MY THANKS . . . T0 ALL - who made this 1954 Hoofprints possible . . . there are so many people who have received very little credit or recognition for their untiring efforts and work . . . lVlr. Freier who has been outstanding in his efforts as sponsor and spearhead of this organization . . . to Pat Ruppert for her fine cover design and her divider pages . . . to Diane Roberts for her cartoons . . . to Janet Snowberger who wonderfully managed to keep the business part, along with Alice Ann Bobbit, out of my hair . . . to Mr. Caywood our contact with the Long Beach Press-Telegram who engraves, binds, and prints our hook . . . to lVlr. Garner who was patient and untiring in taking pictures . . . to Mr. Allman and the photography club who provided us with pictures also . . . to Lenore Lafon who took over a large responsibility in putting some of this book together . . . to the teachers who were very understanding and helpful . . . to the Janitors who let us in halls or rooms to get things we would carelessly forget . . . to lVlr. Waller for his valuable time in helping us out of situations . . . to Mrs. McCoskey who was always around to help . . . and last but not least to Andrea Edwards, Editor, without whose help this book would have never been possible. There are so many people and so little space to say thank youg so in accordance with our theme, in xthe words of that famous comedian, Bob Hope, l can Claudia Archulerta Arthur Freier say . . . thanks for the memory.'

Shown above are members of the Girls' League who modeled clothes designed by the Simplicity Pattern Company. This assembly was especially enjoyed by the fashion-minded misses of Micohi, Shown in the above picture is the combined Marine Band from Camp Pendleton. It appeared during the year and presented a fine program. Featured with the band was a member of the Women Marines. Above is Mary Glenn Heilmann, President of the Girls' League, who presided over the meetings this year. Many new amendments were added to the constitution at these meetings. Shown above is an example of the excellent Boys' League assemblies held this year. The Sparling School of Diving, represented by the speaker, Mr. E. K. Cross, gave an interesting ac- count of diving and also was considerate enough to answer many questions regarding diving. Another of the assemblies considered the most enjoyable during the year by the boys of Micohi, was Wrestling Revelations with the famous Bert- rand Shurtleff as speaker. All of the boys were entertained by the witty and well phrased answers to some of the questions which have arisen in connection with wrestling. All the boys of Mira Costa well remembers the occasion on which the auditorium was converted into a foreign car showroom. Each boy had the opportunity to view and learn about the specifica- tlons of each car. 42 All the students at Mira Costa enjoyed the wonderful harmony that was part of The Royal Guard's song program. The assembly was soon rocking with laughter as the Guards began their take-off on Oh Happy Day liberally sprinkled with bebop jokes. This assembly was the second put on by this group.
