The tenth of June is Commencement Day, ' Tis then our spirits will be gay; ' Tis then we receive diplomas of learning- After eight years of very keen yearning; Diplomas tied with orange and white, Of which we ' ve dreamed day and night. In future we ' ll think how we walked down that aisle. Marching with heads high, in single file; The girls in their middies and skirts they made. The boys not looking one bit afraid. We shall think of our classmates far and near. Who once to us were so very dear; Many who ' ve won success in life. Becoming famous after struggle and strife. Virginia Boyd, A-8. NOTES. Three hundred Garfield alumni gathered at the school on the evening of May 14 and enjoyed a delightful evening. The entertainment included a clever program given by the alumni, followed by a ser- pentine dance. Gavien McCullagh. last year ' s capable president, will be succeeded by Thomas Dabagh, now a student at U. of C. With the high ninth graduation pro- gram on Thursday forenoon, June 9, and the high eighth diploma exercises in .the afternoon of the same day, followed by the eighth party on Thursday and the ninth on Friday, our last year at Garfield will have come to an end. Ten weeks of happy vacation stretch before us, as school will not reopen until August 22. Vacation joys be ours! JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET The University of California field was the scene of an interesting and exciting track meet last Wednesday afternoon, June first. Boys and girls from Garfield, Edison, Burbank and Willard competed in track and field events, divided into classes according to weight. Though we did not win the meet, our young athletes gave a good account of themselves and made some excellent records. Our rooting section, gay with streamers of orange and white, was by far the most attractive and our songs and yells were given with all of Garfield ' s well-known enthusiasm and pep. Our clever young yell-leader, Clayton Warren, and his two assistants, Louis Orosz and Jimmie Nor- ton, were there with the goods and looked very classy in their white suits with orange trimmings. The movie man caught us all several times and we may expect to see ourselves on the screen very soon. Miss Richardson, Mr. Rushforth, Miss Stout and all the other athletic directors deserve congratulations on the splendid showing made by all schools. Wait till next year when w r e have a real playground to practice on, and we ' ll show ' em ! Events won by Garfield students are: First Place.

ARBOR DAY. Last Arbor Day all classes planted trees in our new school grounds. Our class planted an oak tree, and along with it we planted our dearest wishes written on a little piece of paper. We are all sure that they will come true : On Arbor Day we planted a tree. An oak, the strongest kind we know. And written on bits of paper small Our future hopes did sow; For Miss Gay ' s class has high ideals, And aims to win success, In this brave world we wish to stand On top, the very best; The reason is, we ' re trying now To be honest, kind and true, So when we are tested in this world of trial, We will stand out. true blue. Alice Leyrer. BOYS ATTEND ROTARY CLUB LUNCHEON. Thirteen Garfield boys, one selected from each class, attended the luncheon given by the Rotary Club at Hotel White- cotton on May 25.

My mother says spring fever Is surely catching me, But I don ' t think it is, because I eat so well, you see. I will be glad when school is out, And vacation time has come, ' Cause then I know I ' ll get some rest, And that will help me some. With examinations over, And good marks on my card, I can afford to have spring fever Because I ' ve worked so hard. Frances Clarke, B-9. B-8 CLASS PROPHECY.
