famous screen actress; and Lucille Doty and Ruth Lewis were popular society matrons in Norco. In answer to my friends questions, I said, “Yes, they are hei’e. Do you see those two aristocratic matrons on the front row? Who could be so enthused over a football game but Mabel Miller and Florence Hill? Yes, they are in the Orpheum circuit, as accompanist and soloist, respectively. A player was hurt and a huge ambulance hurried onto the field. The nurse and doctor turned out to be Nellie Busier and Carl Eastevedt, while Elmer Morse was driving the ambulance. Again my friend whispered, “As soon as the game is over I want you to drop into the ‘Dew Drop Inn’ Teashop with me. Florence Gully and Kathryn Cunningham are in charge of it.” The Corona team won the California championship, and the crowd gay because of the victory, slowly left the stadium. Over our tea cups “The Gay Writer” told me that the lady seated at the far table was Laura Pate, who was famous as a public librarian. Two members of the class were unaccounted for, Roy Gay and Lorin Farmer, and in reply to my query, I was told that they were now Cali- fornia senators. The question in my mind was answered : “Where, oh where, are the Grand Old Seniors? Safe now in the wide, wide, World.” ELIZABETH GLASS Fifteen

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY When first the class of 1928 entered the portals of Corona High School, the foresighted at once recognized in them a spark of genius not to be overlooked. The ensuing three years have more than fulfilled their expectations. As freshmen, the girls set a rapid pace in athletics by taking two out of the three possible class championship — baseball and volley-ball. Four of the girls received the school letter in baseball, and one girl received it in tennis. Two members of the class received the old Eng- glish “C” for debating, and the freshmen declamation took third place in Forensic. Social activities were not neglected. The class picnic, held at Cold- water, was a great success and was enjoyed by all who attended. And no less successful was the clever stunt presented by these freshmen before the Student Body at the annual rally. With the beginning of the second year, the boys of the class began to be prominent in the field of athletics. They won the “class C” inter- class track; one made the baseball team, and several of the boys of ’28 were members of the midget football squad. And at the end of the football season, the class was proud to be able to say that several of its members had received football letters. There is no doubt that the representatives of the class on the lightweight and midget basketball squads and the representatives in the Tri-county Track meet helped Corona High win honors. The girls, determined not to be outdone, again won the interclass baseball cup. Three of them made the school baseball team; four, the basketball team; and two, the tennis team. However, athletics did not hold the entire attention of the class, for it was victorious in the interclass debates and had five members on the school debate team, besides having time to enjoy a class picnic at Pick- ering Park and take leads in the operetta, “The Bells of Beaujolais.” This, the junior year, has been a marvelous success for the class of ’28. As a result of hard work and diligent practice on the part of those interested, the Junior class was represented this year on all the teams, both athletics and debate. But the most important event of the year to juniors is the Junior- Senior banquet, to be given on the evening of May 27. Very efficient and competent committees have been appointed and plans are rapidly being made, so that, judging from past records of the class and the interest shown in the affair, the banquet will be an event long to be remembered.
