LA PURISIMA tor, the Dramatic Commission, composed of Lois Jennings, Leo Archer, Minnie Cooley, Donald Hall, Muriel Read, Erminio Manfrina, Ruby Parker, and Harry Betaque, put on a three act play, The Intimate Strangers , by Booth Tark- ington. So well pleased was the Queen that she decreed a holiday on April 22, providing she be taken on a picnic. E1 Capitan'was decided upon as the place to make merry, and on that day everyone had a royal time. The class has also made a reputation in knightly deeds, derbies, cricket, and rugby in this reign. Parliament will adjourn, June thi1'd, thus closing the history of the class of '31. 6 I' THE WAVES I walked beside the restless, moving ocean, And as I walked I watched the waves roll in. They slowly rose and fell in cease-less motion, But still their goal they always failed to win. Far up and down the shore was heard the din Of their protests against the stern, gray rock. And he1'e and there I saw the flashing fin Of some audacious fish that dared to mock The avenging fury of wave against the scornful rock. But though the silent rock may now show scorn, And proudly disregard its slow decay, The lowly Waves beat on, for they know how forlorn, With fallen pride, it may be, some future day, The ledges half gone, broken, the sharp points all worn. -Marjorie Fischer, '32 1. :1: L15l

LA PURISIMA 114 FB fl: Pk Pk Senior History It was in the reign of Miss Holmes that we were led through the desert of the first days of high school. We saw looming before us a terrible appari- tion of the coming reception, but it was only a mirage. We were guided td the oasis of the Freshman return party and started on a firm basis to our climb of fame. Under our next ruler, Mrs. Solovsky, we welcomed the new members into the kingdom. Development during this period was for the most part educa- tional, although. we did have entrants in marathons and tournaments. As Juniors we had the Literary Dictator of the school, Miss Bowen, as our leader. With such backing we felt equal to anything. So before Christ- mas we gave a play, Booth Tarkington's Seventeen . The money from this went to swell the fund for the annual State Ball, otherwise known as the Junior Prom. Lest our minds be diverted from the preparation for this great social aifair, we, while the other classes frolicked at the Seashore and in the woods, were kept moving along the narrow path by our despotic ruler until after the Ball had been given. ' Parliament was organized August 25, 1930, under the benevolent des- potism of Miss Fisk and her ministry. First Semester Second Semester Dale Callis .... .......
