Although the class is small, its memb.ers have held some ot' the highest ofhces in Student llody activities, and they are miehty proud of themselves. Well, who wouldn't be? 'llhe four boys of the class did their best to advance the athletics. Manuel and Ralph, who have each won a letter, played in practically all the team games, such as basketball and speedball. jack, Ralph and Manuel were also on the track team. Not as much can be said of the girls in athletics, for our school does not compete with other schools. 'llhree of them, however, Tona, Juanita and l3.ernice, were among the six who had a sufhcient number of points to allow them to go to Long Beach for th.e l'lay Day, March 3. 'l'he Sophomores were hosts to the Ninth Grade at a Backwards Party on April l ool's evening. Klany games were played, and everyone had a good time. 'llhe rooms wer.e decorated with green and yellow, the colors of the Sophomore Class. Whenever the Sophomores are request- ed to do a thine, it is done with a will and enthusiasm, and when they under- take anything of their own accord, every- one works toeether and it is put over with a bang. 'llhe Sophs can freely put out their chests and say: Glory, glory to the SO1lllUlll0l'.CS, Glory, glory to the Sophomores, Glory, glory to the Sophomores, The best class of them alll We take great pleasure now in wel- coming the incoming class, and in wishing them great success. May they, with their larger numbers, carry honors galore into their junior year.

A lr. l'ryor F'l'lCR A YEAR of unusual progress the lfieghth Grade has completed its second year of junior High School. Oar class, next to the largest in the school, has nineteen members. 'l'h.e liieghth Grade has participated in several social functions throughout the year. 'l'he last day before Christmas va- cation all the members of the Inniorl-ligh School had a most enjoyable party. ln May, Friday, the 13th, the Freshies got liberal and gave us a most interesting party, which everyone enjoyed immensely. The boys of our class were all forced to give the girls a party, because they failed to get their class dues in on time. W'e were also well represented at all Jnniar- Senior Hi social functions. Nor have we been lacking in social achievements, for we were well represent- ed in both Lady l rances and A lloxof Monkeys by the following members: Xlargy llaly, Cleralrline lfldan, lrene Hoover, Isabelle Scott, Vivian Harris, Hattie Nlay Smith, Charlotte llowdle and Lois Harsison. Two members of the class,Geraldin.e lil- don and Lois Harrison, have qnalilied for the Scholarship Society-an honor of which we are proud. W.e have taken our place in athletics also, for Klarselino Hernandez, Clay Tapp, Gndmnnd Hall and Mike Reyes were members of the Junior High School bas- ketball team. Nlarselino Hernandez also took honors in speedball. ln track, lfric Clill, Mike Reyes, Gndmnnd Hall and Marselino Hernandez made quite a name for their class. ln swimming, the class as a whole was quite active.
