CARL ALBER Plzysic'al supremacy was 121': goal. FLORENCE GRIBBLE SIM delilm'atcs lzcr every word and action. F RED PAULSON Hi5 clowning was a welcome 121': of lawening. Hi-Lights of 195. The 1934-1935 gratluates of San Mateo high had a roaring Alumni Day yester- day, June 12, 1950. Everybody was there including the wives, hubbies, and littleiuns. The fun began at 8:30 in the morning at breakfast which was served in the main dining salon of the Ben. Sitting on my left was NOLA YODER, who told me about a neat house party EDGAR W'OOD had just given at his summer place; among the guests were PAT WILSEY and MERVYN LUSARRETA, SALLY WARREN and HUBBY, and bachelors LESLIE WILLIAMS, FRED WELCH, WALLACE WATERHOUSE, BOB ROBERTSON, and GORDON JACK- SON. GORDON started a Ere in the garage-still iiarsonii around. I heard that AL VANDENBOSlS young son swallowed a penny, but AL let him keep it because it was the Kids birthday. W'INIFRED STETSON asked me what a kiss on the ear means. I said it seemed plain enough that the girl had dodged. LILYAN POSEY and BILL CREIGHTON sat and blinked at each other, tshould I say winkedy during the whole meal . . . BUCK BEVIER had a cold in the head; well, thatis something anyway . . . It is rumored that LEONARD FRANK and P. I. HOPKINS are that way about each other . . . MIMI HENv NING has bought a dachshund for her children so they could all pet it at the same time. A little bird tFLORENCE GRIBBLEI told me that the alumni were holding a track meet at 10 oielock. So I got in my VvZ roadster and drove to MeConville Field. The first event of the day was the two-mile run; run by the fat ladies 0 could mention some names here but I know that discretion is the better part of valorl. Just before lunch everybody went in for a swim. CAMERON PIERCE did a beautiful high dive, so high that he hadnit come down yet when the meet was over. PHILIP WARREN also went for a swim but he forgot to close his mouth and the pool was drained in two minutes. Somebody started a game of water .polo, the Reds: MARION ALLEN, BETTY KOEHLER, GERTRUDE BARNES and JUNE BLACKFORD, against the Blues: BILL KERR, CARL ALBER and GEORGE BACHERT. The Reds won the game by lifair play. The prize was one of Miss Hedriekls old grade hooks. During luncheon word was passed around that there was going to be a party that night at MARGARET HARRISONTS; so of course we all planned to go 1lsansii wives or husbands. IWAO BANDO asked ASAKO FUJIWARA what was the matter with the chicken soup. ASAKO said she thought they had a hard time keeping the chicken in the pot. After the noise from the soup had receded, the speakers were brought forth. ALYCE BLOOM gavea talk on lfHow T T T T TT T . T T T T T- - T T T 1- .WVxMr'foVW M F ..
