Ma A 5 W 40 CIMA Hi tory o Six years ago, when South Gate first opened her portals to junior high students, we the graduates of W'4O, entered the B-7. We were a wide-eyed, frightened crowd. , it was a new experience. ' The next semester we had lost that scared expression. We acquired self confidence to ,QD 'We didn't know where to go or what to do but we were game for a try and at least S such an extent that we became rowdies. And how the senior high students hated us! lt was during this semester that we became interested in strikes' 'and even went so far as to stage one in class - much to the irritation of our dear teacher. Luckily, that , tage of growing up passed and so did we - into the eighth grade. About this time we became acutely conscious of athletics. The boys lingered around the gym and worshipped the outstanding players in the sport of the moment. The girls - played for all they were worth in gym and waited for the time when they could go out for GAA sports. All of us supported games with an enthusiasm that was un- matched. And so the year passed. ninth grade was upon us before we knew it. Many other students joined our ks this year, thus enlarging the class, We came to school at 8 o'clock of a morning had lockers in the building just like the big shots. We went out for sports and s e fthe boys showed promise of becoming big track, baseball, and football men. e an to join clubs and to make ourselves better known to other students. ' grade graduation was one of the biggest moments of our lives. And then our irst school dance! The boys stood on one side of the room and the girls ,st d on the other. What an exciting time we hadl 'N In he tenth year we could tell you the names of everybody in school. Of course, only ' knew who we were but we were contented because we figured our time was ' coming. This year we showed decided improvement in athletic ability. lt came to be a known fact that our class had its share of heroes. We all thought we were stuff and , ' ' that we knew all the answers. But we soon discovered we didn't. level lthey treated us like wormsl although we have our doubts. Anyway, we entered the eleventh grade in a rather sober mood. The home work had begun to pile up and we ' started having social obligations. We took a serious and active interest in things and left the horse play and booing to the seniors. We began to think about our class as a ' whole and we were surprised to discover that we weren't bad at all. ln fact we decided E 3 3 ,Qerhaps it was having senior high lunch period that brought us down to our rightful we were pretty good. 5 We voted for class officers. We selected our beautiful beige and brown sweaters. We bb .Q became outstandingly prominent in athletic clubs, student body affairs. We supported this and that and the other thing. We had Senior Recognition Day and we presented the school with a tree. .E Our senior year was, of course, our biggest. And, incidentally, our most expensive, too. All in all we think we're a pretty nice class. We are proud to be the graduates of W'4O and we are doubly proud that South Gate High is our alma mater. i241
