BEFORE THE ADVENT OF WHAT IS NOW YUHS, YUMA'S FIRST HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAD THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCE OF ATTENDING CLASSES IN THE FORMER TERRITORIAL PRISON. ... I I P E. I71 ABOVE IS A SECTION OF WHAT USED TO BE THE MOST DREADED PRISON WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI. A COLORFUL TRADITION-YUH Vxfl-llCH WAY? ln the year l909 when Yuma Taxpayers voted to organize a union High School district, the north half of the old Main Street school located near the northwest corner of Main and Third Streets served the first students with two classrooms and a library lwhich was also an officel. The faculty was comprised of four teachers. In those days, track, baseball, tennis, and girls' basketball comprised the students' sports. Also, according to old records students gave readings at home entertainments, went boating, and captured deer and bears in Mexico and the valley. ln l9lO the first class, twelve seniors, was graduated. By that time growth of enroll- ment had increased until operation of the high school was seriously impaired by lack of classrooms and other facilities. The present main building was completed in l9l 3 and the auditorium and gymnasium buildings in l929. In 1930 steam heat was provided for the main buildings. Between i933 and 1936 a fleet of seven school-owned busses gradually was purchased and placed in operation. Shaded stone bleachers and concrete tennis courts were built in l935. ln l936 cafeteria equip- ment was moved to the main building, and the old stage on the second floor was removed to provide additional classrooms. The library was installed in the study hall, where it grows in size and usefulness. E91 The old prison buildings housed the school in its second, third and fourth years. Stu- dents thought the buildings, cool, quiet, and isolated. Vocational instructions then ran chiefly toward the clerical vein. Mention is given to a high school library, a sewing room, and laboratory sinks. On November 3, 191 l, a constitution was voted upon and adopted. Thereafter the seventh period of each Friday was given to student body members for meetings, which were half business in nature, half literary or musical. SN l DER HALL-WAR Tl ME. l9J V5g,'E,,,f,.l irsr g - y... g A Q! , . 5, ' r , A K' K-J Athletic contests were confined to entrants within the high school. An early annual however, states that, one game of baseball with Imperial high school was played in lmperial by the boys. Association football was played on the hill in winter. A tennis association of thirty members was organized in November, l9l l, and tourn- aments were played against Bard Experiment Station and against Reclamation Headquar- ters. lt was during these years at the abandoned Territorial penitentiary that high school athletic teams, having no other popular name, were dubbed Criminals by opposing teams. E101 In l9l3 a Yuma team journeyed to Phoenix, scored our first football victory against the Coyotes and were called Criminals by irate Phoenicians. It was a fighting word with the Yuma boys then, but at the commencement of l9l7 the first commencement conducted by students on the old sand-lot athletic field, the Criminals officially adopted their present name. At a later date students prominent in extra-curricular activities formed a Warden's club: and when the sandy football field was paved, firm adobe from penitentiary walls was used. ln a sense the Criminals regained part of their early home. In l9l2, Interesting games of girls' basketball were played between freshmen, and upper classmen at the old Prison site. but the boys kicked the ball over the wall and it disappeared -perhaps into the untamed Colorado below.

S'all right though. ln three or four years, you won't know the differ- ence. But right now, things are a little tough, we upperclassmen ad- mit. Here are two typicals -loanie and Ned. To ask an upperclassman where a certain room was was about as bright as pulling a skunk's tail. For instance - the hapless frosh might be asked to go through the mezza- nine, take the elevator to the sixth floor and ask the doorman on the right. Favorite hangouts of frosh are the darker corners and Speedway , the basement hall f o the main building. E141 SEPTEMBER 16th, THEY LEARN TO TAKE IT Tirnid frosh, new to high school ways, soon learned a rougher technique by partici- pating in upperclass brawls during the noon hours and before school. Cirls prefer to sit and watch until the party gets rough. All in all, those first few weeks in high school leave an indelible stamp on every students memory. They are not to be taken lightly. Below is a typical noon hour scene. Those on top are lucky. The ones on the bottom are probably underclassmen. Initiation of clubs also furnished many a noon hour's enter- tainment. Teachers used the sidewalks for the sake of safety. Everything's new to the freshman and therefore a heap of fun. lt's hot when he comes to school in September but he doesn't mind that because he can go swimming during his physical ed period and the hot days, he sometimes gets out earlier because the scohol runs on the hotfweather schedule, dismissing at 2 o'clock. That freshman - he'll probably have a better time his first year than any year in school just because he's getting on to something entirely new.

September 19, 1941 Yuma 6 - Phoenix 37 Yuma's Criminals got off to a bad start in their first game of the l94l season when the Phoenix high Coyotes rolled over them at ease. The locals stood up fairly well in the first half but collapsed in the second. All through the game, the Crims, a green team, were handi- capped by fumbling and lack of any consistent at- tack - which was under- standable since Coach Armstrong started the year with only three let- termen. I201 SEPTEMBER 22nd, BUSY SECRETARY The harbor of lost souls during those first few trying weeks was the office, supervised by the secretary to the principal Miss Vera Clymer. She gives an habitual smile and keeps everything in apple pie order - a job that is a challenge to the most experienced stenographer. so l I21l 24 HOURS A DAY- UNSUNG HEROINE Probably the most frequent listener to any tale of woe that might entitle the giver to an excused tardy slip, is Mrs. May Doan -- one of the most beloved and remembered characters of YUHS life. She still receives mail from all parts of the world from stu- dents formerly of YUHS. She can be counted on to lend a sympathetic ear to almost any story .... and gets it! ! SEPTEMBER 22th TIL scHooL is our A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CO-ED Grace Woods is a typical YUHS co-ed. Her days go by much the same - the routine of attending YUHS. She studies her lessons each night before going to bed unless it's a week-end night or there's something special like a date or a school affair or a show. After a session with her books, she turns in fairly early - around lO o'clock and sleeps soundly until the next morning. Mindful of health rules and desirous of that smile that wows 'em, C-race's first task in the morning is brushing her teeth. ln her house-coat she goes through the routine regularly. She almost choked on toothpaste when posing for this picture. I221 IS THE ROUTINE OF SCHOOL DAYS Grace's second task each morning is combing her hair. Her hair is blond, long, and requires some time and care. She makes sure that she has plenty of time to give it a good going over before she goes in for breakfast. Her breakfast is good, for Grace knows that without a good breakfast she'II be ' c 1 , . hungry in that third period class. Notice the milk and coffee. When Grace is through with her break- fast, she is ready for the day. She lives a long distance from school and walks to the bus stop. The dog has to stay at home. Who said a dog's life? E231 SEPTEMBER 26th, September 26, 1941 Yuma 0 - N. Phoenix 20 North Phoenix high handed the Crims their second defeat in their first home game. Again the Crims were hampered by fumbles while the Mustangs shifted into the T formation and shook loose their fine halfback, Howard Moore, for long gains. Moore kicked a couple of extra points and tallied one touchdown to lead the visitors' devasf tating attack. ln the last quarter, the Crims man- aged to hold the Mustangs but this was small conso- lation.

Kids like most of the YUHS teachers and the teachers like the kids. There is little that is secret among the teachers, and kids get in on most of what goes on at teachers' meetings. As day by day goes by at the high school, students find more and more that teachers are their friends and that they are informal and can be talked to both inside and out- side the classroom. CROWDER COMES TO SCHOOL. l251 Teachers' meetings this year were for the most part regular and dealt with straightening out procedures and offerings in the high school. De- cisions reached in these meetings will be put out for students at the begin- ning of the next term. There are a hundred little things that would be noted in a student's diary--things that concern his teachers. Hardly a day goes by that the individual student doesn't find himself influenced by his teachers. In our YUHS log, we can't begin to set all these things down. Suffice it to say that war made some changes in the staff. We missed some and greeted some new ones. OCTOBER 2nd, BOB KRAHL, STUDENT PRESIDENT AT BI-MONTHLY MEETINGS AND THROUGH THE YEAR- THE STUDENT OFFICERS Will the assembly please come to or- der? Will the secretary please read the minutes of the last student council meet- ing? Throughout every year, student gov- ernment funtcions in the YU I-IS democracy. This year, a capable set of student offi- cers did much to get a serious clean-up campaign working, to clarify the point sys- tem for all-school awards, and administered with capable hands much of the consider- able student war effort after that tragic December 7. The student officers were leading workers in the YUHS defense pro- gram. Krahl, a peppy character with a flare for making friends and running things smoothly, led in a statewide student body officers convention with the rest of the YUHS officers, discussions on proving that YUHS was really out in front, especially in defense work.

The blondes Kanky Burger and La- Verne Stanton wore dresses in the school colors with short tlared skirts of blue and white satin. Robert Lee Wilkinson wore all white with a blue emblemed sweater.

Do you remember all the fun we had during the year, kids? Even if things right now look kind of gloomy and there's a big mess to clean up in the world before we can really go ahead with the future, we'll look back on this year with a memory that it was a good year and one in which we managed to have a pretty good time and get quite a lot of work done, too. It felt pretty good to be big-shot seniors. Now we're ready for whatever is coming next. On the whole, seniors are a little more at ease in front of a crowd, can understand teachers' jokes better, and are just a little on the cocky side.

Every day, these busses pull into the high school at about 8:30. They leave at 3:45. Over three hundred students ride the busses. To these students, the memory of the bus rides will comprise one of the most prominent recollections of high school life. For busses are where the students really take over. School has not started or is already out so they proceed to talk it all over - mixing conversation about school with that about other activities - dates, extra-curricular activities which are extra-school in every sense of the word. All the bus kids are friends. They really have a good time on their rides to and from school. The Wellton ride, 30 miles each way, gets a little tiresome at times. After all, it is one of the longest bus rides any student anywhere is called upon to make. THE BUSSES, EMERICK AND FRIEND, HEAD FOR SOIVIERTON. 'E was E351 octosen ioih, 7 FROM SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER AT EVERY FOOTBALL GAME - DRUM MAJOR THE MAJORETTES This year, the majorettes really went in for formations on the football field. Under the direc- tion of their new instructor, Mr. john Nankervis, the majorettes went through intricate routines at the games - a heart and arrow, a church, all sorts of letters. One of their most outstanding stunts this year was the selling of defense bonds at the Thanks- giving game. The majorettes sold a S50 bond with their first march. The organization received praise and publicity all over Arizona for its efforts in this direction. Another innovation this year was the awarding of prizes for the best performing majorette each time the group marched. Each week some Yuma merchant donated a prize which was announced to the stands with the name of the winner after each half-time performance.

E371 octossiz 1ofh, FLAG TWIRLERS The flag twirlers were this year added to the majorettes in order to round out the marching section of the band. These girls had large blue and white flags which added much to the colorful displays put on at the football games. CARDENHIRE, CREENLEAF They missed the boat on the first picture. The process of becoming a majorette isn't an easy one. Aspiring students must prac- tice hours with the baton, starting with a wooden, dummy twirling stick and progressing until they have mastered the real thing. ln addition, the prospective majorettes must prac- tice marching until they can go through drill routines with the precision of an army march- ing squad. lt isn't really easy to twirl a baton and march at the same time and the smooth displays that were seen during the last year were really the result of many hours of individual and group practice. Each year, more students try out for majorettes than can be used by the band. These try-outs, held once each year, determine which ones can be incorporated into the organiza- tion.

THE SECOND AND FOURTH MONDAYS OF EVERY MONTH - THE STUDENT COUNCIL This year's student council was over 30 members strong with representatives from each home room in the school. These representatives attended the regular meetings of ,the student governing body and then reported to the home rooms the activities of the group. ln this way, student government reached a greater number of students than ever before. When the war came along, the student council meetings took on extra importance. The students suddenly found themselves plunged into a real roupd M i iff l.-i Mir lf J . ill' l of!'Kf ,i , Bosiomss Y!

Although the student council did not directly administer these activ- ities, they took the lead- ing part in their execu- tion. The councl, in spite of its size, functioned smoothly and efficiently. Its handling of the clean- up problem was the best in years. OCTOBER 10th, BILL PARKS BILL NOBLE October IO, 1941 Yuma 0 - Mesa 33 In this game, it looked tor a while as if the Crims were going to go to town. They fought the jack- rabbits from Mesa high to a standstill tor ZO minutes and score was Mesa 7, Yuma O at the end of the first half. Then the Mes' ans came to life and smashed over four touch- downs, two in each of the last quarter and Yuma was again outclassed. ln spite of the score, the Armstrong-men showed some improvement in tackling and in holding on to the ball.

THURSDAYS SEE THE REGULAR ASSEMBLIES You don't have to go to assembly at Yuma high school but you usually do. Why? Well, they're kinda fun. Everyone has a pretty good time and the pro- grams aren't dull. Kids get right up there on the stage and cut loose. And anyway, there's no place else to go. This year, they did away with the assembly cup contest and gave the assemblies over to the teachers - that is, each teacher took certain dates and then the teachers and the kids worked up all the programs. Once every month, the girls and boys meet separately. HEMPERLY TAPS. What kind of programs did the school have? Well, here are some samples. One of the most outstanding was the Christmas assembly, Christ- mas in Coventry given on December I9. Then there were the junior and senior play skits on December 18 and january 29. And there were others. Remember the first AMS assembly on that divided stuff - the boys out in the gym? Then the AMS election. And the band a couple of times. Pretty good stuff-assemblies. E421 OCTOBER 16, UNSUNG HEROES EVERY DAY MAINTENANCE STAFF Every day, the maintenance staff per- forms countless duties and services for the students of the high school most ot which duties go almost unnoticed. They are called on to open lockers, tix desks, put up decora- tions, arrange for assemblies, etc. The mem- bers of this staff work all the year around and have no vacation as have students. Ever wonder how it was that the board was always clean in the room and the floor spotless when you came to class in the morning? It was always a good job, wasn't it? Well, you can thank the janitors.

Ocfober I7, l94l Yuma 7 - Bisbee 31 On this date, the Bisbee Pumas garnered sweet revenge for the defeat handed them by the Crim- inals in the first meeting of the two teams the pre- ceding year. However, the Crims outgained the Pumas on the ground but the Bisbee team had the Crims under their thumb with passes. lt was the same story as the previous games. The Crims did all right in the first couple of quarters but couldn't hold their opponents in the final stanzas, DURALD MOORE IOHN scHrviiTT E441 OCTOBER 17, AND AFTER THE GAME A LECION FORMAL SWING IT, HEP CATS Every Friday after the more important games and events at the high school, stu- dents went over to the Legion hall for intormal dances thrown by Abe Marcus. You got in for two-bits and you had a good time. Then there were the formal dances given by various town organizations and you could usually find a good high school representation there. Now the Legion hall is the property of Yuma grammar school and there are no dances. STUDENT SWING BAND At the informal dances in the Legion, the YUHS swing band, composed of music stu dents out to earn a little extra dough, was an attraction. When they cut loose on a hot number, the gang all stopped dancing and gathered around. They know how to jam it and it went over big every time this last year. We'll all remember those dances at the Legion FRIDAY IIVE AT OLD LECION HALL. l451 ARMISTICE THE ARMISTICE DAY PARADE-Y.U.H.S. BAND AND MAIORETTES. Rehearsal on the athletic field was for the band grueling work. When Director john Nankervis finished with band and majorettes, they had sore feet. But more rehearsals lead to a more perfect band and a better performing bunch of majorettes so the students didn't mind so much. The band this year gave one concert at night on February 20. Ewing Mitchell was guest soloist on the program. The band also played at two assemblies. lt was always available for civic affairs. Although the band did not enter any music contests this season, it took a step forward when Director Nankervis gave it a new type of music, including many popular numbers. ln addition to its popular selec- tions, the band rendered difficult classics. l I l l S sf is 'Lf xl - wa IOHN S.

A lot of those uniformed guys in that picture started when they were in grammar school - started practicing on the instruments they play, that is. And there were a lot of them that started even before they were in grammar school. Sure, the band is goodl lt's one of the best organizations in school and it goes over big with the students - and the townspeople. You never have much trouble getting a turn-out when you have a band concert and everybody sees the rallies downtown mainly because the band gives out with music. lt's a fairly big band for a school the size of Yuma high. There are more than 50 students in the band. lt's because most of the Yuma students are music minded and make music an integral part of their high school education. E481 OCTOBER 24th IOHN c.

The Crims weakened a bit in the last quarter but the Dogs were too tar behind to catch up. lf49J GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Boy, did we have fun out there in phys- ical education with Miss Rose? That was the kind of remark that came from the girls who this year went through the program of sports supervised by Miss Elizabeth Rose in her second year at YUHS. The girls opened the year with swimming and then progressed to a program of di- versified sports designed to provide some- thing interesting tor each individual mem- ber enrolled. First came lessons in archery and golf, with Coach C. D. Miller helping out with the golf. Many of the girls ac- quired skill in these sports which they may use many times after they are out of school. Then, ot course, there were the regular classes in tennis sixth period which gave the girls another sport in which they can engage after they are out of school. All these sports were a part of the broad- ened program which was pursued at the school this year. lt was the aim of Miss Rose to get every girl attending high school interested in some form of sports. You'll be surprised at the good players among the girls, One girl even suggested this year that a part of the competihvyg athletic program of the school be Niped MISS ELIZABETH ROSE, Coach xg v. ji td I over to the girls in order that YUHS tearm .f x-1, X J X might win consistently.

The Crims, however, played the best ball of the year and out-fought the Spartans through three quarters, earning both their scores. But in the last minutes of the contest, the Spartans scored and came back with passes. Yuma fans held their breaths as the El Centrans threw and threw again in the last IO seconds. But the game was over when the Crims intercepted one toss on the five yard line on the last pass. O WALTZ ME AROUND AC-AIN, WILLIE. November 14, 1941 YUMA 0 - EL MONTE 19 EI IV1onte's Lions used the spread forma- tion to advantage in downing the Crims. The locals worked hard and were stopping the Lions cold when the EI Monte men spread out across the field. The Crims just couIdn't catch on to the play and the Lions used it for a couple of touchdowns to out- distance the Crims beyond any catching up. The score at the end of the first half was 6-O in favor of EI Monte. This was about the real margin between the two teams. 1521 FRI DAY NOON SCENE. The Thermometer this year switched back to the system of having an editor for each semester. Ruthe Surber served as head of the paper for the first semester while Goldie Berry was editor during the second term. Students generally like the Thermometer, enjoying it each Friday.

Enke and Clark of Tucson were the combi- nation that spelled defeat for the Criminals. The Criminals, tackling well and holding on the ground, played good ball but they were just not in it with the Badgers. WATCH THAT PASS? November 28, 1941 YUMA7 - GLENDALE 13 lt was not until the last of the fourth quarter that the Crims went down to defeat under the pounding of the Clendale Cardi- nals. The two teams were about evenly matched and the breaks about even but again it was the let-up in the last stanza that whipped the locals. The Cardinals used the spread formation which had caused the Crims trouble every time it was used against them. ln addition, the Cardinals hit a Crim weak spot with their passes. E541 AND ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS THE M IC-HTY COLORADO. SAND BARS AND COOL WATER ARE PLENTIFUL. Nearly every day of the year is a picnic day at Yuma. The sun shines brightly and the air is mild so that students want to get next to nature for a little outing. Picnics, this last year? Boy, every chance we got we were out there at the river or the sandhills whoop- ing it up. SUNNY DAYS MEAN ------- PICNICS. l - I551 BONFIRE RALLY ENDS COLOR WEEK - NOVEMBER l9. KING FOOTBALL SEPT. TO DECEMBER YUHS football fortunes sunk to a three-year low this season when the Criminal eleven won only three games. But at the end of the year, the Blue and White, coached by Army Armstrong, was on the upswing and promised that next year Yuma would be a power to reckon with in the new Class A League which includes besides Yuma, Phoenix, North Phoenix, Mesa and Tucson. FORTENBERRY COMES OUT. xf.,:-rv -' V ' ' f , li l551 AT EVERY FOOTBALL GAME- SUSPENSE J C'MON YOU CRIMS! The YUHS athletic program this year YUHS' ATHLETIC PROGRAM OF FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, BASEBALL AND TRACK was devoted to building. Caught short on letter- men in nearly every sport except baseball, YUHS coaches Armstrong, Overson and Weis- ser started building material in football, bas- ketball and baseball that will put the high school out in front in the next couple of years. Uncle Sam intervened immediately after the second semester to take Coach Weisser into the army as a private. This shifted Coach Arm- strong to baseball coach and left Overson to teach the track team. The track team was a little shy on material especially in the A and B divisions, and didn't come out so well. The baseball team stumbled in the stretch and lost out at the finish of the year after a good start. But theer is more to the program of major sports than winning games. All coaches are building more than winning teams. They keep constantly before them the fact that they are attempting to train boys so that they will have more perfect health. More rigorous physical training was offered in the athletic program this year with an eye to producing men for the service of Uncle Sam. HEAD COACH ARMY ARMSTRONG COACH OVERSON COACH WElSSER I59l r l NOVEMBER 28, - QUEEN QF YUH Lillian McCain was elected Campus Queen of YUHS in voting conducted in The Ther- mometer on November 28. Others in the voting were Rosalie Callaher from the junior class, Dorothy Fleming from the sophomore, and Verda Rae Donkersley from the freshman. Each year the students of YUHS elect one of their number as Queen of the Campus. They select a number of nominees from all classes and then a vote of the faculty narrows these nominees to four, Lillian was selected by a vote of the student body which awarded her best on the bases of poise, personality, beauty, and suitability of campus attire. Thus she was elected to one of the signal honors given on the campus. Lillian has been outstanding all during her four years in high school. She was a promi- nent girl athlete, an honor student, member of a number of clubs and during this, her last year, was secretary of the student body, working at one of the most difficult jobs in school. In addition to being named Campus Queen, Lillian was also selected YUI-lS DAR Pilgrim this year. E501 NOVEMBER 28, RUNNER - U CAMPUS Q Rosalie Callaher answers to the P FOR UEEN- blue eyes, corn colored hair, nickname of Pody. Tall and slim, she is one ot the friend- liest persons on the campus. She likes dancing, swimming, and is prominent in most every social event. Dot Fleming is an example of a model YUHS coed. She is very good in sports, and brings home an honor roll report card every time. Dot has piercing ROSALIE CALLAHER I 51 1 and a matching personality. Verda Rae Donkersley is tall, has a pug nose and naturally wavy hair. She plays on the tennis team and says that ath- letics are her main interest in high school. She is a very good dancer and for a freshman she has done all right for herself. VERA RAE DON KERSLEY DOROTHY FLEMINC THEY WERE JUNIOR, SOPHOMORE, FRESHMAN ENTRIES .IAN UARY 23, KEEP 'EM FLYING HOP.

Of course, there were other dances - those all-school dances of the student body at the beginning of the year, the Wardens' Letterman's Barn Dance, the Girl-Dates-Boy dance and all the others that we held during the year. And everybody had a good time at those dances. lt's too bad we don't have more of the kids who will come out to the hops for they're a real part of high school. Those who miss them really don't know what they're passing by. E521 BEAUTY REIGNS WHAT'S COOKING? A.M.S.

Well, they put on a Mothers' Day tea as their main activity, This year, the tea came off on May 8 and was considered quite a success. There were also a couple ot parties and initiations. As you can see from the picture, the group is one ot the largest in school. Any girl can join the organization who is taking home eco- nomics and has an interest in the field. Yes, there is a course in boys' home ec but the club hasn't admitted boys, yet.

There is a student staff in the stacks every period to check out books for students and teachers. ln addition, the staff also takes care of a lot of the bookkeeping-sending out overdue notices, taking fines and keeping the whole library system of YUHS functioning smoothly. The staff consequently has a lot of business to transact and they get together once a month during home room period to get things done. There are periodic parties for the staff. This year, Miss Marie Wangler lvvho later in the year became Mrs. Boydl gave periodic parties for the group and helped them along in learning the business of keeping a library run- ning and initiating them into the intracacies of books, their publication and distribution.

Then the golfers started sponsoring the abandoned noon hour social mixers. The club furnished a juke box and charged a nickle a couple to get in and dance. In addition, the club encouraged competition among members and held club meets on quite a few Saturdays. Golf competition between the Hole Hi and golfers from other schools was scarce this year but this was true mainly because competition was hard to arrange.

For instance, did you ever count the perforations on a stamp? Yes, they have a meaning to the stamp clubbers. Several exhibits were held by the organization this year. Covers were placed in the trophy case in the hall of Snider hall. lt's a fascinating pastime and hobby for some twenty YUHS students. l701 SECOND WEEK - MONDAY SOLADITAS LATI NAS Honor students in Latin are members of the Latin Club of Yuma high school. The club is social and honorary. Each year it presents an assembly which is one of its main activities of the year. This year the club's program was a satire on love by Ovid, poking fun at old Roman courting customs. Another annual event ot the club is their banquet held on the date of the old Roman feast of Saturnalia on December l7. Club members eat reclining on couches as did the Romans of old. Another activity ofthe club this year was a bicycle ride and picnic on March 27. uf DOROTHY FLEMINC President ROW l, left to right--B. Smith, B. McCain, Banister.

Cokes went to the boys and the dads got cigars and cigarettes. Coach Armstrong's boxing class furnished entertainment with a battle royal. The Somerton Migratory Camp and the cavalry unit boxers also mixed it for the entertain- ment of the crowd. Each year, the election which names the officers for this organization is one of the most heated in school. This year's election led to a hilarious assembly, furious noon hour campaigning. TUESDAY - GIRLS' LEAGUE COUNCIL Handling the affairs of the Girls' League is the Girls' League Council. Each year, these officers attend conventions to bring back progressive ideas to YUHS. This Year the convention was held at Phoenix union high school on April I7. WEDNESDAY - DRAMA CLUB The largest organization in school is the Drama Club which boasts over lOO members. They're all interested in public appearances and each year the club manages to get quite a large percentage of them on the stage. Semi-annual try-outs find prospective members reeling oft prepared selections to proev that they can emote. It they are pasesd, they becom mmbers of the club. The first try-out for members was held on September 26 with the election coming October 8. The group initiated 27 members on October 3l. On March 20, the Drama Club presented three one-act plays for one of the major dramas of the year. The club members learn all there is to know about putting on a play - scenery, make-up, acting and directing. This year, student directors were appointed for two of the one-act plays, thus making them independent of teacher help.

Quite a lot of them? Well, there are a lot of girls out for physical ed and once they get started in the club they do not drop out. The first initiation was held this year on january 20. More than ZO students were taken into the organization at this time. Big event of the year for the Girls' Athletic Association members is the annual Girl-Dates-Boy dance, held this year on February l3. For this dance, the girl asks the boys and furnish the transportation, and most important - the dough. Another big event of the year is the annual GAA banquet where awards are given out. This year's banquet was held late in May. That's the official business of the Association. But, of course, the girls themselves are always active in the tourna- ments and otherwise. This year, the girls took on another duty when they raised money for the United China Relief.

On April lO, the Y Club held its picnic with the C,A.A. This event was held at the mouth ot the Gila river and a whooping good time was had by all. Y Club members were guests of honor at the Letterman's Ball held in December.

Boy, that's quite a few potatoes and no fooling! ln addition to making money for themselves, the FFA members this year pitched into the nation's war effort. They grew food for victory on land donated by several Yuma valley residents and intend to continue this project for the duration of the present conflict. A big FFA Fair was held at the Polo Grounds this year on April l9. Livestock from all over the valley was entered in this fair and there were races and special events. Local merchants donated prizes. On March l3, the members of the FFA went to Imperial valley to judge stock in the Imperial fair. On january l2, the group held its annual Father-an-Son Banquet with Gene Hatton as principal speaker.

The Pep clubbers wear blue skirts, white blouses, and a white sweater on which is their blue emblem. They give assembly skits, help local charity drives, and hold an annual Pep club formal at which they give their dates corsages, buy the eats, hold the hankies and in general switch to the offensive for a short time, and have a super-duper time doing it.

They don't make anything out ofthe store. lt's just a service for the students of the school. No that's not all they do. There are parties and picnics throughout the year and then the big Commercial Leaders' dance held annually. This year, the dance was held on january 23 and was one of the biggest successes of the year. The Club started the year with an initiation party on October 2 and took in ten new members. On january 23, the club held another initiation party this time taking in seven new members. lnitiation of members took place on March l8 and Clara Verne jobe was elected the new president of the club. l E301 THURSDAY-THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Impressive ceremonies twice a year initiate YUHS honor students into one of the most exclusive societies in school - the National Honor Society. This group is made up only of those students who are outstanding scholastically and who evidence leadership and ability. At these ceremonies, usually held in assembly before the whole student body, each pros- pective member of the group marches forward and lights a candle from a burning brazier pledging himself to uphold the standards of scholarship and leadership as a member of the Yuma chapter of the National Honor Society. The main duty of the local chapter is to furnish students who are forced to be out of school because of illness with the assignments they miss. A member of the group goes to each teacher from whom the ill student has a class and re- quests the assignments that are to be given for the period of time the student is going to be absent. Thus, ill students do not need to miss their regular class work.

From there, it went into its regular program of selling candy and pop at all the foot- ball games. The proceeds from these sales went to finance text-books which were loaned to needy students. Usually, the Wardens take a trip to the snow country sometime in December, but after the japanese attack on Pearl l-larbor this year, they decided to give up the trip and buy a defense bond. just before America's entry into the war, the Wardens threw a barn dance for the football Iettermen.

That's the Spanish Club, made up of students who have taken Spanish and who are interested in their language study and have made at least 3's in it. This year, the Los Hidalgos initiated their first group on October l5, held a party and elected Edna Morales treasurer. On january 30, the club held a picnic and again on March 6 the group went to the sandhills for another outing. Usually, the Spanish Club has given an assembly skit which has rated tops with students as entertainment. This year, the skit was presented the last of April. All in all, Los Hidalgos are an active group and have a large membership. with a variety of Spanish classes offered in the high school, a great many students are eligible.

E951 EACH ADDING :Ts POINT TO THE 16 REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION . . . 4ih1 PERIOD - CURRICULUM AFTER SCHOOL I U7 1 This energetic student is busily operating the pottery wheel in the art department. Under the guidance of Barney Reid and Mrs. Ermina Powell, students marked their own pathways into as many different art crafts as they wished. Some took leather craft, ceramics, metal work, wood carving and painting. Students frequented the art department for signs and posters to advertise almost every school event. Here, Sammy Dick is putting his training to a practical application. Mr. Banks heads the agricultural program of YUHS and Yuma's surrounding valley provides amply for a large attendance of boys intending to farm. Banks also headed the victory garden program which was started late in the year. FROM 1:00 TO 3:30 Auto mechanics, taught by Mr. Charles Gilpin, is one of the most valuable courses offered in YUHS. In the shop may be found many courses offered in YUHS. In the shop may be found many examples of four-wheeled vehicles that were practically resurrected from the junkyard. Work is also done on the school's busses and trucks, lawn mowers and other apparatus. Take 'em apart, and put 'em back together is the password in the amply- equipped auto mechanic shop. BCOLLY, THIS OUGHT TO DO IT! The new shop building, between the gym and auto mechanics buildings, provides a dreamland for students inclined in anyway toward wood Iathing, electrical apparatus, radio sets, metal working or any type of manual training. just this year completed, this modern, equipped building provided useful hobbies, vocations, and recreation for students. GIRLS AREN'T LEFT OUT. I 88 I SECOND PERIOD IN SNYDER ON THE WAY TO COMPETENT TYPISTS. Here are pictured stenographers and other future office employees in the embryonic stages. YUHS offers typing, shorthand, accounting, business mathematics, bookkeeping, and practical training in the school offices. BOOKKEEPI NC ONE E391 Students are urged to try for typing and shorthand records, and are encouraged to join the Commercial Leaders , a club for those students that rank high in commercial training. FIRST PERIOD ENGLISH FOUR Most all college prep students take English 4, given under Miss Mable Lee Cloyd, head of the YUHS English department. Students who expect to breeze through this course will change their minds or have it changed for them but it is a sure fire piece of ground- work to take to college. ln the four years of English in YUHS, students get a smattering of classics, learn out- lining, how to write reviews, reports, delve more deeply into sentence structure, and absorb innumerable other phases of English and English literature. What is the aim of a high school? Well, to give the students of that high school - the individual students - work that will prepare them for life after school. Whether the student is going on to college or whether he is finishing his education with - say English four - Yuma high school, with ten different curricula, has given that student preparation that he and his parents desired. A student may graduate from Yuma high school with only the state requirements and a major in any field that he has selected. But the office through Mr. L. C. Dingess and the individual teachers have attempted to guide every student that receives a diploma - advising him of the things he should take in high school and his possibilities of success in the field he has chosen. Consequently, when the Yuma high school student finishes school, he should be on the road to his life's work and his proper place in society. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT HEAD. E901 FIRST PERIOD SOUP'S ON! The boys' home ec. class did a roaring business this year. First the boys made their aprons lgreen but no frillsl , then Miss Brimhall lbetter known as MH. H Hopie , etc.l really put the class into production as far as learning how to prepare good, simple, nourishing food was concerned. Students soon settled down and learned something - partly because Miss Brimhall wasn't afraid to let the boom fall and partly because when third period rolled around they were famished and willing to eat any- thing. BOYS' HOME EC THE HOME EC DEPARTMENT Careful now, don't spill it . . . When this picture was taken the photographer stayed to sample the tomato soup, fruit and shredded cheese salad, and vegetable plate that the girls had prepared for the day's work. lt was good, tool Besides cooking, girls sew and exhibit their best efforts in annual style show. They are trained in nutrition, household manage- ment and even in how to care for small children. THEY'RE COOKING! I MISS WHITE PATIENTLY EXPLAINS. Languages - Latin from Miss White and Spanish from Mr Smith - are always pop- ular in YUHS. Students soon learn to toe the mark on homework and that there was no possible way to improvise on that last night's homework l didn't do, All college preparatory students are required to have two years of language so both teachers find plenty to do. IAnd so do the studentsl ARNOLD AND BIOLOGY. Science has four courses-general sci- ence, biology, physics, and chemistry. The books show that one-fourth of the students take all four of them. Those who go in for a little individual research, like to dabble in bugs, experiment, and in general lean to- ward the scientific side of lite, are the type of people that pursue this course. Headed by Mr. Maurice Marks, this major was very popular, as shown by the number of science students in high school that went on with it in college. I92 SECRETARY H. F. COLMAN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Determining the policies of YUHS and representing the people of the community of Yuma is the board of education. These citizens, without pay, give their time and effort to make our high school educational system a well-functioning organization. Cooperating with Principal L, T. Rouse, they this year swung Yuma high school in line with the nation's war effort. But even before the declaration of war, these mem- bers had approved the defense training pro- gram now proceeding here, and voted funds to build the new YUHS shop building to house equipment for both students and defense trainees. The smooth running of Yuma high school and its constant effort to make itself a better school are due in great part to the efficiency and interest of the board of education.

Tension ran high among ,the students that Monday. A remarkable gathering it was - the students and faculty as they listened to the President advising Congress to declare war - the whole student body was breathless, and solemnly attentive. We will always remember the way those shafts of sunlight fell through the quietness of the auditorium. Curly Rouse leaning on the radio in the center of the stage reflecting our feeling and giving us the best and most heartfelt advice we could possibly receive. Students kept posted on early proceedings. Soon YUHS emerged from that shocked realization that the nation was at war, to take a staunch hold on National Defense activities. I95J DECEMBER 10th, HCME DEFENSE Starting right off with a bang, and main- taining a fast and furious pace throughout, the YUHS home defense program went way up high in a hurry. Heading the program is Mr, Charles C-ilpin. Welding, machine tool operation, and tractor mechanics classes soon were started. Students were eager to l learn, and there was a long waiting list of applicants for the classes. DlREC-l-OR CHARLES Gll-PIN Classes were usually held from six to twelve every night but Saturday and Sunday for twelve weeks. In some cases, graduates of these defense classes went right into jobs in the airplane planes on the coast or were able to secure jobs in other defense industries.

But like most ot the other YUHS athletic tea ms, it showed some polish at the close of the year and most of the six Iettermen will be back next season to increase the chances of a successful upswing. ln a warm-up game on November 29, the Crims defeated the El Centro Spartans but then were clipped by the Tucson tive on December IZ, 33-I9. The second Class A game for the locals was a heart-breaker which the Phoenix Coyotes annexed in an over-time period 30-26. Then on january 9, the Tucson Badgers completely outclassed Coach Overson's players 63-I7. On january IO, the next night, the North Phoenix Mustangs dropped a disheartened Yuma team 27-I9. On january I7, the Phoenix Coyotes beat Yuma 45-26 and then on the same week-end, the Glendale Car- dinals took a 40-29 victory from the Crim- inals. On january 24, the Crims won their sec- ond victory when they took the El Centro five 30-24. . COACH OVERSON I 1001 ill Then on january 30, the Parker Broncos, an old foe of the Crims, won the first of the two yearly hoop games, 40-429 at Parker. The Criminals took the second contest between the two teams the next week. Then on February 7, the Mesa jackrabbits dropped the Crims 40-30 to end the season. CHUBBY CUELLAR LOREN PETERSON On February 20, Noble McElmurry was elected honorary captain of the i942 basketeers and Coach Overson awarded six A letters and three B letters to the members of his squad. Those receiving B letters were Pat Connor, james Yoakum and 1. Avila.

With a cast, nearly all of which were mak- ing their first stage appearance, the vehicle was well-received by an audience of approxi- mately 500. The cast included Edwina Otti, Marie Spain, Ruth Ann Lipscomb, Bill jack- son, William Temple, Norma Cannon, john Robert Schmitt, Martha Ann Moran, Robert Wilkinson, Clara Vern jobe and Robert Pancrazi. Nearly every character in the play held a lead part for all had to memorize about the same number of lines. Among the cast Billy jackson, Marie Spain, Clara Vern jobe, and Bob Wilkenson handled a good portion of the dialogue, while the characters kept 'em rolling in the aisles. We'll never forget when Edwina Otti said that the garden was fullabugs and Martha Ann Moran lost her glasses and made love to Wimpy Temple, and when Wilkie and johnney Schmitt, manhandled Robert Pan- crazi. SCHMITT, PANCRAZI, WILKIE H021 FEBRUARY 27, PEP CLUB CARNIVAL To the theme of Caught in the Draft , and the tune of Bert Wood's orchestra, the Pep Club carnival really put on the dog and gave out with plenty of concessions for stu- dents, townspeople, and soldiers from the nearby camps. The first portion of the carnival was given over to concessions, the last to a dance. Decorations were red, white, and blue. A rip-roaring business was done by the dart and bean bag concessions which had pictures of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito as the bullseyes. For five cents, you could take your choice of going through a terror house, seeing the bombing of Pearl Harbor pictures, a candied apple, hot dog, popcorn ball, cider, have your fortune told, play duckpins, shoot popguns, play bingo, buy a chance from the fishpond, etc. 4. When the dance started, Bill Parks and Mable McLaughlin were crowned as the YUHS Prince Private and his Princess. All in all, everyone had a grand time and went home satisfied.

The Yumans, coached by Tuffy Overson, entered two meets before the El Saguaro went to press and dropped them both to the El Cntro Spartans. On April 2, the Crims lost to the Spartans l7l- lO9 and on April 8. The B men broke about even in both meets but the A's with the exception of a few men. Charles jernigan, Victor Anderson, Harold Elliott, jimmy Marcus, lost out. When the Mesa Relays came up on April I I, the Crims did not enter because of the lack of A and B material. On the whole, material was rather scarce at the beginning of the year, the usual inter-class meet had to be cancelled for this reason.

The Criminal nine was the strongest Yuma athletic team of the year al- though it relinquished its title of West Central champions which it gained in l94l. The local nine opened its season by beating Calexico on March l2. The score of the initial ARMSTRONG game was 8-3. Then the Criminals dropped their BASEBALL COACH first class A game to the Phoenix Coyotes by a score of 6-5. Calexico came back strong in the second meeting of the two nines and walloped the Criminals on March 24 by a score of 7-2. But the Yumans came right back and beat the Calexicans 3-l on April 7. On April 6, the Crims defeated the Brawley nine and so had only two losses for the year. Then, during the third game with Calexico, the Bulldogs out hit the Criminals and won a 4-2 victory to even up the series between the two schools. Then came the decisive week-end of the year on April l6 and l7. The Criminals journeyed to the Salt River valley to take on the Glendale Cardinals and the North Phoenix Mustangs in a series that would have put them in a tie for the West Central loop lead if they had won both tilts. The locals whipped Glendale 9-7 but lost to the North Phoenix nine by a score of ll-O. This finished the year for the Crims.

DAVIS On the morning of May l4, the student body and faculty members were stunned by the unexpected death of one of the most popular teachers the students of Yuma High have ever known. His was the friendliness and courage that led students on to higher attain- ments. He was a familiar figure in all campu: activities. He was an enthusiastic booster of all extra-curricular events - the Advisor of the Honor Society. He was a person who had the faculty of making himself bigger than a physical handicap. His presence is gone, but the ideals which he taught and lived for will remain forever in the halls of Yuma High. 11341 . .
