Shining faces, bright eyes, gleaming personalities, and a maze of talent seized the audience as the class of Summer '47 rose into full view. How else could we describe the eagerness of this assemblage as they en- tered the last and most important role they were to play at Gardena High School? Vividly in mind will be held the unforgotten class parties-Oh, so many many, but each a little different, each an exciting experience-the enthusiasm over each new enterprise, the energy and exhausting work of many of the aciive leaders in the class, and labove alll the fun, companionship and pleasure of working to- gether and sharing in a group all concerned with one interest-the class!! Business is the principle guiding the most part of a senior's life. The Art Exhibit, Senior Tea, May Festival, Senior Play, Career Day, Junior-Senior Prom, Field Day, and the graduation pageant make up only a few of the events that highlight the year before they say good-bye. Chosen for outstanding ability in leadership, schol- arship, and service to school and community were the three Ephebians-Ruth Shiraishi, Dean Maxson, and John Bogart. Drawing to a climax, this class of unexhausted enthusiasm presents as their graduation pageant, The History of Gardena Valley. SENIOR OFFICERS ISummer '47 Classi President .
