Class of ign— he fourteen members of the Viking crew of reached port after a long and hazardous trip the afternoon of January 29, 1932. With the graduation of this class, we have lost many valuable athletes, artists, and scholars. Many of the class dropped along the way; others studied in order to graduate in June, 1931; and some few postponed graduation until June, 1932. This class is truly worthy of our Viking Ship, as many of its members have followed the sea and hope finally to attain high positions, both in naval and merchant marine. - As there were no official officers in this class, the president, John Steers, and Miss Harriet McCausland, the faculty advisor, piloted the ship through the stormy home passage. Victor Buenrie and Russell Bacher, having completed the required work, were graduated before Christmas, the former in order that he might make a voyage around the horn with the California Nautical School, and the latter to be able to enter San Jose State Teachers1 College, the second quarter of which began in January. Other Classes Coming from Channing Avenue School in September two hundred strong, the freshman class quickly made itself known to the school. Al- though the class as a whole did not undertake any activities, various mem- bers gained recognition for their class by their participation in extra-curricu- lar activities, and especially in literary and athletic fields. The sophomores had the only class party this year and in spite of the fact that it rained dismally the night of their cance-social, they managed to break even on expenses, and the small crowd enjoyed an abundance of re- freshments. As time goes on, this class moves more and more into the active life of the school. It is evident, by the fact that fifteen juniors sought the offices of student body commissioners this spring, that the members of the class of '33 are vitally concerned in student affairs. Members of the junior class engaged in practically every activity in the school throughout the year, and they also ranked high in scholarship. These facts should give them a good start on their management of the student body next year. [27]
