JEANNE SMELTZER TOM RICHARDSON Editor-in-Chief Business Manager a. Foreword T LAST the 1930 Acorn is in your hands and with it rest the efforts of the staff A to give you a reminder of the days which, we are told, are the happiest of our lives. May this book help to bring back to you your favorite haunts about school, and may you, seeing a friend’s face, recall his companionship. We have endeavored to give you a hint of the characters or habits of your associates in the Senior Horoscopes and the Humor Section. We mean it to be a bit sentimental for the Seniors—to give them a representative of their school when they go forth to parts unknown. For those who may still look forward to remaining years of high school life, we have also endeavored to make it an accurate index of infor- mation concerning people and things about school. The pride in our building has be en given to us, the classes of the last four years, as a heritage—we have endeavored to help you to preserve it by incorporating views of the school in our art work. The Events Section, including what was for- merly known as the Drama and Social Sections, has been enlarged, since we realize that these activities rank among the first in importance in the school. With thanks to our advisers for their generous aid, and with the hope that we have succeeded in our aim to please you, we consign to your keeping these pages of memories and laughter, the 1930 ACoRN.

To J.B. LANKTREE President of the Board of Education A NATIVE son of California, for fifty years a resident of Alameda, for thirty years a member of the Board of Education, for fourteen years its President. He began his useful career of service at a time when Alameda boasted neither paved streets nor sidewalks and there were but four schools in the city. Today he can look with pride at a progressive school department, which does credit to a beautiful and modern city, and a high school which has few superiors in the State. In grateful acknowledgment of the large part he has played in translating a dream into a reality, and in tribute to his fine and patriotic citizenship, the students of Alameda High School dedicate this “Acorn” to one whom it shall ever regard as Alameda High School’s loyal friend.
