44 44 C4 44 C4 44 The Jrgonauts Senior Class History On August 25, 1930, twenty-four sturdy pioneer children entered the portals of the Bret Harte Union High School. What a cruel world this seemed to us then! We were always mindful of our su- periors, the high and mighty upperclassmen. Naturally we were new at the game, a fact which won for us the title of green freshies. Never- theless, we were determined to face whatever obstacles came into our paths. We had set out to Hnd a fortune, a career, and did not intend to have anything interfere with our plans. In a very short time, under the supervision of Miss Jeckell, we had become more accustomed to our new surroundings. We organ- ized with the following ofiicers to see us through our first year in the struggle to gain success: President Ambrosia Colendichg vice-presi- dent, Catherine Monte Verdag secretary-treasurer, Annabel Redding. The first thing of importance that occurred in that year was our invitation to the Freshman Reception, which was to be given in our honor. Naturally we were quite thrilled as this was to be our first public appearance. Well, the time came for the party, and what an ordeal! Spectators were more than supplied with thrills and laughs at the expense of the frosh. That over, things began to go along more smoothly as we were really part of the organization, now that we had been full'y initiated. Although we were still looked upon as mere freshies, we were becoming more and more acquainted with our elders and they weren't such a bad sort after all. About the beginning of the second semester, we became quite brave and gave candy sales in order to raise suliicient funds to be used for a thank you party to be given to the sophomores. Since it was near St. Patrick's Day we selected a theme appropriate for the occasion. The party proved to be a success, and after that event we were on very congenial terms with the sophomores. just as we were becoming better acquainted with our superiors, the term ended and We bade the seniors farewell. Our next step upward brought us to the sophomore year which commenced on August 31, 1931, with twenty-six workers ready to start the ball rolling. For this year we had elected the following of- ficers: President, Vivian Lillieg vice-president, Catherine Monte Verdag secretary-treasurer, Nadine Carter and Mamie Sayer. To start the mill, we put the frosh through the same grind that .we had gone through. Then we gave them the necessary reception and be- came acquainted with them. As in the previous year our activities in sports and dramatics continued. The few boys that our class boasted of brought in several honors. ...gf g ig..-

ThE fff1 g07Z6lutS :J an an :J an sv In the spring of the second semester we were invited to attend a party given in our honor by the frosh. Games, music, and dancing constituted the entertainment of the evening. But June eventually came, and found us bidding another class good-bye. After three months of leisure, we formed a new camp. This one we had been anticipating for two years, thinking that we would find richer diggings here, however, one must work up. The title we now held was that of jolly juniors, carrying as our ofiicers the following: President, Mamie Sayer, vice-president, Venus Shrumg secretary- treasurer, Thelma Benigarg Girls' League executive, Vivian Lillie, Student Council members, Raulin Lagomarsino and Catherine MonteVerda. One of our class members, Frances Bonfilio, was elect- ed to the office of vice-president of the student body. We belonged to the upperclassmen group now, much to our delight. We have recollections of many good times spent with the seniors. On May 19, 1933, we decided to give the senior class a farewell party. We took them to the theater where we saw the picture Match King . After the show we all boarded a bus and went to Melones where we attended a dance. About a week later the seniors retaliated and held a swimming party at Murphys in our honor. Underneath all our joy there was a certain amount of sadness as we were aware of the fact that this was the last gathering of the two classes. On June 8 we bade the seniors adios and again retired for three months. August 28, 1933 brought us back to the old grind again, holding the honor of being seniors. This year our class had as oilicersz Presi- dent, Joyce Kurtz, vice-president, Veola Thorpe, secretary-treasurer, Venus Shrumg Student Council members, Vivian Lillie and Raulin Lagomarsino. What a short time it seems since we began our toil to achieve that which awaited us as seniors! As this Annual goes to the press, the cast is busy rehearsing the class play Skidding . Aided by the pro- ceeds of this play we anticipate a grand Sneak Day, on which we will probably go to Yosemite Valley. After our return, we shall walk down the aisle of the assembly hall, to the swelling notes of Pomp and Circumstancef' as we go forward to receive our diplomas for which we have been striving. Now we must say good-bye, it is not without sor- row that we leave the place and people who have been so dear to us. To our teachers and all who have helped us, we extend our heart- iest thanks and hope that this is not good-bye forever. CATHERINE MONTEVERDA '34. -..Ei 9 ig...
