Pleasanf is fhe reminiscence of our school days, dafing baclc fo 'rhe day when we so relucfanfly, yef proudly, leff home fo enfer fhe firsf grade. As the years passed, so did we advance from childhood and elemenfary classes fo adolescence and infermediafe classes and finally fo high school life and near adulfhood. As Suffering Sophomores , we survived from fhaf gruesome inifiafion be- sfowed upon us by fhe upperclassmen, buf we were soon fo learn fhaf fhis year was nof as full of suffering as we had anficipafed. The highlighf of fhis year was The Valen+ine's Dance which we so successfully sponsored. Sepfember of I953 greefed us as eager Jolly Juniors . Revenge is sweef -fhaf was our main fhoughf as we so enfhusiasfically planned fhe inifiafion pro- gram for fhose poor Sophomores. Ofher acfivifies fo eradicafe fhe gloom of fhe academic phase of school were fhe class moonlighf picnic in November, fhe Pre- Chrisfmas Dance in December, Junior class day and fhe nighl' of enchanfmenf- fhe Junior-Senior Promenade in April. Signs of being grown-ups were evidenf when we refurned in Sepfember as Mighfy Seniors -fhe boys sporfed manly musfaches, while fhe girls were fad- conscious wifh fheir wide variefy of slcirfs, belfs, blouses, and chic hair-bobs. Class leaders fhis year were Harry Nishihara, presidenfg Irene Yoshida, vice pres- idenfg Helene lida, secrefaryg and Richard Kado, freasurer under fhe advisorship of Miss Clara Kochi. Highlighfing fhe climax of high school life were fhe fun-filled moonlighf picnic in November, fhe successful Moonlighf Serenade Dance sponsored in January: fhe class play, Heavenly Daze , which revealed many hidden falenfsg fhe Senior class day in June when we enferfained fhe underclassmen and faculfy for fhe lasf fime, leaving wiih fhem a memory which will always linger, The annual Junior-Senior Promenade in April, and fhe Senior Banquef when all of us were al' our very besf and enioyed a fime of feasfing and dancing. All buf foo soon came fhe day of days-The day when our accomplishmenfs were finally recognized and rewarded-Commencemenf Day. Deserving sfudenfs were honored wifh awards.
