The citrus mealy bug, which is also from Austra- lia, has been a serious pest in recent years. The only methods that have much effect upon it are the use of parasites and predators. In 1922 an in- sectary was established in Anaheim to raise the criptolaemus bug which is the natural enemy of the mealy bug. Other parasites which preyed upon the mealy bug were brought from Australia in 1928. These later parasites, particularly the coccophagus, were much more effective than the criptolaemus and in a short time seem to have destroyed most of the mealy bugs. This method of biological con- trol was used for the first time in California for the control of the cottony cushion scale which was so devastating in the 80 ' s.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As freshmen in 1931 our eventful high school careers began under the lead- ership of: Francis LaPoint, president: Connie Ridgeway, vice-president: Bill Jones, secretary: Goldie Smith, treasurer: Roderick Royer, yell leader; and Mozel Chambers, song leader. Blue and white were chosen as class colors. Our sophomore year found us under the guidance of: Willard Zinn, presi- dent: Buryl Battelle. vice-president; Genevieve Townsend, secretary: Leon Mahn, treasurer; Winifred McCool, song leader; and John Raitt, yell leader. Upperclassmen! This year the officers included: John Raitt, president: Jay McAulay, vice-president: Lois King, secretary: and Kenny NVheeler, treasurer. Blue, slip-over, brushed-wool sweaters were selected. A hiawaiian atmosphere pervaded our Junior-Senior Prom. The last year has been successfully piloted by: Kenny Wheeler, president: Norman Christensen, vice-president: Aleda Franklin, secretary; and Wes Rollo, treasurer. Fascinating silver rings were selected by an ingenious committee consisting of Genevieve Townsend, Evelyn McFadden, Lawrence Robeson, Charlotte Mennes, and Earl Harris. On Ditch Day most of us enjoyed the snow in Big Pines. The Courtesy Committee includes Norman Christensen, Betty Wood, Aleda Franklin, and Bill Yerrington. The senior float for the Pow Wow Parade was designed by Bob Clark, Ruth Mackey, and Ronald Batchman. That same evening our class booth was oper- ated by Eldon Rodieck, Bill Merriam, and Bill Burchitt. The busy Announcement Committee is made up of Lois King, Bonnie Miller, Dona Frost, Maxson Foss, and Bill Newsom. The selection of a gift of the school was left to Jack Prizer, Manuel Colpaert, Audrey Hollingsworth, Clara Golaspy, and Lucille Neiman. Plans for Class Day were made by John Raitt, Nellie Scofield, Fern Jones, Claude Snider, and Jay McAulay. After Class Day at the Los Serranos Country Club, the climax came — graduation! The last four years of our lives have been very happy; and, although we are eagerly looking ahead, it is with a tinge of sadness that we say goodbye. [25]
