PRINCIPAL'S  MESSAGE 


I  wish  to  congratulate  the  editor,  members  of  the  Liberty  Lion  staff,  and  faculty 
advisors  on  the  production  of  this  splendid  Annual  of  which  we  are  all  very  proud. 
Through  your  fine  spirit  of  cooperation,  unselfishness,  industry,  enthusiasm,  and  de- 
termination you  have  achieved  signal  success  in  this  line  of  endeavor. 

hiere,  as  in  athletics  and  all  other  school  activities,  you  have  ably  demonstrated  that 
you  have  measured  up  to  the  high  standards  which  you  and  your  school  so  zealously 
strive  to  continuously  maintain. 

It  Is  my  sincere  hope  that  you  and  the  entire  membership  of  this  student  body  will 
continue  to  develop  and  intensify  within  yourselves  these  qualities  of  loyalty,  tolerance, 
honesty,  industry,  clean  sportsmanship,  and  perseverance  which  have  won  for  you  the 
public's  most  favorable  commendation  for  your  successes  in  your  school  work,  in  your 
varied  school  activities,  and  in  your  athletic  contests. 

Finally,  judging  your  future  by  your  past,  I  have  no  hesitancy  in  predicting  that  the 
part  you,  as  individuals,  will  play  in  preserving  our  heritage  of  freedom,  justice,  and 
democracy  for  all  will  be  a  fine  and  constructive  part. 

E.  G.   NASH, 

Principal. 


IN   MEMORIAM 
ANTHONY    CASTRO 


A  MESSAGE  TO  STUDENTS 

For  many  years,  we,  the  youth,  have  been  told  that  our  futures  lie  before  us. 
Much  emphasis  has  been  put  on  future  success  and  future  happiness.  We  have 
been  constantly  reminded  that  we  are  the  citizens  of  tomorrow  and  that  we 
have  inherited  a  wonderful  land  of  liberty,  the  United  States  of  America,  hlow- 
ever,  now  our  liberty  and  our  futures  have  been  threatened.  We  face  for  the 
first  time  the  horrors  of  war,  horrors  we  have  encountered  only  in  history  books 
up  to  now. 

The  shock  of  war  has  provided  a  seemingly  firm  reason  for  youth  to  disregard 
completely  their  plans  for  the  future  and  to  think  only  of  crowding  all  their 
desires  into  the  immediate  present,  hlowever,  now  more  than  at  any  other 
time,  clean  and  normal  living  should  be  emphatically  stressed.  Although  there 
Is  an  atmosphere  of  uncertainty,  there  are  futures  for  the  youth,  futures  which 
will  demand  the  best  from  each  individual.  When  the  war  is  over  and  the 
countries  are  left  war-torn  and  crippled,  strong  minds  and  healthy  bodies  will 
be  sorely  needed  to  lift  our  country  from  the  depths  of  war. 

I  think  that  the  Seniors  should  take  more  care  this  year  in  planning  for  the 
future  than  they  would  under  normal  conditions.  To  the  Freshmen,  Sopho- 
mores, Juniors,  and  Seniors,  I  would  like  to  say  this:  Everyone  wishes  to  do  his 
part,  and  your  part  lies  In  the  task  of  becoming  capable  and  fit  to  undertake 
the  reconstruction  of  our  government  when  peace  Is  again  restored. 

BARBARA   REYNOLDS, 

Class  of  1942. 


DEDICATION 


In  1939-1940,  under  the  instrucfion  of  Mr.  George  Kristovlch,  a  Dramatics  Class  was 
organized  in  order  to  give  students  interested  in  the  drama  an  opportunity  to  study 
and  to  gain  practical  experience.  The  following  year  this  club  became  a  class  and  has 
continued  successfully. 

With  the  direction  of  Mr.  Kristovich,  each  succeeding  year  has  shown  an  improve- 
ment in  the  presentation  of  our  student  body  plays.  The  many  enthusiastic  students  in 
the  cast  and  stage  crew  who  have  shared  both  the  trying  labor  and  aesthetic  pleasure 
in  making  these  plays  a  success,  have  enjoyed  working  with  Mr.  Kristovich,  and  through 
his  interest  and  guidance  they  have  gained  considerable  knowledge  and  experience. 

This  year  Mr.  Kristovich  was  elected  by  the  Senior  Class  to  guide  them  in  their  last 
year,  and  the  members  of  the  Student  Affairs  also  chose  him  to  be  their  advisor. 

In  keen  appreciation,  therefore,  for  his  sound  advice,  never-tiring  effort,  and  en- 
thusiastic interest  In  the  welfare  of  the  students,  we,  the  staff  of  the  1942  Liberty  Lion, 
dedicate  this  annual  to  Mr.  George  Kristovich.

CALENDAR 


In   September, 

the  school  social  activities  got  Into  swing  when  the  girls  entertained 
themselves  with  their  annual  Girls'  hHI-JInx.  Everyone  "let  down 
her  hair"  and  had  a  rousing  good  time,  with  hilarious  games  and 
delirious  dancing. 

In   October, 

the  Freshmen  were  graciously  welcomed  to  our  number  at  the  Fresh- 
man Reception  given  and  sponsored  by  the  upper  classmen.  The 
boys  and  girls  danced  to  the  music  of  the  greatest  orchestras  in 
America,  In  the  form  of  records.  Old  Clothes  Day  on  October  23 
ushered  in  the  football  season. 

In    November, 

two  dances  were  held,  the  Sophomore  Hop  using  a  barn  dance 
theme  and  a  Future  Farmers'  dance. 

In    December, 

the  hHi-JInx,  to  the  theme  of  the  Gay  90'5,  was  held  in  spite  of  an 
all-out  blackout.  The  Juniors  really  drew  the  customers  with  their 
concession,  wherein  one  got  a  chance  both  to  win  a  prize  and  air 
one's  grievances  by  throwing  balls  at  the  Images  of  Hitler,  Hirohlto, 
and  company.  Everyone  welcomed  Christmas  vacation  after  the 
Hi-Jinx. 

With  January  and  the  new  year,  the  students  trooped  back  to  school, 
refreshed  and  eager  (?)  to  return  to  work. 

In  February,  the  girls  got  a  chance  to  pursue  the  objects  of  their 
affections  at  the  Sadie  Hawkins  Day  Dance,  also  combined  with 
Valentine's  Day.  Many  new  friendships  were  cemented  on  that 
memorable  night.  Also  the  Dramatics  Class  gave  a  serious  and 
thought-provoking  program  for  Lincoln's  Birthday. 

The  two  formal  dances  of  the  year,  the  Junior  Prom  and  the  Senior 
Ball,  were  held  on  April  17  and  May  15,  respectively.  The  Future 
Farmers  held  their  Field  Day  on  May  30.  Many  agricultural  activ- 
ities and  enterprises  were  exhibited. 

The  final  and  most  important  event  of  the  year.  Graduation,  took 
place  on  June  12,  and  everyone  attended  in  best  bib  and  tucker 
to  bid  the  mighty  Seniors  goodbye.  The  rest  of  us  were  looking 
forward  to  summer  vacation.

ACTIVITIES 


ART 

The  Art  Department  offers  courses  in 
Comnnercial  Art,  Craft,  and  Stage  Craft. 
In  the  Advanced  Comnnercial  Art  Classes 
under  Miss  Loze,  considerable  time  has 
been  devoted  to  display  problems  and 
poster  design.  The  Art  Classes  contrib- 
uted to  the  school  and  community  by 
advertising  the  current  war  effort  in  the 
field  of  Civilian  Defense  and  purchase  of 
bonds  and  stamps. 

The  Stage  Craft  Class  taught  by  Miss 
Rademacher  has  spent  its  time  design- 
ing and  building  the  sets  for  the  Class 
Dances,  Student  Body  Play,  The  Mothers' 
Tea  and  Graduation. 


DRAMATICS 

The  Dramatics  Class  has  contributed 
to  the  Freshman  Reception,  to  the  Hi-

The  Class  has  attended  several  plays 
at  the  University  of  California  and  the 
College  of  Pacific  Little  Theatres. 


ORCHESTRA 


MUSIC 
DEPARTMENT 

The  Music  Department,  under  the  di- 
rection of  Mr.  John  Farr,  has  had  many 
activities  during  the  year. 

The  orchestra  played  for  the  Fresh- 
man Reception,  hiigh  Jinx,  Student 
Body  Play,  Lincoln's  Day  Program,  and 
Graduation. 

By  playing  and  marching  at  the  games,

The  Glee  Club  sang  at  the  Freshman 
Reception,  High  Jinx,  and  numerous 
other  programs  throughout  the  year. 

Members  of  the  band  and  orchestras

HOME 
ECONOMICS 

Home  Economics  has  three  depart- 
ments: Foods,  Clothing,  and  Household 
Management. 

In  Foods,  under  the  direction  of  Miss 
Peirce,  the  students  learn  how  to  pre- 
pare and  cook  breakfast,  lunch  and  din- 
ner. They  are  learning  the  importance 
of  health  foods,  marketing  problems, 
thriftiness  in  buying,  cleanliness  in  home, 
table  service  and  etiquette. 

Miss  Rademacher  and  Miss  Loze  are 
the  instructors  in  Clothing.  They  are  em- 
phasizing the  four  important  phases  of 
the  clothing  program:  the  economic,  the 
construction,  the  health,  and  the  aesthet- 
ic. In  the  economic  phase  the  students 
are  taught  clothing  inventory,  wardrobe 
planning,  accounts  and  budgets  and  bet- 
ter buying.  The  health  phase  Includes 
posture  and  clean  clothes.  The  con- 
struction phase  includes  dress  forms,  pat- 
terns, cutting,  making  and  finishing  the 
garment.  The  Important  points  In  study- 
ing the  aesthetic  phase  of  clothing  are: 
wardrobe  planning,  color  and  line  pat- 
terns, and  fabrics. 

In  Household  Management,  which  is 
taught  by  Miss  Loze,  the  girls  make  a 
study  of  all  the  problems  pertaining  to 
the  management  of  the  home. 


HOUSEHOLD  MANAGEMENT

CHEMISTRY 


SCIENCE 
DEPARTMENT 

In  Liberty  Union  High  School  there 
are  four  main  science  classes.  These 
classes  are  usually  taken  in  the  following 
order:  General  Science,  Biology,  Chem- 
istry, and  Physics. 

General  Science  is  a  survey  course  In 
which  the  students  study  various  fields  of 
science,  especially  those  that  are  im- 
portant to  everyday  life. 

Biology  deals  with  both  plant  and  ani- 
mal life,  from  the  one-celled  plants  to 
the  gigantic  trees,  from  the  amoeba,  the 
simplest  single-celled  animal,  to  man,  the 
most  complicated  form  of  all  life. 

Chemistry  is  a  class  in  which  the  stu- 
dents try  to  learn  why  changes  occur  in 
certain  materials  under  certain  condi- 
tions. The  student  learns  much  about 
the  constituents  of  matter  in  order  to 
explain  why  these  changes  occur.  There 
is  more  laboratory  work  done  In  this  class 
than  In  any  of  the  other  science  classes. 

Physics  is  a  subject  in  which  many 
everyday  happenings,  such  as  how  a  train 
or  automobile  works  or  why  a  musical  In- 
strument plays,   are  explained.

BANKING 


COMMERCIAL 

Under  the  skillful  guidance  of  Miss 
Clark  and  Miss  Flanagan,  the  Conn- 
mercial  Classes  are  working  along  with 
the  idea  of  producing  better  secretaries 
for  positions  in  the  near  future. 

Typing  classes  are  being  taught  to 
type  fronn  every  source  of  material  as 
well   as   fronn    straight   manuscripts. 

Pencils  are  moving  fast  as  the  short- 
hand students  are  learning  the  rules  for 
the  "mysterious"  signs.  Miss  Clark  Is 
teaching  her  students  the  Idea  of  making 
them  swift  and  accurate  secretaries, 
ready  for  the  positions  the  government 
will  undoubtedly  have  open  for  them 
after  graduation. 

Fifteen  commercial  students  helped 
with  the  registration  of  Selectees  for  the 
Draft  Board.  The  Selective  Service  Sys- 
tem expressed  its  appreciation  for  the 
help  of  these  students. 


OFFICE  PRACTICE 


AGRICULTURE 

The  Future  Farmers  this  year  have  been  in+eres+ed  In  the  completion 
of  the  new  Agriculture  Building.  Now  that  the  building  is  finished 
they  are  diverting  their  time  to  National  Defense.  Gathering  scrap 
metal  fi'om  the  farmers  of  this  district,  and  growing  a  vegetable  garden 
are  omong  the  many  activities  of  this  group.  The  profits  of  these 
venl-ures  will  go  into  the  treasury  of  the  Future  Farmers  of  America. 

In  February  a  number  of  boys  attended  a  veal  calf  day  at  the  Stock- 
ton s+ockyards.  This  day  is  set  aside  for  the  purpose  of  better  ac- 
quainting the  boys  with  the  different  grades  of  livestock  and  the  use 
of  a  Central  Market  Stockyard. 

The  Fifth  Annual  Future  Farmers'  Day  was  held  May  30.  The  day's 
activities  Included  a  large  parade,  agricultural  displays,  and  a  hHorse 
Show. 

I  he  projects  for  the  year  showed  a  labor  income  of  $5,952.92  for 
which  the  members  worked  7,58  1 1/4  hours.

ATHLETICS 

The  Physical  Education  Classes  are  under  the  direction  of  Miss 
Schieffer,  Mr.  VonderAhe,  and  Mr.  Claudon  who  replaced  Mr. 
Mirande. 

The  purposes  of  these  classes  are  to  build  strong  bodies  and  foster 
good  sportsmanship. 

Basketball,  Baseball,  Football,  and  Track  are  the  main  boys'  sports. 

Tennis,  Basketball,  Speedball,  Archery,  Badminton,  and  Social  Danc- 
ing are  the  chief  girls'  sports.

SEN 
FOOTBA 


The  thud  which  resounded  when  foot  met  pig- 
skin at  the  beginning  of  the  season,  was  cer- 
tainly an  Indication  that  there  would  be  a  team 
this  year,  but  no  one  dared  to  guess  what  chances 
we  had  for  the  championship.  It  was  the  opinion 
of  many  that  our  Lions  would  make  a  very  poor 
showing,  but  when  they  came  through  in  a  blaze 
of  glory  and  captured  the  league  championship, 
a  great  number  of  staunch  supporters  were  sur- 
prised, if  not  stunned,  at  the  seemingly  impossible 
feat  that  had  been  brought  about  by  long  hours 
of  work  and  fine  cooperation. 

On  September  19  the  Lions  took  the  field  in 
their  initial  game  against  the  Dons  of  Acalanes 
and  took  them  into  camp  to  the  tune  of  6  to  0. 


With  first  game  jitters  over  and  plays  going 
smoothly  the  team  was  set  for  its  next  engage- 
ment. After  a  slow  start  the  gang  was  suddenly 
brought  to  life  when  the  Rio  Vista  Indians  pushed 
over  a  quick  touchdown.  After  the  clouds  of  dust 
had  settled,  we  were  on  the  long  end  of  a  20  to 
6  score. 

October  10  found  the  Liberty  team  trampling 
the  hopeless  California  School  for  the  Deaf  team, 
26  to  0.  Winning  the  game  with  San  Ramon  on 
October  I  7  was  quite  easy  for  the  Lions  since 
the  Green  and  Sold  was  forced  to  forfeit  the 
game. 

The  day  of  October  24  came  and  the  Lions 
embarked  for  Emeryville  where  they  were  quite

.L  MEN 


sure  they  were  going  to  "wow"  the  bay  city 
crowd,  but  the  Panthers  sent  forth  a  team  that 
offered  the  strongest  resistance  thus  far.  Final 
score:  Liberty  19,  Emeryville  14. 

Then  on  October  2  I ,  the  Cowboys  from  Liver- 
more  sent  over  a  fast  and  well  balanced  team. 
Even  though  the  score  was  27  to  12  in  our  favor, 
it  did  not  indicate  the  hard  battle  put  on  by  both 
teams. 

Confidence,  but  not  over-confidence,  prevailed 
as  Liberty  went  into  its  game  with  Amador  on 
November  7  in  the  all-important  championship 
game,  and  we  had  again  won  the  pennant  for 
the  third  time  in  five  years. 


Team  and  school  spirit  was  high  the  day  of 
the  "Big  Game"  with  Antioch,  but  by  both  speed 
and  power,  we  were  overwhelmed  by  the  paper 
city  team.  Scoring  in  both  the  first  and  fourth 
quarters,  the  Panthers  were  victors  by  a  score  of 
1 4  to  0. 

With  a  bruising  game  with  Antioch  and  the 
Amador  game  only  four  days  before,  the  second 
Acalanes  game  was  too  much  for  the  Lions.  In 
ten  days  the  team  had  played  three  games,  there- 
fore, the  Lions  were  no  match  for  the  Dons  after 
the  first  half.  Final  gun  found  Acalanes  leading  20 
to  6. 

The  Acalanes  game  dropped  the  curtain  on  an 
outstanding  football  season.

GIRLS'  ATHLETICS 


Girls'  Athletics  have  started  with  a  new  program  for  1941-1942  under  the  direction 
of  Miss  Schieffer.  The  girls  have  their  fall,  winter,  and  spring  sports  lined  up  for  the 
season. 

New  classes  in  tennis  started  this  year  in  the  fall  and  will  continue  in  the  spring. 

Golf  is  taught  this  year  by  Mrs.  Brewer. 

Another  new  activity  added  to  the  gym  period  is  Danish  Gymnastics.  There  is  also 
new  equipment  for  archery  so  that  more  of  the  girls  can  become  proficient  in  this 
activity. 

Social  Dancing  as  well  as  First  Aid  are  additions  to  the  yearly  program  and  afford 
pleasure  as  well  as  practical  knowledge.
