BON VOYAGE, SENIORS Our seniors are busy putting on the finishing touches, getting last minute work in, having hnal visits with their friends before the or- chestra begins playing on the thirteenth of june. On the whole, they have been a very fine class, unusually good in fact. and respond to their manifold duties exceptionally well. There are many opinions among members of this class concerning what an education is, and what preparation is necessary for getting a job. Some are most interested in preparing themselves for living, in getting a more correct self estimate, and in learning how to get along with others. A well rounded high school pro- gram affords the student an excellent oppor- tunity to develop himself into a person fitted by personal and ruental traits to face the future. R. R. CHASE PAGE TEN Y Wards hnut llur ' aff-fi LOOKING AHEAD OF US This is the eleventh year of Balboa's exist- ence, during which time fine traditions have been established. A drastic change is about to enter into the life of the Buccaneers, for after fall '-10, Balboa will be a senior high school. Our new junior high, the James Denman, will need help and guidance, and we should be a big brother to it. In many ways, we'll almost be a six year high school. Our plans from this semester on should include ways of assisting our close neighbor, as all of those citizens sooner or later will be enrolled at Balboa. Wlith this big adjustment will come many changes, a reduction in our faculty, decrease in student enrollment, and more space in which to expand and experiment. O. I. SCI-IMAELZLE Administrators R. R. CHASE In the passing parade of graduating classes, Robert R. ffhase, captain of the good ship Galleon, will be forever remembered, not only because of his capability, but also for his support of and participation in all student activities. A true Sportsman at heart, R, R. can be found ardently enjoying ice skating. horseback riding, and even playing the flute with the orchestra. To Mr. Chase, the Buccaneers say thank you, with the hope that he may feel in his heart a small part, at least, ofthe gratitude which they feel is rightfully due him. o O. I. SCHMAELZLE O. I. Schmaelzle, the Galleon's first mate, imparts cheer- fulness to everyone he meets. Yes, O, I. S. is always a good tonic, but he has a serious side, which he displays only when the situation demands. His easy-going manner and ever-present smile make us forget that he is one of our bosses, and he is accepted by every Buccaneer as a pal. Although this dean of boys is always busy, he finds time to challenge someone to a basketball game in the hope that his statI will be victorious, and chocolate cakes, their trophy. o IRENE M. PAULY Buccaneers are indeed fortunate in having as dean of girls one who is every inch a real Balhoan. Always ready to assist any student, Miss Pauly has earned for herself the name of friend, which is one of the biggest tributes that can be paid to any teacher or administrator. In activities in general, Miss Pauly has the interest of the pupils at heart. Those who assist this vice principal in her othce are indeed privileged. Wards Frnm Uur Administrators BALBOA GIRLS ACTIVE As another term draws to a close, the Buc- caneers look back and attempt to count the days in the light of accomplishments. In- deed, this semester has been no different from any other except in that it may have been a little more active than past ones. The Girls' Council has been especially busy in attempting to reach happy solutions for problems of etiquette which arise is high school life. An all-time precedent was broken when Martha Holdener was elected high senior presi- dent. All in all, the fairer sex on the campus may feel proud of their activities during spring '40. IRENE M.

W PAGE TXVELVE Eandidl Speaking Important to every school is its faculty. If knowl- edge, kindness, understanding, and dependability count at all, then Balboa's teaching personnel must surely rank at the top of the list of San Francisco high schools. Consisting of 125 men and women, each with special training in his particular field of work, the stali stands ready to direct the paths of pupils enrolled at Balboa. No task, beneficial to the student, is too tedious for any of them-there is always a capable mind and ready hand to assist those in need. In years to come, as the Buccaneers allow their thoughts to drift down Memory Lane, they will undoubtedly recall, with no small degree of amuse- ment, interesting incidents surrounding members of the faculty, Doc Nunn, with or without his precious goatee, is always good for a laugh, particularly when he digs his lunch sack out of his drawer, for it contains enough for twoffat least. The team of jones, Heinz, and Bronson, which has become a well-known trio over the Oh Teacher radio pro- gram, has kept many an anxious student from win- ning a pair of those coveted slacks or trousers. And Spencer Tracy! Yes, he has roamed the halls for many a term in the person of Frank Kelly. De- tentions---oh, that ninth period club-with its tickets for admission so easily handed out by Miss Garfinkle and Gibby fMr. Gibsonj but they're grand persons after ninth period. Drama always brings to mind Miss Price. Song assemblies spell Salvatore Billeci who carries a scratch pad in his pocket for jotting down ideas for new Buccaneer songs. Laps around the field means Mr. Hill, but Mr. Hill also brings to mind the championship baseball nine. Roller skates remind one of Miss Klaus, who gets her daily dozen during the lunch hourfskating around the campus. Lost textbooks are always accompanied by an immediate call to the libraryfand a bill from Mrs. Homel, which she never seems to forget, much to the student's sor- row. Thirsty bloodhounds on your trail at Alemany tunnel mean Mr. Hamersley. And if space permitted, some little reminder about all other members of the faculty, but written notes are not necessary to remember the genial per- sons who make up the headlines in Balboa's passing parade.
