As in the experience of many a dreamer the visions began with the day's excitement, and drifted back through the years. They relived the thrill of yesterday's graduation-pen formed for parents and friends in the afternoon-and the morning rehearsal for the B-9's to see and anticipate their own program one semester away. The dream shifted back to the Awards Assembly of January 23, with its recognition of all worthy service, and to the Installation of January 13, when the Class of Winter '50 turned over to new officers-the stewardship of the school. And back further still to the elections of January 6-to the visits of counselors from Dorsey, from Los Angeles, from Polytechnic high schools, all with their plans, their maps of the future for A-9's of today. They saw themselves again in the stirring moments of the A-9-B-9 football game of December 14-the exciting score, 6-2. They saw themselves in the gaiety of their A-9 Tea Dance, the bright clothes, the guests, the conference, and the joyous time in the gym afterwards. They remembered the officers they had chosen to lead their class in November, and remembered them with pride, Marty Berman, their president, Marion Megrdichian, their vice-president, and Dorothy Duke, their secretary and treas- urer. They thought of the early class meetings and the first awareness of their A-9 status.
