IF S OME wise Greek Philosopher once said, “If is a small word with a large meaning.” But how large a meaning? Knowing that “If” is “If”, we, the grand and glorious Seniors humbly submit this perplexing “If.” If Wesley Gwin became street cleaner at Prado?

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’29 rr »HE Senior Class of 1929 has just completed a four years ' course in the Corona High School with a record that has surpassed that of any class in previous years. Each school activity including every outdoor sport, dramatics, debating, inter-school commercial contests, and social f unctions has found a leader from the senior class. And nov the grand old seniors are fading out of the picture only to aim at higher marks. Beginning as green little freshmen that class had numbered among its many stu- dents several members who participated in the outstanding activities. Robert Bailey, one of Corona’s greatest athletes, made a letter in class “B basket ball, Leroy Carroll made a letter in baseball as first string catcher, and Mildred Verner began her high school as an all around athlete. In the second year, as sophomores, the members of the class took part in a great number of activities. Leroy Carroll again made his letter in baseball and was cap- tain of the team. Bailey made the baseball, basketball, football, and track teams this year. The basketball team won the league championship. Jack Hughes, Marshall Veach and Fred Miller made the boys’ tennis team, while Mildred Verner played for the girls. Arthur Reed, Gilbert Nutter, Ernest Serrano, and Jack Hughes did their share in helping the midget basketball team win. Art and Gib also played midget football. The following year the juniors had three members on the six-man tennis team, and two girls on the girls’ championship team. Robert Bailey made the championship class A basketball team. Two more juniors made the class “B” basketball team. In this year one junior made four letters and did the same thing in his senior year The baseball team’s pitcher and relief pitcher were both juniors. Not to be outdone the girls of the class stepped out and won the interclass hockey. It was also a junior girl, Mildred Andrews, who won the girl’s novice tennis tourna- ment. One of the most important events of the school year is the annual senior play. Last year the seniors announced that they “showed their intelligence and good judg- ment in selecting a really literary play, “The Admirable Crichton. However the seniors of this year chose a comedy centered upon one of the most popular of all boy characters, Penrod. With almost one half of the class represented in the cast, the production was unanimously credited with being the most colorful and well-staged senior class entertainment ever staged in the Corona High School. It was even sug- gested that the play be given a second time to accommodate those who missed the original showing. Out of four members of the debating team two were seniors. Catherine Fitch took first place in the shorthand contest held in Beaumont, while Hazel Whittinghill took second and Meda Green, fourth. With this enviable record behind them the seniors leave, wishing Corona High School the best of success. Fred Miller. Fifteen

The hoys of the Junior Class have made an outstanding record in athletics. They placed first in the inter-class track meet on March 1, which rank was made possible by the support of Ed Bellringer, Felix Robles, Frank Atzet, Arthur Mickel, and Dick Zilioli.

Algy Unruh, Felix Robles, Clifford Stark, Laurance Hanna and Edwin Hill played on the school football team. Algy Unruh has been chosen as next year’s foot- ball captain. The girls also have an outstanding record. June Berg, Helen Plymate, Virginia Paxton, Hazel Lillibridge, and Ruth Turner were members of the basketball team. Helen Plymate made the school tennis team. Jack Hallgren, Arthur Mickle, and Cedric McNutt were on the school debating team and Lois Adams was coach for the Seniors and Sophomores. Lois Adams was editor of the annual. Our work has not only been recognized in the field of athletics but also in scholarship. The twelve juniors in the Scholarship Society this year are Lois Adams, Elizabeth Campbell, Mary Clark, Ed Hill, Pearl Lewis, Virginia Paxton, Helen Ply- mate, Otis Ruth, Thelma Thatcher, Jose Yenez, Marie and Marion Hay. At the annual high school Rally the junior stunt featured the discovery of America by Columbus. We sincerely believe that the Junior-Senior banquet which is the most eagerly anticipated social events of the junior year will prove as successful as have been our previous entertainments. Seventeen
