£ The Madrono fl£ J our interesting years have passed for the group of freshmen who en- L Y tered this high school in 1927. To-day, the ' 31 class, including the £ y February graduates, numbers 193. What a thrill the freshmen party was! Our beloved old friend, Mr. Mercer, presided. Do you recall with what zeal we competed for the grand prize, lolly- pops, in the baloon race? And wasn ' t it Julie Hopkins who won? Good old days! Before long, we were actively connected with every important phase of high school lffef Many leaders were developed from our group who, as seniors, have been awarded gold seals for exceptional scholarship and silver seals for partici- pation in various school activities. The class interests became keenly identified with those of the school. What- ever added to the general welfare had the aspect of a personal joy: therefore, the pride in the new football turf dedicated to Coach Ray and our enthusiasm over the completion of the new Boys ' Gym. An outstanding contribution to convenience was the publication of a school handbook compiled by the present class president. Decorative garden improvements have been made in the Senior Court and an appropriate permanent class memorial was dedicated to Mr. George Mercer. We are leaving the school with a deep sense of gratitude to our principal, Mr. Nichols, and members of the faculty for their guidance. The class officers were president, Kenneth Eells; vice-president, Betty Gray; secretary, Robert Estes; treasurer, Charles Chao; senior court custo- dian, Howard Wright. ii
