I Shall Return! The nine hundred or so seniors who make their escape from Arcadia each year in June share one goal: they want to have as little to do with the school as they possibly can. Eventually, however, the euphoria which graduation inspires disappears, only to be replaced by the desire to see again the people one knew in high school. The Alumni Association makes it much easier for graduates to keep in touch with their classmates. The association is of little help in locating those who, because of ignorance or lack of interest, do not join, but it does invite alumni to join no matter how long they have been out of high school. Of course, current students are encouraged to enroll in the organization. The association has been successful in attracting members in the three years it has been in existence, it has grown to include over six hundred individuals. Each mem- ber's address and occupation is listed in the association's directory. The group does more than publish a 'phonebook, however. Every year they award two S250 scholarships to outstanding seniors. The association also provides help to graduates who are planning reunions. The Alumni Association will Ioan money to every graduating class to help them put together their ten- year reunion. The funds are a great help in getting the get- together underwayf The Association plans several activities of its own. ln addition to organizing an art festival, the group holds an annual day at the races at Santa Anita. ln the Fall they hold an off-campus homecoming dance for alumni over twenty years old, few of whom care to dance in the high school gym. Students who begin to wonder if they can make it through l high school Clet alone collegej can take heart at the achieve- ments of professions such as medicine or law. A few alumni have entered the entertainment business - one is a successful West Coast script writer. Since the school turned out its first crop of graduates in 1952, several have gone on to compete in collegiate and professional athletics. The alumni can be proud of their service to graduates and of their achievements as indi- viduals. 28 f Alumni
