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?

Boyfamzl GZ.V!5JBf0Ck 'BD CALIFORNIA SCHOLARSHIP FEDERATION Organized at Balboa High School for the purpose of giving recognition to students outstanding in their respective fields are six honor societies, one of which, the California Scholarship Federation, limits its membership to students who excel in scholastic work. In order to qualify for the local chapter, a pupil must procure a minimum of ten honor points, at least eight of which must be in classroom subjects with not more than two in extra-curricular activities. Honors which are extended to these students in- clude a gold seal on the diploma, the starring of the name on the commencement program, and the use of an honor pass on the campus. Term's officers were Ed Lopez, president, Anna Laterza, vice president, Elma Oddstad, secretary, Clare Sanguinetti, treas- urer, and Mr. Snow and Miss Rivers, advisors. BOYS' BLOCK BU SOCIETY Recognizing students who have gained the re- PAGE NINETEEN quired number of points in the f1eld of athletics, or have played on championship teams, the Boys' Block BH, under the leadership of Bob Antraccoli, and supervision of Mr. Hill, has been prominent in campus work this term, and in the fostering of school spirit. The semi-annual sport fest and ban- quet, two highlights of the semester, were great successes. GIRLS' BLOCK B SOCIETY To be of service to Balboa and to give recognition to girls who have won their block in sports, is the purpose of the Girls' Block BU Society. Members assist in the physical education equipment room, ushering at the school rallies, and in general mat- ters of campus welfare. Bernice Strube, efficient president, has been aided in the society's work by Audrey McCauley, vice president, Ramona Castell, secretary, Joyce Peckham, publicity manager, and Miss Todd, sponsor.
