The crowd was hushed on the evening of June sixteen as the first strains of the Alma Mater brought the sound of voices of the class of 55 . With a sudden pang of sadness we realized that the last of our high school days were over,that this evening markeda major mile postin our lives. There were mingled emotions-pride, humility, happiness, sadness, and excitement. As our minds moved back over the pastfour years many happy thoughts came crowding back. The courageous, but, ohl, so very insecure freshman year as we got our first glimpse of the ever circling whirlpool of school activities, the thrill of the first pep rally with its bubbling spirit and excitement.

The last football game, the Varsity Dance, the basketball games, the Hawaiian Hop, and the Coronation Ball . These were things we would never be a part of again, the wonder- ful memories we would cherish forever. I The stirring strains of Pomp and Circumstance abruptly brought us back. ln a few brief moments the Seniors would go forward into the sunlight and ,shadows as A l um ni of Mira Costa. Yes, behind us lay the wonderful years of high school,but before us lay ......... the Worldl 22
