GREEN 6 GOLD given at the Lions Club. On December 12, we entertained the Student Body at a Christmas party. A play, The Christmas Guest, and a program of music and poems was presented. Santa Claus left a gift for every Senior. Again, we had a high scholastic standing. Eleven Sophomores earned membership in the local Honor Society and four in the State Chapter. In athletics and junior Red Cross activities, we occupied a prominent position. With heads held high, we began our junior year. We may well be proud of this year. Egerything we attempted was a success. We adopted the motto: Play the game, and prepared to play a winning game. In November we received our class rings and pins. On February 26, our great social event, the junior Prom, for which we had worked so hard and planned so much, was given. The Gymnasium was artistically decorated in blue and gold, our class colors. The success of our Prom exceeded our wildest expectations. On june 4 we entertained the Seniors at a de-luxe Senior-Junior Banquet which was a great success. However, we did not devote all our time to social activities. We were very interested in athletics. The boys played on various school teamsg the girls organized a basketball team and won the champion- ship for interclass games. Our Junior Class led in School Savings. With such a foundation as our first three years in high school gave us, we were sure of being THE Senior Class, And now the longed-for time has come. 'We are Seniors! just as active as ever, we are. The boys and girls still retain their place in athletics as well as in junior Red Cross work and International Correspondence. In the beginning of the term, we entertained the Freshmen and made them feel as if they'd always belonged to the Student Body. In this organization the Senior Class is well represented. Lloyd Beebe is president, Rosie Ferrario vice-president, and Elvira Holm secretary. A Senior has been president of the Honor Society during the two Senior semesters and we are proud to say that it was a Senior who won the cup presented by the Native Sons for the best essay on the History of California, Miss Bernice Nickerson taking first prize. And then came the night of the Senior Play- 'Polly With a Past. fAnd what a past charming Polly construedlj Folks say it was the best play any Senior Class ever presented. On May 12, we will have the great social event of the season-our Senior Ball. Will it be a success? With all our foregoing successes, the ball is sure to be a brilliant affair. And on May 51, Commencement, a fitting climax to four of the most successful years a class ever spent in the Livermore Union High School. There is never a road that is straight, At some point or other it branches off into a by-road. We have come to the parting of the ways. Some of us will go to workg others wll go to higher institutions of learning. Whichever road we take, we will travel with head held high, with a firm, steady tread, until we reach the end of the road where Success is spelled in blazing letters and when we get there we will still endeavor to live: . . . 1111! lllIb?t'01llflig men zrlw .rfr0z'e with gmf.r. And in the background of our memory, somewhere, will linger always the picture of an old high school, where four years of our lives were spent, and where the in- destructible quality of Friendship was firmly cemented to our characters. Old School, faithful Teachers, loving Classmates: all Friends that we cannot forget. U41

During the past four years we have been completing that career and laying the founda- tion for our characters. And Time alone can prove the worth of that foundation. The Class of '28 began immediately to make a place for itself. On Halloween the Freshman Return Party was given, and a play entitled Bargain Day at Mr. Bloominsteins' was presented. Reba Teeter's portrayal of Mr. Bloominstein has not yet been forgotten. On the same program was a vocal solo by Rosie Ferrario and a violin solo by Thelma Ferrario. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. We Went home tired but content with our first venture into society. Despite their noise and giggles, the Freshmen did not forget the needy. A number of Christmas boxes were sent to Guam and many White Gifts were distributed in the community. The Class of '28 demonstrated their scholastic ability very soon, Four members be- longed to the local Honor Society and two to the State Chapter. In athletics the class was well represented. Many of our boys were on teams in which they remained through their four high school years. At the end of our Freshman year the Livermore a High School realized that here was a class destined to leave an excellent record behind it. Our Sophomore year found us as energetic as ever. On October 11 we entertained the juniors at a dancing party in the Assembly I-lall. The Sophomores of Major C under the direction of Miss Lynam, presented a program in honor of American lfdu- cation Week. In March, American Literature program was given under the guidance of Miss Anderson. Our class had the distinction of being the only class to be asked ro speak at any outside organization.
