Seniors Three years ago the Class of I9-lb entered Fresno High School during those terrible years of war. Now in our last year peace has come. VVe graduate as the first peace time class in our high school life, yet many of our class can not graduate with us for they are in the service of our country. Ar school we at last have that coveted roll of being the leading class in school activities. 'lille executive committee, mostly seniors, had a line record of school achievements. Some of the projects we have worked for will be enjoyed by the future students of Fresno High, and our part in their beginning may be forgotten: yet when within the next few years students enjoy a swimming pool, a cafeteria, improved grounds, we can be proud that those are some of the things we, under the leadership of our principal, lklr. Dann, helped to accomplish. Our class has taken the lead in every department, as is right and customary for a senior class. lklany of our line students repeatedly are on the honor roll. VVe expect much of them at college. lf by their collegiate record the rating of our school in the state universities could be raised, we would have a lasting memorial to their untiring scholastic efforts. ln sports, our very successful year has been due largely to the seniors on the teams. A large number of the football squad were seniors. Likewise our class was well represented on the basketball team, track, and baseball teams. Seniors participated in all branches of our music departs ment -one greatly enlarged this year. 'l'hey entertained at assemblies and rallies, and represented the school at exchange assemblies. Our sponsors, bliss Bartlett and lklr. 'l'hiele, have served the class for three years: their cooperation and enthusiasm kept activity and interest alive even in war times. DON R.

Seniors Our committees for our graduating activities have worked for a successful finale for the year. VVe had committees for announcements, caps and gowns, class gift, placque, song, assembly, baccalaureate, and finally, for commencement. lfach of these committees has been outstanding in the sin- cerity of effort of those serving on it. There has been co- operation and accomplishment on the part of each of them. YVe were guests of the Junior Class at the annual Junior- Senior Prom. and of the P.'l'.A. at the tea for seniors. As we look hack over our three years, we see a class who worked each year as a unit for the success of the class and school. The lklinstrel Show in our sophomore year started our working as a unit, and each year has seen our school with class spirit growing. lklany of the good records of which Fresno High can be proud during these three years can be attributed to the loyal efforts of members of the class of I9-lb. Some of the more diflictllt and dramatic plays have been presented because of the talent found in our class. Our all school play, Our Town , an outstanding success, was cast largely from the seniors. ln April the class presented Death 'llakes a Holiday . lt was an ambitious undertak- ing for a high school cast, and could not have been attempted had we not had the exceptional dramatic talent found among our members. lts artistic success ref'lected the ability and efforts of the cast and director: its financial success reflected also the untiring efforts of many other loyal class members. Our debate teams, having the most successful year in many years, included several seniors. ln publications, the Owlet has been our outstanding success with the guidance of lXIr. Robinson. The Owl, started with lllr. kVohlrabe, con- tinued after his departure. under the capable sponsorship of Nlrs. Harbers and lllr. Sawyers.
