HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF l930 The history of the class of I93O has been one of successful organization, com- petent leadership, and good cooperation by each member of the class. As the second class 'to graduate from Muir, the class of 1930 has been a pioneer in building up the traditions that make the history of our school. The class has tried to cooperate with Mr. Mead and the fac- ulty in every way and has always aimed to put school spirit first and class spirit second. With Miss Effie Brooks as adviser, the class held its first meeting and organized on February the twenty-ninth, 1928, and since then it has been active and enthusiastic in all school affairs. The first ofiicers elected were Gus Holmes, Presidentg Dave Sutter, Vice-presidentg and Mary Vail, -Secretary-Treasurer. The thirty hayride which ended with a picnic at Oak Grove Park, the thirty theater party at the Strand Theater two nights during the run of Harold Lloyd's Speedy, and the hilarious thirty assembly where important events during the first year. The theater party was for the benefit of the student body fund and netted a very tidy profit. During our junior year Dick Robinson served as President the first semester and Ned Wood the second semester. The Vice-president was Gardner Frye, and the Sec- retary-Treasurer, Marion Willard. Most of our work this year was in cooperation with the ,senior class of twenty-nine. Aside from our general friendly feeling for the senior class, we did our best to make their last year enjoyable and successful in anticipation of our com- ing senior year, when we knew we should have to depend on the class of thirty-one for help in many ways. The brilliant red and gold jockey caps which appeared in the fall .served their purpose in reminding the other classes what the class colors were. In April another theater party was held at the Strand Theater. The proceeds from this party went to finance the junior-senior prom, which was held in May. This was the first prom to be given a senior class graduating from Muir, and everyone agreed that from every standpoint it was a real success. Class officers for the senior year were Gus Holmes, President, Dorothy Mongreig, Vice-presidentg and Marion Willard, Secretary-Treasurer. Orders were taken at the be- ginning of the year for the class sweaters, which were received just before Christmas. In November the class had a Hallowe'en party in a deserted house in Altadena. A hayride preceded the party, and after the party was over, the wagons were there again to take every bone back to the school. The senior class play, Square Crookr, was held in the Washington ,junior High Auditorium in December. Large crowds attended both nights. They fully appreciated the humor of the play and the ability of the players. One event which was -enjoyed very much was the absolutely unauthorized senior ditch day at Mount Lowe. Probably it was enjoyed more because of its being unauthorized and without a single chap- -erone. The class of 1930 organized the Alumni Society, through which it is hoped to keep in touch with the alumni of Muir. The first Alumni Dance was held at the Thursday Morning Clubhouse in LaCanada. ln February, thirty-four members of the class graduated. -Of these some went to U.C.I..A., some to U.S.C., some to Pasadena junior College, and others remained at Muir to take post graduate work. In March the seniors presented an assembly, and in April senior sport day was held, with the school open to seniors for sports and games during the afternoon and evening. The class history, the class will, the class prophecy, and the class poem were read senior class day. The last social activity of the year was the junior-senior prom at the LaCanada Country Club immediately following the ,graduation exercises in the Rosebowl, which closed the history of the class of 1930.
