The Madrono June 1930 The Officers The Class of 1930 THE original class of 1930 entered this high school about 85 strong, fresh from Intermediate. A large majority have stayed in the class all the way through high school, and a good many of the class officers have always been chosen from this group. In a total class of 155, all four of the officers of the class have come direct from Charming Intermediate. It is very easy to remember the thrill of coming to high school. How small you felt! And how small you were! With few exceptions the freshman curriculum consisted of history, algebra, English, and a language. This was the first year that the use of the Palo Alto High School was avail- able to students graduated from the Mayfield Grammar School, Mayfield having been annexed to Palo Alto in 1925, and many came over from that community. That was before the day of sidewalks along the Highway, and a deep path was worn across what is now the golf practice field. Southgate was a young but up-and-coming subdivision, and did a great deal to promote good feeling between the newly joined communities. The new library had been not built and one would walk right in where now is the intersection by the Chem- istry room, 500. The open theatre was a barren waste, full of parked cars, for though there are not the 130 cars that we now boast, there were enough, according to Mr. Nichols, to present quite a problem. The class of 1930 is proud to have gained many popular and upstanding additions, and leaves the school with a light heart.
