Senior Notes lt was August, 1938. We finished our breakfast, grabbed our spotless new binder, said goodbye to our mother, and immediately entered into a new world, a way of living and learning known as high school. That first day was a shock, we were amazed to find that we were nobody. Everyone looked the same to us, except, of course, the freshmen. We could distinguish them by either their artificial cockiness or the way they timidly asked a senior the whereabouts of Room 19. As we recall, everybody was humming a popular tune of the day entitled Small Fry. And what could be amore appropiate theme song for the motley array of wild-eyed adolescents that we hesitatingly referred to as our fellow classmatesu? Truly, that first semester was one of trial and error, a multitude of home- work, and a scarcity of friends. l942 seemed to be a myth, something that was so far away that it didn't even enter into the realm of ourdaydreaming. But then something happened. Friendship ceased to be just another word. School Spirit ceased to be just another ideal. We were entering into activities, going to dances, solving school problems, and becoming more and more a part of Tamalpais. l-low we thrilled when upper-classmen called us by our first name! And what a sensation we received when we saw our name in the Tamalpais News for the first time. That was something to show Mom and Dad! The months flew by, but we didn't seem to notice, we were too busy studying geometry, yelling at football games, going to fourth period meetings, and lamenting the death of the Special Yes, we had begun to realize that high school days are carefree days, and that high school friends are real friends. Tamalpais was giving us everything we wanted and we were attempting to repay the debt in the best way possible, by becoming better and better citizens of our school. Then all too soon we became one of the Almighty, a member of the Senior Class. We pretended to be sophisticated big shots in the presence of freshman, whether we succeeded or not is purely a minor issue. 1942, the year that always seemed to be decades away, was upon us and we became a trifle panicky-panicky because Father Time was pushing us onward and onward when we wanted to stop and stretch out the Senior Year past its allotted time. But it was no use. Graduation announcements soon made their appearance and we swallowed the lump in our throat, looking ahead to the future with a confidence that can only be associated with Tamalpais graduates. The world is in a turmoil, war is everywhere, but still we face it with upraised head, proud of our four years at Tamalpais and proud of our title the Senior Class oi l942. Page eighteen
