d iii i j r u D 5 11 rs shouting school yells and threats to Santa Rosa ' s team. The huge bonfire, result of several days ' work, was lighted with fitting ceremony by the two co-captains of the home team. As the flames finally plunged the figure of Santa Rosa from the top of the bonfire, a sky-rocket was shot off and the program began. Yells and songs filled the intervals between skits, as well as intro- duction of team members from both Junior Colleges and pep talks from other notables. As the program ended and the flames of the ence Hurst was elected Vice-President ; Bar- bara Bentley, Treasurer; and Sid Carter, Yell Leader. In the final election Bob Coover defeated Doug Schwartz for President, and Maxine McElroy defeated Betty Griffin for the office of Secretary. In the regular Stu- dent Body election Luther Ogawa had been elected Thirteenth Year Representative to the Junior College Student Body Commis- sion. The Freshmen do not talk too much about Field Day, for in spite of their clean sweep bonfire began to burn low, music from the gym announced that dancing was next in order. Prizes were awarded during the dance for the best pajama costumes of the men, women, and couples. The strains of Home Sweet Home brought to an end the first Pajamarino and bonfire rally ever to be held at the Junior College, probably the beginner of a glorious tradition, and certainly a gay and successful event. Skits were under the direction of Jane Vincent, Winifred Kin- cannon, Valance Heinsen, and Florence Hurst; the bonfire committee was headed by Harold Peters. Jumping ahead through final exams to the Spring Semester activities of the Thir- teenth Year Class, we find first the election of new officers. In the primary ballot Flor- rst Maxine McMlroy in the boxing tournaments, the muddy events proved their downfall, and the Sophomores stole the honors of the day. On- lookers called the day a draw, however, in considering the amount of mud acquired by the members of the two opposing teams. Revenge for this defeat was finally gained, though, when the Thirteenth Year Class met and defeated members of the Fourteenth Year Class in an inter-mural track meet that was run off on April 22nd on the High School field. The Thirteenth Year Class was outstand- ing in all athletic contest. For that matter, not only were the great majority of men out for athletic competition during the year from the Freshman Class, but Thirteenth Year men figured prominently in the suc- cesses of the teams.
