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.
