PRINCIPAUS MESSAGE g This issue of La Purisima goes to press just as we are rejoicing over victory in Europe and dedicating our efforts to speedy victory in Asia. In the midst of war activity, it brings a picture of the attempt we are making to proyide our youtlii with normal educational advantages and prepare them, not only for war, but for adulthood, most of which will be lived in times of peace.

This must be a substantial peace, one to insure humanity against further unnecessary sutfering. This peace which must live will be lived by us. This is the greatest challenge ever met by Youth in the entire history of man. Education will be an instrument to help us meet this challenge and maintain this peace. It will prepare us as good citizens, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, in the brotherhood of one world where the only race is mankind.

After the rough and rugged treatment, though, we had real re- freshments, good dancing, and swell games. The return party was a dance. Following tradition, one bright day we cleaned the HL, and it could be seen for miles around. And as usual, it rained a few days later. Many of our girls sang in the Choir or were in the Drum Corps. The boys participated in sports. SOPHOMORE What a year this has been! VVe surprised the freshmen when, instead of an 1n1t1at1on, we gave a dance with games and refreshments. Their return party was fun too. ' We gave the annual sophomore dance as a Ration Dance. The gym was patriotically decorated, and ration cards were given as programs. A large percentage of sophomores participated in band, choir, orchestra, boys' and girls' sports, and helped present Talent Night. JUNIOR VVhat a year! VVe hit liigh in everything we did, and we really made a fine showing. VVe had Friday Nite Dances galore, These were grand successes. XVe sold magazine subscriptions and made good. The Newspaper Bride, our junior extravaganza, was given on May 5. It was an unusual success. In the spring we gave the annual junior Prom, the theme being King Neptune's Gardenfl Vile danced to wonderful music in a truly aquatic atmos- phere. Our class has been well represented in all activities. - SENIGR What, has a year passed already when We had just, or so it seemed, final- ly obtained the title of seniors? I The first part of the year everyone was out yelling or biting finger nails at football games. Most of our boys were on the team. Our formal Christmas Ball, the first of its kind, was a great success. So the bovs could show off, we had a whiskereeno contest. Sadie Hawk- , ' - 1 ' xv ins Day ended the contest, and the dance that evening was the grand finale. It was all in western style. Our senior play, Ever Since Eve, was presented on April l9 and. 20, to huge audiences at both performances. The play was wonderful and definitely a success. Senior Ditch Dav popped up in the middle of much discussion and curios- itv. It surprised everyone except the Seniors, who spent the day roasting, swim- ming, eating, or sleeping. Some of our boys are in theservice, and. we are very proud of them. lVe are only sorry that they couldn't have been with us all four years. Now donlt you think we have been worthy seniors?

JUNIOR CLASS llc juniors give much credit for the success of our past year to the of- ficers and advisor who served well in their various offices and in meeting their obligations and responsibilities. Throughout the year we have promoted Friday night dances, the first of which was given September 22. A Masquerade on October 3l brought out a crowd of oddly-costumed characters, all of whom contributed to the fun and gaiety of the evening. Our participation in a magazine sales contest raised funds for our treas- ury. Prizes were awarded to the persons who sold the most magazine subscrip- tions that week. VVe gave the Spring Formal on April 6 at the Wialnut Street U. S. O. The annual Junior Prom was held in the Veterans Memorial Building in TX Garden by Nloonlight with a flower-covered fence surrounding the dance floor and a fish pond in the center. The entrance, formed by two walks up to a trellis, opened out into the pleasant scene of a garden under a bright full moon. All in all, it was .something we shall long remember. At the closing of our junior year, we are anticipating an equally eventful and successful senior year. First Semester Forrest Staffanson ..... Bob Scolari .............. Rosie Chilsoni ,........

SOPHOMORE CLASS This year the Sophomore class laid the carpet for the newly-arrived Freshmen with the traditional Sophomore-Freshman Dance, September 22, 1944. T he breathless C no kiddingj climax was a treasure hunt which ended with 'X everyone winded and happy. Our class has been unusually active in all student body activities this year. These include band, choir, athletics, dramatics, scholarship society, and social programs. Because of the cooperation and teamwork of our class and our advisors, we have certainly had a successful and pleasant year. First Semester William Petersen Buddy Aguilar .... Betty Woodfin ..

FRESHMAN CLASS The freshman class this year dicln't exactly start off with a bang, but we haven't done so badly since. The sophomores gave us a party fit for a king, who would have to be a bit eccentric to enjoy running all over town on a scavenger hunt. ln spite of all that, everyone enjoyed a good time. 1 lVe tried to clean the Lf, but as usual it washed away in the rain. At least we can say we tried. Even though the return party was late in the year, it a lot of fun. The freshmen have been Well represented in sports and other activities throughout the year. XVe hope that the next freshinan class will have as much fun as we have had this year. -Eleanor Rudolph ESHMEN FRESHMEN FRESHM EIREANIZATIUNS URBAN-IZATIIIINS A. S.

Coach Lair With the resumption of a more active sports program, the Lettermen's Club was reorganized this year after a lapse of two years. Starting with only one former member, club membership has now grown to a total of thirty-one mono- gram winners. The main event of the year's activities was a barbecue at Refugio on May 30 which, because of wartime restrictions, was given instead of the annual Letter- menis Banquet. Two initiations were administered this year. The first was held at the High School Gym on December 15, the other, on May 30, was in conjunction with the barbecue at Refugio. New members taken into the club were: Bob Arkley, Ray Bishop, Ralph Butterfield, Don Butterfield, Edwin Collier, Bob Cox, Delbert Daniels, Bob Ewing, Duane Gullikson, Bob Hapgood, Kenneth Hooker, George Ingamells, Harley Kolding, Bill Laubly, Manuel Machado, Clyde Marquart, Doug McClellan, Bill Miller, Dick Mortensen, Bill Parks, Bill Perry, Rich- ard Perry, Bill Petersen, Leroy Randall, Bob Robison, Jim Smith, Conrad Van Clief, Charles Versola, Jack Waldschmidt, Jack Wall.

In the future they plan to give another party, bigger and better than the last. -Beverly Ainsworth ORGANIZATIONS ORGANIZATIONS THE CHOIR The choir, under the direction of Miss Balaam, has consisted of about 30 girls. There have been quite a few performances given, some of them: High School P. T. A., the U. S. O., Rotary Club and American Legion, Spring Con- cert, Baccalaureate and Graduation. The Christmas program, on December 20 was given by both girls and boys. There have been a few special numbers given by Betty Malcomson on the accordian, Lois Stillman on the vibraharp, Beverly Alexander on the flute and vocal solos by Pat Douglass. Our piano accompanist has been Beverly Ains- worth. The choir all agree it has been both a pleasure and a privilege to have Miss Balaam for our music teacher. -Wfanda R. Cowan BAND This year under the very able direction of Miss Mary K. Balaam our band really went places. Miss Balaam, an alumnus of Lompoc High, formed a marching unit as well as a concert band at the beginning of the year. VVe did some marching for the public during the first semester. After the Christmas program, in which the band took part, we began preparing for the Annual Spring Concert, presented on March 22. This concert was very successful and the band members showed much talent in performing. Soloists at the concert were Bob Hapgood, cornetg Bud I-Iobbs, bass, and Bill Alexander, clarinet. On April 20 our band journeyed to Santa Ynez where we gave a con- cert in return for the concert Santa Ynez presented to us here. Altogether, this was a very successful year for our band. -Bill Alexander STAGE The stage crew this year was under the direction of Mr. Galbraith with Duane Gullikson and Tommy McCall as stage managers. YVe made sets for the junior and senior plays, which required our mak- ing new flats, door and window frames and a fireplace. IVe also arranged the cyclorama curtains for the Christmas Pageant, both Band Concerts, the Dramatics Class Play and the Ir. Alpha Club Play. All in all, we had a busy year. -Tommy McCall' ORGANIZATIONS ORGANIZATIONS LIGHTING The light crew has been kept rather busy this year fixing bells, light circuits and setting up the lights cn the stage for the junior and senior plays, band concerts. and for the play, VICTORY VANITIES.

VVith the help of Mrs. Trane, the girls made drapes, covered stools and painted the walls. This gave the room a homey effect, thus making it a more pleasant place in which to sew. VVhen the library was moved from its former place in the study hall to room l2, this room was painted and a new floor put in. The sewing class then made the drapes for the new library. Now the students work in a pleasant li- brarv Without being disturbed. Under the direction of Miss Leland, the cooking class started school lunches this year. The cafeteria has been very successful and has provided the students with hot lunches every day. The carpentry class, supervised by Hr. Galbraith, their teacher, iswork- ing on a project which will be of great value to the school. It is a porch which extends from the northwest door to the gym. IVhen this is completed, it will shelter students walking along there from the rain. The carpentry class also painted the bleachers blue and white in time for the opening of the football season. Under the direction of Miss Lund, the three girls in Advanced Art are making drapery material for the art room, cutting and stenciling their original designs. This promises to be a very attractive and interesting set of drapes, ORGANIZATIONS ORGANIZATIONS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS lst ROW: Bob Ewing, Jack Wall, Ralph Butterfield, Clyde Marquart, Charlie Ver- sola, Manuel Machado. 2nd ROW: Bill Parks, Bob Cox, Bob Scolari, Douglas McClellan, Stan Dover, Coach Lair. flrd ROW: Raymond Bishop, Harley Kolding, William Petersen, Richard Negus, Richard Perry. 4th ROW: George lngamells, Conrad Van Clief, Harry Brooks, Bob Robison, Bob Hapgood, Roy Randall.

We danced the evening through under the bright full moon. I wore a gardenia in my hair, and my new yellow lace formal. I'll always remember my first Prom. JUNE 3-I attended Baccalaureate Service this evening. JUNE 4-We gave the Senior Tea this afternoon. The seniors really enjoyed the refreshments and the entertainment, They thought the favors were cute. I hope that when we are seniors, the freshmen give'us as nice a tea as we gave this year. JUNE 6-I have never seen the kids so nervous as they were before graduation, but they surely were feeling different after it was all over. Mr. Hull gave a very nice speech about each one, as he handed them their diploma. It is hard to say whether I am happy or sad at seeing these seniors graduate. They are really a fine class, and we will miss them next year, although there will always be a sen- ior class. But just wait until we are seniors! We will REALLY show them.
