FEBRUARY CLASS ROM the time that Senior A's proudly displayed their new class sweaters on the opening day of the semester until graduation, the February Class performed its numerous activities under the leadership of Charles Blackburn, president: John Doria, vice-president, Gail Pitzer. secretary-treasurer, and the other thirteen members of the cabinet. The social hour, at which ambitious seniors mastered the art of dancing, was enjoyed weekly in the Girls' Gym. l-lome Coming Day on October 26 was enthusiastically celebrated with a parade of colorful floats up EI Cajon Boulevard, followed by a rally in the stadium. November 16, the day of the traditional grid struggle with San Diego High School, will be remembered by graduates as a highlight of their senior year. Take My Advice, the class play, ran for three nights, Novem- ber 28, 29, and 30, at the Roosevelt Auditorium. John Doria, adorned with a big black mustache and a fat cigar, stole the show as the unfortunate victim of all oil stock salesmen. Numerous seniors discovered the thrill of dancing at the Military Ball on December 6 and the A. S. B. Ball on December I3. Cn January IS, Senior A's experienced the exclusive joy of ditching to Pine Valley. Cabinet member Bud lsham was respon- sible for the fun the class had while dancing, hiking, horseback riding, playing baseball, and, especially, eating. The solemn beauty of Vespers, held in the First Methodist Church on February 2, made a deep impression on the minds of seniors. Dr. George l-l. Warmer gave an inspirational address on Facing the Unknown. Traditional Tower Day, the date on which students are presented with awards and scholarships, was celebrated on the morning of February 4. After the ceremony, seniors climbed to the tower to- sign their names on the roster. The evening of February 4 was the date of the long-awaited Senior A Prom, which was arranged by Bud Fast. Bids of colorful red suede, decorated with the cardinal seal, were given to seniors who danced in l-lotel del Coronado to the music of Frank Comstock's Orchestra. An entirely new event on the Senior A Calendar was the dinner party, held on the same evening as the ball, at the U. S. Grant l-lotel for students who did not dance. Senior A Commencement on February 5 was the impressive finale. Margaret Sheoperd andyQuincy Wright gave talks on the timely topic, Education for Common Defense. With the receipt of their long-awaited diplomas, the Senior A's had at last completed their high school careers and faced a future of higher education or entrance into the working world. 25
