Girls, Sport Stars h.n Shirley Peterson thetey certainly deserves all the high honors she has won while at dear old S.P.J.H.S. In addition to being elected president of Las Amigas, she nearly won the distinction of being the first girl student body president of our school being defeated by only a small margin. As an athlete, she is outstanding. starring in practically every sport. As president of Las Amie gas, she has shown herself to be one of the finest leaders in our school. Lois W'ohlwend Lois will certainly be missed by her many friends when she leaves our school. While she attended junior high she has proved to be a leader in and out of school and especially in ath- letics. She has been elected to GM-l for three successive terms. As this year's hiking manager she has been faithful and hard-working and we are all sorry to see her go. Caroline Pfeiffer In the three years ltCarrie has been 'in our school she has made many true friends. Nearly every varsity ath- letic team of the past three years has held her name. As an all-round ath- lete, her record is practically unequal- led. During the three years she has been in junior high she has built up a reputation for outstanding leadership and friendliness throughout the school. GM-l .has claimed her for the past two years, this year as a capable and dependable swimming manager. Phyllis Summers Phyllis's tennis tracket has brought her fame and glory during her three years in our school. She is a real star on the courts and has served faith- fully as this years tennis manager, as shown by the capable way in which she directed the girls' tennis Sil gles and doubles tournaments. Mary Moshe:- Tumbling has been handled very well this year due to the excellent management by Mary. She has been an active member of GM-l for two years, and her skill in sports as well as her personality have combined to make her one of the most 'popular members of this year's graduating class. Jill Coffman There isn't as much to say about Jill as the other managers because of the short time she has been in our school. When she entered junior high in the QB, she was elected to GM-l as a representative of the new San Marino girls. She has worked hard during her stay with us, serving as the banker of her homeroom.

Another highlight was the 75 yard dash for As where the flying feet of Janice Weiss carried her to a new class A record in the fast time of 8.8 seconds.

To note its every motion, To feel salt breeze on me. I can't make up my mind, Just when I like it best, The sea when wild and roaring, Or the sea when at rest. When the ocean's wild and roaiing, It gives me such a thrill To watch the waves dash high, On the shore With mighty Will. L X, When the sea is calm at rest. I With waters clear and blue.
