LLOYD S. BROWN, ’12 In September, 1908, the Cloverdale High School, greeted its largest Freshman class. We were a jolly band of nine girls and nine boys. (The girls were Florence Lile, Ethel Graham, Eve¬ lyn Smyth, Geneva Hale, Thelma Ingram, Lonie Allengrini, Lola Lea, Mabel Hill and Anita Grant, The boys were John Sink, Frank Belford, W. T. Brush, Delmar Yassar, Arthur Bolting, Melvin Ilotell, Joseph Rudee, Matthew Scanlon and Lloyd Browne.) From the beginning to the end of that term we worked with a will. We were not awed by our upper classmen as freshmen usually are but we soon got the run of things and settled down t o our share of the work. In athletics our class led from the start for we had with us Frank Belford, winner of a medal in the Dipsea, and also a good baseball player. W. T. Brush and John Sink were stars in the Basket Ball Team for the four years. The Girls’ Basket Ball Team also got their best material from our class in the persons of Ethel Graham and Anita Grant, In our Sophomore and Junior years we kept our lead in school activities although our number had dwindled to seven.

Senior |Ioem The days that have passed, The years that have gone, We may never recall; But nature so rules In our fight against time, The week by the way-side will fall. So let us remember in labor or play, While the future before us unfolds That time so swiftly fleeting away, Must reveal a secret untold. In the present the seed of the future is sown, Each their own harvest must reap. Bringing their burden wherever they roam, The joy of success or the sting of defeat. Then let us be strong, forgiving and kind, That our laughter may ever ring true. The harvest of joy in this we will find, The glory that comes to the efforts of few. M. E. T., ’13. E. E. G.

V. L. Society, and during all this time we retained our place as stars in athletics. As Seniors, we lost two of our most valued class mates, Ethel Graham and Evelyn Smith, who entered Mission High School in San Francisco. But nevertheless our former influences still remained and we can not help but look back with pride to our achievements. The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1912 KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS that we, the graduating class of June, 1912, of the Cloverdale Union High School, of the City of Cloverdale, of the State of California, of these United States of America, being of sound mind and full age, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testa ment; that is to say : 1. We bequeath to the Freshmen our dignity of bearing and solemnity of manner, which they are to assume on all possible occasions as was characteristic of its former owners. 2. Seeing the lack of such a possession we do herewith be¬ queath to the class of 1914 our noble High School Spirit. 3. We do will to the High School students the bust of Gaius Julius Caesar—on condition that they do not mutilate his be¬ loved countenance and that they show it the same respect that was shown it by the departing class. 4. We do will and bequeath to the aforesaid High School students our most valued prescription which we highly recom¬ mend for success in life: Rx. 16 oz. ambition, 12 oz. cheerfulness, 8 oz. laughter; dissolve in 10 oz. of studiousness. To be shaken well and taken in large doses each morning before breakfast. 10
