Commencement Silent reflections of the future, past memories, anticipation of summer “freedom”; all these char- acterized the final month of school. Four year veterans realized that as adults, they shared the responsibilities of change. But rumors of an unofficial ditch day and excitement of graduation added chaos to their hectic lives. While seniors pondered their plans, underclassmen reveled in spring. Despite approaching finals, students wasted little time in enjoying the warm summer sun. Amid this pandemonium, extra- curricular activities drew to a close. Quill and Scroll and Spanish National Honor Society held their annual initiations to honor students. Baseball, track, and tennis wound up their respective seasons, physical ed classes tra- veled outdoors for swimming ex- ercises, and Copper Cat members proudly distributed the annuals. The final assembly marked the year’s official end for underclass- men, while commencement cli- maxed the seniors’ twelve years.

“The riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal. There is a little finishing canter before coming to a stand- still. There is time to hear the kind voice of friends and to say to one’s self: The work is done. ” Holmes II 1936 BASKETBALL TEAM: FRONT ROW: Henry Tellez, Raul Villarreal, Carl Berra, Richard Hinojos, Rancho Joya. 2ND: Leo Gutierrez, Simone Onate, William Clay, David McMillien, Luis Gonzales.
