March of the Class of' 38 In any adventure or achievement there must be, of course, a beginning and an ending. So the senior class of '38 began its great adventure in the year 1935. At that time, about seventy-five timid, ambitious, scared and wide- awake, Greenhorns entered the realms of a high school career. To make the first step on the rung of their climb up the ladder of a high school adventure, they elected Dick Reedy president of the class, Edgar Sutton as vice-president, and Doris Way as secretary. With this combination of leadership the class pushed forward to gain glory and fame in the eyes of the faculty and fellow students of Bonita. The Freshman English class carried out a most enjoyable and successful picnic in the park, to be followed later in the year by a rip-roaring skating party. Not only did this class enter into the social strata of the school, but they gave their ability in athletics to the service of the coaches too. As they were a little small for varsity teams, they devoted their attention to the smaller teams. Five of the class were lettermen on the C football team. Many others entered into the glory of football, but they were unable to gain a letter. Next to follow was the basketball season and also, as in football, the names of freshmen stood out with such members as Iohn Haines and Melvin Ganger on the B team. Six were on the C team and five were on the D team. All three of these teams were Tri-county champs too. From basketball the class set their attention to track and baseball. Only one fellow was skillful enough to rate a berth on the varsity team in track, but five of the class were on the BU point team. On the baseball team we find eight freshmen representatives out for this sport. So from looking over the records, you will easily see that as freshmen, this class was a good representation of Bonita. Then came a big moment in the life of a freshman-the jump upward to the sophomore year. The first trying problem to face this group was leadership, but this was nobly taken care of in the election of Iohn Baranger as president, Pauline Sfle Russell as vice-president, Iames Arnaz as secretary, and Ray Flader to take care of the huge sums of money. As Sophomoresithey spread out their talent in numerous fields of endeavor at Bonita. The first cry am the high school was for representatives for the Bonita Echo and to this cause the class furnished two. They took a very active part in the clubs of the school also. The Ir-Hi-Y was composed wholly of sophomores, numbering twenty-one in all, with Art Snell as president and Robert Mills as secretary. ln the Press Club we find one member, in the Lettermen's club four members, and in the students who were capable of using their brains, the Scholarship Society, we furnished three. As usual you will find the names of our class members in the sports limelight. For C football there were nine out, for varsity football three, for varsity basketball two, and this was the team that was able to fight its way to the top and play in the Southern California Play-offs.
