THE GALLEON June- 1931 MARGARET COLE RAYMOND MAROVICI-I FRANCES PETTENGILL Vice-president President Representative High Juniors, Fall1930 MEMBERS of the high junior class brought forth their talents in many clubs, sports, debates, and scholarships. They maintained the spirit of the school, and encouraged lower classmen in every popular activity. Balboa may be justly proud of this class, for sixteen of them have gained their goal, which was to graduate in three and one-half years. The Junior Prom gath- ered the best students that could be found in any group. The football season, which was Balboa's first in the A. A. A., found many high junior names on the roster. Basketball line-ups also registered many eligible high juniors. Girls' crew, largely composed of high junior girls, was a success in inter-school competition, and will long be remembered. A high junior registry class, 103, won the inter-class basketball pennant. Class officers were: Raymond Marovich, president, Margaret Cole, vice- president, and Frances Pettengill, representative. These officers were fortu- nate to be the leaders of a very benignant group, who supported them in every petition. We have set the pace in every activity since Balboa was but a single unit. We have co-operated with every movement beneficial in our school, our teachers, and our classmates. Weiunderstand Balboa-we grew up with it, and now we are setting a tradition which will become stronger as the years roll by. We aim, before graduating from our Alma Mater, to set a paramount standard, and place Balboa preeminent to every high school in the city. Twenty-four

June - 1931 THE GALLEON LORA PETERS WILLIAM PALMER CATHERINE COLE HENRY MATHEWSON Secretary President Vice-president Yell Leader Low Seniors, Fa111930 UNDER the leadership of President William Palmer, Vice-president Catherine Cole, Secretary Lora Peters, and Representative Henry Mathewson, the low seniors enjoyed a successful and most interesting term. There were many activities during the term, but the real highlight of the term was the Boston Tea Party. The willing aid of the faculty and the splendid management of Miss Pauly, combined with the co-operation of the class, put over the party in great fashion. Entertainment was supplied by members of the senior class, the faculty, and Student Body. A short play, M071 Mid Wife, a one-act farce on doubting wives, was given by members of the dramatic club under the direction of Mr. Brown. A tap dance was pre- sented by Eleanor Smith, with Miss Aced, accompanist, then a dance by four seniors, Catherine Cole, Alice Crowe, Kaye Ford, and Helen Hawkins. Mr. Roy McCarthy entertained with several songs. Refreshments were served under the supervision of Miss Woodruff by a stag of willing workers. The party came to a close with a Hourish of good tidings and happiness. Each guest received a hearty handshake and a warm send-off by our president. During the term, two members of the June '31 class, president and secretary of the Balboa Students' Association, and members of the faculty, acted as a committee to select the school symbol and pin. A sixteenth century ship was selected as the symbol. The pin which was recommended by this committee and approved by the Board of Directors contained the ship. The first senior sweaters to be seen in Balboa were of navy blue, trimmed in orange, with Balboa ship in felt just above the pocket and J '31 on it. But alas! the term drew to an eventful close with the award rally. The fourteen bold seniors walked upon the platform to be viewed by the entire student body, and received a welcome that made them glad that they were the class of June 1931. Twenty-three
