B-ll Class fc HE Bll class is one of the peppiest classes in school. Fun and £ j activity play no small part in the regular routine of this class. V V The class has many prominent members, though it is especially proud of its Athenians, who are Beverly Cain, Mary Conner, Takeko Ogo and Lois Sibley. Two of the outstanding members of this class were Mary Conner, secretary of the Girls ' League, and Mildred Moss, pianist in the orchestra. Two important parties were given in each semester — one by the girls, and one by the boys. This year the boys gave the girls a dance, while the girls gave a beach party.

M fc ,TTTCf CLASS is one of the liveliest in the school. It is their fond M C claim that they have secured two of the most popular faculty V J members at Gardena for their advisers. These teachers are Mrs. Voelker for the girls, and Mr. Pinnell for the boys. These two classes have been using their home room periods to great advantage. The girls have made a patch work quilt in their room. The plan is that each girl has a square of the quilt to work on individually. Much rivalry and excitement has been caused among them by the idea, for each girl tried to get her square finished first, and yet have it neatly done. The boys have decided to spend their home room time in earnest study, and all affirm that the extra studying each day helps quite a great deal. The class has been quite active socially. Early in the second semester, the girls and Mrs. Voelker enjoyed a theatre and skating party. Later the boys, accompanied by Mr. Pinnell, had a swimming party at the plunge. Both of these events were very successful. There were so many well-liked students in the class, that the class elec- tions were very close and exciting. However, the following officers were finally elected: Presidents, Sibyl Walker and George Forbes; vice presi- dents, Ruth Skinner and Melvin Cooper; secretaries, Juanita Eaton and Clyde Drinnen ; and the Girls ' League representative was Marjorie Olney.
