- TH E PLEIADES ' Senior Class The class of ' 29 entered FuUerton Union Hish School as despiseil Scrubs, Greenhorns, Dumbbells and other lovinf; titles as invented by the scornful upper classes. With this beginning we were initiated to the wiles of ditching, cramming and hazing in all sorts of ingenious ways until we became educated to the fundamentals of F. U. H. S. That the class had students with pep and vigor was shown to advantage by Freshmen representatives in forensics, honor roll, interclass and scholastic sports. Before the year ended we were recognized not only as the largest class but as one of the best classes that had ever entered F. U. H. S. The second year the Sophomores, as we were then known, came into their own. They took revenge for their initiation on the incoming class, and on the upper classes by winning in interclass sports. Forensics, student plays, sports, and scholarship were well represented by the Sophomores. It was realized at this time that the Sophomores would be the mainstay of varsity teams in the following year, due to their excellent showing in sports their second year. Juniors we became, and what a record we made the third year of our high school career! The sweater committee did right by their class with those white sweaters with black trimmings, and a black ' 29 on the left sleeve. The committee spent weeks with different representatives of knitting companies, deciding finally on the ' test ones of+ered. They did well, as the examples of their work are still being worn. There were more Juniors on the varsity football, basketball, track, and baseball rosters than of any other class. One of our members won the forensics contest with his speech on the Constitution. Scholars of the class garnered many of the silver Pleiad pins and filled the honor roll with more names than the other classes. Seniors!! Seniors!! It ' s hard to believe that we are on the last lap of the high school race. This was a record-breaking year for the class of ' 29. One of the biggest and most successful events of the year was Senior ditch day, the day when the Seniors left the campus to Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. They returned the next day telling of the wonderful time they had, of snow fights, of skating, toboggan sliding, skiing, snowbaths and many other events. Then came the day when the Senior scholars were awarded California Scholarship Federation pins. Eleven were presented. Then came the anxiety for two weeks concerning who were to be chosen Alcyonians, and when twenty-one Seniors were selected a new record number was set. Next the announcement committee, and the choice of valedictorian, resulting in election of Don Pierotti. The annual Senior play was started under the supervision of Mrs. Litchfield. The Big Idea was a happy idea and a great success. The class has many accomplishments to be proud of, and they have striven throughout to bring honor to F. U. H. S. They leave with a large degree of success marking their efforts. Page Tiverity-one
