According To The besT inTormed auThoriTies we learn ThaT a pioneer is one who goes ahead To prepare The way Tor oThers To Tollow. WhaT are The qualiTies oT a good pioneer? A Tar reaching vision, Tearlessness, resourcefulness, a capaciTy Tor work, an abiliTy To make and keep Triends, endless courage. LeT us recounT some oT our pioneers oT The pasT and see if They possessed The quali- Ties here named. ChrisTopher Columbus, The discovererg David LivingsTon, The mis- sionaryg Marian Anderson, The musician: George WashingTon Carver, The scienTisTg Abraham Lincoln, The emancipaTor, and Franklin D. RoosevelT, The New Dealer. I believe ThaT in each oT These persons we can see noT only The presence oT The pioneer- ing qualiTies buT The resulT oT The proper applicaTion and developmenT necessary To produce The desired resulTs. ls There any hope Tor you and Tor me. My answer is yes. IT we culTivaTe The TalenTs which we have and give Them The proper aTTenTion, There is no limiT To The possibiliTies ThaT lie wiThin us. l.eT us remember ThaT a kiTe rises againsT The wind, also a carrier poinTs iTs nose inTo The wind so ThaT iTs planes can rise in The air, and also ThaT The pole vaulTer has been able To aTTain The presenT records because The crossbar was raised a liTTle higher wiTh each succeeding iump.

Upon receiving a cordial yes They came in and were assigned To a room over which presided Two raTher sTern looking individuals who checked cards and blue-pen- ciled subiecT maTTer wiTh a speed ThaT made newcomers dizzy. These young people however, were OT sTern characTer and unaTraid chose Their leaders Tor The year wiTh Wayne Munyan as PresidenT. The year rolled by and anoTher dawned. Sad To say many oT The original number had leTT, buT during The year we received recruiTs in The persons oT Alice Terry, Hazel Oliveria, Rose ForesTiere, Erma ChrisTopher, Beverley Underhill, Mary Medeiros, and Carl Kaminska. Wayne Munyan again led The group, assisTed by able oTTicers. Under Their direcTion The class conducTed a successTul scrap drive and gave The incoming Freshmen a rousing welcome under The Theme l-Tow Green We Are. ln our Third year we began To make The sTudenT body know ThaT we were people oT imporTance. Who does noT remember our presenTaTion oT The pageanT, The Na- TiviTy, aT ChrisTmasg our assembly program. Twelve Old Maids, and our ouTsTand- ing Junior Prom which had as iTs seTTing The Old SouTh.

Our Senior year has been one oT mingled TorTunes. We have losT many oT our Tine boys. We have been The class who has had To make sacriTices OT all kinds: yeT, under our excellenT sTaTT oT oTTicers picTures above we have carried on and kepT smiling in The midsT oT The gloom and Tragedy oT war. Now we are aT The end oT The Trail so Tar as our high school days are concerned, and proudly we Tace The world and hurl as a chal- lenge our moTTo FaiTh and Build Tor Tomorrow.

September l944l School began and many old friends greeted each other. We Sopho- mores felt much more confident than we did as Freshmen. Our activities began with the ever-famous Freshman Reception, at which time the tiny Freshmen trembled, thinking of our breath-taking theme, Black Friday. Next, a skating party at Modesto proved to be fun for ally then came the highlight of the year-the combined picnic at the hills with the Gustine Sophomores-More fun! Finally the school year l944-l945 came to a close. The class is looking forward to a happier and more successful Junior year in l945-I94-6. -John Mutoza.

Our firsf maior appearance was in The presenfafion of Our Original one-acf play en- Tifled l-ler' Fame Ends. Our prominence in sfudenf loody affairs Took on added impor- Tance from Then on, and we Freshmen gradually assumed The posifion which we so righfly deserved. Our desire fo increase our Treasury was fulfilled when we decided TO sell colces af baskefball games and dances.
