Forward ever, backward never typifies the spirit of the successful and courageous Class of 1933. Destined to be the largest graduating class in the history of the South Pasadena High School — with two hundred and forty members — this plucky class faced more difficult problems than any in history before. Making their debut in this school in 193U under the skillful leadership of Miss Madge M. Hill, Tom Kiddie was elected president of the sophomore class. Jack Starr assisted as vice president, Helen Sperrv, secretary, and Janet Carey, treasurer. Gathering momentum as it grew, the new junior class moved down from the balcony and elected Ben Dey to guide them to light through the ear of depression. His assist ants were Reed Que- nell, vice-president; Bette Loe, secretary ; Woodrow Wood, treasurer; and Miss Bertha C. Moore, adviser. Their returns from both the Junior Rally and the |unior Prom were record breaking. Facing 1932-3 3 as their last vcar. and, needless to say, many problems, John Cameron was chosen to lead the Senior Class. Reed Quesnell was vice president; Mary Derthick, secretary; and T. M. McDaniel, treasurer. Connie Gertmenian was class cheer leader, and the ever capable Miss F.thel L. Bear advised. As a first step to success, the seniors won the first prize in the Hallowe ' en Fcsti al with a float made by a committee headed by Charlotte .Amend. In the annual Thanksgiving Drive, the seniors won second place under the leadership of Bernice Brush, and the juniors placed first. Bob Helmhol headed the committee for the second annual .Mumni Day, which consisted of an assembly in the morning, luncheon, the alunnii- arsity basketball game, visiting of classc, and tea in the art room after school. The Senior Play, The .Admirable Crichton by Sir James M. P.arrie, proved to be one of the most popular and succe.ssful plays yet given in spite of the fact that it came during the bank holidays. F.arlv in the vear eIlow pigskin sweaters with brown felt numerals were chosen and the tradition es- tablished that they should be worn every assembly d.ay. Class assemblies were also revived, and the seniors did themselves proud in a program planned bv a committee led by Connie Gertmenian. Senior D.iy was welcomed in the latter part of May. Soon Class Night, planned by Betty Barrett, was ushered in and made a most successful finale to a vcrv successful Senior Class. I ,t g f F I r t I- II
