PLANNINGGREAT DORIS POLAND DOROTHY POLHEMUS STELLA PORTILLO CHOLE LOIS ROBINSON REVA ROWLEY ANITA SALAZ JACQUE FABIAN STANTON HELEN STARR FRED STRAHM PAULINE STRAWN BETTYh THE LOSS of many of our classmates to the armed forces brought the war closer to home. When the lineups for our football games came in, we noticed Bud Cross' name absent from the roster. Bud was voted captain-elect at the close of the preceding season, and he was missed greatly by the Colton gridsters. Fabian Stanton enrolled with us, but left for the Army Air Corps at the end of the first semester. Fabian was a member of the Student Council and supervised the sale of stamps and bonds while he was here 0 The most memorable event of the year except for the Hdiploma jamboreef' was the Junior-Senior Prom. The lights were low but not too low, the music was hot but not too hot, and the upper- classmen danced together for the last time as a part of the high school sudent body 0 We can now look back and recognize youthful follies, and at the same time feel pride in the accom- plishments of all those things on which we worked, and played, and laughed together.

In an obstacle race at the Foot- ball Rally we outjumped and outsmarted the juniors. We were quite elated over the victory, because it was the first time in four years that our class had been able to beg, borrow, or steal top honors at this event 0 Many unsuspected ambitions and char- acteristics were brought to the fore on Senior Dress-Up Day, with strange, weird and comical figures roaming the campus. Representative of the strange element was Wally McIntosh, who was dressed as a typical iidark town Romeo; while in the weird conglomeration appeared Hazel Jackson as a walking mummy. In the comical aspect was Emrick Chaplin Webb. Among the interesting couples who broke loose were Jack iiRastus Cook and Bette Mandy Jones 0 Outstanding journalists of the year were those who gained admittance to the Quill and Scroll at the end of last year. Members of the International Society of High School Journalists were Reva Rowley, Pepper Bough Editor and president; Dorothy Polhemus, Carol East, Crimson and Cold Ed- itor; Barbara Huddleston, Gordon Oliver, Emrick Webb, and Bob Young.
