There was the Senior Breakfast, where eating food was hard with all the excitement in the air. There were fare- well talks by Mr. Chase, Mrs. Sehaller, Mr. Morena, and Mr. Haas to bring tears to the eyes, There was Move-up Assembly, where we wore our caps and gowns for the nrst time and marched through the auditorium to the stage, the band playing the always-beautiful Aida. lt was thrilling to see the in-coming high seniors take their places in the senior section. The graduates realize that the spotlight is on them, but all they can think about is This is it! This is the last time I shall see all these kids together. This might be the last time I shall ever see some of them. Gee, I wish we were starting our high senior term all over again! To many of the graduates, Move-up Assembly means even more than graduation itself. But all-in-all, the graduates are saying to Balboa So long, and thanks for the memory. PAGE TVUENTY-FIVE

Class Hisfory The work of many hands can be ex- pressed by the activities of the high senior class of '49 at Balboa. After three and one- half years of participating in school activities, they have finally reached the top. Under the leadership of Charles Cresci and Mr. Haas, the events of the H-12 year came off success- fuuy. Many hardships were met and dissolved, and midnight oil was burned to make this term a successful oneg arguments arose and were subdued by the officers. Among various things accomplished by this high-spirited class, were dances-namely, the Hello Day Dance and the 'Christmas Dancej' a picnic and dance at Sigmund Stern Groveg and cake sales at school. The long-awaited Senior Week brought its splendid crowded calendar of events. There were the barbeque, Senior Jinx, races, and an all-around good time at Adobe Creek. There was Senior Church Service, bringing the sol- emn realization that one will not see many PAGE TWENTY-FOUR H-I2 Sponsor H-12 SPONSOR MR. LOUIS HAAS . . . is a graduate of Mission High, where he was outstand- ing on the football field. From Mission he went to the University of California, where he graduated in 1934, after live years' background of physical education and hygiene. He has been teaching at Balboa for seven years, mainly as gym teacher. This is his first sponsorship of a senior class. Mr. Haas took over when the class was in its high-ten term. His counselling of many senior students enables him to find out the desired activities on a confiden- tial basis. Mr. Haas is also coach of the 110's and 120's basketball teams and coach of the varsity baseball. He does a fine job of both of these. Since he has been sponsor, the class has had three dances and the junior Prom, besides two cake sales. He thinks the students got a very good buy on their senior sweaters.
