junef1930 BALBOA JOURNAL MARIE HAZELEUR FRED LUCIAN MELVIN GROOM GENEVIIZVE HOWARD LCW FRE I-IME , FALL 1929 S low Freshmen we entered Balboa High School at the beginning of the Fall term, August 1929. - The first day was rather brief, but it was excit- ing, as it brought us in contact with so many new people and new things. It was some time before we had accustomed ourselves to our programs and had learned to know our school. Later we elected our class officers: Fred Lucian, President, Melvin Groom, Vice-Presidentg Marie Hazeleur and Genevieve Howard, Representatives to the Board of Directors. The Student Body ofhcers gave a reception which was appreciated very much by all of the freshmen. There was dancing and an interesting program of stunts, as well as refreshments. Halrec Warden, the President, and Zena Pack, the Vice-President of the Student Body, led the grand march, for which the Balboa jazz Orchestra played the music. The low freshmen tried to do their part for Balboa in every way and were proud to count among their number, Howard Mills, one of the best light- weight breast stroke swimmers in the city. Balboa's first team of the term was the football team which was very strong for a school without Juniors and Seniors. Many Freshmen reported for prac- tice regularly, and some were placed on the teams, where they did their bit faithfully for Balboa. Very soon Balboa will develop strong athletic teams for which this class of june '33 will furnish its share of athletes. FRED LUCIAN. Serfenleen

BALBOA JOURNAL funef1930 I-IICIH FRESI-IMEN, FALL 1929 HE Fall term of 1929 was an eventful one for the high Freshmen, and one which we shall not soon forget. We came back glad to feel that we were not low Freshmen and that there was a younger class to which we could set an example. We began the term by electing Bill Treverton, President, Wilhemina Kopf, Vice-President, James Stewart and Edna McLaughlin, Representatives, who became members of the Board of Directors of the Student Body because of their ofiice. The High-One home-room presidents were james Stewart, 202, Hilda Johannsen, 302, Elsie Schwartz, 3033 Marion Horeni, 220, Alice McKenna, 128, and Howard Haverty, 233. V Our class had one other member on the Board of Directors, Bob Cook, Athletic Manager during the Fall term. In November we gave our party for which Mr. Schmaelzle furnished most of the pep. Refreshments were served and everyone had a good time. Mr. Schmaelzle's registry room, one of the High One classes, challenged the other registry rooms in basketball and won the championship. Many of our classmates were on the football team and the girls participated in crew. They have all done their part exceptionally well. We are proud of our record and hope we can continue with it for the rest of our school terms. BILL TREVERTON. EDNA MCLAUGHLIN - BILL TREVERTON XVILHELMINA KOPF JAMES STEWART Sixteen

BALBOA JOURNAL 12171611930 TUDE T BCDDY, SPRING 1930 HE Spring term of 1950 has been a very important one in the history of Balboa High School, since it brought us the use of our new cafeteria, gym- nasiums, and athletic field. The equipment Of this new addition, which is among the finest in the state, should be an incentive for us to excel. Every rally, every party, every assembly was doubly enjoyed by the students because this term we had a suitable place for such activities. The officers and standing committees of this term have proved very efficient. Few things were really lost in the school, due to the good work of the Lost and Found Department, Balboa was always up to date in news, through the efforts of the Bulletin Board Committee 3 there were no crowded Or congested halls, for our Traffic Squad has functioned very efficiently, -the office has been supplied with fiowers under the supervision of the various class Officers on the Board of Directors. The Board itself has fostered a fine feeling of friendship throughout the school. We have appreciated the many special services ren- dered by the teachers and students. During this semester Balboa has acquired eight new clubs, which are mak- ing the work Of the various departments more interesting, and have an educa- tional as well as a social value. Throughout the school there has been a fine spirit of rivalry in various aspects Of school activity. Scholarship has improved, attendance records have been broken, and, as a result of the interclass games, we are developing better school teams and a more widespread interest in athletics among the student body as a whole. Socially, Balboa has had a banner year, due probably to the fact that for the first time in our history we have had an adequate place to hold Our parties. At the beginning of the term there was a get-together party for the whole student body, and a few weeks later the juniors gave a Freshman Reception which will long be remembered by the Freshmen Of this term. During the term each of the classes had a party with stunts, games, and dancing. The rallies and assemblies which were held lin the gymnasium this term were a great improvement over the makeshift rallies we have had to have be- fore. But the rally of April 24th, held on the grandstand of the new athletic field, was a real inspiration to many Of us. Altogether we feel that the student body under the Board Of Directors is making progress in school spirit, in a feeling Of unity, andla sense of respon- sibility toward out own Balboa High School. .
