Fall Class of 1945 ularly seniors, explore dry goods emporiums rebounding with blindingly bright plaid shirts, flashy shoes, anklets, levis, suntans and slacks. Senior students were very active in journalism then as com- pared to today. The Senior Edition for each term was completely taken over by the Senior class. Every edition of the school's paper contained classified ads. In fact, The Mission probably con- tained more ads of this nature than any other paper in the city. Gossip columns were literally unheard ofg the only mention of school incidents being under School Notes. Student Body Cards were not known in those days. The classes in order to earn money for socials held annual candy sales. The only class of Mission today which is still to benefit by a social is the senior class which holds its dance once a term in order to ease the expenses ofthe Senior Prom.

Roaming jakes of today enjoy sunshine basking at Lake Tamescal Beach and, if a friend with a car is around, visit Searsville, Fairfax, Wiilntit Creek and the Rus- sian River area. Privilege of eating lunch on the front stairs was allowed to boys onlyg all girls enjoyed their lunch in the enclosure of the girls' court. For the past two years only, have the girls been allowed the freedom of the front stairs, lawns, and Dolores Park. just as we stand for the extreme styles sported by our dappers, so did ninety-sixers tolerate their dandies' attempt to imitate the very latest fashions. The Wl1ite Vest Trio, well-known quip- sters of the day caused comments and laughs by endeavoring to present themselves as dashing clothes horses.
