THE GALLEON June - 1931 GEQRGE SANZ EYRLE ACEVES EUGENE SEBASTIANI Vice-president President Representative High Freshmen, Fall 1930 UUR high freshman class has been in Balboa for six months and all of my fellow students have thoroughly enjoyed their first days at Balboa. For the fall term, the following students were elected to lead the class: Eyrle Aceves, president, George Sanz, vice-president, and Eugene Sebastiani, representative. Ac the beginning of the term many members of the class started to get into the center of school activities. Some joined the diferent clubs and organizations of the school, while others took part in athletics. Our preced- ing term produced such athletes as Jack Stark and Ernest Anderson, who, we hope, will develop into famous traclcmen. Our class also had a large contribution of athletes for the 110-lb. soccer team, which won a championship this term. These boys were Sam Fama, Ray Stockdale, Ernest Anderson, and George Sanz. We also had three boys, Nick Matulich, Lovel Williams, and Herman Gutierrez, who played on the football team. On October 9, the high and low freshmen class had their party. Enter- tainment consisted of a selection of songs by Pete La Fata, and Xylophone solos. The dramatic club presented a very interesting play. In the absence of the jazz orchestra, whose members had to go to Polytechnic High School, music was furnished by Wilhelmina Maghella, pianist, Leon Salvi, and Martin Santich, accordionists. At the end of the fall term a number of members of this class made the California Scholarship Federation, which is a state-wide honor. In the years that lie before us, We hope to do much more in placing our school at the top. Twenty-eight
