Under the able guidance of Miss' Harriet McCausland, faculty adviser, the mid-year class of 1932-33, totaling twenty-three members, was graduated on February 3, 1933. In addition, two members were granted their diplomas on December 16, upon having completed the necessary work, in order that they might gain admission to San lose State College for the Ianuary semester. Although no member of the class was particularly outstanding, all were a credit to the high school. Quite often a mid-year class is more or less of a misfit, and does not mix very readily with the members of the other classes. Even though the class of 1932-33 was small many members made themselves known in varied fields. Katherine Sherman, lrene Dudlield, Elizabeth Duveneck, and Helen Webster were very interested in art, and turned out many fine examples of their work. Donald Collins participated in boys' athletics, especially in basket- ball and track. Ioe Dutra was the manager of this year's football squad. Madelyn Hughes, a transfer from Watsonville, contributed to the dramatic work of the high school. Many members of this class dropped out at various intervals in their school career, yet enough passed safely through the stormy years to make a good showing at graduation. This graduation was the .lirstbne in the school's history in which the graduates wore caps and gowns. The class decided to wear this style of graduating clothes because of the economy. The girls wore white robes and caps with green tassels, while the boys wore grey robes and caps with red tassels. The graduation exercises began with an overture The Magic Flute, by Mozart, which was followed by the presenting and accepting of the class gift. Charles Tyler, the president, speaking for his class, gave ten dollars for purchasing books for the library, which was accepted by Lloyd Iury, president of the junior class. Mrs. A. M. Cathcart, president of the Board of Education. gave a very inter- esting graduation address, and she also presented Dan Rankin with a gold seal and Ioe Dutra with a scholarship from a business college. The oflicers of this 1932-33 mid-year class were Charles Tyler, president: and Katherine Sherman, secretary-treasurer.'The rest of the class include Iames Armstrong, Lillian Elise Backlifind, Thomas Finley Blakemore, Frances Camilla Bowie, Marie Montessori Cable, Irene Lillian Dudfield, Ioseph Oliver Dutra, Elizabeth Boott Duveneck, Clinton Horne, Ronald DeVore Iohnson, Frances Elizabeth Mc- Caughey, Evalyn Ester Melani, Frank Carleton Mott, Louise Margaret Parker, Hazel Afton Rackstraw, Dan Richard Rankin, Katharine Sherman, Lulie Simo- nini, Hideo Takaoka, Hazel Irene Tuggle, Charles Thurston Tyler, Germaine Louise Viand, and Helen Webster.
