The Madrono The Class of 1926V2 Hollowing the precedent established by the class of 1925K, the class of 1926 held its simple graduation exercises at a student body assembly on the afternoon of February 4. In the winter of 1923 about twenty-five new freshmen entered Paly High and with great hopes and aspirations started forth on their high school education under the sym- pathetic guidance of Miss Nelson. During the following four years many changes were made in the personnel of the class, as some members moved away, others became even more ambitious than they had been and went ahead a half year or more, while some had lost sight of their first ambitions and had fallen behind, until at graduation only two of the original members were seated on the platform. Four of the members must be mentioned with the others because they had had a special graduation before the winter vacation and had gone on to college. Among our number we can name several athletes who are well known to Paly people. Sandy Smith and Bob Blois brought honors to Paly's swimming teams as divers. Clarence Toney and Edward Crady played tennis for Paly, while Herbert Keeble and Kenneth Peterson played football. To Elinor Rittler and Marian Russell must go some honors in girls’ tennis. May we not forget to number among our bright lights the names of Francis Winner and John Lancaster who were always willing to entertain and who were well able to do it. Because of the size of the class, and because we belong to the mid-year, our accomplish ments have not been the big things which will be placed in Paly's annals to be a guide for the students to come, but we have done to the best of our ability those little things which after all, are as necessary as the big, and we hope we have not shirked our task. Some of us are going to college, some to work, and some are still undecided but, whatever we do, we want to thank Miss Nelson, Mrs. Horine, Miss Clary, Miss Hun- tington, Mr. Grinstead, Mr. Florcken, and Miss McCausland for the help that they have given us. We owe a lot to them and to Paly High and we are going to do our best to make the name of Paly a good one. The class of 1926 wishes the best of luck to all Paly High students, and especially to the new mid-year freshmen that take our place. Marion Burke, '26 2.
