VERY impressive incident occurred at the end of one of our football games. A rejoicing and happy rooting section was giving forth all the enthusiasm and eagerness they had ever mustered. They were flushed with victory, ready for a celebra- tion, waiting only for the final gun to set in motion the march of triumph. In the last few seconds vic- tory was snatched from their hands, and their joy was turned to grief. The blow was crushing and bitter. There were tears. No one could speak. Death-like silence prevailed. One of the leaders remembered the teamg a cheer was called for, then a song, a spirited marching song. As voices were recovered, a peal rang out as a song of victory. It was welcome music across the beaten field. Members of the class of December, 1927, who have rejoiced and wept together for your school, you will meet many disappointments and defeatsg there will be blows to bear, dragons of despair to overthrow. Crush them with a song of victory. Often the score may be against you, but don't let yourselves be crushed. Fortunate will you be if you can retain your strength of youth, and with this rise again over all misfortunes.

December, 1927 'THE TELESCOPE Mr. F. W. Rockhold Miss C. Brown Miss E. Pence Mr. G. B. Finnegan Senior Record By RUTH LEsc1NsK1, '28 Robert Fontana, President: Alice Lassalle, Vice Presidentg Hattie' Tanton, Secretary: Louis Prato, Treasurerg Louis Fzgeac, Representative. HE December, 1927, graduating class numbers one hundred and twelve. Of tl'1iS number, twelve will continue their learning in college. This class was the first to enter what is now the old building of the school and their's is the twelfth commencement. The present Senior class, with its many leaders, has contributed much to uphold the standards of Galileo in studies as well as in social activities. When they reached upper class standing they were the first Low Threes to join with High Juniors in a Junior Day. As Low Seniors all upper classmen were guests at their dance. They are now the Senior class, representing true Galileans. The first entertainment presented by them as High and Mighties was the Freshmen Re- ception, their guests including the largest Freshman class ever registered at Galileo. The day, however, which is looked forward to by every Senior in the history of any school, is Senior Day. It marked the tinal entertainment given by the Seniors. A program was presented in the auditorium of the school which displayed much humor, originality, and good acting on the part of the following Seniors: Alice Lassalle, Hattie Tanton, Robert Fontana, Fred Devert, Dorothy Nelson, Edith Langert, Sam Wisefield, Marcella Oberti, Jeanette Ritschy, Irma Tofanelli, Roy Scola, Margaret Luciani, Effie Swain, Dorothy Kane, Theodore Judah, Louis Kraemer, Claire Silberstein, Dorothy Freeman, Chester Ressler, Adeline Palma, Marian Mc- Kinnon, Elwood Camp. Rene Codis, Libero Cuniberti, Frank Howard, Margaret French, Leo Ten Eyck, and Jennie Favalora. A dance in the gymnasium concluded the day's fun, which was as successful as all of the social activities of the class already mentioned. Now that graduation time is upon them, these boys and girls regret the thought of ending their golden school days. Alice Lassalle and Jack Logan were chosen as salutatorian and valedictorian, respectively, for the commencement exercises in the school auditorium on December 14, 1927. Alice will be remembered for her many appearances in Drama Club presentations and Jack held the office of Student Body President for the fall of 1927. The honored guest of the occasion was Senator Daniel Murphy, a member of the San Francisco Board of Education and a prominent San Francisco banker. The major credit for the Seniors' success is due to the four graduate advisors: Miss E. Pence, head of the Modern Languages Department: Miss C. Brown, English instructor: Mr. F. Rock- hold, head of the Mathematics Department: and Mr. G. Finnegan, teacher of English and Mathe- matics. Miss Pence has worked untiringly in her efforts to help these young people attain their goals. Mr. Finnegan has turned out many a silver-tongued orator. Miss Brown and Mr. Rock- hold will also have honored places in the hearts of their Seniors. As for the Senior oflicers, to Robert Bob Fontana, the president, the Class of '27 extends its appreciation for his guidance. Alice Lassalle, vice president, has been a capable co-worker. Hattie Tanton, keeper of the minutes, also comes in for her share of praise. Louis Prato, Senior treasurer, has cared for the class finances excellently, while Louis Figeac as representa- tive has kept the graduates well-informed on council activities. lFivel
