A rthur Burns N NOVEMBER -1, 1026, the Alumni Association started another year with new vigor and enthusiasm. lt was on this date that the Annual Roll Call and Alumni Dinner was held. At a meeting before the dinner, the officers were elected and the policy of the Alumni Association was shaped. Following the meeting was a dinner-dance, during which the Roll Call and a short program was held. The dinner-dance was a wonderful success, and the attendance was larger than at any preceding dinner-dance of the Association. The most important move made at this meeting was a decision to hold a social dance after every quarterly meeting. Special bulletins are to he mailed to every memluer announcing the meeting and dance, and any other matter of im- portance. The hrst meeting was held 'lanuary 29, 1027, followed hy a dance. There was a good attendance. The second meeting and dance, held on April 247, was even a greater success than the first. The Annual Alumni Ball, held on Saturday night, May 7, improved the reputation gained in former years. True to its policy of doing new things, the Alumni Association gave the Senior Class a dinner at Croce's Cafe on May 21, the night of the Senior Ball. The dinner served two purposes: liirst, to initiate the Seniors into the Alumni Associationg and secondly, to he a class reunion for the Alumni. The class with the largest percentage of its members present will have its class numbers on the Alumni pennant. Following the dinner. the memhers of the Senior Class and the Alumni Association went to the Senior Rall. The Alumni Scholarship lfund is creating a great deal of interest this year. The purpose of the Scholarship Fund is to aid a deserving student through college should he need the help. The fund is large enough to he hut into operation this yearg hut due to the fact that there are many different views on the way of awarding the fund, action will he deferred for another year. The Scholarship Fund was the main topic of the meeting of April 20, and it was not until then that the impossibility of awarding the fund this year was apparent. A special committee was appointed to study the matter. lts rules will he puhlished at the opening of school next August in order that the students may prepare themselves to apply or to compete for the fund. The Alumni Association is fully aware of the dilh- culties to he encountered, lioth in the Alumn Association itself and in the minds of outsiders interested in the fund. lt helieyes that, although the delay for another year will he felt hy many, the postponement will ultimately hring aliout greater success to the Scholarship Fund. These activities show that the Alumni Association of l.ivermore High is very much alive. lt is a hond of union for its memliers, and a liond lletween them and their old school.
