Senior Claw Hi to 9 Sixty wide-eyed little freshmen came to school in September, 1936. The first day they wandered in and out among the tents in a rather bewildered fashion, but the faculty and the other students helped them out until they could find their way around. After showing them around all week, they properly initiated them on Friday. The freshman class distinguished themselves early by winning the annual sales con- test, When they were sophomores their candidate for popularity queen, Adele Kubin, won the contest. This was only the second time in the history of the school that a sophomore had won. Bill Beddow, Neoma Montgomery, and Don Lacy of the class of '40 were prominent in the 1939 operetta, Pinafore. The junior play, Romance In A Boardinghousef' with Lois Manuel and Harold Van Patten playing the leads, was considered a big success. Sev- eral of this class had parts in the school play K'Lunatics At Large , Jeanne Moore, Neoma Montgomery, Rose Doty, Louis Manuel, Bill Beddow, and John Orsborn. The class of '40 gave the seniors a prom last year instead of the usual banquet. It was given at the Lakewood Country Club, and everyone who attended enjoyed it very much. The present junior class liked the idea of a prom so much that they gave one too. This year the senior class started the ball rolling with a Woodchopper,s Ball. Later, Mildred Carlson and Charles Howard were the popularity king and queen. The class of '40 revolutionized tradition when nearly every member of the class bought an annual, and everyone had his senior picture taken on time. Stanley Bates and John Holland won first and third places respectively in the Elks' essay contest, a fact of which we are all very proud. Many of the boys and girls distinguished themselves in sports, winning many letters. Roy Ledbetter was captain of this year's football team, and Charles Howard was captain of the basketball team. Charles Doty and Melvin Stewart were prominent in track. Margie Mallory was president of the G.A.A, and Betty Grant, Lois Manuel, Frances Warner, Adele Kubin, Mildred Armstrong, Mildred Carlson, Neoma Montgomery, and Frances Warner were prominent in sports all four years of high school. Bill Beddow, Frances Warner, Esther Mathews, Charles Howard, Rose Doty, Margie Barry, and Ruth Witten have been members of the scholarship at various times during their high school career. Several of this class had important parts in the operetta Hollywood Extraf, Many of them had been in other operettas or plays. Rose Doty, Louis Manuel, Patty Sherman, and Bill Beddow had the leads in the senior play, The Haunted Castlef' Ditch Day at the mountains was fun, with the regular amount of spills and chills. After the usual round of the senior breakfast, Baccalaureate and Graduation, the last day of school arrived. With many thanks to Mr. Hopkins and Mrs. Shadforth, who have been our advisers for the last two years, we bid a fond farewell to Brea-Olinda, remem- bering that the four years we spent here have been four of the best years of our lives. -By Rose Doty.
