L lCLdJ J idtori ¥ September 1946 September 1947 November 1947 April 1948 May 29, 1949 September 1949 November 1949 Our advance forces arrived at Ham- ilton to scout the field and establish a foothold for our coming years in high school. The rest of our class tied their chargers on the front lawn and joined their friends to form a mighty army — strong. We chose the officers who were to lead us in our initial campaign. They were : Ed Neilan, President; Tom Metcalf, Boys ' V.P.; Margie Cleland, Girls ' V.P.; Gay Chapman, Secretary; and Lynne Rogers, Treasurer. We paused on our course to so- cialize with our teachers and par- ents at the B-10 Tea. We made great advances using a new weapon — roller skates — at a party at the Culver Rollerdrome; however, we returned to our pran- cing chargers, deciding that they were a somewhat less painful means of transportation. This warm Sunday found us roast- ing in the sun at the Del Mar Beach Club (minus our long winter armor of course) . This event was planned by our A- 1 1 officers: BobOhnemus, President; Bill Douglas, Boys ' V.P.; Joan Long, Girls V.P.; Sharon Coop- er, Secretary; and Gay Chapman, Treasurer. With the end of our conquest in sight, we marched onto the campus OS mighty Senior B ' s. Our officers were Jim Hughes, President; Midge Wilcomb, Girls ' V.P.; Bill Douglas, Boys ' V.P.; and Barbara Miller, Treasurer. We revealed to the student body that this greotest-of-all classes hod chosen Costilians as its name and maroon and white as the colors to appear on its emblem. January 1950 February 1950 February 1950 March 1950 Moy 1950 June 1950 June 1950 June 15, 1950 We ushered in the half-century with prom complete with all the traditional splendor of Old Spain to honor our departing cousins, the Loanions. With but one semester left, we threw our campaign into high gear and elected our Senior A officers. They were Bob Ohnemus, Presi- dent; Midge Wilcomb, Girls ' V,P.; Gene Chamberlain, Boys ' V.P ; Margaret Cull, Secretary; and Au- drey Squillonte, Treasurer. In our striking white sweaters with their maroon emblems, we took the campus by storm and that evening invaded Olvera Street, followed by a trip to the Ocean Pork Pier. Our forces took a well-deserved fur- lough to spend the day at Griffith Park hiking, eating and playing a strange American game called baseball. We gathered again for one of the high points of the year, the Senior Tea. Our mothers and teachers met over the teacups to speak with pride of our accomplishments of the last four years. Our little brothers, the Highlanders of W ' 5 1 , presented us with a plaid prom, enjoyed by all to lost detail of its gay Scotch theme. The Senior Recognition Assembly will long be remembered by all, as outstanding Costilians were deco- rated by school and community or- ganizations for valor in various fields of endeavor. Today we pass in final review to re- ceive our diplomas, and though we will scatter in many directions, we hove each set up individual goals which we shall strive to reach with as much diligence as we have dis- played in capturing this fortress of education. 20
