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.

The Most Interesting lperson I Know HIC is small, has wonderful eyes of blue that look at you unllinchingly, dark brown curly hair that reminds you of silk and velvet, and a chubby ever-rosy face. lt was her face that won nie at first sight. VVhen she! was in deep thought, her eyes became sober, her face lost its tint, and even her hair took on a somber aspect. Wlhen joy was in her heart her eyes began to sparkle, her lips began to curve, the rose flowed back into her cheeks, and even her tresses seemed to smile back at me. Since the first time I saw her l have learned that every change of thought, every type of emotion is registered on her face. Although her hair is bobbed, she is not a tlapper. Indeed, she seems to take little interest in things that usually claim a girl's attention. She rarely goes to a party and when she does at least one of her parents accompany her. She does not dance so far as I know and she is no great talker. Birds and animals always interest her, however, and she also likes to ride. As I said before, she is not a Happerg and yet there are times when she actually delights in Hirting. Although I am modest by nature, I can truly say that she has tried to charm me with her smile on several occasions. I must con- fess, however, that I smiled in return. I am not her only victim for she has practiced her wiles on many others, but, I say it once more, she is NOT a Happer. This most interesting person has very few faults but perhaps I should men- tion them, nevertheless. Ifirst, I must confess she is inclined to be lazy. This is the fault of her parents, however. They think she is a perfect doll and conse- quently do not allow her to do work of any kind. She does not even wash the dishes! No, indeed not! X'Yhile her mother toils in the kitchen, she sits com- fortably in a chair or on the hed and plays with a doll or looks at a hook or listens to the radio. And sleep, my how she can sleep! She sleeps in the night timeg she sleeps in the daytiineg she sleeps anytime and anywhere she pleases. Second, she seems to have very poor table manners. Perhaps I am not the one to criticize her but, nevertheless, I thought lingers and hands had long ago passed out of use as implements for transporting food to the mouth. Not so she. I doubt if she could handle a fork or knife in a becoming manner. In fact, if she thinks it necessary, she will make direct contact between her mouth and the desired morsel. Lastly. she is quite conceited, This fact is fully demonstrated by the way she makes her parents step lively to obey her slightest wish Indeed, everyone seems to think she is a queen and they her subjects. Perhaps you have guessed the name of the person of whom I speak. If you have not, I shall say for your benefit that the subject of the above discourse is now spending her second year on this earth and has not yet a full set of teeth. Further- more, she cannot walk unless assisted by another. LLOYD Bemis '23, Dawn Iluylvrvule and flu' birds' clear roll Duylvrcule and zlzitys call llitzlee lIIUfl'17'11I my sleep.
