THE BALBOA JOURNAL LOW SOPHOMORE HOME ROOM PRESIDENTS Low Sophornores--Spring '29 HE sophomore class will have the honor of being the first to gradu- ate from Balboa, and its members will hold the unique position of 5 4 being the highest class throughout their school career. This is not only an honor but a responsibility, since the whole school looks to the highest class to set the standards. Accordingly We find that many of the leaders and student body officers are members of the sophomore class. This term the class is represented in the Board of Directors by H. Warden, and J. Buffa, representatives, E. Kaffka, vice-president of the sophomore class, and Adolph Schmidt, president of the class. The Home Room presidents are T. Ward, L. Hunter, R. Novak, D. Fama, and K. Campbell. The sophomore class gave a dance in honor of the incoming freshmen. On account of lack of dancing space, we had to limit the attendance to the sophomores and freshmen only. The bids which were given to all the fresh- men and to our own members had che school colors and a large block B with the words Welcome Freshmen. Everyone had a good time, and towards the end, We served delicious punch made by the cooking classes. We hope that we made our new students feel at home, with the bold sophomore boys twirling the freshmen girls in a jig. We are sure our reception was a success. The students of the sophomore class have a fine spirit of friendliness toward their fellow students. They realize they are the potential seniors of the school and work to make themselves worthy of their position. ADOLPH SCHMIDT. -..gf 20 Ea..-

1 RE BALBOA JOURNAL HIGH FRESHMAN HOME ROOM PRESIDENTS High Freshmen-Spring '29 HE high freshmen started their class spring term by electing Ernest Engel, president, Dorothy Dempsey, vice-president, Louis Segal, secretary-treasurer, and Helen Lockhart, Lucille Joseph and Fred Schaffler, student body representatives. The following were elected to lead in Home Rooms: H. Sigrand, C. Cathey, Hurley, J. Ramage, E. Engel, H. De Witt, and Eugene Smith. In athletics, the high freshmen made their contributions. Our class unfortunately made the lowest score in the inter-class meet, but our regu- lar school teams include a large number from our class. Our championship soccer team was composed almost altogether of high freshmen. Our class has also taken its part in the social life of the school. In March we gave a very successful dance, which was said by many to be the best party of the year. At any rate we had a gloriously good' time. In addition to dancing there were interesting stunts given by the diiferent members of the registry rooms. The members of the class are proud that they will be the Hrst class to spend their entire high school career in Balboa High School. The present sophomores will graduate ahead of us, but these students will have spent their Hrst term elsewhere. The members of the class of June, '32 will be the first to have had the honor of being real Balboans. May we be such a ine class that our school will be proud of us! ERNEST ENGEL' -..gif 21
