K! 9 l i .ia 5 i F 435-N. t 44 Class History N September eleventh we started our eareer i11 the lhmsmuir lligh School thirty strongx We were quite proud ot' ourselves when we learned we represented about one-third of the student body. Sinee then we have lost a few of our members but others have eome to take their plat-es. 'l'he upper elass students gave us a few weeks to adjust ourselves to our new environment and then informed ns that we were to be duly initiated. 'l'he day arrived and we were ridieulously attired for the annual parade. We were marehed up and down the streets so that all the people might gaze upon us. Vllhen night eame a party was given us and our initiation was eompleted, mueh to our delight. Soon after this big' event we held a meeting to set a date for our return party. Plans were made and tl1e date was sueeessfully set. Un the twenty-seventh ot' Uetober, just before llalloween, we gave our llalloween party. It was our first attempt and we worked hard to make it a sueeess. 'l'he upper elass students seemed to enjoy it and we hope they had as mueh fun as we freshies did. When the basketball season opened we were unable to take rnueh part in the league games, but some of us were fortunate enough to be choosen as subs. W'e organized our own teams and played the Gram- mar sehool teams. The freshmen boys won some of the games and the girls every game. 'l'he girls also won some praetiee games from the first team of the high sehool. During' the baseball season we took a more aetive part. Several of us were seleeted for the first team. Our elass president was ehosen as the girls' piteher and she is surely a first r-lass one. 'We haveu't made a great reeord this year. but remember we are only freshies. Next year we will show you we exeel in quality as well as quantity. Nineteen

Editorial I B E started this year with much enthusiasm and a good, active staff was selected to print this book. We managed to supply our local paper with some school news each week and looked forward to the day when actual work would start. lt swiftly rolled around and found us Wonder- ing what to do. N o one had had any past experience with a year book, but we went ahead, learning a few things on the way. However, things began to go wrong. One member of our staff went away and the others being, as I say, an active bunch, in a small school like ours, joined in every activity while interest in our work waned. Time passed and suddenly we realized that we had just two weeks left before the date set to go to press. At that time our operetta was re- quiring the attention of all of us so another week passed. After the oper- etta we began work in earnest and accomplished much, but one Week was not enough. We were forced to take two more. Consequently this book was issued late. With more time and what we have learned about it we know we could print a better book but this time you will have to QXOUSB IIS. Our Location SITUATED in the scenic canyon of the Sacramento river, at the very heart of Shasta 's Wonderland, we challenge any. school to equal us in scenery and natural advantages. Directly north of us stands Mount Shasta, world-famed for its beauty and majestic splendor. It is an ex- tinct volcano, covered with snow the year round which in melting fur- nishes us with the pure, cold water which has been correctly termed, The best water on earth. Five living glaciers are still sculpturing its dome and in the past ages many have reached down from their snowy reservoirs to perform their useful work for man. i South of us loom the Castle Clrags, so close that we have taken 'tflrag Echoes as a fitting name for this book. The massive beauty of the Crags cannot be imagined. They tower thousands of feet in the air and extend several miles along the ridge. Uomposed of white granite and glistening in the sunlight they never fail to give the onlooker an im- pression of beauty and awe. We are surrounded by many wonderful summer resorts which offer unnulnbered pleasures to the tourist. The best known is probably the world famous Shasta Springs. Near here are numerous mineral springs and wonderful streams. The Moss Brae falls are very close and talked of everywhere. T Shasta Retreat, Ney 's Springs. Upper Soda, Castle Urags, and Nut- glade Springs are also situated near us and attract hundreds to them during the summer months. Twenty-one
