However. between 1907 and the present no exercises have been held at the end of the first semester. Seventy-nine seniors received their diplomas at the commencement exercises held with Grant High School at the Memorial Coliseum on January 17. The activities of the class have included monthly assemblies, a senior mixer, a banquet, and a senior play. A clever class day program, a one-act play in the form of a reminiscence called “Twenty ■■■MpMMMMHHKii'i'iiiii'iiu'iiiiiiiimimiii’ir i t) Years After,” was presented. The scene was laid in 1950 aboard a dirigible enroute for Europe. The class officers had arranged to take the trip together in order to discuss old times, and upon their tuning in on the television, the program that was seen by the aid of a “shadow box proved to be made up of numbers by members of the class who had advanced far in their chosen fields. The “last class day rite” of planting the ivy was done in mock heroic style, as the time of year did not permit the planting to be don° on the school grounds. The advisers of this class were Miss Boy-ack, Miss James, and Miss Quigley. Seventeen
