Songs and Yells of Winter 21 HAPPY DAYS fTune, Oh! By fingolj Happy days and happy hours we've spent at Franklin High, But now the time is drawing near when we must say good-bye The Buff and Blue has been to us A thing to love and cherish. Its memory will live on with us, And its lustre will not perish. Though we've chosen colors of entirely different hue, The Crimson and the Silver will be loyal to the Buff and Blue. The Silver for the luck we wish before each day is done, The Crimson for the loyal hearts of XfVinter Twenty-One.

graduated with twenty members. The first public appearance of the Senior A Class was made in the early part of October, when the class paraded, snake- like, around the grounds at noon, announcing their colors, which were Crim- son and Silver, and also announcing several of the class yells. Then they made their way to the prettily decorated Little Dining Room, where they enjoyed a dainty luncheon, after which they invaded the school, making enough noise to make a good-sized boiler factory sound like a cemetery. Perhaps the undertaking of the year was accomplished on the 10th of january, when the Class published the first edition of the Kite and Key, Franklinls first handbook. This was the fruit of hard labor on the part of each member of the class, and found immediate favor with every Franklinite. On the 17th of january the class presented a very unique and original Class Day program in the Little Theatre. This consisted of a short one-act play, a presentation in skit form, of the VVill and Prophecy, a solo by a member of the class, and the class song. This performance was given three times, twice in the afternoon for the general student body, and once in the evening, at which time the Class of Summer Twenty-One and the friends of the Senior A Class were invited guests. Several times the class or part of the class appeared in aud call, either in advertisement of a play or advertisement of the class. A very enjoyable evening was spent at the Majestic as guests of the Senior B Class. c The crowning event of the term was the ditch day which the entire class enjoyed at Venice, and which came as a complete surprise to the rest of the school. The class left school at noon and stayed until-o'clock. Did they have a good time? They'll say so! Virginia Ferris learned to jump off Cooties backwards, Marjorie Skeels nearly vamped the entire Santa Monica police force, Thelma and Katharine just wouldn't leave the Big Dipper and, 'well- nobody wanted to come home nohowf' Besides the ditch day, the class enjoyed several parties and receptions and wish to thank all those who made these good times possible. To crown a successful and useful career at Franklin, and in order to leave the school something by which the Class of Winter Twenty-one might be remembered, it was decided to give the school a pair of fioor palms for the new gymnasium. This concluded the activities of the class at Franklin. However, there still remained one more chapter to ,be written, and this was done on the evening of January twenty-first, when the graduating exercises were held at the Ebell Club House. The auditorium was very attractively decorated with crimson carnations, poinsettias and desert holly. The exer- cises were a complete success in spite of a drenching rain. In leaving Franklin, the Class of Winter Twenty-One wishes to express its deep regret in parting from all that we have held so dear, and its sincere thanks to all of those who have so generously contributed of their time and talents toward making the Senior A term a success. Farewell, Franklin! -15--
