We became active in many student body activities under student body prexies Bill Maddox and Dave Chamberlain, and had a very successful Junior Prom, wfhe Cotton Ball? We remember dancing at the Girls' Association dance, '4April in Paris and the unforgettable Letterman dance '6Hawaiian Holiday, laughing at MYou Can't Take It With Youf' 6'Out of the Frying Pan, the Letterman-Faculty game, the Faculty Frolics, and the Senior Farewell. As the year ended, we began to realize how much we would miss everything and everyone at Tam. But in spite of these realizations, we still looked forward to our senior year at Drake. Our second set of memories belongs to another world, our senior year at Drake. We began our last year feeling just as lost as we did when we were freshmen, but we soon learned our way around and in a few weeks the wonderful Drake spirit had been built up with the solving of the many problems that went along with the new and different facilities of our still uncompleted school. With the guidance of student body presidents Mike McCone and Jo Ann Meredith, and class president John Hendricks, we spent much of our time organizing activities, writing and passing con- stitutions, and making traditions. But our senior year wasn't all spent in solving problems, and we had a lot of fun at Drake. The dances were always well attended and we remem- ber the overwhelming success of the MWitches Waltz, the costumes of the uSadie Hawkins Danz and the G'Melody Masquerade, the beautiful decorations at 46Stairway to the Stars and G'Bright Lights of Broadway. We were well entertained at the senior plays, Pink Magicw and uNight Must Fall. Our spirit showed at the basketball games when we yelled for a win- ning team and at our football games when we yelled just as loudly for a losing team. Our last year was Drake's first year and we will always remember how we helped to start all its traditions. FIRST ROW, left to right: Carol Hosmer, Mary Jane Mallett.

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.
