CLASS HISTUIQY O our class is going to graduate! We made it in just six years, tool That's something to be proud ot, considering that we stopped along the way tor so many good times. When we tirst came here in the tall ot I934, we were just a group ot unprepossessing and rather unruly youngsters, as peagreens are likely to be, but as soon as we'd become used to high school lite and tound our places in its activities, we blossomed out and made the rest ot the school aware that we were an outstanding class. As early as the eighth grade, we looked into the matter ot parliamentary procedure and, under Miss Tillinghast's direction, made ourselves a constitution to govern the activities ot our own and suc- ceeding eighth-grade classes. ln the ninth grade, we were the tirst ot Mr. Rand's social science classes to take up the study ot ballroom dancing and party etiquette, in the war to end walltlowersf' Social science notebooks and murder trials were other never-to-be-forgotten projects in the treshman courses ot study. New vigor and inspiration were introduced to our class when we were Sophomores and the Pacitic Beach Junior High graduates came to augment our ranks. Shall we ever torget the beach picnic we held that year on Boomer Beach? We ate more sand than anything else, but we had a tumultuously good time. That was the year we man- aged the concessions at the baseball games to add to the meager tunds in the class treasury and to prepare ourselves tor handling the Junior tootball concessions. At last came the eventtul day, in the tall ot l938, when we torsook our summertime activities to return to school and become mighty Juniors. Now it seemed as it all that had gone betore had been merely to prepare us tor this important position. We rushed about helping the Seniors manage the school, being leaders in sports and club activities ot all kinds, even studying exhaustively when we had the time. Our championship tootball team attracted huge crowds, making the Junior concessions and our dream castle prom- enade highly successtul. ln our Junior year, too, the auditorium received new curtains and work was begun on the Senior Court. The Senior Court! We, the class ot l94O, were the tirst to sit on its spacious lawn 'neath the rose-entwined arbor and exercise the authority ot keeping lower classmen ott its premises. We ate lunch and studied and learned our parts tor the Senior Play there. The play was The Charm School, which was well received. For the sake ot being taithtul to the illustrious spirit ot our class, I will torbear to mention the base deed ot the ignoble Juniors who trespassed upon our court on Ditch Day, when we were torced to leave it unguarded, but otherwise Ditch Day was successtul, though we lett the school incomplete until our distinctive green sweaters and tlash-gold rings were again seen in its halls. Now we are ready to graduate. Our six years in La Jolla High School are over. No more shall we study English and Latin and chemistry in these familiar classrooms, or cheer our teams to victory under the pennant ot the scarlet and black. As the Viking ship docks, we leave the wheel ot government in the hands ot the next class, and gather our belongings to set ott on ditterent trails, with the memory ot a successtul cruise behind us.
