elezfcu OUR ALMA MATER Hail! all hail! our Alma Mater, Guide and counselor of youth! How we've loved thy friendly places, Where we've learned the ways of truth! Four short years we've trod thy pathways: journeyed through thy stately hallsg Toiled thy tedious tasks to masterg Learned to hear life's greater calls. All these years we've shared thy struggles, Fought to keep thy glorious name, Strove to bring thee splendid vict'ry, Gladly helped to spread thy fame. As our course sped ever onward, Love we gave thy colors brightg Proud we bore aloft thy emblems, Bore aloft thy red and white. Now these years are golden memlries, As we leave thy sacred nooks, But we leave and wish thee blessing, High School Life that's more than books. May these mem'ries all be hallowed, May they ever fondly liveg And to others, Alma Mater, Blessing, love, and gladness give. -Gertrude Stephens

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the autumn of 1918 about one hundred ten timid little Scrubs entered the institution of F. U. H. S. Contrary to all traditions, this was the bright- est bunch that ever entered Fullerton High School. In February eighteen so- called Sub-scrubs came to join us. We looked scornfully upon the Sopho- mores and considered the Juniors friends because they were so sympathetic. VVe held the dignified Seniors in awe. We didn't even think of the time when we would be Seniors, that was too far away. The wily Sophomores fell as easy victims in most of the contests in which the Freshmen were concerned. Then came the Freshman Reception, followed by exams, and the year came to an end. VVe came marching proudly back to school to take the place of the much- hated Sophomores. But how we had changed! No more pigtails or knee trousers All had donned grown-up styles. Now it was our turn to initiate the Scrubs, and we did so with much ceremony. We took part in all ath- letics and certainly didn't lack pep in any school activity. Our loyalty to dear old F. U. H. S. was ever increasing. Picnics lightened our toils and kept us from becoming gray-headed from worry. During the year we won many victories, and so we were content to lay our tasks and pleasures aside for three summer months. It dawned upon us in the fall that we were Juniors, and we resolved to be the record-breaking class of the school. We were enthusiastic and wide-awake, we aimed for the highest goals and attained them. Our class made good in football and baseball and won the banner for interclass ath- letics. But needless to say, we toiled industriously and kept up a good rec- ord for scholarship. As the year drew near to its close, we realized that the Seniors were planning to leave us, so we gave them a reception. Who will ever forget that reception of 1921? We, as well as the Seniors, forgot we were only in the study hall, and imagined ourselves in the Ambassador. And now-Oh! It seems almost impossible, but now we are Seniors! Those dreams of our Freshman days are now a reality. We have reached the goal we set when we entered. But we have worked as others before us have done and as others after us will do. We have discussed business and pleasure alike in the old biology building. But like all Seniors we too must leave. And as the parting draws nearer, we look back over our former years in F. U. H. S. and feel proud of our record. In the future we hope we shall come through with flying colors, as we have done in the past. Soon our high school life will be only a memory that will last forever. But we look forward and smile because a Golden Opportunity awaits each of us. Our paths divideg we must partg but in loyalty and honor to our school, dear old F. U. H. S., we shall always remain as one-the class of '22, BLYTHE VAUGHAN-'22. fan
