8 GARFIELD GLEANER ALOHA OE The class of ' 23, which is now leaving Garfield, departs with not a little heart ache, and a sorrow which we will no doubt re- member until we are of a good old age. When one leaves a school which one has attended several years, it is like the little bird, who, after learning to fly, spreads its tiny wings and flies out into the wide world to discover new wonders, and to adapt him- self to new conditions. The thf-ee bright years at Garfield have been brightened, I hope, by good marks, which bring on an ambition to do better things and which give us the self-confidence which is necessary to success. Thanking the teachers who have made us work, we leave Garfie ld with an ambition for that which is worth while. Alice Clark, H9. HIGH NINE ONE Miss Bonney ' s class is composed of twen- ty-eight girls and fifteen boys. We have had happy times, some of which are related in the following paragraphs: One day in the early part of the term Miss Bonney took several of the girls to the Piedmont Baths. Leaving the school at 2:30 we arrived at our destination about an hour later. We spent a very enjoyable afternoon and arrived home about 7 p. m., very tired and very happy. In athletics the class has been very suc- cessful. The boys won the ninth grade championship in the volley ball league, win- ning fifteen out of nineteen game. The girls of our class and the girls of Mrs. Brennan ' s class won the school volley ball championship and played other schools, winning two out of three gam es. Miss Bonney gave a musical entertain- ment for the Sirkus in the study-hall, en- titled, The Midnight Hour, in which six of our class took part. This was very suc- cessful and, deducting all expenses, $135 was cleared. We were given the statue Inspiration for the sixth highest percentage on the honor roll in the first report period, and for the fourth in the second period. One Saturday Miss Riley took the ancient history class to the museum in Golden Gate Park, where they spent about two hours in the morning. Lunch was eaten in the Japa- nese Tea Garden and in the afternoon they went to Sutro Baths. As a whole the class has taken part in everything that has happened during the term.

THE HISTORY OF MISS ERASER ' S CLASS Miss Eraser ' s class of the High Nines has been quite successful this term. Both the boys and girls have done very well in ath- letics. The girls have had after-school games with the teachers in basketball. They have also had many volley-ball and soccer games. The boys have won many honors in their football and soccer ball games. Mr. Kilbum has organized after-school leagues for the boys of all grades. The boys of our class have enjoyed the games very much. Some of the girls participated in the program at the Greek Theater on Armistice Day. Our class has the honor of having two members on the Gleaner staff, Walter Mor- rison, as assistant editor and James McCor- mick, as subscription manager. Miss Fraser, our advisor, has in many ways helped us to become a successful class. Dorothy Herrick, Class Reporter. CLASS DIRECTORY, H-9-II 1. The class sweets — James Cain (sugar cane). 2.
