We remember walking through the front door' and becoming lost among the seeming millions, the boys sitting on the floor at assemblies and our first dance, The Superstition Stomp. After a summer at Searsville and the Teen-Tavern, we returned to our Latin and history. This was the year we defeated Burlingame in football. Also, the world was at last at peace. Before we knew it, we were upperclassmen looking down on the lowly Frosh and Sophs. The Sea Dream, our Prom, was our crowning achievement of the year. At last we attained the rank of high and mighty seniors. We maintained a busy calendar which was climaxed by Senior Ball and linx Day. And now we turn away from these memories, diplomas in hand, and open once more the front door, leaving these halls that we have learned to love, to go out into the world of our future.

In lltemol-ia Very often, in the course of time, we must do things that are so necessary, yet so unpleasant. It is now that I come to one of those short spaces of time, when I must do something that is difficult. This is not a story of the fall and spring semesters of 1947-48, for the finish was written in August of 1947, far before school had entered the mind of the main character of the story. This, in a way, is the final footnote to a life that was abruptly snuffed out on the highways of California, August 15, 1947. His tragic death ended the short but active life of a boy already recognized for scholastic achievement, participation in school activities, and promising writing ability. This boy was a member of the CSF, an outstanding journalist, a leader in the Iunior Statesmen, an award winner on the basketball team, and, a true friend for all who knew him. - It is with great sorrow that I ring down the curtain on this story of a great friend's life-for we all missed him. Here, on the pages of the Elm, his many friends would like to join in commemorating the memory of Thomas Lewin. Born-luly 25, 1930. Died-August 15, 1947.
