from the first five names on the ladder. The manager of the team was ladder climber Lorraine Miley. Miss Gaffney was official adviser and schedule getter-upper. Boys’ and girls' teams scheduled games with Red Bluff, Greenville, Quincy, Oro- ville, and Chico. FORTY-FOUR £ylalont and Down iTlountain Flashing through three big meets, the Red and Black ski team members established themselves as the second best skiers in the state this year. The first meet held at Christie Hill, February 24, was sponsored by the 20-30 Club of Westwood. Portola won the meet with the Westwood boys a close second. The Lumberjacks entered the Cisco State meet March 9 with the spirit of winning, but Portola again won, with Westwood placing second. In the third and final meet held at Mammoth Mountain and sponsored by Bishop High School, March 28 and 29, the Westwood ski team lacked 26 seconds of winning the meet. Portola as usual was the winner, taking 293 points to the Lumberpacks' 288. This meet was a C.I.F. invitational. Don Brand, Gordon Gould, and Kenneth Eggleston were the outstanding skiers for W.H.S. this season. The other two boys who showed good skill were Henry Elam and Harry Benedict. Elam and Benedict were laid up with injuries the first of the season, which kept them from practicing. With our team practicing and training under Harvey, Phil, and Dick Brown, the Lumberjacks are sure to have a winning team next year,’ says Mr. Haskell, ski coach. F. Davidson, Gould, P.
