As you leave Dana to take up your work in high school, I wish to thank you for the three interf esting and enjoyable years I have had as your counselor. Congratulations to you and the best of everything' in the future. A. D. Davis, Counselor The sixth graders came in from schools nearby. While we journeyed on to Point Loma High, We'll feel like punks among' those Pro's. But we'll get acquainted as the time goes. HUNDRED QUEEN This paper couldn't have gone to press without this article, It's a secret to the person it's about and she probably thinks we've forgotten her! The personality is Pat Medina, Queen of the Portuguese Fiesta. As she slowly walked to St. Agnes Church to be crowned May 24, everyone in the crowd was en- tranced by the warm smile that never left her face. She wore a white formal of pleated nylon net. Her long, white cape of brocaded silk, with high collar, was fastened around her neck by a sparkling rhinestoiite choker. One of her sidemaids was 9th grader, Mary Jane Dutra and one of the four Vauda girls was an- other 9th grader, Mary Elardi. The fiesta extended into sev- eral days and nights, but Pat re- mained her charming, wonderful self, We're sure you'll agree that this honor couldn't have gone to a more deserving person!

JUNE 17, 1953 , THE MAST PAGE 5 IDEAL TEACHER Ninth grade students have chosen various qualities which they think are represented in an ideal teacher.

Davis Mrs. Blair Fairness Mr. Dolphin Mrs. Holland Disposition Mr. Young Miss Lane Patience Mr. Lei- Mrs. Bourke Appearance Mr, lflxfm- Miss Davis Ability to Teach M r.

Stansifer Miss Smiley Smile Mr. Lewis Mrs. Van Buren lndividuality Mr. Hand Mrs. Hage Friendliness Mr. Gardiner Miss Georgia Discipline Mr. Tooze WILL DUPEY PASS? The clock ticks ominously. A figure paces the floor anxiously waiting. The ash trays are filled with used bubble gum and wrap- pers are strewn on the floor. The clock approaches zero hour! The sound of chattering' teeth fills the room, Then with a deafening crack Dopey Dan Dana's knees start shaking! Yes, for the 11th time Dopey has reached 9th grade gradua- tion and just as for the past 10 times, he's 'ta little concerned , But now the 9th graders enter the assembly all the girls wear- ing fresh spring dresses, all the boys wearing white shirts and dark pants. EEYOW! Did we say ALL the boys. Dopey, wearing a well padded chartreuse and orange coat with pants to match and a bright red tie, strolls into the auditorium. Fm just trying' to be modern, says Dan, The salesman told me I'd look radio- active in it. The students are seated and the promotional exercises begin. While the speeches are being' spoken, Dan sits back nonchalant- ly chewing his finger nails but as the trophies are given out Dan starts fretting nervous. He be- eins twitching-from seat to seat. The tension really starts mount- ing when the Honor Awards are given out. Peagreens On Parade The future seventh grade was entertained here Friday. There were about 750 sixth graders re- presenting 1O schools. The program began in the audi- torium where the beginning, in' termediate, and advanced bands entertained the guests. Then the audience was addressed by Mr. Swenson and other members of the faculty. Later they went out to the field to play games Where they were surprised hy the ninth graders that volunteered to help. To finish the days acti- vities, the sixth graders were tak- en on a tour of the school and given ice cream in the cafeteria. After Dan has been strapped down, the diplomas of graduation are given out in alphabetical or- der, First the A's. Dan has set- tled down to foaming at the mouth. The B'sg Dopey is making fun- ny noises and getting a little fid- yzety. The C'sg Dan is egetting violent, They have to hold him down. Finally Mr. Swenson starts reading the D's. Will he cull Dan's name? LVill Dan finally graduate? lt's now or never! Everybody is on the edge of their seats! The assembly became chillingly quiet. The suspense is unbearable VVe wish we could tell you what happened but we've no more room so be sure to road next year's Mast to find out if Dopey Dan Dana passed.
