“Bob” SENIORS ROBERT WATSON RUTH WELLS THOMAS WARREN “Ruthie” 4 Woy aot GAS. ine (OK September 9, 1935: A group of eighty-nine green and gawky freshmen entered the portals of Banning Union High School. After successfully weathering the Kid Party, they elected George Cariker and Florence Hall presidents for the two respec- tive semesters. Mr. Fisk and Mr. Choisser were the advisors. The sccial functicns of the year were limited to a party held at the George Street Park. September 14, 1936: A somewhat depleted class of seventy-seven smiling faces swept through the halls, proud of their positions as sophomores. The outstanding event of the year was a picnic at Palm Springs. Jean Houser led the class through their second year with the help of Miss Thayer and Dr. Gunnerson. September 13, 1937: A big year for the eighty-five future lords and queens of B. U. H. S.!!! Two plays, several dances, and the sale of refreshments at the games made possible the most important social event of the season—the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was held at the Desert Inn. The presiding officers, Bob Watson and George Bundick, were ably assisted by Miss Thayer, Miss Gard, and Mr. Fisk. September 10, 1938: Fifty high and mighty Seniors put the freshmen through their paces during the first week of school, forgetting their past experiences as bashful beginners in the world of learn‘ng. Bill Herbert served as a most efficient president, and Miss Camp, Mr Oswald, and Mr. Bondoc proved equally capable as advisors. The highlights of the year were the A. A. U. W. Tea for the Senior girls, Ditch Day at Long Beach, the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Mission Inn, and Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises held in the new high school auditorium.
