Of I Aid vl C' f l'hank you, Lee, said Mr. Gldest Grad. Poor Bill, here. has been patiently waiting for an opportunity to boast about his Freshman Class. liveryone likes to dance. stated Bill. 'l'hat is why our Patriotic Dance, with Russ fol- well's orchestra, given on May 16th. was such a success. Hill McCarthy. president during the second semester, and Charles Lavin during the first semester. have been our leaders. John O'l3rien. vice-presidnet: Lillie Mocabee. secretary. and our council members have represented our class admirably. The boys have taken part in all sports with the exception of tennis. I am positive our athletes will star on many teams next year. Miss Coggins and Mr. Haselden haye been our class advisors and we wish to extend to them our appreciation for their services. ,Xddressing Mr. Oldest Grad. Marilyn said: You have seen all of the classes. .Xre there any questions you would like to ask ? No, thank you, Marilyn. I believe l will be able to see all of your activities during ad- visory period and at other times during my stay here. Time for lunch in our new cafeteria. said Mr. Narsters. I.et's go. J 1 Psychologists tell us that there are in every person from two to ten billion nerve centers tneuronesl. each capable of holding the ele- ment of an idea. They also say that each indi- vidual will die with probably nine-tenths of the precious depots empty. This should give an idea to those who think they are not of the gifted type. XYhat if you are not gifted? .Xll you have to do is to get busy and get. say. one-half of your neurones charged and connected and you need not worry about competing with superior men and wo- men: you will be superior. Remember that ability is cumulative. lf one should open a book on mathematics he would be dazed by the apparent immensity of its con- Pagc 16 tents. It would seem to be something beyond the compass of his mind. But if he takes one proposition or formula at a time and masters it. he will be surprised that the next step seems to come to him easily, and so on until he has mas- tered the book: and then another and another mathematical work will be approached and mastered until he has sounded perhaps the whole of mathematical science. and that with- out injury to his once bewildered mind. So it is with other mental accimmplishments. Step by step, the mind can attain unbelievable masteries, and unimagined accumulation of or- ganized knowledge, Dokoruy Cionwuzn, Dean of Girls.

Then. as the group walked down the hall, he turned to Marilyn. Suppose, Marilyn. you tell me a little about your class and its activities. I would be glad to. Mr. Oldest Grad. Led by Earl Reno, president: Pia Bertellotti. vice- president. and Betty Hall. secretary. the Junior Class distinguished itself by promoting one of the most successful and original ventures of the school year-the first junior Carnival. On April 18th. young and old poured through the admission gates into the complete- ly transformed auditorium. where the cries of the barkers. the gaily decorated booths. and people milling around the numerous conces- sions. contributed to a real old-fashioned car- nival spirit. The carnival was not only a financial success. but the crowd declared it one of the best entertainments put on by students. Proceeds of the carnival were used for the Senior Ball on june 6th, when we gave the Seniors a long-to-lme-remembered dance. It has been the practice for Juniors to adopt a Senior ring in their Junior year. thus giving them a longer time to enjoy them. The rings which adorn the fingers of nearly three-fourths of the class are gold. with an 'S' emblem in the center of a diamond-shaped black onyx, with the owner's initials on either side of the stone. California Scholarship Federation member- ship has been increased by six junior members: Pia Bertellotti. Forrest Felton, Hugh Grin- stead. Frances Hellman. Marilyn McGimsey and Muriel Shainsky. I don't want to take too much of your time, Mr. Oldest Grad. and I am sure you will recog- nize many Juniors when you visit some of our school activities. Then, turning to Lee who had been walking silently along. she said: l.ee. why are you so quiet? Isn't that rather unusual? How are your fellow-classmates coming along ? Yes. do tell us. echoed Mr. Oldest Grad. Just to be different. how would you like to meet our star basketball players first? They are George Revel, who earned his block letterg Ben Keechler. Dick Zielke, Bob Barsi. Don Canevari. George Ganiats and George Knego. all of whom were in many of our league games. On Saturdays this spring we saw Gordon Bruning. Ben Keechler. Henry Brocco. George Ganiats. joe Honey and others running, pole vaulting. jumping and taking part in many track activities. Their points helped give So- noma good track scores this spring. XVith two more years in school they will be real stars. Bob Barsi. jack Smallen. Kenneth XVeise and Bob lfinnerty are on the baseball team. They look mighty good out .there in their new uniforms. Stars bearing the names of members of the basketball team lined the walls of the auditor- ium and were just one item of the decorations for our Sophomore dance. which featured a basketball theme. Don Phillips. our president: Ben Keechler. vice-president. and Helen Millerick. secretary. have been active in keeping our class to the fore in all school affairs. Page I5 ., ,. 'tri
