The Senior Class IRST in school spirit, first incooperation, and first in leadership-this spirit marked the senior class of 1929. The seniors, this year, originated and sponsored the movement- for adopting a standard seal for the senior class ring. The student body has decided to use this yearis ring for the next four years, thus doing away with the annual agony of selecting a class ring. ' The first dance of the school year was given by the senior class on the evening of December seven. On November ninth, the seniors presented their first program. Dr. Strong of Stanford University spoke to a large and attentive audience on the subject of entering college and the demands of college work. He afforded much amusement by relating interesting anecdotes of college life. Not only have the seniors made a good scholastic record, but they have won honors on the gridiron, track field, baseball diamond, basketball and tennis courts. Veterans like George, Puccinelli, Cipolla, Howard, Deem, Davis, and Perkins, have contributed much to the good showing Santa Clara High School has made in athletics. Although, the seniors failed to hold the interclass track cup, they were a close second to the victor- ious sophomores. On the third of May, the seniors challenged the faculty to two qmtests, one to be played between the senior boys and the men of the faculty, the other between the senior girls and the women faculty. The senior play, The Family Upstairs, a three-act comedy, turned out to be a one-act tragedy. The day before its presentation, the copyright holders notified Miss Coeke, the director, that the right of amateur production had been withdrawn in this vicinity, consequently the play could not be staged here. The seniors rallied from this shock and immediately began planning for another entertainment which could be worked up in a shorter time. With the assistance of many of the friends of the class and of the school, a clever vaudeville program was presented to a large and appreciative audi- encc. In May, when the seniors felt that they could no longer endure the confinement of study hall and class room, they sneaked away to Santa Cruz. Frolicing on the sand, swimming in the ocean, and lunching on the beach were among events of the day, not to mention getting sunburned. ' The class wishes to take this opportunity to thank their two advisors, Miss Coeke and Mr. Knaus, who have given so generously, their time and helpful advice in senior affairs.
