tlze Golton way After five hours of making cherry blossoms seniors showed signs of mental slippage; Terry Harrell faced the same situation when she tried to secure a band and program for the junior-senior prem . . . .After many hours of making crepe paper streamers, hanging Chinese lanterns, and erecting a wishing well, one of the chi- chiest proms sent the seniors out with a glamorous afterglow. . . . Argumentative John Cherry led Vice-President Barry Koch, Secre- tary Cherry Brickey, Treasurer Fanny May Bradley, and Program Chairman Terry. Harrell through a maze of merry situations. . . . Henry Kaiser, Pat Parmer, Mondola Sherrill, Sally Reyman, Fannv May Bradley, and Betty Brown were elated to find that their A and B reputations waltzed them into the junior guards of honor at graduation. . . .Now, four years later, with Barry iiCuddles Koch, prexy, Johnny Greenwood, Jean Allen, Jean Graham. and Don Matthews composing a high voltagecabinet, we take off for limitless horizons. . . .Humbly, the new juniors admitted abso- lute defeat at our hands at the exciting and breathtaking football rally in September, 1944. . . .War production made it almost im- possible for us to obtain class rings, but we ordered them and hoped to wear them for our brilliant finale, graduation. . . .Treas- urer Jean Allen lived in constant fear that her money wouldnit check out with aer figures. Jean nobly resisted the Machiavel- ilan temptation proffered by Vice-President Johnny Greenwood, her inseparable companion. . . .Do you remember how we fever- ishly scraped our empty purses and pockets searching for that last dime or quarter that would outbid the determined juniors for the stamp-bedecked tank at the bond assembly? Johnny Creenwood's hands, already full, welcomed the treasured bits of silver, while anticipatory Jerry Silvers ran up and down in front of the senior section soliciting money. . . .loining the mock nobility of our class, Penny Princess Cherry Brickey, Queen of May Dot Troy, King of Fools Norman Galloway, and Bob Alvarez, in a slightly exaggerated version of Carmen Miranda, reigned over the comi- cally arrayed crowd at the Senior Dress-up Valentine dance. . . . We felt the dreaded impact of war when Bill Macias, Bob Alvarez, Leland Allison, Don Carlson, David Brush, Rudy Aguilera, Tony Castro, Lloyd Graves, Gonzalo Puentes, and Tirso Serrano were called to colors.

Many of us used all of our energy in a fast tempo as members of the Pepper Bough, and learned to know Miss Clark and Mr. McIntosh. . . .Gay times, as well as gaining further experience in journalism, were ours during Youth Week when the job of editing the Courier fell on our shoulders. . . .That was the first year we could really prove that our class had actors. 11Ladies of the Jury,1 was presented on the night shift with Elaine May and Bill Sharp starring. . . .Funds for the class treasury were greatly increased when the PTA.
