FALL SENIOR OFFICERS FIRST ROW, left to right: Jeanne Cleverdon, John Hendricks. SECOND ROW: Ruth Hudgens, Jeannette Fong. WE REMEMBER . .. Drake's first graduating class has two distinct sets of memories. The first set, which is already growing dim, belongs to the three years we spent at Tam. We began our four years in high school with an orientation meeting in Mead Theatre. Soon after this we elected Mike McCone our first class president, and we made our acquaintance with all of Tam,s traditions such as the Tam News, Mrytle, the Tower Clock, assemblies in the sun in Mead Theatre, Pais, football and basketball games, and the Canteen. We remember our first Big Game, with Tam beating San Rafael 25 to 0. NPeg O' My Heart and 'flunior Missi' were the senior plays. Student body presidents Norm Snellgrove and Virginia Walker presided over assemblies and meetings. The first definite plans for a high school in San Anselmo were started, but the idea of the new school still seemed hazy and unreal. Our sophomore year, under class presidents Danny Johnson and Mike McCone, and student body prexies Weence Lewin and Hal Mooney, was very successful. We Won our second Big Game by defeating San Rafael 7 to 0, and began our pennant-winning basketball season by defeating Vallejo 41-5 to 33. We remember dancing in heaven or the Mother placev at the Junior Prom, 'Tly or Fry. We went to the senior plays, 6'The Late Christopher Bean and uThe Man Who Came to Dinner. Under our new principal, Harry Russell, and class presidents Mike McCone and John Hendricks, We helped make our Junior year uT3.II1,S Big Yearf, We soundly defeated San Rafael 53 to 0 in the Big Game and won second place in the basketball league when we lost a heartbreaking game with Vallejo.
