THE BALBOA JOURNAL High Lights ALBOA HIGH SCHOOL opened in August, 1928. The opening day was full of confusion. The numbers of registry rooms of the stu- dents were written on boards in the arcade. ---- Seagulls are seen in large numbers in the yard. Just throw a piece of bread and several Seagulls will come down after it. One peculiar incident happened when a member of the football team hit a seagull with the foot- ball. It knocked him out for ten minutes. When he came to, he was as dizzy as a drunken sailor. i--- Our Hrst assembly was held for the purpose of introducing the faculty to the students. The faculty members were greeted with loud clapping. Because we have no auditorium, we had to have the assembly out of doors in the ocean breezes. ---- Our first game was a basketball game with Commerce High School. A large number of students attended and brought plenty of school spirit with them. The principal of the opposing school commended us for our behavior and school spirit. -4-- The orchestra made its Hrst appearance in a rally. We had no idea that the students could play so well, and burst into applause. ---- Our Hrst party was scheduled. We held it in the hall because we have no gymnasium. The hall was crowded, for five hundred students were jammed in it, but nevertheless we all danced and had a lot of fun. - - We had a Christmas tree. The decorations were brought by the stu- dents. For a week the lights gleamed, and the last day of the term, a beautiful Christmas assembly was held and songs and Christmas legends were recited. ---- The second term brought about three hundred new students, swelling our numbers to nearly a thousand. Again there was much confusion, but many of us had the feeling of being old-timers. -k-- Our first championship was won by the 110 pound soccer team. Many students went on crowded cars to see our team win. Enthusiasm ran high. 1 -.. .. 1 Two of our students competed against other high schools. in the Shakespearian Contest. They did not win but they brought glory to our school. ---- We had a Humpty Dumpty Circus. Our students put on the stunts, which proved to be a riot of fun. k-.- So ended the first adventurous year of Balboa High School. CLARENCE EHLEN. L-. 17 13.--
