Kathleen Hooper, Sherrill Conner, Janice Hooven, and Ellen Haulman. There is one group of individuals in our class who has always been at the top of the popularity list. Candidates for honors in this field are Lee Parker, Emily Bennett, Shirley Moser, Ann Phillips, Shirley Speer, Knox Kirk- land. Sherrill Conner, Tom Paterson, and last but positively not least Tiny Sanderson, that swell fellow who is a friend of everyone and every- thing. Honors for dramatic talent go to Mary Louise Johnson, Lois de Freitas, Carol Brumm, Dick Besoyan, Paul Worthy, Sherrill Conner, and Verna Schmidt. To our faculty advisers and to our other teachers as well as to Mrs. Hall and Mr. Bryan should go the credit and the praise for our successes. This small group of people has given its fullest cooperation in all matters which concerned us and our activities. Throughout the entire four years they did not once refuse to help us when we asked their advise or requested their aid in some class activity. RALPH XVILHELM. Recording Serrcfary. f2ll

B ILL Rorrr ,,w4W'59 The imprint of the class of june '42 is deep in the tradition of Alameda High School and will remain so long as our Alma Mater exists. Our class has produced leaders in practically every field of endeavor: sports, school entertainment, and the holding of offices. Each and every one of the mem- bers of our class has done his personal share in making the class of June '42 the most successful of any graduating class, but there are those who stand out vividly as the ones who will be remembered by us and the school. In sports, those who did outstanding work were Walt Moreno in basket- ball, Will Lotter and Bob Bierwith in football, Russ Carlson and jack McAuliffe in swimming, Les Mehrtens and Ernie Schneider in tennis, Bill Mcllveen, Bill Beckwith, Charlie Seger and Ross McMullin in track, Bill Serena, Mike Korich and Will Lotter in baseball. The boys mentioned would start an almost endless list of athletes in our class which would include Paul Worthy, Bob Pollen, Ross Ewing, and countless others. Our class has always provided ample entertainment in all of its social events such as the 'LTropical Promf, the HHayseed Hop, The Black Flamingofl and many other activities such as dansants, skating parties, and student programs. Outstanding leaders have guided these functions thoroughly and well. Some of these have been Bill McCarty, Sumner f20l
