LENNIK WELCH ■ Freshman Chorus (1); Record Board (4); Solonscope (3, 4); Vari-Typer (3, 4); G. A. A. (1); Masque (1). Last but certa’nlv not least in our list of illustrious seniors is Lennie with a smile and a friendly word for everyone.—A skiing enthusiast and an ardent baseball fan She likes all good music, especially Dixieland jazz—Lennie plans to become a medi- cal secretary. CARLTON JONES Our official women hater is reserved and quiet but takes a liking to arguing, especially in Business Law—Carlton is blessed with red, natural curly hair, which is the envy of many. “All’s well that ends well.” OUR BOYS ROBERT ADAMI “BX” “BX” left us reluctantly in the summer of ’50 to fight for Uncle Sam. We’re sorry he won’t be here to graduate with us, but the class of ’51 is proud to claim him as a member, and we know he’s making a good Marine. RUDOLF GOMEZ “Rudy” “Rudy” left with the Marine Reserve and the class hasn’t been the same. He must miss fishing and hunting the way the class of ’51 misses him. DONALD MacAULEY “Dow” Don is another member of our class whom wre lost to the Leathernecks. Don always had a smile for someone, and was popular with his classmates. Don also has great artistic ability. Our loss is the Marines gain.

Class History Under The Big Tent OR Our Four Years In JVlHS As Freshmen amateur performers We enter the side door; In that “big tent” we were to rise To fame that will last forevermore. As spring came on in ’49 We gaily felt the urge To have a party—so we did, And a good time did emerge. To welcome us the veteran stars Staged a reception spree; Although we didn’t know the “ropes”. We sang and laughed with glee. After a nice long vacation We returned to our circus ground; Being juniors and “big wheels” Was really terrific we found. To lead our Freshman Circus Band We elected Billy Wong. Peg Shepard, Betty Hayward, and Kay Ballou helped him along. Now President Peggy stepped to the front, Ann Hoxie and Pat Taylor too; Vaughn Stewart took in the cash These officers we couldn’t boo! In January the word “exams” Scared us for many days, But when we got by this ordeal, We found we’d roped some A’s. Behind footlights upon the stage Bethany, Joyce, and Jim could be seen Acting their way through “Londonderry Air” And say! they were sure keen. Later in our Freshman year, We had a glorious chance To entertain the Seniors With a gala winter dance. Ann Hoxie won a scholarship For her debating prowess, And Bethany Thayer with her dancing Was really one to wow us. As sophomores—under the “big tent” The leaders of our circus ring Were Ward, Corskie, Amor, and Howe, And they were really quite the thing! The operetta “Mikado” featured Pat Taylor, Carol Howe, and Beth, Fred Curtis, and Joyce were colossal too And last but not least, Jean “Stef”. Star performers in “Kind Lady” Were Pats (Peake and Taylor), Carol, and Joyce; And Eleanor Fletcher sang “Patience” With her melodious voice. The main event of our Junior year, (And this was no side show) Was the Junior Prom—oh! such fun For every belle and beau. Our class was fast developing talent In twirling, cheering, and band; And always from the spectators We got a great big hand. Back to school in 1950 We paraded through the front door Proud we were with privileges, We got respect and honor galore! 30
