Sophomores The sophomore class has proved to be as loyal a class as one might desire: loyal to the school and to the school activities. Bruce Doherty, who was one of the yell leaders of the winter semester, was also a member of the B basketball team and is a member of the track team. Charles Conn and John Van Hurpin are also members of the track team. Frank Laws and Ray Foster were on the C team. This team was the championship team. Harry Uchida is to be the next year ' s C basketball team captain. Tatechi Yamamuchi was a mem- ber of the D basketball team. This class also has a fair scholarship standing. The two, Eleen Walburg and Agnes Neale, who represented our high school at the Scholarship Convention, are members of this class. Estella Schug, Ruth Sevier, Ardith Stricklin, Patricia Tabb, and Gwendolyn Moreland are all in the Glee Club. The ability of the sophomores was also shown in the literary work. Their edition of the Lark was chosen as the best by the judges. The present BIO class won last fall ' s debating tournament.

Juniors The Juniors believe in showing their loyalty to Gardena by supporting its ac- tivities in every way. As they also believe in deeds ratheir than words, a member of the Junior class is found in every line of school activity. To be a Commissioner while yet a Junior is indeed an achievement and the class is proud of Charles Brunzlel, our present Commissioner of Safety. Ruth Pow- ers received the first cup presented by Mr. Aid for progress in typing. The Senior High School debating championship was won by Pauline Cooper, Robert Courtney, and Robert Felt, members of the All class. Not only in scholarship but in athletics are the Juniors represented. Practic- ally every boy in the class was on either the first or second football team. The Junior boys carried off the inter-class football championship and also won the inter- class track m eet. In basketball the Juniors filled important positions on the A, B, and C teams. The girls are good athletes as well, having given the Seniors a hard fight for the Basketball championship; and having won the Hockey championship.
