me Nh MISS ETHEL SIMPSON On january 14, the senior play, The Black Flamingo, was presented to a bulging house at the l'laza theater. This was a dandy play and was directed by liugene .X. de llermida, who with Miss jones, are the drama instructors. CLASS ACTIVITIES The most outstanding event of the senior year was the senior dance held at the Sacramento memorial auditorium on the evening of january 18. Florence Todd, vice president of the january senior class, and janet May, vice president of the june senior class, worked together as co-chairmen. This dance always is the outstanding social affair of the year and bearing this in mind in addition to the fact that previous senior classes have left such fine senior dance records, Florence and janet extended themselves to see that this year's affair was a banner one. Faculty as well as lucky students who were privileged to attend the affair are one in agreeing that the senior dance this year was one of the very finest ever planned and promoted by combined senior classes. During the low senior semester the january class in cooperation with the Cat that timej high junior class, staged a junior prom. The dance was known as The Goose Gallop and was under the leadership of the respective vice presidents of the two junior classes. This dance was talked and discussed for weeks- it was such a success. ' About the middle of the final semester in school for the hlanuaryites, the council members enjoyed a dance at the Willialtl Land Clubhouse. .Xlthough a group of officers in a class are responsible to a large extent for the success of that organization, much credit always should go to the sponsor. Miss Ethel Simpson has served as sponsor of this class from the time the Colonel de llermida had fine talent to work with and he demonstrated what happens when excellent talent is coached by an excellent student of dramatics--a wonderful play. During the high senior semester under the leadership of Eleanor Carli, two editions of the class paper The Yell Leader, were published. The papers were good, which was due to the fact that Eleanor was X-Ray editor and knew how to go about things because of her journalism training. Officers for the low senior semester were: Carter Kilborn, presidentg Eleanor Carli, vice presidentg Margaret Savage, secretary, and Barbara Wagner, treasurer. At graduation the officers of the class were: Eric Bathen, presidentg Florence Todd, vice presidentg Kirby Ryan, secretary, and Harriet Merwin, treasurer. students entered school as lowly low sophomores until their graduation as high seniors. Through- out the three year period Miss Simpson has devoted much of her time and effort toward aid- ing the class in every possible way. All the students of the class have learned to love and respect Miss Simpson for her kindly spirit and ever willingness to aid and cooperate in any project that was launched by the class. Of course, a sponsor cannot bring unqualified success to a class without any help, but a sponsor is in a position to look out for the best interests of those students in her charge and can accom- plish very much toward their happiness as an efficient and well-knit organization. It is hoped by the students who have learned to appreciate her that it will be the good fortune of other classes in the years to come to have an opportunity to utilize the talent and understand- ing manner of Miss Ethel Simpson. -21...

JIM KEARNY IUNE cLAss orrlcsks The June class of 1935 was one of the largest in the history of the school. Of course, quantity means nothing unless quality also is a part of the picture. Quantity and quality were a happy combination among the members of the latest class in the Sacra- mento senior high school to receive diplomas. Naturally one expects the leaders of the school to be members of the graduating class. Experience alone points to this fact and the June 1935 class was no exception. If one would care to look down the long roster of names of students who have done most for the student body, it will be found concentrated for the most part in this class. This does not mean that all student affairs and activities are under the guidance of the .Tune 1935 class. The same thing will hold true with each succeeding june or january graduating class. It is only natural that as the students add more semesters here at the school to their training that by the time they too, become high seniors, they will be the student leaders of the finest senior high school anywhere. Most of the peppers, pepperettes, influential class council representatives, athletes, public speakers, et cetera, were members of the graduat- ing class. Serious inroads will be made on athletic teams of the school when the june class marches to the stage to receive their diplomas from the president of the city board of education. But that is generally as it has been in past years, and probably will be true in the future. The June class realizes that when another fall term rolls around, a change will have been made at the senior high school. That change will mean that a new group of student leaders have replaced them. june 1935 wishes them success! The officers of the june class during the first semester of senior-hood were as follows: Vincent Lemmon, president, janet May, vice presiclentg Antoinette Jones, secretary' Dan Cameron, treasurer. 7 The graduating officers of the class are: jim Kearny, presidentg Dan Cameron, vice president, Jessie-June Myrick, secretary, Albert Hamilton, treasurer. Because of the fine calibre of students enrolled in the june class it has freely been predicted by teachers as well as others who have come in contact with them, that the group of young men and women in this organization are destined to go far. It is rather hard to look upon a group of fine boys and girls and realize that some day many of them will be in the most vital and prominent positions in Sacramento and the nation as well in only a few short years. However, this is as natural as day following night and even at this early date teachers have been able to do many things for these boys and girls. things that will remain with them for a lifetime. What we learn in school has a great deal to do with what the world does for us in the years to come. It is hoped that most of the students in the June class realize this and it is certain that much credit and thanks have been extended to the men and women who have taught us during our pleasant three year stay in dear old Sacramento senior high school. Good luck to the students now in high school who some day will appear on the platform to receive their coveted diplomas and good luck to the teachers who guided us so well! ..23-
