Polynesians Histor In February, 1949, our small but mighty class made its debut at Eagle Rock High as B-7's. Soon we were chasing each other down the halls and sliding down the bannisters. It semmed a long time, though, till we should reach the glorihed state of seniors. Right away we took interest in our sehool's activities and attended the sports events. The girls joined Wawokiyas. Later the boys stirred themselves to join the Lancers. In no time we were A-9's and in that semester we brought ourselves to the attention of all by the reputation of a fun-loving and mischievous class. Mr. Hodnett was our wonderful sponsor and Bob Mayorga claimed the job of class president. VVe ended our junior high school days with a graduation in the auditorium on january 27, 1952. That night with our new suits and the smell of gardenias in the air we had a never-to-be-forgotten party at Sue Goodwin's house. XNith much speculation and anticipation we entered the B-10 to meet and get acquainted with the new B-10,5 from Irving. Interest accelerated as we joined service clubs such as Garconettes. Kabanokas, Vendeurettes, Knights and Squires. Gur boys were seen more in sports events. In the A-ll we organized our growing class and elected officers, which were: President, Butch Mitchell, Vice-Presidents, Ron Brown and Carol Stonebrakerg Secretary, Diane Fisher, Treasurcrs. Juanita DeFoor and Bill Stansberryg and Historian, Marie Haning. Then after mueh debate we chose our class colors of red and gray and the POLYNESIANS became our name. Two weeks after we gained the longed-for title of Senior Bees, we bared the secret of our mighty name and colors to all. VVe celebrated the day by going to the ghost town at Knotts, Berry Farm. After dinner there, we gathered at john Cashionls house for a class party. It was one of the best parties we've had. Punch and cookies were servedg everyone danced and had fun. ,, nv 7 We elected class ofiicers for the B-l2. Bob Mzxyorga was Presidentg Vice-Presidents were Bill Stans- berry and Diane Fisher, Secretary, Marie Haningg Treasurers, Ron Brown and Eva Meyer, and His- torian, Barbara Karrasch. Senior privileges were allotted to us. INe had a column in the Eagle Scream where all the class gossip and news was aired. The senior lawn became our special place to eat lunch along with the Senior A's. And you all know what a success the Prom, 'glnvitation to a Dream turned out to be that we gave the Continentals. Everyone looked very pretty in their new formals and suits. Next we had our breakfast and everyone had a gay time eating their fill. The entertainment was terrific. , Soon we shall graduate and start lives separate from our friends and our school. A few of us will get married, some will go to college and others will start on new jobs. But, I doubt if any of us will forget the fond memories that Eagle Rock High has given us.
