O QQ of first SAILOBS END VOYAGE ' The year of l936 found a group of boys and girls, shy but ambitious, wandering through the cabins and over the decks, getting their first glimpse of the good ship Brea-Olinda. lt was soon discovered that this class was outstanding in all lines of activity. Qur football team of '39 placed second in the county league. Bobby Ball was the yell leader for three years and Shirley Beckman and Virginia Smith were the song leaders for two years, assisted by Bill Adams the last year. Several members of this class made up a large part of the scholar- ship society. They were Frances Bickle, Eunice Wilson, Mayme Ruth Iohnson, and Anita Yriarte, Whose absence from school is regretted by all her classmates. Marie Nay, Kenneth Laing, Marian Budd, Carl Senn, and Buck Blair represented the musical talent of the class by holding the leads in the school operettas for two consecutive years. Buck Blair was also very popular for his ability to swing-out on the drums. Phyllis Inge amused everyone with her readings with the band, and Bill Adams was the talk of the school for his comedy roles in the class plays. The artistic ability of the class was shown in the decorations that served as a background for the dances given by this class during their four years aboard the ship. Three seniors were Winners in the annual poppy poster contest this year. They were Ardelle Wilson, Esther Per- dew, and Hazel Paschal. Phyllis White was art editor of the '39 Gusher.
