SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the graduating class of nineteen twenty-six, are the first class to go through all four years of high school at the La Jolla High. When La Jolla High School started we entered as the Freshmen. For four years we have watched our school grow. Of this progress we are justly proud. When we began we were forty-five strong, but have since dwindled to thirty-four, receiving and losing members at different times. We still feel, however, that we are a representative group. Our first act of interest to the school was the presentation of the bulletin-board which has since taken its own important place in the main hall. During all four years our class had been well represented in all activities. Some of our members have held ofiices in the Student Body, two of them being presidents of that organization with success. The class has always been exceptionally well represented in Athletics. Our girls helped win the Volley ball and Basketball championships, and our boys distinguished themselves in Football, Basketball, and Track. During our first year Eileen Caldwell was president, and Mr. Sandin, who has since left us, was our advisor. During our Sophomore year we presented a picture of President Roosevelt to the Student Body. Mr. DuLaney was our advisor, and it was due to his inspiration and assistance that we finished our year so profitably. During this year one of our mem- bers wrote a class song which was later adopted by the school as the school song. This song alone will preserve our name in school annals. In our Junior year we endeavored to prepare ourselves for our Senior Year and all the work and responsibility which we knew would be ours. We also offered our services to the Seniors, and assisted them in many ways. We helped the Student Body fund along by giving numerous hot-dog and candy sales throughout the year. We ended the year with the big Junior-Senior Prom which was a great success. At this time, however, we were greatly saddened by the death of one of our most loved and admired members, Frederick Brachmann. He died after a long illness and left a vacant place in both the class and our hearts. Willard Barnes was our class president during the entire year. During this our final year we hope and expect to accomplish a great deal. We are planning our ditch day, senior day, and of course we all are very much interested in the Senior Class Play which we hope to present successfully before the end of the school year. And then-last but not least-will come our Commencement. The officers for the first semester of this year were: President, Harriet Gridleyg first Vice-president, Paul Williams, second Vice-president, Chas. Ray, Secretary, Eleanor Barnes, Treasurer, Aldine Dicksong Executive Committee representative, Margaret Allen, Student Government Representatives, Edward Easton and Kenneth Clover, Girls' League Representative, Eileen Caldwellg Yell Leader, Chas. Ray. The officers for the second semester are: President, Harriet Gridleyg first Vice- president, Joe Richertg second Vice-president, Willard Barnes, Secretary, Mildred Robinson, Treasurer, Billie Watrousg Executive Committee Representative, Edward Easton, Student Government Representatives, Kenneth Clover and Thomas Gwynneg Girls' League Representative, Tessie Gianninig Yell Leader, Chas. Ray. We are indebted and grateful to both Mr. Enyeart and Mr. Williamson for their inspiring help and kindly advice. They have been our advisors this year, and have helped us over many hard places by their interest and sympathy. It has been pleasant to go through La Jolla High School, and when we leave it for the last time, we hope to leave behind us as many happy memories as we take with us. -Jane Rose.
