Several weeks after the term started we went to the low senior party at the Recreation Center, where we met new friends and old. Later we attended the main event of the term, Roman Holiday, our low senior dinner. The decorations and the menu tied in well with our Italian theme. Coming back to Tech after an exciting summer, we found ourselves mighty high seniors. We also found that we were to have a new prin- cipal for our last term at Tech. l-le was Mr. George Bliss, who previously was principal at San Leandro High. Our senior activities began almost immediately. Our first event was the senior picnic, held at Marsh Creek. Some of us spent our time in the swimming pool, while others went horseback riding or played baseball. Some brave seniors even ventured to take a ride on the Marsh Creek Express.

Now we were juniors and we found a new counselor, Mr. Donald Lucas, who was replacing Miss jones, who had left Tech to get mar- ried. lmmediately we began working on our junior Prom, which was our first big event. Our theme was a Chinese one, and the prom was called Shangri-la. Even though we spent many hours preparing for it, We were not too tired to enjoy our prom immensely. Besides partici- pating in activities, We found time to study such subjects as chemistry, history and trigonometry. We returned from summer vacation to find a new dean of boys, Mr. Charles Gilmore, who had come to us from Castlemont. Fall came again, and every Friday we could be seen sup- porting our football team. After scouring our rivals, Oakland High, We Won the O.A.L. championship for the second consecutive year. At the end of this term, for the first time, some of our classmates were able to run for student body offices.

Carrying out our Chinese H - - 11 . , , theme. We Spent a Night in Cathay. Various low seniors dressed 111 coolie coats and hats served us our dinner.

His nickname promptly changed from Shorty to Pop, The next event on our busy schedule was the senior farewell, An Oriental Garden Party, Where We became further acquainted with parents, teachers, and students, alike. This was the last affair where We were all together. To complete the Chinese theme, our final event, the senior ball, Iade, was held Ianuary 9, 1953.
