' K Moa l5.f40!mini:ifrafo S WE come to the cross-roads and another class is about to leave us and embark on a career, we again have the opportunity to look both forward and back, to learn what in the past has been profitable, and from which we can gain lessons, and to look forward to see if there is any gleam of light for us. I am fully satisfied that whether the average scholar- ship and study habits of this mid-century class have improved or not, they definitely have learned more about the amenities of life, of living together, of mutual respect, esteem and cooperation. These latter must be learned, whether or no, and to learn them in the years when character is more or less flexible and pliable is much better than to learn them later. We see on all sides threats of violence, destruction, and even annihilation, but people who have lived through the last twenty years, and seen humanity terror- stricken but finally coming out on top, are not expect- This year has probably been one of the finest in the history of Balboa. Academically, we have made much progress in try- ing to meet the needs of students. This has resulted in making for better adjustment in the home, school, and in the com- munity. Athletically, it has been a year of great accomplishment. You have had a great deal of opportunity to taste the fruits of accomplishment and a job well done. Some of the students in school, and our alumni have made their niches in higher education and industry have put forth great efforts and reaped many satisfying results by their wil- lingness to work. You are the future leaders that will shape our democratic government and you should, with all your hearts, make the best possible effort toward preparing yourselves for a complete, useful, and a happy life. james C. MORENA Dean of Boys ing the world to come to an end because of threats of the enemies of mankind. Our universe is not made of such brittle material. Events don't work out that way, and while our class may have been fed on anni- hilations and rumors of annihilations, still they will have learned enough to know that the progress of the centuries is not wiped out so easily. In the words of the poet, Whittier- Through the harsh noises of our day A low sweet prelude makes its way, And step by step since time began We see the steady gain of man. There will be plenty of opportunity for the display of character, persistence, industry and aptitude. These members who have been learning these lessons, and we believe it is 100 per cent, can look forward to wholesome, constructive careers, and to such we com- mend them with all of our best wishes.

COUNSELORS riginaf .ical Twenty-two years ago when Balboa opened its doors for the first time-August 1928-there were 24 mem- bers on the faculty including the principal, Mr. Chase. Now that Balboa has grown to be the largest high school in San Francisco, and one of the most distin- guished in the state, 94 teachers staff the school. Of the original faculty the following thirteen have served loyally through the years and are with us still: Robert R. Chase, Principal, Natalia Aced, Spanishg Pauline Bond, Historyg Myra G. Daly, Commercial, Eugene Hill, Physical Education, Sadie McDowell, Home Economicsg George E. Nunn, History, Leta Painter DR. NUNN MISS MCQUAID OFFICE STAFF Qlnff of Kagan QMrs. Wlmeelerj, English, Geneva R. Pardee, Physical Education, Irene Pauly, Vice Principal 5 Caterina Ralfo, Italian, Martha K. Schaller, German, Florence Walker QMrs. Balzarinij, Home Economics. Miss Adelaide Bartlett has also retired. The Galleon regrets that the information came too late to secure a photograph. Our best wishes for her retired happi- ness are no less cordial. But now we say farewell, and sadly, to those who are about to retire from teaching. The gratitude and love of Balboans, past and present, are theirs forever. They chose the symphony of leisure. MRS. PARDEE MR. SMITH PAGE ELEVEN
