Tony Bosnich, Pete Davis, Robert Dillon in football, Gerald Cresci, jim Skin- ner and Ken Mooslin in track are always in the thick of the fray. Low juniors having patterned their activities after the seniors have been instrumental in encour- aging participation in school affairs. On the roster of this active group are Norma Peterson, Doris jordan, Roger Plyer, and Margaret Abbett in schol- arship g john Russo, football, and Harry Michelsen and Rudy Marzi, varsity crew. jack Bramy, presi- dent, was also chief official of the group when they were low freshmen. SOPHOMORES High sophomores, or, as they put it, the high- and-mighties of the lower division, have been am- bitious in setting an example for other lower divi- PAGE SFVFNTEEN sion classes to follow. Ed Goldman, class president and able orator, believes sincerely that, School is the preliminary bout that prepares for the main event, that of making a livingf' Low sophomores have brought favorable attention to themselves this term primarily by supporting the clean-up campaign. FRESHMEN When one thinks of the high freshman class, the name of Paul Varoff is outstanding, largely because this chap is out to break the record of big brother George who holds an international record in his sport, pole-vaulting. The freshman dance, given as an inducement to let these students who are fairly new to Balboa get acquainted, was a success, and members anxiously await another affair of its kind. Youngsters of the school gave the reins of leader- ship to Donald Lee, who has started his charges out in the right way by entering into sports and school activities. 'They quickly became adjusted to the size of Balboa, and, much to the dismay of their older friends, found out that Balboa has no swimming pool. eil?

Vg. f HIGH SENIORS High-and-mighties will have officially left Buc- caneer-land in a few days with their official and hon- orary discharge from the crew of the good ship Galleon, leaving behind a glowing record of achieve- ments in the ship's Memory Log, which will be hard' for any class to surpass. At the time of issuance of this, their last Galleon, the group is still looking forward to the Senior Breakfast in the school caf', to that supreme mo- ment, one of the greatest in their lives, when they will walk onto the stage of the Opera House to re- ceive their diplomasg and the last great social affair, the Senior Ball. It was a very difficult task to choose, out of this class of over 300, the two to receive the crowning honor of their high school years, but Helen Ander- holm and Robert Lundquist were selected on the basis of scholarship to give the valedictory and salutatory at commencement. So with lingering thoughts of good times spent together, Balboa bids the class of January V40 fl fond adieu. LOW SE I RSf Running the class of J i econd when it comes to achi ments, the graduates of june '40 appear to have work as their by-word, for the low seniors have been active in every phase of school life. Most of the time allowed in weekly meetings went by without entertainment so that every minute could be given over to discussion of important class problems. The senior party given by the low seniors in honor of the high twelves used as its theme Harvest Festival, which was en- tirely different from any in the past and received praise. Outstanding in sports, mainly football, were such students as: Red Jensen, head man of the grid- iron, who also played on last term's championship baseball nine, Walter Pipko, Pat Castellano, and jim and jack Hughes, also prominent in varsity basketball. Comprising the majority of the Honor Society, as well as most of the journalists, the class of june '40 was an important mainstay in Balboa's wheels of progress. PAGE SIXTI FN
