You fogot Mrs. Eischen, our Classroom Teacher. I haven't heard of her for ages. She's still teaching in the University of Torrance, hoping some day to find a class equal to that of '26. But she looks in vain, for there never has been and never will be a class as peppy, active and loyal as the Class of '26 of Torrance High School.
