High Senior Class History N June, 1917, as lowly scrubs, we, the never-to-be-forgotten High Senior class, entered the local portals of learning, the Alameda High School. Being anxious to show others just why we can say with pride that we graduated with the class of June, 1921, I forth- with begin the class history. As Low Freshmen our class officers were as follows: President, F. Cartio, Vice-President, H. O'Connell, Secretary, J. Foulkner, Representatives, M. Minor, T. Halton. Our High Freshmen officers were the following: President, Oliver Williams, Vice-President, Helen 0'Connell, Secretary, Malcolm Lamb, Representatives, Rita Jenkins, Jerry Faulkner, and Ed. Burgess Sorenson. As Low Sophomores our class began to make itself known as the largest and peppiest class that ever had the good fortune to be a part of the A. H. S. The following officers were elected: President, Eugene Cardinet, Vice-President, Burgess Sorenson, Secretary, Paul Rosen, Representatives, Alice Hansen and Charles Noyes. Our High Sophomore officers were: President, Elmer Mason, Vice-President,Rita Jenkins, Secretary, Frank Castro, Ed., Mabel White, Representatives, Burgess Sorenson, Clyde Zirbel. A hike was given to Wildcat Canyon which attracted many members of the class. During our Low Junior year we chose our class pins which because of their unique acorn effect were favorably received. Miss Melden was our class advisor at this time and with her help the girls gave a very successful stunt party. The officers elected during this term were: President, Ted Halton, Vice-President, Lois Littlefield, Secretary, Clyde Zirbel, Representatives Evelyn Fischer and Paul Sansom. Our High Junior officers were: President, Dave Arneson, Vice-President, Helen Maltesta, Secretary, Billy Moran, Representatives, Irma Martinoni, Clifford Phillips, Ed., Ruth Fort- mann. A very successful Prom was given under the management of Dave Arneson. Our class reached the approach to the final peak of its success as Low Seniors. The following officers were elected: President, Paul Sansom, Vice-President, Margaret Corcoran, Secretary, Ed Mundt, Representatives, Addison Thompson, Evelyn Fischer. We chose the F our of Hearts as our Senior play, which managed by C. Phillips and coached by Mr. Carlyle drew an exceedingly large crowd. The profits were 3278.00, the largest sum ever realized from a Low Senior play. During this term the Low Seniors entertained the graduates at a dance given at Haight School. Now, as worldly wise Seniors, deep in the mysteries of studying and thinking of graduation, the following officers were elected: President, Walter Stannard, Vice-President, Burgess Sorenson, Secretary, Fred Wiley, Representatives, A. Thompson, Margaret Cororan. The new advisory arrangement, whereby the High Seniors to the number of eighty-five were all crowded into Mr. Agard's room, helped in our class spirit, because we at least saw each other once a week, even if we did have to sit three in a seat to do it. Publishing the Acorn, the Senior Vaudeville, Old Clothes Day, and Graduation were the main events of this term. The class wishes to thank Mr. Agard and Miss Callaway, our two Senior Class Advisors, for untiring efforts in our behalf, for much help given to individual students, and for guidance of our class. We bid goodbye to Alameda High School with many regrets, and hope that future classes may be as successful as we were in all class events. RUTH FORTMANN, June '2l. Page Three
