Glau Jfiutvuf It was in the fall of 1937 when we stood there, sixty-four of us, puzzled, bewildered Baby Bearkittens on the threshold of Paso Hi. We were starting a long climb upward, at least it seemed like a long four years then, but little did we realize that it would be such a short time until we'd call Paso Robles our Alma Mater. With Pioneer Day as the theme of our initiation, those Seniors of ,37 gave us a rousing welcome and we were soon full fledged stu- dents of Paso. Realizing that we needed a guiding hand, we chose Miss Hendricks as our faculty adviser, Sam Lones as our class president and representa- tive on the executive board. Our boys began their climb in sports and we were well repre- sented in all four of Paso's major sports ac- tivities. Our boys, unknown to them, were to build a sturdy foundation for the Future Farm- ers Chapter organized in our school. And the girls, not to be outdone, took an active part in Girls' League activities, and the unifonn con- test. In short, we all pulled together in school activities with the thought of service in mind. Closed our first year in Paso Hi just a little more confident that we were before. Then we grew up, at least started to, and progressed from Baby Bearkittens. Ernie Chris- tensen took the lead as our Sophomore class president and Coach Beiden became our adviser. We still couldn't command the respect we wanted, but we realized we had the neces- sary talent among us to make us outstanding. We were represented in all school organiza- tions. Our boys were becoming more important in athletics, several students were taking the front in all divisions of music, more students became members of the Honor Society, we were represented on the executive board, all in all, we closed our Sophomore year with a feeling of something accomplished and a great deal gained. No longer underclassmen, and we are now Bearcats, I939, and we begin our Junior year, a year in which our class is going to hold the spotlight in all school activities. After getting the preliminaries out of the way by electing El- bert Donkin as our class president, and giving Mr. Haugh the job of pulling us through this year we settled down to a busy fall, winter, and spring. Football season! None of us will ever forget that year, our Junior boys in the line up for each major game. They played hard and fast games, then we met our famous rival, San Luis, on our home field. The boys on the field that day played for Paso Hi, we almost won, the closest game in x 6 years. A play committee, tryouts, and finally the cast was chosen for our junior Class play. In December, after weeks of rehearsing, under the direction of Mr. Haugh, we presented Spring Fever . We put our hearts into it. Once again sports came to the front, this time in the form of basketball. We had an almost spectacular team this year. We were San Luis Obispo County Champs, then to Santa Bar- bara. Not stopping here we won the Minor League in Ventura County, and met our defeat in the Major League of the same county. Elbert Donkin, Sam Lones, Jack Kleck, and Charles Frazier were the four Junior boys chosen by the local service clubs to attend Boys' State in Sacramento in June. We planned our Prom, a japanese Tea Gar- den, in the Paso Robles Hotel. Probably the memory of that prom will live on, longer than we thought possible, because it was the last Prom held in the old Hotel. May Day was under our supervision, and with that we left Paso for three months, no longer uncertain, but knowing that next year would be our last, we were just a little saddened. Senior Bearcats and we start the last lap of our uphill climb. This year promised to be full for us, both as a group and as individuals! Ruben Landa took the lead 'as our class president, Mr. Haugh was unanimously chosen as our adviser and up we went. Once again Ruben Landa took the spot light by being elected football captain, and he led a grand team. Some of our students were exceptionally out- standing. Margaret Brown, solo clarinet player in the high school band was chosen to play in the Six-State Band at San Jose, Elbert Donkin was elected president of the Honor Society and Senior Hi-Y, Sammy Lones was student body president, Margie Fricke placed second in the County Bankers Association Contest, and Britta Lindfors took the lead in becoming Girl Re- serve president. Ditch Day! That long awaited day when the Seniors get away from it all, by themselves, leaving the rest of the world behind! Our Senior Class play, June Mad, started Senior graduation activities, and we repeated our class play success of the preceeding year, thanks again to the diction of Mr. Haugh and the cooperation of the cast. Now to the strains of our school hymn, we stand, ask the alumni of Paso Hi to sing with us those words which so thoroughly explain our feeling for what is now our Alma Mater. We arn't stopping here, we are going on up, we leave behind us a new tradition, our Senior Lawn, yes, good-bye, and thanks for the Mem- ories. PAGE FIFTEEN
