ll? SENIOR CLASS HISTORY If was a shy group of cool Freshmen 'Ihaf enfered 'Ihe building dedicafed 'Io Trufh, Liberfy, and Tolerafion, in I93I. Whaf a fremendous changehas faken place in us since fhaf fime! To fhe pafienf and kindly help of our advisors, Miss Doak, Mr. Gibson and Mr. Sypher, and fo 'Ihe whole faculfy, we owe much. Friendships have been formed, fasfes developed, ideas engenderedg dormanf possibilifies awakened. If is fhese fhings, aparf from book learning, fhaf have comprised our acfual educafion, in which fhere has been an unconscious developmenf, a preparafion for fhe mafure walks of life xx Our firsf sfep info school acfivifies was, of course, fhe Freshman Recepfion. Bill Vorrafh, fhen presidenf of fhe Sfudenf Body, welcomed us in his own hearfy way. The high and low Freshman presidenfs falfered fheir prepared fhank you's in spife of fhe dangerous feeling lurking af each boy's pafellar region xx The Capifoline Vase, a play adopfed from Mark Twain, was fhe firsf assembly program, given by Les Hommes de Trenfe Cinq, Mr. Gibson's advisory. Doke's Ducklings, Miss Doak's advisory, supplied a heroine for fhe play. The flowery names were soon dropped when 'rhe Sophomore complex came fo fhe fore. As Sophomores, we gof our firsf chance fo show our leadership, and how well we could puf an enferfainmenf over. If was now our furn fo welcome 'rhe new Freshmen by means of fhe Freshmen Recepfion. The Junior Fair given in February, I934, was decorafed in fhe Cen'I'ury of Progress manner. Greaf expanses of solid color lined fhe boofhs, as did fhe simple and sfriking colors of fhe greaf exposifion which our carnival commemorafed. We feel iusfified in remembering if as a carnival of progress, as if neffed one hundred and sevenfy-five dollars fo fhe Sfudenf Body, passing all previous records xr Mr. Sypher's upper class advisory lfhe highs fhroughouf our four long yearsl mef in fhe boys' gymnasium. Perhaps ifs influence, along wifh Coach Sypher's, produced fhe inferesf in afhlefics fhaf fhe class possessed-however, nearly every member was on a feam represenfing our school in sporfs each year xx Our assembly program in fhe Senior year was again presenfed by Sfanford Universify, and we were pleased fo receive Mr. Kahn as presidenf of fhe Sfanford Sfudenf Body. He spoke of 'lhe im- porfance of high school sfudenfs building for fhemselves a definife aim, and fhaf fhey should work foward fhaf aim wifh all fhe deferminafion possible. He concluded fhaf fhis is parficularly imporfanf in fhese days, as shown by fhe keen compefifion nofice- able in every walk of life ww Perhaps some ofher class will carry on our habif of dec- orafing fhe halls during fhe Chrisfmas season. This year, wreafhs and a Chrisfmas free gave fo fhe building a fesfive air. A dramafizafion of The Chrisfmas Carol was given by Miss Doak's advisory fhe lasf day of school, l934 xv The mid-year gradu- afing class presenfed a differenf fype of program on Senior Nighf fhan is cusfomary. Being such a small class, if was nof able fo give a program using iusf maferial from ifs class, so ofher falenf was used. Besides 'rwo shorf comic skifs, which were done very burlesquely, Michel Angelo, a former sfudenf of fhis high school, gave a char- acfer chalk falk. The program was kepf lively by snappy musical numbers and dances. I5
