,,..,.,. as Class History Balboa's graduating class of fall '48 was stnall but active. lt began with the ordering of graduation announcements, measurements of the caps and gowns, ended with plans for the end of the term. This class was full of school spirit. Various committees planned activities for the latter part of the term and immediately began to get under way. The Senior Ball was a gala event which ninety couples attended, held at the Fairmont Hotel on january 22 in the Terrace Room. Most couples had dinner at famous well- known hotels and restaurants before the ball. Following rehearsal for graduation on jan- uary 28, the fall class inaugurated a new tra- dition called the Pilgrimage as part of the Senior Day activities.

HENRY BARSOTTI . . . class sponsor for fall '48, assumed this position when he first came to Balboa during February, 1946. Chris Firatt was president of the class at that time. Mr, Barsotti has enjoyed being with this class very much, and after the class graduated from Bal- boa, he experienced a sad and lonely feeling in his heart fit says herelj. The class always had a great deal of spirit since the first day it came to Balboa. There were always picnics, hikes, weiner-roasts, and dances and parties at Sigmund Stern Grove, and then the traditional cake sales. Mr. Barsotti always tried very hard to please his class, and he did with success. He started the traditional Aloha Dance, given for the gradu- ating class and The Pilgrimage, which recalled fond memories about Balboa. The seniors of fall 1948 have completed their high school training, and to them Mr. Barsotti re- gretfully says good-bye.
